A bit late but I finally finished Squid Game- it was mediocre at best! Wonder how many people liked it because it was trendy? This doesn’t make the cut in my top 10 kdramas of 2021!

He spent 10 years of his youth in Canada :)

Netflix subtitles are the worst! To the point where if I’m highly anticipating a show, I hope for it to be on viki instead. They crowdsource subtitles so it take a bit of time, but it’s more true to the actual emotions and dialog portrayed.

That was so weird! Not sure if the whole locking arms was meant to be funny but it just seemed so awkward.

Something doesn’t feel right about this show. Maybe it’s how the emotions are portrayed or the decisions people make, or maybe the constant drinking. It doesn’t feel believable! The only ‘real’ emotional scene to me was when Mi Jo first broke down in Jin Seok’s office….

Still can’t feel the chemistry between Ha Kyung and Shi Woo

This drama is so silly but still enjoyable! KSJ doing her best makjang 😅

Can’t blame only Han Ki Joon for that fight. I feel like it was a 50-50!

Right? I sort of liked his dual role in You Are My Spring. Really hoping for him to get a strong main lead role soon.

Wow 100% agreed! Thanks for saying this! Yoon Park is really doing justice to his role, and Song Kang is over hyped as usual. All his dramas have been mediocre (with the exception of Navillera where the credit doesn’t really go to him). We’ll wait and see how PMY steers brought her role, but I’m not feeling it right now.

It’s quite bad so far! I don’t condone rating any show this early but maybe people are genuinely disliking it!

Sure! Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

From what I understand, Korea has the highest alcohol consumption per capita so they actually do drink a lot! But I agree, this show portrays these women getting drunk so many times and on back to back days that it makes you wonder if there are signs of alcoholism! I’m 38 so I know it is tough, at this age a hangover lasts almost three days 😂

Wonder if someone is keeping track of how much alcohol has been consumed on this show so far! 🥲

The most commendable thing this drama did is to make so many people believe this is actually good. It’s just a mess of complications and time jumps. Something that could’ve totally been 12 episodes was so drawn out it made me a bit numb towards the end. I’ll go rewatch Flower of evil now- a MUCH better crime thriller!

This really grew on me! All the supporting characters are so endearing and they all have a wonderful growth trajectory. Behind the silly ghost doctor premise there is a lot of depth!

Yes absolutely! That part is quite thrilling. You can tell that the showrunners did a lot of research and made it look as believable as possible. Can’t wait for more weather related action 😆

Lol totally! People get so hung up on these numbers. I have personally dropped shows that are generally well received, just because it wasn’t my cup of tea! 😅 No big deal.

Watched all 4 and I think they’re fine but not extraordinary. I think you should give it a try just because there are so many conflicting opinions on MDL. Maybe it will grow on you 😊

Actually I agree! I think the show is very plain and I’m not hooked. I’ll probably give it another 2 episodes because I love Park Min Young but overall I don’t see much chemistry between the leads and pacing is also not great. On the other hand, loving Twenty Five Twenty One. It has a lot of potential!
