Wait, are those new pics official press conference pics or just rumored actors/fan casting?

Is MBC every1 a sister tv network to MBC or is this a webdrama?

Older guy starting over gets entangled with a young ingenue? With that kind of plot I'm surprised this isn't airing on Channel A tbh.

Ty for linking!

I could only find the first 3 chapters: https://kissmanga.in/kissmanga/straight-outta-manhwa/

The manhwa has less than 40 eps rn and isn't finished. It will be interesting how they adapt/add to the plot for the drama. I've liked adaptations that have expanded on the original plot (My ID is Gangnam Beauty, Meow) and ones that stayed pretty true (Itaewon Class--at least what I've read of it), but there's stinkers in both categories as well.

Ya, I have less of an issue with age gap where the younger person is 30+ like in Dinner Mate/Shall We Have Dinner Together, but i find it disturbing when it's coupled with a psychologist/patient relationship.

Why/how is there a rating for this already?

I miss them. :(

I usually don't have the perserverance for a 100 ep drama (so much filler with storylines idc about), but i'll give it a try bc I loved jkj in her last project.

I agree! Age gap with the younger person being 31 isn't bad by itself, but couple it with a psychiatrist is a recipe for manipulation, esp in ways that the younger person/patient might not even realize are happening.

Age gap AND the ML is her freaking psychiatrist?! Sounds perfect for an unhealthy, manipulative, and gaslighting relationship. Too bad, bc JSM is a really fantastic actress but I'm nope-ing out of this one.

They started to release it through english webtoon, but i'm surprised no one tried to scanlate it before then.

Yes, this! He loves her because he's been looking for her for decades whereas to her, he entered into her world as some rando spouting nonsense. That being said, at the end of ep 4 when she started to believe him, I started feeling some real chemistry sparks between them.

Idk, the end of ep 4 really sold me on it.

Also all the comments about how unattractive Kim Go Eun are gross, not bc she's actually pretty (which she is!) but that has absolutely no bearing on her worth or ability as an actor, which btw she excels at.

Wowee this show is divisive. I'm so glad I watched despite the mixed bag reviews because I love it.

I was going to agree with you, esp bc I have a soft spot for the pining of a life-long friend but I hadn't thought about the Luna possibility. If they go that route I hope they sell it as real between a distinctly diff Luna so it doesn't feel like he had to "settle" for the knock-off Taeeul.

What series did you drop?

I read the 78 chapters I could find and it's actually a pretty straightforward love triangle story. The doll doesn't really have a lot to do with the plot after the very beginning of the story. She's there throughout but she mostly does a parallel makeup tutorial for different events in the main character's life and if she wasn't there it would make very little difference in the plot. The story is less convoluted then say, Cheese in the Trap was.
