Another brilliant article! Thank you, Lua and 3GGG for your great work! I'm looking forward to part2.~
As for Signal, I don't think it should have a romance tag. Yes, Soo Hyeon liked Jae Han, but I couldn't tell whether he also felt the same or he only cared for her as a colleague and a friend. Their relationship never developed into something, so I don't think there is romance in Signal. But I've always wondered why dramas like Remember: War Of The Son don't have a romance tag. Yeah, the romance isn't the main plot, but it is there, it is even developed unlike in Signal. If anyone has an idea why Remember doesn't have a romance tag, feel free to share it with me. But as @Scrlt_pimpernel said, tags are subjective.
lol im all here for dark characters and dramas showing the dark side of human nature, ur not supposed to like…
Yeah but they couldn't handle it well, that's why bong soon was kinda messy although I liked it. Plus in Bong Soon, the killer was the problem, not one of the main characters. As I said, in HPL we have sasaeng appearances, but if Duk Mi was also a sasaeng fan, it would have ruined the whole point of the drama.

There's nothing wrong with dramas showing the dark side of human nature. But HPL is made to entertain people, to make them smile, it's a romcom after all. I also like dark characters, but not in this genre and definitely not in dramas like Her Private Life
Reply 1997 and the Reply series are very popular so I don't think 1977 is underrated. I finished it, but it wasn't my thing, it was just boring. I love Go Back Couple though.
Wait.... so did they change the characters/plot or something ??
It could have been a mistake or idk... I remember when Encounter started airing, it was written in the synopsis that the Fl has a child but it wasn't true. I guess the same happened here, don't know why.
