omg, I was not a fan of Cruel City at all, but so many people love it.
My 1st time with her was in 49Days, and this drama was so good, ans he truly did amazing job there. If I watched CC 1st I might have not like her too hahaha

I wish more people made lists like that. I always laugh my ass checking them out. Honestly tho, Ji Chang Wook ain't even that bad, but he always plays more or less the same roles so it;s freaking boring.

omg yeah you probably should. I have to say all the newer projects of Eun Hye were bad...

I wouldn't care about anything, but oh no... You don't like Nam Gyu Ri :( What dramas of her have you seen?

Kim Eui Sung is so good at playing evil characters tbh, I love him. Or rather I truly LOVE to hate his characters lol

I agree with all of them except Yoon Eun Hye, sadly the only role I liked her in was Coffee Prince :(
Also, even tho I know Gong Hyo Jin is amazing actress and her skills are mad good, I can't get into her roles.
Oh, and I miss Ryu Hwa Young.

like, let the couple be couple and do couple shit but as a side story lol

I'm curious, coz some dramas you have on this list you did not really rate that high, did you re-rate them at some point or just simply there was for example specific aspect/plot line/character in said dramas that you loved, even if the dramas was just okay?

I LOVED Lee Dong Gun as Yi Yoong. I could not care less about the main couple, I would much rather have a story center around Yi Yoong.

Son Ye Jin is such a good actress tbh. And IU, she made such a progress since her beginnings!

From the ones I saw, we rated them pretty similar. I did rate 10/10 only The Untamed and Secretly Greatly, but no other rating is lower than 8.5 which is still really high :)
I love this new feature that we can see our ratings next to the ratings of the person who created the list :D

I could not care less about baseball, know literally nothing about it, but I enjoyed 1st episode a lot :)

that gif at the end... that scene was everything.
thank you for writing awesome article, for sure more people should watch this drama. It's really good :)

Everyone can interpret the show and the ending their own way, I just presented mine :)
About Haru's ability I don't think writer gave it to him. I think he could change the story because he was just an extra without a name or any characteristics so there was not set-up for him on hiw he should act and behave both on stage and in shadow. When he was brought back as Kyung's friends, and he got a proper set-up for the stage, he lost his free will and ability to move freely during the stage. If I had to guess: all nameless extras if had awareness, could change the stage :)

I think the author wanted to stop Haru from messing up the plot. By writing him off and then bringing him back he erased his memories of Danoh.
If I must be honest, from what we saw in the drama I imagined the writer to be a dumb teen girl who is not really good at writing, but has some talent in drawing. And she is writing those cliche stories simply coz he cannot do anything more profound. Coz she is too young and not experience enough with writing. Seeing how I don't see the writer as smart from the beginning, I see no problem with excusing his/her stupid actions that lead to nowhere hahaha

Oh I love that they did not bring the writer into it and they did not explain who he/she was. The only way it could happen would be if either the characters get from manhwa to a real world or if writer came to the manhwa world. But I would not like that "world-crossing" part. I love that they were not part of our reality and those two were never mixed :)

The part of the quote in the article is your answer about Kyung „We fall into a deep sleep... until the writer draws us again.” He was not drawn into the new comic so he's like in a big bag of characters that the writer ever created, and is in that "deep sleep". Since he is not a real person, he can literally cease to exist and be brought back by the author.
As for Dan Oh, it bothers me too since there was not real explanation for it. I guess there might have been in the webtoon that the drama is based on.

in what sense? What don't we know?

It is clear, the author did not want to include the other characters in a new manhwa so he did not drawn them. We may not like it, but it is logical as far as the plot goes.
The author was never part of the plot as a character so it makes sense we know nothing about him/her. And he/she tried to control the characters, like removing Haru from the story and them bringing him back without memories.
As far as we know, the author is neither the smartest nor the most creative one, so it make sense he just picks random characters he likes and forgets about the others like it's not a big deal. It all is frustrating, but it make sense taking into consideration how they set the author up and with the characteristics he has.

Yes but he changed the scene during the shadow not during the stage and he carried her away after the scene ended during shadow too. All of those happen during shadow not stage.
Also truth to be told, I am pretty sure any character which is self-aware could try and maybe change the stage during the shadow, but they just never tried.
As for the reasoning why author brought Haru back as Kyung friend? They did give straight answer but we could speculate about it: He still wanted to watch Haru and Dan Oh being separated and in pain after they messed up his previous work (so kind of punishment), he truly liked drawing Haru so he wrote him off as an extra (to make him lose his awareness and memories) and brought him back as Kyung's friend so he won't be able to movie freely during the stage. I don't think dramas needs to explain EVERY question that may be opened by the plot. Sometimes I find it okay to leave some stuff for viewers to speculate. Especially since we truly know nothing about the author except from what we ourself conclude based on his work.
