Usually dramas that aren't just fluffy romance with a neat bowtie garner less positive feedback, unfortunately.

Fast Paced romance because the main couple get together very early in the series. But the series is a slowburn because the story centers around how they manage and maintain their relationship and overcome all the hurdles. Showing them trying to balance their work/careers with their personal lives and getting over their past relationships, etc.

He has always played nice, good guys. So it was fun seeing him in a not-so-nice role on MPD. He is such a versatile actor. Whether it's in musicals or romcoms or crime thrillers or drama, he can do it all! Hope to see him in a lead role soon!

If you like heavy drama, then go for it.

Yes! I honestly think it is his best dramatic performance so far.

I've seen that type of thinking a lot lately.

It's a very Western-style drama. It's the kind of concept that you'd see on say an American network. Think Lost or Manifest or Heroes. Or even something like Battlestar Galactica or Supernatural. That is, it has a premise that is very clearly developed to be a multi-season series. So, it piles question upon question before throwing in wild twists and turns in the hopes that they can somehow pull everything together in the end. You think it's going one way before it completely swerves into something else. And that's definitely uncommon for a Korean drama.

How could you say CITT was his most successful when it was universally disliked. At the very least, his most successful drama is probably "Are You Human?" Solid ratings and he won Best Actor at the KBS Drama Awards.

The way they mirrored each of the weather phenomena with what was going on in the characters' lives was very clever.

I just finished it and it actually is a very similar vibe. The slowburn type of character drama with a large ensemble cast of characters who are dealing with life, basically. When the Weather is Fine has the edge for me because of its provincial setting and more heartwarming moments though.

I liked it very much.

I like slow burn dramas and was pleasantly surprised that it actually kept quite a steady pace throughout. I found myself not fast forwarding through any parts. Which I've done a lot more, even for shows I enjoyed more than this one.

The basics are similar. Including initial story and even having two main couples. Both are romcoms, but I think this one has a bit more heart and emotional moments. Especially because of the ML's medical condition which is real.

Two couples.

Yes, he is in the military now I believe.

Beautiful drama. Why was it not nominated at the Baeksangs? Robbed!

I think his role in FLAW is very refreshing since Siwoo is happy, positive, youthful. His best performance so far has been Navillera which was a very emotional and heartfelt performance. And his other lead roles (Nevertheless/Love Alarm) have been him being a jerk aka "bad boy". Sweet Home is also a far different genre as well. So him in FLAW allowed him to show a different side of his acting and he did a good job.

I enjoyed When the Weather is Fine. Is Forecasting Love and Weather a similar vibe?

12 episodes was fine for this story. The main draw for these kinds of plots is seeing how the initial "lie" is dealt with, how the character has to maneuver themselves out of trouble, etc. And then after the secret is revealed/character gets caught, how the main couple eventually admit their true feelings to each other. Business Proposal settled both parts pretty early on and the final episodes were simply about the two couples enjoying their relationships. Which usually is saved for the finale since the conflict is usually over by then.

"Secret Life of My Secretary" - Kinda similar storyline and both the main couples are great in tthe drama as well, just like here on Business Proposal. A thoroughly stress-free, wholesome and sweet romcom. With some nice emotional and deeper moments thrown in too.
