No, It's pure trash. If not for Ji Sung, no one would be watching this.
There are at least 7 kdramas I like this year, but there are as many if not more that are just plain bad. Which is fine, for they can’t possibly all be a hit. I guess me criticizing those garners more attention than positive feedback of the others 🙄. Or you never watched any of those good ones.
I'm sure there won't be as much as in recent Alchemy of Souls 🙄 , I survived through its endless love polygons, I can survive watching them here. Though I do hate love triangles...
I see, as usual those mangas are endless 🙄. The drama adaptation won't follow it to the letter then, because it only has 12 short episodes and will have to have a definitive ending.
The show is pretty fun, easy going and good. You can see how the plot will move for rest of the episodes & we…
Drinking ridiculous number of bottles of soju and beer, female getting wasted, piggyback home, blackout about what happened last night - those are the tropes you can see in practically every second kdrama. They're all alcoholics there and are promoting that kind of culture through their media.
I find the acting of both FL & ML (Han Ji Yul) awkward and somehow not quite right or is this how the writer wanted…
They're supposed to be awkward at this point in the plot. They don't know how to act around each other - common beginning in rom-com kdramas. ML is clueless and frankly is awkward with everyone in that village because he's out of his element, and their nosiness annoys him. But he stumbles upon FL so frequently she's already creeping into his thoughts. FL knows ML from their childhood days (he was her childhood crush?) and silently tries to get him to remember her, but he still doesn't, so she's kinda butt hurt about it. I'm sure he'll come around eventually and it's gonna get sugar sweet 🍨 🙄.
Is there anything sadder than expecting it to have a happy ending and waiting till the last minutes of episode…
If you found this cliffhanger ending painful I'd advice against watching Alchemy of Souls - it's x20 times more painful than than this one. Good thing its part 2 is airing this December, but people are going nuts already.
As for me, I wasn't really all that invested in "Poong, the Joseon Psychiatrist" characters or story. A rather draggy tale with ridiculous medicinal practices, cartoonish villains and the leads are so innocent I'm willing to bet they'll beat around the bush until the end of the next season (or are there gonna be more than 2?). In any case, not too bad of a show, but could have been way better. My favorite character here is Jo Shin Woo - he's a cool warrior with a cool hat and cool sense of justice, I hope he'll return in season 2 😆. Joseon hats are 💖!
it's probably due to plastic surgery. she looked weird in forecasting too
Yea, I was thinking the same, she looks weird here. Like a victim of a plastic surgery gone wrong. Latest teaser just really highlights that there's something very off about her face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J46pHaPpg3M
I know she did some plastic surgery already earlier, but here it looks like something extra was done. 🤦♂️ Personally, because how wooden/unnatural her face started to look in dramas starting from What's Wrong with Secretary Kim (2018) I can no longer find her acting enjoyable anymore. She was better way back during Healer times, when she had a more natural looking face.
You’re better off not watching this drama if all you do is nitpick and complain about the characters. What’s…
I'm all for character development, but after 17 years there hasn't been much of it seems, especially for ML. But of course, it will start now with the law cafe 🙄 . I can critique the ridiculous premise if it's ridiculous, can I not?
Let me guess, they're all ongoing and we're watching the same ones. What a whooping coincidence 🙄. Also, not all ongoing ones I'm watching are bad for me, but praising comments are not interesting, right? Some people just can't pass by any critique of something they like...
I can't believe some people are hating joy's character here. She is the cutest.Its okay not to feel the character…
I agree, aside from tropey countryside interactions with the locals there were not enough episodes to deserve the bashing. I think it's an ok drama so far and because episodes are short it doesn't have the time to transform into a sappy soap like Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and the likes. Just a simple comedy about a city guy out of his element and his life in the country.
Ugh, ML is such a dumbass 🤦♂️Another one suffering from noble stupidity. Because he's related to the scumbags (look up the relationship chart in the photos section) that painted FL's late father as a drunkard at work, he feels guilty and pushes her away. Because of his family he wasted so much time, instead of being a prosecutor and being happy with FL. He even told his cousin doctor to stay away from her as well. Yea, very 'mature' 🙄. Let's not talk about the important things, instead let's run away and beat around the bush for 17 (!) years. Also, he's what, secretly investigating that case for so long? I get that when he was young he couldn't muster the courage to ask her out for real and then learnt about his family involvement. But dude, you're so old now - time to start thinking what you really want out of life already 🤦♂️🤦♂️. FL is not much better - first she friendzoned him from the early days, then asked him to fake date and now she still has no clue why he avoids her. This is so predictable and also rather cringe, because actors look old here, would have been more natural if they were younger. Not a disasterous miscast like in Kiss Sixth Sense, but could have been better.

It's big tax money, maybe that's why it gets encouraged in SK. SK is the heavyweight in alcohol comsumption in East Asia. They rank high worldwide as well, here for example they're ranked 4th:
