nominee for garbage of the year. decent production handicapped with middling script alongwith leads that were simply out of place and miscasted for the roles.
If you're interested in K-dramas, I would argue they have 2 of the best to have aired this year: "Shadow Detective,"…
Court drama is absolutely mid and offers nothing new that dozen other law dramas this year haven't already. 'Shadow Detective' got multiple seasons so I'm waiting for it to end to have a go at it. huge investment doesn't always guarantee good product esp if it's spent largely on improving production quality.
one last response regarding this. you're confusing niche audience with fanbase of a show which would be fine for a show like Bojack (even though it also seems to have a relatively decent audience). sitcoms end when they can't garner enough tv ratings to continue even though it may have fans regularly tuning in. 'Community' is a good example of this. it used to be the case for other genres too but once a niche like sci-fi is the new norm. they simply cater to its own audience. rise of OTTs has nothing but contributed to this trend. comedy has evolved into its own niche too. but most comedy in sitcoms is very broad from sketches to slapstick. the ones you mentioned don't try to narrow it down to a particular one.
You know what I dislike about this drama? The fact that these two ADULTS can't just open their mouths and say…
90% of drama plots don't deserve 16 hrs show-and-tell. that and lazily hinging on cliche tropes (esp in romcoms) gives rise to these types of issues in dramas.
again stop assuming. comedy is the ultimate genre imo coz for both audience and people working on it. I only said that bringing up critical reviews as a benchmark for a product that's clearly meant for a relaxation and laughter is bs. sitcoms are not looking for niche audience or some critic praising them for some joke they did. popularity is thier ultimate prize. becoming popular (aka large crowd finding enjoyment in a product) is the goal of a sitcom production. so it wasn't a contemptuous comment as you may think it was.
wife-son/uncle subplot is absolute basura and production should've given all that screentime to dive into hate-companion relationship between Seungchon and Yeojin. it would make his romance with Juhee look 'little' more sensible.
haven't watched more than 3-4 eps of either of these shows. but given the flat comedy they had in the beginning, I'm sure they must've focused on romance coz they ran out of comic material.
