I watched ep 4 to 7. Disapointing. There is not so much kdrama parody now. I hardly smiled. Something wrong in the story too, look too much like a american sitcom. And bad idea to resume the episode before the episode. It give Spoilers.
Already, thank you for this very well written article. Although it's not the main goal, it convinced me to never watch Taiwanese dramas again. So I have to thank you, not once, but twice!
Can you all tell me why this drama is so overrated T T I REALLY WANNA KNOW
Guy, I really tried. What is the trick ? By what magic it happens ? I watched the drama but finaly drop it. ep 6. I couldn't do more, and if I tried to, you could meet me only in a psychiatric asylum. But as you see, I'm fine and post comment on MDL. ^^ Right now, I don't understand more. Real fun here. :-)
lol, several months after watching you throw shade at The King (yada, yada ).... I see the shade throwing spirit…
lol, I love you suddenly. What to do ??? Please walk down the street on a rainy day, slow motion. I would do the same, but you won't know. Put earphones on your mp3 and listen to something else. Because in the street, there are speakers screaming a drama song. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D
Don't know why you are wasting your precious time crticising a minutely perfect and fully sane drama. Lol! Let…
Ahah! No problem, I don't watch it. ;-) It was still usefull to take some notes. It's not wasted time. Far from this. It helped me a lot ! ;-) And anyway, it could be usefull too for other people who feel something is wrong but don't know what. "Hooo, the dialogues, yeah, it's why I was confused". It's a real case, someone really asked this.
If you like it, then... like it. ^^ Why my opinion and analys should bother you ?
I watched episode 1. So, almost nothing missing from season 1. Except a good line. The SFL said "we are a good team" in season 1, and here just "we are a good couple". I prefer the original line, it fit more the parody of this kind of situation.

It's great, they added also korean subtitles when people speak in english. Looking back, I don't understand why they didn't do that during season 1, it closed korean market a bit. I watched quickly too, nothing important is missing, it look like the ending is different a little. They managed to better introduce season 2 content. Overall, with season 1 + season 2 together, they managed to make a real drama. I didn't watched it yet, as I m on something else. But it should be an enjoyable watching.
As I'm agree with the message of your article, some of the dramas you take as examples are really the worst ones about laughing. On me, they make the opposite effect, boring and annoying. Forced comedy, slapstick, over-the-top. People screaming, false-crying, or suddenly react out of context, hurting my ears, eyes and intelligence. Atrocious. Nightmare. Ulcer. Even when I was child, this couldn't make me laugh.
So here, it's not medecine, it's more like a disease.
For a good laugh, I need situational comedy, parody, tasty dialogs, or smart character design. Let's take as examples : first episodes of "I'm not a robot", first meeting scene of "Crash landing on you". Or the whole drama "Psychopath diary", or "Feel good to die". It's go well with "Incarnation of money" too, as dark comedy and derision. Or many others dramas that make laugh with the story and the personnality of the character. "Empress Ki", first episodes with the coward ML.

I've not watched yet. But if episode 1-3 are season 1 re-edited, we shouldn't loose content ? Season 1 was 10 episodes with 10-15 min duration. So, it should be well edited in 3x45 min episodes ?
I didn't watched all the dramas. Sure thing, n°1 : The Penthouse ! My 3 words about that : Makjang on steroids. A masterpiece, if you know it's also sometimes a parody of Makjangs, full of dark-comedy.
Then Sisyphus. Mr Queen was funny, during 2/3 of the show. LUCA quite intense at start and last episodes. Cheat On Me, If You Can was watchable but not a favorite.
Finaly I dropped at the end of episode 4... It's more a slow drama with long romance scenes. Many voice-over with the same pop music. I don't understand because the drama set-up the emotion quite fast and good, but then insist loudly, with repetitive scenes. Finaly, the emotion we got is canceled because these loud, boring fillers like. And about SF or fantasy, it didn't create thrills or goosepump. Overall, it look like a sitcom from 90's.
Can't get past the second episode even after I came back three times- don't understand where the plot is going.…
I reached episode 6. So difficult it was. And it's even more boring than first 2 episodes. You don't understand where the plot is going because there is no plot. Boring scenes, followed by a flashback festival of the previous boring scene. Forced, dull , and not funny comedy. Cheesy and useless stuff. It's a big nothing.
End of episode 2. Some bad reviews say "confusing, too fast". I would like so much to watch this so called confusing and fast-paced SF plot. But now, after 2h30 of content, almost NOTHING happened !! IT'S-JUST-DAMN-BORING. Maybe I was just on a highway, watching kairos ? So, after that, it's difficult to get around by bike?

Something wrong in the story too, look too much like a american sitcom.
And bad idea to resume the episode before the episode. It give Spoilers.
Anyway, I can watch almost any random drama of this actress, like a fanboy.
Although it's not the main goal, it convinced me to never watch Taiwanese dramas again.

It deserve at least 2/10 !
Don't be so hard.

But about writers, even best : Empress Ki and Giant writers !!!
So big actors in the cast.
