I hope not, no way screenwriter Kim Eun Hee reuses her idea of Signal.

Didn't notice both JJH charms in their previous works but they are looking smokin in this one, becoming a fan. Good start so far and what a stellar lineup of casts. Also, am I the only one who is interested in their behind-the-scenes as well? haha

equally bad comment as OP

Yea i understand what you are saying and im definitely okay with it not being realistic since its a kdrama but the thing im talking about is that the chemistry between them seems really weak to me personally. Like what you have mentioned, everything you said makes the connection seems potent and beautiful when written out but it just doesn’t translates as well in their interactions for me. I get immersed easily and it is rare for me not to feel the connection between the leads (and i really tried), and its not like im skipping any scenes or fast-forwarding at all. I tried to vibe with their loveline but something just fall short of it. Well it is just my opinion… i guess people who vibe with their romance will probably like the show more and thats why those episodes that seemingly have no story progression doesn’t seems as dull. No hate for both of them tho, really liked Kim Yoo Jung in Love in the Moonlight and Ahn Hyo Seop in Dr Romantic 2.

Can we appreciate how fast they solve the land construction misunderstanding as well

Yea I was unclear about this as well. But I find it actually unnecessary if that was the case.

Really liked Won Tak’s acting and the wholesomeness of Moo Hak's secretary. And of course, loved the cute yet charming banter at the end of epi 10.

Thats not it… the main problem that most feel is the lack of chemistry between the leads, their romance story seems ‘beautiful’ and all on the surface but its like so shallow, there was no proper progression or depth in the romance, its all based on their childhood incident. Like after chun ki realises who is ha ram, they just “instantly” becomes deep in love with one another, sobbing for one another, its almost like paper explanation and superficial, it doesn’t hit well with many people and so the lack of connection between the leads which almost seems like they are not acting together.
Therefore, the audience naturally turns to the story which literally stagnants (epi 7-12), nothing really truly happens after the painting contest arc, it’s MOSTLY about the characters discovering the demon king (which we already knew) and talking about the demon king/painting. For binge watchers it is probably okay but for people who are catching week by week it is almost a torture if im being harsh with the weak romance and “zero” story progression.
Well episode 13-14 was a good improvement tho compared to the previous few episodes and it was entertaining at least, hopefully they will end it well.

well I get what you mean but kdrama logic so kdrama viewing lens haha

Yep im sure most of us realises this as well… but its a romcom not a crime show so don’t have to be too nitty gritty about it. Just enjoy the ride.

I’m not sure if this is a right comparison, but how does this fares/compares against My Name that was recently released as well? I am planning to watch this since the series is ending and I know that Namgoong Min is a really good actor from his shows such as Hot Stove League, Awaken and Doctor Prisoner.

Maybe start watching epi 1 first. Honestly she pulled it off well to me and I was actually surprised by how good she look in the show.

Sooooo draggy… scenes mainly consists of Chun Ki crying or painting and everyone talking about the demon king but nothing actually happening for so many episodes. Ridiculous, what a waste of talented cast.

Masterpiece. Watch it now. Just the first 5 mins of the movie and it managed to pull me into the story. Great acting, camerawork and screenplay. Literally one of the best movies I’ve seen.

yep thanks!

Just finished episode 1 and i’m loving it so far. I’m surprised by Da Li’s visual, didn’t know she was so enchanting and I’m loving her charming personality as well.
And I think I can finally distinguish between Kim Min Jae and Yeo Jin Goo now after watching this haha.

Yes thank you.

Great. Will start watching now thanks :)

Of course only i can make my own judgement. However the reason i asked is to hear YOUR opinion…

Yep not really important in the grand scheme i guess, unless Doo Shik won the money and used it to support the families of those that he “harmed?” but not really possible i guess since he mentioned that he wasn’t in town when the lottery was won (unless Gam Ri grandma won it and used it to help Doo Shik), well i’m getting too far-fetched.
