Lee Byung Hun is an excellent writer but his script requires his actors to be incredibly dynamic (for e.g Chun Woo Hee in Be Melodramatic, Ryu Seung Ryeon in Extreme Job etc.). Cha Eun Woo from the dramas I've seen so far is nowhere near that level and he is rather wooden, so IDK about this. There are actors his age who could do a better job at this role.
People really find IOTNBO toxic? I thought people loved this drama.
People liked the drama because of its toxicity, because let's face it people are into toxicity otherwise Penthouse wouldn't be raking in #1 viewership.
So much toxicity. I CAN'T CHOOSE! More shows I'd add:
Addicted , another BL. In fact the ML of this is possibly the most toxic BL ML I've ever seen.
Secret (the one with Jisung and Hwang Jung Eum). This drama's soooo excessively toxic ohmagad. There's a Thai drama with the same premise (Kleeun Cheewit), which is also sooooooooooo toxic oh lord. Seriously if Lakorns are counted, they'd fill this whole list up.
HIStory Obsessed. The name itself should explain how toxic this BL is.
The twin sister ruined the drama for me. Till she came back, it was a very good drama but after she came back I just couldn't feel motivated to watch more than once every few days. She was such a despicable character and Xiao Mu's a spineless idiot for doing nothing do defend herself. Ruined the whole drama for me.
I don’t need this to be some creme de la creme of romance. Just decently written, good character development…
I don't need this to have a super grand romance, just give me a well written slice of life with lovable characters and a very well developed simple romance story.
Romance in Kdramas haven't been bad for the past decade, the POPULAR romance Kdramas have been bad. I'd highly recommend watching lesser known shows like Into the Ring, Just Between Lovers, etc. for really well written, healthy romance stories.
You are just counting 120 Eposide . If you need motivation If you ever watch Cdrama it will be excatly count as…
Yeah, I'm watching this now since it's just 15m per episode. Enjoying it so far. Cute little series, I really like the female lead and Kentaro's character.
Almost all my faves OSTs are ballads, I'm not a fan of uptempo OSTs personally unless it's from a more over the top show (for e.g Shampoo song from Be Melodramatic). I really love OSTs from dramas like Just Between Lovers, Hotel Del Luna (sans the RV song), etc.
Ooh other standouts are OSTs from 2000s. Like the Boys Over Flowers OST, the Jattanpung song from the movie the Classic, etc.
