Oh 100% agreed. Like that change really disappointed me because in Middleman's Love, that was the MAIN scene that acted as a catalyst for the car confession scene. I was so disappointed to see it :(

That's really sad. I was hoping it was a translation issue :c Hopefully they'll start educating people on the diff between the two.

I also finished the book. I like that they changed King's character in the show tbh the book King was rather very insensitive and annoying tbh

Many of his films (and almost all of his recent ones) have been produced under the Red Chillies Entertianment banner, a production house owned by him and his wife. He has full casting input. He's not "simply taking on roles", he's putting himself in these movies himself.

Same story with Salman. Almost all of his films in recent times have been produced by SKF (Salman Khan Films, a production house he owns).

Finished the book. Loved it, both Mai and Jade are really likeable characters. I liked Jade's internal monologues a lot because unlike many romance novel protags it wasn't annoying. I wish they had adapted this first because it was a much better book and the book timeline seems to have this first as well.

Also I'll say this, after finishing the book. I 100% am on board with the recasting for Mai's character because honestly I think Tutor's personality and looks suits Mai much much more (except for the height ofc). Although I do think Zon would've played Jade with much more conviction than Yim ngl because Jade just has this vibe to him where it feels he's completely oblivious to everything except his internal debates and that suits Zon a lot.

My only problem with the book was the author called "sexual orientation"/sexuality as "Gender identity". Maybe it was a translation problem? I hope it is because otherwise it'd only mean the author wrote a book about gay characters without knowing the difference between those two. Also the usage of "wifey" trope, although it was only used like twice so it wasn't a big bother.

It was the last good KBS weekend drama. It was well written, acting and produced. Since then it's been going downhill hard.

It's not even a bit spicy. The only 18+ scene comes near the end in a Special chapter.

Song Hye Kyo and Jung Sung Il have excellent chemistry. He should've been the ML (like they should've focused the show around him and Song Hye Kyo's character as leads) tbh

KBS weekend dramas have been going downhill for ages now (since Once Again). Hopefully this drama redeems it.

One of his best selling points is his voice. It's one of the most unique Kdrama voices around. It's just so distinct.

I wanna see them all together in one drama. Like a slice of life that follows 3 men (a la Be Melodramatic but with male leads).

I wish KJH got lead roles. He's so charismatic. He can lead dramas himself.

Chae Jong Yeop is a really charismatic actor.

Remind me where I called SRK a bad actor. Well I can because these actors produce a LOT of their movies as well so they have casting input.

I've been waiting for this for ages now. Gimme already, I'm swooning over Man!

My husband Park Sung Hoon and my wife Choi Sooyoung in one drama? Oh the struggle!

Need him and Nana in another drama again.

My husband Park Sung Hoon <3 Pls let this be true.

They look and act more like siblings to me esp because of their roles in the Heirs. I hope they're not paired romantically in the drama.

Ah nice, I didn't know thy were translated. I'm excited to read Middleman's Love. I wonder if they were available on Kindle as well (it's a better option for me).
