Hwaiting. There's a gold mine of Korean movies and dramas on the various platforms, more stuff than we'll ever get time to watch. Just pick something you haven't seen while you're waiting. It sure takes your mind off it, sometimes I get obsessed with an old drama and by the time I'm done there are plenty of episodes of new dramas to catch up on.

He might suffer from over exposure if he carries on at this pace! So far he hasn't been in anything I've liked, but this one's a proper Jtbc drama and he's doing well so far.

I loved how she blushes, it was enormously cute and happens to all of us, at least sometimes!! Haven't seen any comments hating on it. If there are, I must have blocked those users (trolls) or their comments have been outnumbered already.

It was a little strange, I thought he really was a grim reaper, rolled my eyes and thought 'here we go again', leaving her on the floor was too much... but she uttered a funny line just to let us know they know what we're all thinking... nice touch.

I have the same unconscious bias, if something's from abroad it's more authentic than something local! So many nice touches to it. Tapping her shoe like Gil Ra-im made me smile.

A promising start, I can't help but like Jo Bo-ah, she's pretty and quirky, she grew more into her character as it went on - although I couldn't feel it right at the beginning. One thing bugged me, and it reminded me of Abyss a little bit - when the protagonist receives a magical gift and doesn't treat it with the respect it deserves - it's just unnatural and undermined the sensitive and diligent character we'd thus far met. She flicked through the pages of that ancient book as if it was a cheap comic - our natural instinct when we see something old is to treat it delicately, with respect. I thought it a little inconsistent, probably in the stage notes.

Rowoon again? He's either the most desired actor in Korea or his agent is very persuasive... you know, with the help of compromising photos of PDs

Deservedness is relative, the score is absolute. Anything exceptional won't be to the taste of everyone. The score is a credit to the drama, a reflection that it's extraordinary, it contains polarising topics after all.

I just noticed the screenwriter/director did Beasts Clawing at Straws, that was also a good film with good characters

Not there because it isn't, is it? Even if it was, why does it need a classification, as if it matters?

Me too - Netflix seems obsessed with portrayals of fictional actors, celebrities, YouTubers and so on, which is a bit self absorbed and badly done....

This drama is sort of on those lines, but this time it's good, well written and acted, and absolutely fascinating.

It was fascinating, I was entranced by it, completely mesmerised - especially by the OL mask girl... but it touches on the grotesque. It takes a nasty swipe at things behind the metaphoric masks we see every day... is K-pop demonic? How many real-life idols were the inspiration behind the abominable 'idol' lookalike? The hypocrisy of religion. Mothers. Corruption. Just daring to touch these subjects in earnest can get it down-voted imo.

Edited, even by my standards, careless wording.

I'd like to congratulate Netflix on this one, it was pretty interesting all the way through, lots of messages along the way. I'd have liked to see more of the original mask girl, I liked her a lot and saw her core in all her incarnations, well played to all 4 actresses (including the little one!) to get her character on point. But one thing stood out, not drama-wise but perhaps a breakthrough in presentation - we got very close to the dreaded 6-episode unfinished, half-story that we all drop... but then they cranked it up to 7 and actually finished it!! Brilliant, is Netflix listening to us? Kudos. Very entertaining and out there.

Edit: Oh, one more thing to credit Netflix for... no unnecessary nudity

Who's going to play the sword fighting girl in the bikini? Nobody does dystopian manga like Japan.

Behind Your Touch reached 7% on Sunday. I don't get it, but there it is.

It's true, but who said she was a sidekick, nobody here I think?

Agree, the face mask helped him

Thankfully? Millions of people thought the same as you right from the beginning. Remember, if you form an opinion, any opinion, you're not alone, a ton of others did the same. None of us are special in noticing if a drama's good. Nothing deserves any more than it gets. Hype. Ratings. Whatever. All you're doing is trying to point out that you liked it from the start. Congratulations 👏

It's not America. America has gone so far up its virtue signalling arse it sees fault in everything that's normal in the world. Snap out of it.

South Korea has its own rating system. It's different to the west because the west is decadent. What you consider to be a 12 is because you (and me, I'm not preaching) live in a decadent society.
