It was a turd. One of the worst I've seen. He was in no position to bail, so he buckled down and honoured his contract - no actor could have saved it... but saying that, actors with healthier star power wouldn't have accepted in the first place, I'm pretty sure the red flags were all over it. This KBS weekender could be just what he's looking for.

I'm a fan of his, even though it's a marathon I'll give it a try. The synopsis "the conflict and affection between family members in our modern society" is standard for the KBS weekend drama. But every so often they produce a real gem.

Let's see, I heard about this a while ago and thought it sounded tired and awkward - but quite often when I expect nothing a fantastic drama shows up. Like you say, she's great, I've started to feel like watching it.

Looks really funny, feels like a surprise hit is in the making.

That's a paradox right there, Al. You read the article and comments and even replied to one. Bet you can't explain why without making it your business.

Dearest LA, can I just say that drama ratings for Saturday are compared to the previous Saturday and Sunday to the previous Sunday. That's how to measure the trend. You can't compare Saturday to the previous Sunday, because Sunday gathers a larger live audience.
There's a rise, not a drop.

That's so funny. Why did they even bother to respond to the rumour? All publicity is good publicity, whatever he's getting he's worth every Won. And So is Ji-won... worth every Won 😆. They're both absolutely incredible, that scene at the start of e5 or 6 where she forced herself to explain why she got lost, a little humiliated to reveal her weakness, top quality. Is he Park Ji-eun's man? Quite a history, I'm always curious how such prominent friendships arise - he's definitely in her wavelength in understanding his character, as he was in the previous two works. Every actor would kill (or start rumours) to be in his shoes? But no, seriously, it looks like a story used as a pretext to humbly bring up the real story about under-charging.

Great, nice selection for the leads, go for it Han-na + kyung-pyo, this has loads of potential!

Finally got round to watching and decided to drop. The ML and FL aren't ML and FL material, for me. I need at least one to be imposing. Writing was good. Whoever was in charge of casting must have had some issues - why did Choi Soo-young's brother bear all the same physical characteristics as the ML?

I don't think I've seen Kim Sang-ho playing a cop before 🤭 Hwaiting. Looks like jtbc going back to its forte, classy drama. Good cast, story seems plain from the synopsis but will probably be more interesting than it sounds. I haven't watched the BBC version, naturally.

Looks interesting, super cast (no pun intended 😉). They all have the super power of being gorgeous. Go K-drama!

Disney has become a Netflix knock off 😆

Look at it clinging on for dear life by its fingertips, to the window ledge of the Asia Pacific entertainment arts, one of the last areas on earth where the brand name still carries some respect.

I'd like to see Disney collapse. It's become synonymous with trash.

I don't think they ever filmed the scenes with Tang Wei and Gong Yoo. Maybe waiting for funding confirmation from Netflix. So it looks like the film was incomplete and distribution/funding wasn't finalised in order to finish it. My guess.

Thanks, but the question was why. I doubt it's about nationality, more about specifics related to news stories, the topic could be off, an artist might be off, the licence holder could have breached some terms or tried to renogitiate the fee or missed an installment, a plagiarism case, that type of thing. Not because an actor is Chinese.

Another great GG, Kwon Yu-ri?
The other Oh Hae-young, Jeon Hye-bin?
The exquisite Son Na-eun?

p.s. what K-pop did Moon Ga-young do?

Why would a Chinese cast be a problem?

Another 85 minutes of pure joy. I need to recalibrate my ratings for the past few years, none of my 10s were as good as this.

This is 2024. Bo-hyun is wearing ladies' face, Ji-hyun looks pretty natural. Has he had that lip colour tattooed on or something?

Talk about missing the point, bless
