I'm sure Chen Fang Tong loves Sweet Marriage First, Love Later scripts and so do I! I can also put it as after watching her drama 新婚慢热 with Huang Hao Wen, I became fond of such scripts. Otherwise I used to watch more of the 1970-90s dramas.
This had 2-3 more versions but I don't remember who were the leads. I think it was Wang Bo or Gao Ming Chen and someone else. MDL also haven't updated them :((
His recent drama, 小满人间 brought me to tears. One of the reason why I was hooked by vertical shorts were some of these heart-warming stories from 1980-90s. And 小满人间 takes the cake! The struggle and pain is real, the happiness and working for living is also real. There was no magical help that I otherwise expected. People were very much human -like, kind, down and out, struggling, happy, sick, worried and scared.
i dont understand why youre disappointed w signal bcs a sequel was always planned. im sad we had to wait 10 years…
I hate incomplete ends in dramas. I usually skip dramas which have unreleased season 2 or supposed to have one. Best example is Vagabond, I love the main cast, it's genre are my cup of tea but nope, I decided not to watch that.
When I started to watch signal, I had not read reviews or that it has a season 2 with no release date. If I knew, I would definitely skip that and wait to binge both together. That would have been better as. Also, what hooked me was the loop in ep1. And they brushed it off in ep 16 with 1 sentence.
Plus, I was spending my vacation by binging OCN dramas and ate up whatever they have, as many dramas as I could. So spending two days only to find it's incomplete felt disappointing while I could have watched some of their other complete and thriller dramas.
Signal was a causal watch during my OCN binge ride. Plus, the incomplete end was a mood spoiler. Moreover, I didn't feel attachment to any characters. Currently, I'm binging Taxi Driver and god, I love him so much as Kim Do Ki. He nailed the character!!! I started watching for the plot & action thriller genre but I am hooked by this man.
Right from the start I knew who is gonna be the final villain they tackle. Like it was so obvious but the process…
It's as if CEO Jang used up all his luck to find Do Ki and other 3 members and hence ended up with worst prison manager. If the manager was good, the Rainbow Delux Taxi services would never be interrupted.

Came back to this rabbit hole after 5-6 months and it's gone.
