I was talking about TV ratings, because you mentioned that. Honestly, I liked both seasons, S1 8/10 and S2 7/10, but they could've done the whole story in 20 episodes easily. I feel like I watched 30 episodes of slice of life fantasy. Not that I mind, but in S2 I didn't feel we're going anywhere. To be fair, yes, S2 has a darker tone and I liked that more, but I loved the comedic side of S1 and the banter between the 2 main lead. The romantic chemistry was better in S2, but the overall chemistry was better in S1, and some decisions in S2 were weird.

Comparing the 2 seasons makes no sense, it's just one show. Even the cast is the same except Somin, but that was obvious from the start, but I do miss her in S2.

Don't believe what other people say, but also don't let ratings fool you, either. Season 1 was better. S2 was basically a non-stop drama about nothing.

Okay, but this time she's gonna prove she can do this role as well. I mean, being a CEO is probably one of the easiest roles. Just wear expensive clothes and act cold.😂

Never said my taste is superior. A genre can't be superior anyway, because it's about taste. Some people prefer horror, some people love typical cheesy romcoms with the prince and the princess, and some people love scifi, fantasy or badass action. Sohee did almost all of these, so you can't say she's a "Typical".

Well, I don't have a problem with strong female characters. I love that more than the typical "Please save me" princesses.

What? She did drama, action, horror, melo-drama etc.

And how many times Min Young should play the same role? I prefer actors who do different roles.

Since when a CEO has a standard "look"? 😂 I mean, there's not much difference between her or Kim Jiwon for example.

When you actually understand what I'm talking about, we can have a conversation. Till then, sweet dreams.

Couldn't care less what they're doing, that wasn't my point. Also, debunked? By whom? By his agency. It's like when two people fighting: "You did it." "No, you did it." So, nothing is debunked at all.

LOL! I actually wanted to rewatch Age of Youth again. 😅

Imagine them saying: "Okay, it's all true, now we're gonna send our actor to prison."😂

Really? So, you think Baeksang is not a cheating Award? Did you watch them in 2024? Like I said above, they gave 3 different Daesang that year in the TV Show category: 1 for a Variety "actor", Jaesuk, 1 for "Moving" and 1 for two cinematographers of a documentary!

Yes, I know, and Baeksang 2024 was even more ridiculous. You know why? Because not only Yoo Jae-suk won the Grand Prize, but the Disney show "Moving" and Kim Dong-shik, Im Wan-ho (cinematography) – "Whales and I" too, so they give 3 different Daesang that year in the same category!

It's not for the average Kdrama lovers, that I can tell. It's more like a Broadway drama than a Kdrama with masterclass acting by Taeri!

What? There's literally zero difference between actual Rookie actors and Seniors. You can see 100s of rookies and seniors every year, but you still have to pick 4 or 5. If they did a good job, you can tell, just like you can tell with senior actors. You judge their performance the same way, so it's not more difficult.

That's why they should nominate THE BEST and not the MOST POPULAR ones, btw. Who cares about budget and popularity? If an actor is good, the rest doesn't matter. The fact that Lovely Runner actors were nominated proves my point. The only reason they were nominated because that show was the most mainstream last year.

I can tell by looking at their faces they don't know why are they even nominated. No offense to them, they're not bad actors, it's just their roles were bang average at best.

To be fair, I live in delulu land where these so called prestigious awards only nominate the best, and they don't try to include mainstream in the list for more views. Sadly, that's how this industry work all-around the world.

TV Shows and Variety are not the same thing. TV shows have a strict rule to follow the script etc. Meanwhile, Variety contents are much more free. This is not about where you can watch it. It's like comparing a painting with a sketch.

Variety is more about improv and following a basic plan/script! You have much more freedom.

I get that, I'm not saying it don't deserve the Award, but Variety shows shouldn't be in the same category with actual TV Shows. Like, if they do this, they could just put everything in 1 category, movies, shows and variety.

It's still nonsense, tho. A Rookie Award should go to actual rookies who debuted that year with an important role. Main or Supporting.

Overall, I think the winners deserved the Awards. My only complaint is that IU should've won the "Best Actress" and Kin Taeri the "Grand Prize (Daesang)".

I think Variety contents should have their separate category, because it's weird to give the Grand Prize to a culinary show. Even if it's that good.
