Cider Melon

work later drink now, hello my twenties.

probably the second drama where there a lot of 10/10 reviews and yet under 8 rating.

Korea is a misogynistic Country with heavy double standards. for the record men out there get away with whatever they want but women get bashed and chewed on for silly things.

lol,the rating went down seems like disappointment got to them.

No maybe more like "why her?" who is portrayed as a manipulative and ruthless individual who abuses his position to control others.

Even I myself don't understand some users wanting a Romance or homoerotic subtexts where it doesn't fits or deemed to be necessary for the story. sure, whatever hyeri doing here is psychological manipulation getting close to her to exploit her feelings to control having her around, idk how heavy themes sorrounding psychology gets blurred by other subtle themes it's utterly horrendous.

Since it doesn't Focuses on romance it's not tagged with "lesbian romance" or "lesbian main character" instead it's tagged with "LTGBTQ+" since it explores subtle LGBTQ+ themes in a psychological thriller drama.

probably First ever drama to have only Male characters right from main role to guest roles ?(excluding the pedestrians and bystanders).

First time? modern cdramas Highly likely has spineless ML either suffering from love triangle/ unrequited love or a ML simps on FL who is totally uninterested in him.

This is just the beginning Lol, you'll even come across users wanting a BL romantic subplot when they see two guys having good bromance/ friendship.

when was the last time SBS released a special?

Channel A #TheWitch director spoils that #JuJihoon and #JinSunkyu are among those who will be making cameo appearance in the drama with Jin having a very important role. The #KangFull webtoon-based drama will premiere on 15 February

so basically this drama is like "more than friends kdrama" just reverse the gender?

This is getting more like Kristen Stewart's love lies bleeding.

it isn't that bad as jung hae in playing a high schooler.

Not really, another KBS sitcom will replace time slot of this drama when it ends.

not really I said it in pov of ML's revenge, the FL can be stepping stone for his revenge or both can help each other. that's why used the example of itaewon class not the love traingle part.

SBS promoted it well enough, about the international platform disney+ doesn't make it available on European countries so it has to be available on Hulu to reach European countries as well.
