I think everyone needs to check their math on how much of this focused on the succession story. Mostly that was used to advance the romance and create a mystery that connected the leads in their past via A GHOST.

It was fine. Ya'll are harsh, damn.

I have no problem with body swaps but are we not concerned that a brother and sister are swapping bodies like is that not a little… eww…?

I feel like people complaining about the pace haven't watched past episode 3. Did it take its time establishing the new characters? Yes. But that's why episodes 4-8 have the emotional weight and impact that they do. This was a solid second season. One the best I've seen.

Far too much of this didn't make sense. Just no consideration for logic or - like - how things work in reality. But conceptually I like the idea that "The Husband" wasn't really our ML. The villains were the most interesting aspect of this.

Except Korea is kind of known for anti-capitalist media. This tv show was the anti-Parasite. The anti-Squid Game.

I thought the first two episodes were good. I'm looking forward to this dynamic with the new FL.

Capitalist propaganda at its finest.

Interesting. I thought it was weird he even considered turning his ex-wife down. It seemed like a simple ask, especially for someone who used to be family who you parted with somewhat amicably. I thought it was weird FL was upset about it AT ALL especially because his ex is a) her friend and b) remarried.

Disagree. He first gained attention for his *fantastic* romance in Search WWW. Still one of his best romantic roles.

Love a second chance romance. Love a simultaneous past and present storyline. Love when the two timelines reflect upon each other in thematically interesting ways. I think it's the sort of storytelling kdramas do best. So I'm hyped for this. And I couldn't care less that actors over 30 are playing the teenage versions of thier characters. Like why let that bother you? Let it goooo.

I don't think it's a romcom at all. It's a very well done fish-out-of-water, small town healing romance.

AOS was the worst thing that ever happened to LJW. His "fans" can't rock with character driven dramas and that's the bulk of what he does.

I don’t really think it was. It was marketed as a surgeon in the military being sent to a small, isolated island and struggling with the setting. Fish out of water was the conflict. Not complicated or exciting medical cases.

Couldn’t disagree more. Last Summer, Dear Hong Rang, and Doctor on the Edge were all better written than AOS. People just have no patience for character driven dramas.

I think most people are misunderstanding what this show is. It’s not a medical drama, it’s not a romcom. It’s a small town healing romance and in that regard it succeeded beautifully.

this was super fun. great pace. great plotting. far better execution overall than reborn rich.

ya'll are really averse to character arcs, huh? you want everyone to start off completely perfect with nowhere to go?

they are vastly overestimating how invested i am in whether or not they can achieve a clear ice sphere ...

Pretty sure lots of people said something. In fact, anyone decent said something. Just like I am now saying something to you about you doing it.
