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.

You're making some pretty gross generalizations. "Westerners" are not a monolith just like no group of people on this planet is a monolith.

This was fantastic. Truly a brilliant dissection of the balance between storytelling and manipulation.

I don’t know ya’ll. I found that to be a very slow start…

It's about two deeply repressed queer men struggling with connection within deeply repressed societies. To say that unless they kiss on screen they aren't REALLY queer is gross. Sorry, it just is.

It is absolutely 100% a queer story. To say a story without kissing can’t be considered queer is childish and offensive.

… to be fair it’s a military post

This was lovely. Like others have said, the only issue is that it was too short. And the digital cat…
