MMH has the best music I've heard in a kdrama.I've been looking everywhere on youtube for this and finally found…
Nah the OST is HIGHLY FORGETTABLE, maybe that's why most don't bring up the OST. π
I think only 2 of those songs are somewhat memorable, one of the reaons is one of them is in english. And even those two are quite forgettable too. The OST is mostly just in the background of the drama, I don't recall much of the OST at all lol.
Recently watched Winter Sonata, One Spring Night and Welcome To Samdalri, all 3 have HIGHLY MEMORABLE OSTs that makes one recall the drama, get immersed and chills & get flashbacks of them. Listen to those OSTs and tell me MMH's OST is still good lol. π
This is a great drama, but OST is kind of just mediocre.
I love the tone of the drama. Not just drama + comedy, but full on Melodrama + Comedy lol, episode 10 was especially hilarious yet super dramatic lol. All those Melodrama slaps too lol π€
Can someone recommend me dramas with similar Melodrama + Comedy & dark comedy esque tone?? I know there's Queen of Tears, seems similar that way, haven't started it yet. Lee Jae Wook's Search WWW actor character's drama-within-the-drama was also this way. π
ML is a single father according to the latest article here on MDL. So beside the depression, eating dirsoders and sleep disorders, I suppose they'll also show a slightly controversial romance (controversial in korean society) of FL dating the ML.
Depression, eating disorder and insomnia shown in a kdrama will be interesting. Despite the fantastical elements/superpowers, I hope they show these irl problems realistically and accurately.
i like it so far. i can't explain why but script is so 2020 kdramas' coded which i love. not to mention, all 3…
I know right. Both MLs are also of similar age like her, in their 40s, yet people won't complain about them being too old. π€¦ββοΈ
Same thing is going on in that Upcoming Spy-romance drama, where teen MDLs call ML old, where FL is literary born the same year as him. LOL π€¦ββοΈ
They are old, SO WHAT?!? SO IS THE OTHER LEAD TOO, to match their age!?!. WHAT YOU GUYS would prefer a young 20s something and huge age gap?!?
The same people who complain that one of leads are too old will also complain when there is an age gap LOL π€¦ββοΈ You cannot have it both ways π .
....How did Gen Z get more conservative and more ageist& age gaps phobic than older generation s ?!? π€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ STOP.CARING.ABOUT.AGE.
This drama with its flashback athmosphere and OST made me nostalgic for the 80s & my childhood, yet I wasn't even born yet then, and my childhood was later π
Well Done.
That Cho Jong Pil singer whose songs they made new versions of for the dramas OST is a good singer indeed. No wonder the makers of this drama are his fans and named ML after him, made OST after him and even mentioned him more than once in the drama.
Especially that "Short Hair" track has a very peculiar and memorable sound to it, gets stuck in your head. π
I know right. Guy really spent nearly 40 years in a onesided crush, and on his friend's girl too like π π …
No. The FL & ML & Their whole friendgroup gang in the smalltown of Samdalri where they all grew up together, are all like 37 years of age IN PRESENT TIME. Then it flashes back to to their childhood (mostly to their teen years so played by JCW & SHS most flashbacks).
The 2ML just like ML, liked FL SINCE EARLY CHILDHOOD into their nearly 40 years of age present time. π
So rather than jump forward, it jumps BACKWARD in time with flashbacks. I usually doΕt even like dramas with flashbacks, but here it was handled well with most flashbacks only at start of eps and in ending epilogues, and not all the time disrupting flow, like most flashback dramas do.
You're probably just too young for this drama. There comes a point in life where age gaps begins to not matter at all...Usually you realize this when older, and suddenly those of us who where hard against young man/woman, for us it begins to not look so bad after all, despite being dead set against it before, and even preferring older before. π
Iβm not worried at all that this age gap romance will have no chemistry .. because this is by director Ahn Pan…
Yes not only is he a great PDnim, but he somehow keeps casting some of my fav actors in every single drama of his lol. So I'm grateful for him for not only his great projects, but also for having such great taste in actors and always boosting my favs with his great dramas lol ππ

Also ML is a single father??
Perfect from de-stressing when irl gets annoying or to watch after just finished a very high-intensity thriller or sad melodrama with tragic ending.

GC was plagued by such boring writing, had to force myself to finish it. Won't be watching s 2.

Been stuck at only 7-8 star shows for ages!
Drama of the year so far! π₯π₯
No historical genre tag, but the ML character description "Scholar with Confusian ideas" sounds historical.....
