Is that KDW and JJH with the male lead actor of Covert Affairs in the photo....I wonder if he'll have a cameo role, or where they just meeting him because he also played a spy or just meet for fun?
..... ..... ..... He's not even that good looking for anyone to get outraged over him being not average enough looking as the character, he literary IS average looking imo LOL, Korean beuaty standards are silly. 😅😅
In western world, noone would look twice at this guy passing in the street (if he wasn't famous), many men are more handsome 😅😂
It's really not if you have the proper expectations on the genre. This is first and foremost a family melodrama.
It's BECAUSE it's a melodrama that the rating is so low.
I notice you need to always add a 1,5-2 stars to rating for MELODRAMA GENRE Dramas here for more accurate ratings.
Classic melodramas scoring only 7-8.0 max on thsi site is outrageous lol Lee Dong Wook's La Dolce Vita deserves better rating too.
Recent Melo examples for Eagle Brothers deserves a 9, same for The Trunk, and not a 7. something. Daily dramas and weekenders (aka. the 50 ep kdramas and the 100 ep daily kdramas which tends to be Family Melodramas always scoring a 7 MAX lol)
90% Melodramas on this site have such unreliable rating, that you have to be be HUGELY SCEPTICAL of Ratings in this Genre, I mean even classic well-written melos, some of which even where Breakthrough Projects for many Stars back in 00s and 10s, getting 6.-7 max 8 now by kids hating melo LMAO
.....So 7.2 for this drama?? Applying the 1,5-2 + points rule: Fine, true rating is then likely 8.7-9.2 😂
3 Female leads + 1 male lead in romance with FL. Sismance and Difficult Adulthood theme, but make it Romcom plot too.
This has simialr character dynamics to the drama Sorry Not Sorry, and Difficult Adulthood and Household debt theme, which I'm currently watching. The difference is characters' jobs and casting.
Not necessarily a bad thing, I'm enjoying Sorry Not Sorry. This is slightly more dramatic I guess, with not just lead FL's finances in trouble, but multiple people having money difficulties.
Globally the economy stinks and lot of people more struggling than before, it not surprising more than one drama with this theme is now being made.
I sincerely hope I'm wrong but I literally smell a fucking flop here. On the other hand there's literally one…
imo koreans can't do the action genre. It's the one genre they consistently use trash to mediocre writing in and focus too much on just special fx and casting. 😅😅
Now Ep5 the whole ep is 10/10 wow so many interesting things happening! That's one of the most Solid SINGULAR EP's I've ever watched. Well done writing team.
ALL characters where in an entirely different place from before ep 5 started compared to when ep 5 ended! So much development. But also no rush, it all came together so naturally, it was like a perfectly crafted symphony, where it felt like it had been many months since before and after ep5, despite not much actual time passing.
This has been my stance regarding MDL & also things like Goodreads for awhile. If they hate it, I'll probably…
For real, I have that same problem with GoodReads too. Any good books reccs from GoodReads that are hated on there?
Personally I find Vera Nazarian's The Atlantis Grail series really good and underrated as ***. It's like a better way more exciting version of all those popular overhyped Dystopian series, with a Competing to go on a space adventure with aliens angle, rather than just stay on earth like the rest. Far bigger stakes and potential at play.
For Jeon Yeo Been, I'm in 🫡 also does anyone know if this actually has terminal illness in it? "Limited time"…
So I went and checked Korean Sources to confirm.
Turns out ML is a Strawberry Farmer and NOT the Terminally ill CEO who does a 3 month Relationship Contract with FL. FL & ML meet through her being his child's (fake) kindergarten teacher, after FL made the contract with the OTHER dying guy.
MDL reported it all wrong!!!
So we are thankfully spared from Leads with Terminal Illness. The terminally ill CEO is a plot device side character to get FL in a Money Deal and people scheming to get the money from her&harm her.
This is not a Melo-romance ,but an ActionRom.
Only guaranteed sad ending for the dying CEO, poor man, but leads seems to get a happier, more actionpacked story.
Also,
I hope they balance the romance well with rest of plot, give enough romance and not barely there, but also keep the action on the front too.
Like Healer and Vincenzo did a good job balancing both sides.
a) Watching the dramas in the Recommendations Section

b)

Milennials are the last generation of Korean men being Manly 😅
Compare the likes of Kim Nam Gil, Go Soo, So ji Sub Gen X,
or even Milennial K actors still masculine like Choi Jin Hyuk, Ji Chang Wook, Kim Jae Wook, Yoon Do Yoon, Jung Hae In...
...then Gen Z they totally lost their attractiveness because they took the korean gentleness TOO FAR!! 😅😅

I'll be very surpised if this is good.

I hope this talented young man gets lead roles soon.
Also happy reading of The Atlantis Grail.

Later also runs into an ex-boyfriend lol.
FL: WHY ARE THEY ALL IN CHEUNPO?!?
Good F***n Question lol, how is she managing to run into multiple people from her past lol
