Can anyone explain to me why a capable and versatile actor shouldn't accept controversial roles?This variety could lead him to getting roles in some really good movies.I think we all knew from the begining that he's not some type of pretty boy to just play a romantic lead in cute dramas.

Oh I'm not always in for a tragic ending (depends on the drama) but after reading the synopsis I'm prepared to shed a tear or two...if I don't, I'll be disappointed tbh.

I watch it as a comedy (which I suppose it is anyway).I know this isn't the case but I like to think they did it like this on purpose,like it's so bad that it's good and I enjoy it more this way because the actors don't seem generally bad at all,espcially Tae Joon has impressed me in the past in "Exit" but they both have those unexplained lol moments.I enjoy it either way,it's my guilty pleasure.

I wasn't planning on watching this but I got intrigued since one rarely gets to see Choi Tae Joon unfortunately and well...it's funny and enjoyable I guess,I didn't get bored.I suppose I sometimes miss those good old cheesy romantic kdramas as long as they aren't super boring or too innocent.One thing I have to say though is that the quality filming wise is a bit low,even for 2018,which is not that long ago.Perhaps that's why networks weren't interested in it...this or there are going to be some not so decent scenes if you know what I mean :p

I have a feeling this will be very touching.However I wish they looked a bit more 80's like,especially the girl,I think the hair and makeup is not it (I know it doesn't matter for most of you but I like details like this,I liked what they did in Reply 1988 for example).

A)This has been such an interesting ride,truly amazing drama.Although a part of me wishes the final episode had been a bit more intense,the other is glad that the show maintained the same pace throughout the episodes because it's more enjoyable this way, without ups and downs.The rating is much lower than expected which I truly don't get.
B)The music in this is great,even the short bits between the scenes.
C)Shin Ha Kyun is one good looking man and I haven't pointed that out once so far :p.Also,needless to say that everyone's acting was so on point,even for the side characters.

aaaa I can't wait

This was my thought today!About the secret...

Ι am legit worried that something bad could happen to either of them,especially LDS since he is more of a trouble maker and he is the older character (that drama writers prefer to kill off or hurt rather than the younger ones).

I've never seen asian dramas being dubbed on Netflix or anything else really,I am Greek and they all have greek subtitles available (although I prefer english subs) or you can just turn the subs off if you know the language,are you sure you can't change the settings?

If something happens to Dongshik I'm going to kill them my self!I hope he doesn't end up being a psychopath either,you never know with the writers.

One of the very few dramas I don't skip scenes.Unless the ending somehow sucks,this is a masterpiece for me.

I don't need to research,that's the point of the comment.Because from I've seen a lot of them don't research either and appropriate or present other cultures in a wrong way like Tokkiya wrote.Some idols have done it and never apologised.I haven't seen many knetz bothering to call them out though,they only do it when their culture is the one facing issues.I've even seen many racist comments about south east Asians...The comment is not to hate on korean people,but to explain that respect and support go both ways.It doen't mean that I support China's claims,although I have to say,I still saw nothing insulting towards koreans in the drama.

It's funny how Koreans have little to no respect for other cultures,yet they are around youtube asking from foreigners not to support this drama...

Unfortunately,reshooting would cost more and most of these people will still not watch the drama because they believe the production sold themselves to the Chinese,so there will be no profit.I wish they could make a Netflix deal and shoot the rest of the drama but then Netflix would still have to deal with backlash from Korea.Producers might have to stop selling to Netflix alltogether in order not to anger Koreans and we'd lose kdrama from the platform forever.

There is no reason to support either side.I am a person who is really into fashion history and I could tell before the controversy that Ming Chinese and Joseon clothing had similarities.Accusing each other of stealing is stupid.Back then cultures would exchange ideas,that isn't stealing.Imagine the French going after the British for using Napoleonic court dresses in Regency England movies (very similar,same period yet different dress),Italians forbidding everyone to make gelato etc...China needs to stop saying that everything is stolen from them and that only their culture matters and Korea needs to accept that they were probably influenced by China since it was a huge and powerful empire back then.

I too have started to slowly lose respect for Koreans because it seems to me that there are too many extreme nationalists,racists and negative people there (from what I've see on social media,never been there) but that doesn't change the fact that korean dramas are made for Korea.Surely they are happy that foreigners watch them but Koreans are the target audience.There is no profit for sponsors outside Korea,they don't sell their products there (especially for the western world),the only profit is if they sell to Netflix but then Netflix might lose all of their korean customers.

In the EU it would be police coming to your house if you did that lol

I first saw this actor in Mr. Queen and despite his annoying character,I got interested in him (and of course he is very hansome).I actually want to watch this now that he is in,so I'll wait for the episodes.

THIS!This kind of behaviour makes me very skeptical on wether I want to continue and support their pop culture by watching their dramas on netflix or listening to their music.I understand that this doesn't express the whole of korea but apparently their numbers are large,we are not talking about a few people and in a way,I don't want to be giving attention and money to a bunch of extreme nationalists.I know it sounds stupid and unfair but that's how I feel about situations like this.
