Yep. I dislike GL, would never read it, don't watch it (big BL fan tho), but it's insane that they took a GL property and made it non-GL.

Original fans will be pissed and, as there is no heterosexual romance for typical Kdrama fans, it won't interest them either. Seems like such a dumb decision, and a waste of a superb cast of actresses.

Hopefully, I'm wrong and it's a big success as the actresses deserve it. But it won't be something I'll be watching as GL doesn't interest me, and neither does a plot with no romance, unless it's a thriller or a crime drama.

I won't be watching it as I can't watch anything Kim Tae Ri is in, and I don't like GL. (Big BL fan, but don't enjoy GL). But... it makes no sense to me that they chose to adapt a GL webtoon but then took the GL out.
Why even bother if that's the main part of the story (don't know if it is, as I haven't read the webtoon?), as that just alienates the people who loved the original story.
IMO, it's already not going to be interesting to a big chunk of K-drama fans as there are not really any male actors in it, except older guys in supporting roles for the most part.
So why alienate another chunk of fans by removing the GL too? Crazy.

Whereas it means a huge percentage of K-drama fans will avoid it, as they only tune in for the latest drama with their favorite actor.
It's not a drama I would watch anyway though. Kim Tae Ri can't act, so hours and hours of her again after sitting through Revenant and hating every scene she's in isn't something I can stomach. Plus, dramas full of women are never anything I enjoy.
A pity as I love, love, love Ra Mi Ran, but Kim Tae Ri and a cast of women makes it a 'No' for me.

It has much lower earnings than it deserves because Pro-Hamas lunatics sharing the same 2 brain cells are downrating it simply because it's based on an Israeli drama. This is how stupid and full of hate these people are -- they will downrate a KOREAN drama, and potentially destroy KOREAN actors' careers just to "get back at Israel".

I cannot detest these people enough.

And this is how stupid the Pro-Hamas people are. It's not a remake of "Zionist" anything. It's a remake of an Israel drama, originally written by an Israeli writer, and then remade by an American company. An Israeli writer that has more brains and intelligence in their little finger than you will ever have in a lifetime. But hey, keep wasting your life spreading your vile Anti-Semitic hate. Bound to end well for you.

It's based on an Israeli drama, and the Pro-Hamas mob downrate anything that even has a teeny tiny connection to Israel. Can't fix stupid. Don't even try :)

And btw, yes, it's superb. Easily a 9 out of 10 for me.

So many people have the attention span of a fly. And if a Korean drama isn't the usual rom-com featuring the latest "idol actor" it's "boring". It's why you should never make a decision to watch a show based on what people on MDL say because, so much of the time, they are wrong.

And btw, it's excellent. Beautifully written and acted by every actor, super interesting, not remotely "slow", and the cinematography is gorgeous.

Yep. We also now have a massive illegal immigration problem (mainly with extremist uneducated Muslims and Africans that belong in the 15th century) and if our governments don't fix it, we're in serious trouble.

I'm currently in Austria, but will likely move back to Asia (spent 15 years in Thailand) if things don't improve in Europe in the next couple of years (and Austria is nowhere near as bad as places like Germany and the UK) as stabbings/rapes/murders by illegal immigrants are massively on the rise everywhere I live or travel.

Thankfully, most Asian countries will never put up with the mass immigration of people from cultures that will never assimilate into their cultures. That's why I'm considering Japan or Korea for a permanent move. Love both countries and their cultures. Happy to assimilate :)

EDIT: Just checked your bio --you're in Spain - Along with Thailand, my absolute favorite country. Freaking love the Spanish, visit at least 3 times a year -- you just need to get rid of your illegal immigrants like the rest of Europe needs to :)

Decent first episode. Not a fan of Kim Young Dae (bland looking, bland acting), but he's doing well alongside Shin Min Ah, who is always fabulous.

They have to. Like Japan (and like most of the west), Korea's birth rate is collapsing. They have to fix that problem, or eventually their economies will collapse along with their birth rates.

The west should be doing more "propaganda" towards that as well, instead of trying to persuade people men can become women and women can become men, and that a woman can have 40 abortions if she wants. Won't end well for the west. Hope it ends better for Korea.

Age means nothing. I've dated guys 12 years older than me, and one 8 years younger. Once you're in the relationship, it's just like any other. I think it's great Korea is so open-minded about this.

And yep, first episode was great. Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae have superb chemistry.

Show just gets better and better. And thrilled to see it doing so well in the ratings -- grabbed another all-time high rating last night :)

It's always going to go down when the usual suspects are only watching it because their favorite actor is in it, and so downrated it when he died. Of course, they would be uprating it like crazy if his character hadn't died :)

It's actually really good.

Finally finished this, and would put it down as one of my favorite longer dramas in a long time. Fabulously acted, costumes are gorgeous, beautiful cinematography and loved the soundtrack. Decent plot too. Will probably rewatch at some point. Extremely enjoyable.

Journalist here. 30-plus years experience covering political events all over the world.

Would guess my knowledge and actual experience is a little more reliable than the lies an actual terrorist organization that would murder you without a second thought has convinced you of. :)

Must be tough getting through life being that stupid. Bye now.

It's really well-written and, like you said, because of the fast pacing it keeps it constantly exciting. Acting is brilliant too.

Nah, I don't support fake countries that send terrorists to murder/kidnap innocent Israeli men women and children and, thus, start a war they're now crying about because they're not winning.

And loving Your Honor, and giving it a 10 out of 10.

Loving this more and more with each new episode. Brilliantly acted.

I'm old enough to be your mother, but do keep trying to stop people from expressing their opinion about the fools who come on almost every drama on MDL and downrate it 10 minutes after the first episode has begun airing because they hate the ML, or a character or word used "offends" their delicate sensibilities.

Because that's "mature" behavior, isn't it?

And btw, here's a tip that may serve you better in life. Don't be so condescending to others expressing an opinion, as you are the one who ends up looking like a fool.
