The ending was altered because Kim Nam Gil had to report for mandatory military service immediately. The fact that he was filming was irrelevant to the military. The production had no choice but to cut the drama by three episodes...
Let's find another reason to rag on this drama....
Yes, I don't get the hate. People complain that it involves an affair, but it was clear from the trailer so why…
Most viewers regress to the mean, expecting the average and ordinary storyline. Anything outside of that formula, and they cannot process!
The strength of KDramas is in these storylines that lie on the extremes; the not so straightforward, not outrightly happy ending types.
I may have wanted a slightly different ending, but I graded the drama as objectively as I can. That's what the grading system asks for. Most here do not.
I expected a typical slice of life: the quiet vibe of Tell Me You Love Me, or the "escape to the countryside to catch your breath and recover" vibe in Meet Yourself. From the trailer I had to revise my expectations of the tone. Is it's tone appropriate for the story? โโ (โ ย โ หโ _โ หโ )โ โ
I would have liked what I expected; quiet, kinda miserable, but renews strength to fight because they moved to a different environment, not over-acted vibe... I'll have to make do with this bold, loud, fast tone. It's is not too bad.
But the shouting! Make them stop! Turn down the volume!๐ณ๐ณ๐๐
I'm still enjoying it though. The acting is great, the flaws of the drama are squarely on the writer.
This drama is simple but so good! It's the type that can easily go wrong but so far it's been well executed. (Hopefully they keep it up because those episodes are many)
Versatile means "able to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities." He certainly fulfills…
Just because he's been in different dramas doesn't mean the author should call him a versatile actor. Same blank face in every role. They absolutely misused the word. It is an exaggeration of the word, and an insult to actors who are actually versatile.
It's not a documentary, it's a fictional show and accuracy will be lost at the expense of narrative. If there…
You, brought yourself to my comment, I responded to your comment and even offered an alternative scenario that would preserve the integrity of the story, and your response is to accuse me of being triggered because I'm using caps lock on 5 words for emphasis? Do you have a response to WHAT I WROTE? Please do not reply if you don't.

It's good to read to understand, not just read to comment.
1. The character has been developed as a competent and celebrated AD, so I'm disappointed that they went down the route of having her get saved by the male lead. Ruins her characterization.
2. Accuracy isn't a trade off with the narrative. Simple option. Sheng Yang draws the pictures. When director yells cut, he runs his idea by her, she's elated, tells him to get on the podium and wave the pics, and they shoot a perfect take. This preserves the narrative they want, to create a bonding moment where they help one another out (aww) without female lead being saved, and maintains the commonsense of how sets work.
It seems that y'all commenting here are driven by a need to defend your star. Put your emotions aside and read my comment as it is, A CRITIQUE OF THE WRITING, not of your fave celeb.
Actually the plot and scene is very realistic. Beeing an award winner and making 100 projects sucessfully does…
@duminique I'm not omniscient. I actually work in film, ergo, by skill and experience, I know what I'm saying, and comment on what I know. Find another comment to make witless observations on. Your comment is not the own you think it is.
Make the female lead incompetent at a job she's even been honoured with an industry award so the male lead can "rescue" her? 2023, and we're not done with "competent women being rescued by lesser men" trope??!! What was that "waving the pictures of animals" scene even??๐๐๐๐ And then he commits the ultimate crime on a set, disrupting it, OVERRIDING the director, and I should accept that this is a positive turning point in their relationship? I'm sure you've been on sets long enough to know the director is the law, the ruler, the king, the dictator of the set, and that plot piece was ridiculous!!๐๐๐ Come on!

I expected one thing, I got another, I have found a reason to stick around...... what exactly is your issue?
It is one thing for you to have a contrary opinion to mine, it is another thing for you to think that you can invalidate my opinion.

1. You have the option of not commenting.
2. You have the option of not commenting on any of my posts.
3. You have the option of not commenting about jobs you know nothing about.
4. You have the option of not commenting about a job in which I work and have more skill and expertise than you do.
