This show has the most beautiful costumes I've ever seen. I think every shade of blue in the Galaxy has been represented. Genuinely extraordinary, This is not a reason, usually, to recommend a show, but this drama is in a class by itself. Also, the hairpins and crowns in this show are really magnificent, without being gaudy somehow or over the top. Everything else in the series is a delight, as well.
Opinions differ, but I would say no, unless you wait like half a year. (I'm currently only half way in, but I…
I think you're completely right.
Wait at least 6 months between versions, starting with whichever one you think you'll like LEAST. Watch each version as a standalone drama; avoid comparing them. They're different--each has its own strengths.
The Jdrama version is surprisingly good, but I loved the Kdrama version (if you ignore episodes 11-15. which were unnecessary and over the top.)
The theme is the same old one that has been shown in many shorts and vertical dramas, so it lacks freshness. However,…
Gosh, these vertical dramas. There are only a dozen plots. The characters and dialogue changes only. And what's strangest of all is that I'll start watching one, immediately identify the plot, and keep watching it anyway. We should all start a side job where we write scripts that meet the formula and then just sell them over and over again.
This is a show I want to watch a lot, and I can't because I just can't manage shows with a terminally ill main character. I know many shows like this are really beautiful. This is my loss, I'm sure.
So far this is very exciting, we have two couples with hidden identities. The enigma in disguise as an Omega to…
I started watching this and realized I was watching some characters in a "universe" I've never heard of--found out it's a whole thing, and not just made up for this drama. That's very exciting. I love discovering worlds like this, with their own characters and rules, and reading or watching stuff that conforms to the created world "omegaverse".
I thought it's a light romantic drama because of the poster I wasn't even going to watch I was wrong .. one of…
The mother's misery is like it's own character in the drama. The first episodes, she's all controlling and strictness, seeming like she's borderline abusive. But her character is the one in this show I came to love. I've never seen an actor so beautifully manifest what mental agony looks like. She's the most multi-dimensional character I've ever seen. What a performance.
Unusual Cdrama--outstanding performances, well-written script, excellent elements like lighting, sets, costuming etc. Professional production all the way. A rare instance where nearly everything is perfect and I wind up not liking the show anyway.
I am with you. The source material made this drama aka THE TYRANT’S CHEF a no go for me. I really enjoyed the…
We'll see. Nothing's aired yet. If he's as famously awful as Korean history notes, it will be interesting to see if they try to rehabilitate him, and if they do, how that's received by Korean audience,

Even if it's the funniest writer, director and producer on Earth, there is nothing they can write that produces a romantic comedy with Stalin or Hitler, not in a thousand years.
By the time this show ended I was nearly desperate for it to finish. Even skipping with gusto, this was such a chore to get through. I hated every character. I hated the hairstyling. I hated the makeup. I hated the tiresome, repetitive plot.
Show was much better than I expected. A few plot holes, but overall, very, very entertaining.
Sometimes, you feel hungry for a show that's tight, well-plotted, diverting and keeps you watching and you sample half a dozen, turned off by the first episode, or even the first ten minutes. Watch this one if you want to skip the sampling.
This is just somebody saying something on the internet. How about we get some evidence to back up on the claims…
It was their choice to work on the production AND it's credible that people were treated badly on set. Both of these things are possible. Even probable.
In the US, there are very strong, active Unions which aggressively prohibit the mistreatment of both actors (and extras) and crew. Where exceptions must exist, everyone is financially compensated. The reason I know this is because a family member is employed in the industry and is a member of IATSE.
Netflix knows better than this. It's an American company, and producing a show outside of the US should not be--and most probably IS--a reason for Netflix to permit things that would not be acceptable for a US production.
The Korean production company doesn't get a wave-off, either. If they represented to Netflix that they were treating cast and crew within Netflix's guidelines--and then didn't, that's also on Netflix. They're responsible for verifying how the production company complies. If they looked the other way--and they probably did--shame on Netflix for accepting shit from a Korean production company that would have shut down a production in the US.

Awful.

Okay. That's my piece.
Do better, Netflix.
