Thank you for the list! I added Lie of a Lie, Dinner Mate, Sweet Munchies (doubt this will still be named like this when it airs, though), My Unfamiliar Family, Did We Love?, Flower of Evil, Stranger 2 and Love Alarm 2 to my PTW list.
So glad to be looking forward to some dramas again.
A superb drama, featuring an incredible performance from Yoo Ah In. The subject matter is mature, and the age gap between the two leads (not to mention the power differential between them) makes this a bit difficult to swallow, and probably explains the inaccurate underrating. A powerful drama you'll keep thinking about after you finish it.
So glad there will be a second season of this drama. And disappointed that Netflix splits a great show into parts with huge gaps between them. (Sure, parts. Fine. But parts with a year between seasons?)
I didn’t expect to like this show so much. It’s like the Downtown Abbey of Beijing opera.
This is a description that makes me want to watch the drama. I really, really hope it's like that, and if it is, thank you so much for putting it that way.

The FL lead is a wonderful character. The ML, as dramatized by Joo Ji Hoon, is his usual pinched, tight character, but it works very well as a contrast for the FL here.
But should we talk for a second about the PPL? Because the PPL in this drama was off the chain. If there was a moment where a Mercedes Benz and all its gauges wasn't being filmed from every imaginable angle, it's only because the creative director didn't think of it. Every episode is an extended commercial for Mercedes. And don't get me started on the ads for Aunt Anne's pretzels.
We're all used to the high end chaebols and chaebollettes who stop in at a Subway in the middle of a crisis for an essential sandwich break, but the ads in this drama were on an entirely different level.
Kdramas taught me that, if I'm standing in the middle of the road with a car coming at me, even though I have lots and lots of time to get out of its way, it can hit me and I'll be fine.
This might be the most intense, mature, and exciting Kdrama I've ever seen. Excellent drama to watch as it airs.…
Sun Woo's friend, Myung Sook (the "double spy") is a ghoul. Or a vampire. I can't decide which. If you thrive on other people's misery, you should just exit the planet.
This might be the most intense, mature, and exciting Kdrama I've ever seen. Excellent drama to watch as it airs. You need a week between episodes so that you don't throw your electronics out the window. I despise every character in the drama so far (except the kids), which makes it nearly perfect.
Finally an official place to talk about bad styling. The worst dressed for me was the FL in the Cdrama, "Face Off". (Sorry. I know we're talking about Kdramas now, but I can't help myself.) They styled her like she was 12, and stuck pompoms on all her garments. It was ridiculous.
Runner-up for worst styling was the FL in "Go Go Squid" (Yes, another Cdrama. Sorry. I'm terrible at following directions,) Her outfits were oversized, shapeless, frumpy and pointless.
There were at least 3 costumes in "Goong" that were fabulous, but most of her outfits were utterly silly.
Now I remember why I don't like thai lakorns that revolve around cheating. #1 cause of high blood pressure, lol.…
I couldn't agree more.
When the ML is a cheating bastard, that's fine. But if the FL even has lunch with another male, holy fuckballs, the sky is falling. I hate the double standards in lakorns more than any other trope in their dramas, and that's saying something.
So fed up with psychopath/serial killer/super-duper detective plots. But it's Lee Joon Gi playing a scary villain, so I have no choice but to watch it. (I hope he's put on a little weight, though. Sorry, that was a dispatch from the small mind department.)
Back when it had the other synopsis, I was really looking forward to seeing this Cdrama (not that I really believed it would get aired.)
This next, newest synopsis makes the drama sound like every other Cdrama ever produced, Maybe the first synopsis was wrong. Maybe the producers have had to slice and dice the film they've already got, just to get it on the air and get some of their money back. Which I completely understand.
But it's the OTHER damn drama I waited for, not this blah, tropey thing.
So glad to be looking forward to some dramas again.
Oh so boring. watched it to episode 30 and then I couldn't take it anymore. Skipped to the last episode, and it was still boring.
Better than most, this is still another cookie-cutter Chinese youth drama with mild nationalistic overtones. If you've seen one, you've seen them all.
