this is a HUGE spoiler, delete or put a spoiler in it

I'm not against plastic surgery and Botox, but Kwon Yool's face looks half-paralyzed. He always has the same expressions because of the Botox. The difference is stark, not to mention Ji Sung, who is an extraordinary actor, but even compared to others in terms of facial expressions. It really bothers me.

It's frustrating to see how on MDL, people only seem to give high ratings to mainstream dramas featuring good-looking actors who strip down and offer plenty of fanservice. There are so many great shows out there that deserve recognition, but they get overlooked just because they don't fit this shallow mold.

they are teasing us like in queen of tears, it's gonna be 100% a happy ending.
if not, it would be interesting to see how they will manage 2 episodes..

ep. 4-5 were so boring... I hope ep. 6 gets better

IU and Suzy have improved significantly over the years, but people like Eunwoo and Ronwoo haven't, especially Eunwoo, who has been around for so long.

I’m not new to the world of K-dramas, so I’m well aware that this has always been a trend. For example, in *You're Beautiful*, we had actors who were also singers, among many others. Those you mentioned started with *Dream High*, which, to be honest, was a drama for teenagers and not at the level of something like *Secret Garden*. So, this is not about the history of idols acting; it’s about casting them in popular K-dramas when they have little acting experience and don't convey much emotion.

that's the point, he look like half paralyzed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

if it's not a romance with a man half naked after the shower... they will rate it 4

I don't know, and I realize it shouldn't concern me, but his face looks strange and deformed. It seems half-paralyzed, which is odd. Who knows what's going on...

I agree with you, Viki has gotten worse in my opinion. Their process is so slow compared to giants like Disney+ or Netflix, which release episodes already subbed.

you actually might be right, it might be a plot twist but how come the police officer delete the videos, it’s strange

I just wanted to comment that I’m starting it, and I’ll reach episode 9 in two days. I’d like to share my thoughts since I have the opportunity. You all, on the other hand, should use spoiler tags since they were created for this exact reason!!!

Going from not writing a single article about *Lovely Runner* to publishing 28,438,692,83 in just five days, all while using images that are major spoilers for those who are just starting the series... It's really tough to be on MDL if you're watching a drama that isn't currently airing.

it's really disrespectful not to use spoiler tags when discussing recent episodes. I'm only on the second episode and I've already figured out where the story is going. You’re ruining the experience and making me lose interest in watching the drama!

Guys, quick question – maybe it's just me, but I find the actor who plays Prosecutor Tae Jin quite annoying. I can't tell if it's because of the Botox he has on his face, but it really looks paralyzed. I feel like his surgical tweaks have ruined his appearance a bit because every time I see him, he looks deformed, and his expressions are very mediocre.

The same hype surrounded Eunwoo, and in my opinion, he's not a great actor either. However, he's objectively handsome and attracts an audience to the productions. To be fair, after many projects, there has been some improvement, but there are so many talented Korean actors out there. Why continue to focus on idols?

(I guess at this point, it's likely that music agencies pay well or that idols cost less compared to actors.)

I think some directors focus on the looks or popularity of certain actors. However, the best dramas released this year, like *Queen of Tears*, *Chief Detective*, *Lovely Runner*, and many others, featured a cast of only actors and no idols. I want to emphasize that I have nothing against idols since I love IU and D.O. as actors. But when someone can't act, it's pointless to keep giving them roles.

For the sake of my mental health, I won't dwell on who is the culprit

I believe the actress deserves more recognition than she has received. Among the three actors Byeon Woo Seok, Lee Jae Wook, and Rowoon, it's Rowoon who should focus on improving his acting skills. Interestingly, Rowoon started as an idol before transitioning to acting. I have nothing against idols pursuing acting, as I admire IU as an actress, but some idols should reconsider taking on acting projects because they often don't bring much to the table. Woo Seok, on the other hand, showcased his talent in "Lovely Runner" and truly deserves the success he's experiencing.
