This drama is so good but people like bitching about the main female lead because she has bad intentions. Like,…
I agree that FL is intriguing and interesting and she will mostly likely change, which is always more fun when characters change through the drama, but what is that harm if people want to bitch about her ? :) Isn't this place meant for us to voice our thoughts? Also, you can still find her interesting and condem her actions. The two are not mutually exclusive.
After 3 episodes. The series continue to hold my attention. E3 was cool. I am really liking it. I can't say I am happy about Ina's ability though. I don't like this ability in a serious setting for dramatic, plotting and logical ( yes- even within supernatural/fantasy shows there is logic) reasons. I love it in a comedic settings (like SpyXFamily) though.
Watched the first two available episodes. I have now reached the point of saturation with superheros/superpower so even a major hit like "Moving" didn't grab my attention after 2-3 episodes because it looked more or less like an American show with Korean actors.
However, this one looks a bit different with a decent amount of unclarity, which I find a good thing. I am intriguied.
My only "negative" is the casting of the grandmother. I have seen this actress as a mother in "My Mister" and "Our Blues" and I thought she was fantastic! But, in both cases she was more like a "traditional" mother. I am finding it hard to adjust to seeing her with this phoney hair and more western clothes. I know this is on me, but I can't help it.
However, my biggest worry is that they don't wrap things up by the end seeing it only 12 episodes. I would be REALLY pissed off if this entire season end up just as a set up. I HATE HATE this model. If they do, I won't be watching more seasons even if I end up loving this one.
AND... QoT and Twinkling Watermelon really should've been nominated for AT LEAST best screenplay although i know…
Please don't misunderstand me. my comment is NOT about QoT. All I want to say is that popularity and quality are not the same thing. Sometimes a certain work has both, but not always. So, ratings shouldn't be a factor in choosing the winner.
I don't have strong opinion because I haven't watched enough 2023 shows.
I love Park Eunbin. She is in my top 5 Korean actresses, but I don't believe in the notion that an actor can make the drama. Of course actors are very important, but a great drama is a collaborative effort, and I would say the corner stone is actually the writing. All that to say, I am not that excited about this. I had enough of superheros. I understand Kdramas are relatively new to this genre, but from a selfish pov growing up on American TV, I have reached my limits with superheros. I can't take more. I find PEB shine most in character roles where there is little or no romance. Her best two roles imo were in Extraordinary Attorney Woo & Hot Stove League.
Someone told IU that pretending you're on heavy doses of Librium and never changing your expression is "acting."…
"Even a broken watch is right twice a day" :) I don't think IU is great actress (btw, I didn't know her before the series and I didn't become her fan even after it. I am just not into Kpop), but she was very good in this one. Her eyes were very expressive, and she managed to convey lots of emotions through them. I thought her monotonous expression was appropriate for her character. I would completely believe a person in her situation to be miserable all the time. LSK was the of course the better of the two, but I think she has done very well in this series.
Come back on May 8th to get an answer! P.S: Show is still in episode 4 and you are asking about cliffhanger! Uff!
Thank you for your reply. I wasn't aware that the show is still airing. I asked about cliffhangers, because this is the thing I hate most. Have a nice day.
*NO SPOILERS PLEASE* Does this have a complete arc, or does it end on a cliffhanger? As this is an American produced show, it is almost certainly end with a S2 in mind. But, does it at least wrap the main story satsfyingly? Just simple answer (yes/no) please. Thank you.
What a fantastic show. I was not prepared for how deep it really was. I'd write a review, but almost I'm almost…
This was my first Kdrama, so I will never forget it. I did enjoy it very much, and even rewatched it. It takes you through all range of emotions, and the leads chemistry is one of the best.
But, I wouldn't call it profound. It is certainly on the lighthearted side, but with some very emotional scenes.
....... I can't tell if it's a valid reason it's up to you but.... What? Bangs?
How comes you were not bothered by all these white teeth in "Kingdom"? Or are you telling me that people in the Joseon era used to brush their teeth 3 times a day and had regular dental care? :)
The wounded party sees the person that beat them up on TV, living it large. That's why it happens. School bullies…
They have no criminal records. What an agency is supposed to do? investigate every artist and send people to their hometowns tracing their steps and interviewing people they interacted with? People do shady stuff at various stages of their lives They will end up with more investigators than police departments, and they might as well start a new business. By the way, I have no opinion on the guilt or innocence of her I just don't know But, it is unrealistic to expect agencies to do a very detailed background check on their artists. All they can do is to check for criminal records and generally accessible data. P,S: I am not trying to pile on you. You are entitled to ask questions :)

I liked that joke towards the end of the episode ....
I enjoyed the leads very much, but nothing else
I can't say I am overjoyed by this runaway success, but I don't begrudge it either. I am happy for the actors, not so much for the writer.
It was fun watch tackling some serious issues. It lost some of its steam towards the end, but still enjoyable.
7.5/10

Personally, I found this particular joke distaseful.
Otherwise, it is one of my all times favourite dramas.

The show is indeed hillarious.
I always watch bits and pieces of it.
What an agency is supposed to do? investigate every artist and send people to their hometowns tracing their steps and interviewing people they interacted with?
