Random Series

Episode 3

I watched first 2 episodes, and I really enjoyed them.
The premise is very relatable. Don't we all want to have another go at our life and fix at least the big mistakes we have done?
I am well aware that the story has been done many, many times in all kind of languages, but I think originality is only part of any work, and maybe not even that important.
The execution of the premise is what matters most (Of course an original idea done well is something super, but honestly, how many are there? almost the entire world series are just different adaptations of the same ideas). How you tell your story, how the actors are doing, etc etc.

So far I am liking all leads including the secondary actors who are playing very annoying characters and I want to slap them hundred times almost in every scene lol. But, that is a sign they are doing their job well.
I am a man, but the guy from Mr. Queen looks good in glasses. I am envious lol. Maybe if they had glasses in Joseon era he would have won the Queen lol.
This is the first time I am seeing the FL, although I have seen her on the posters of many other dramas. I like her so far. I think she is believable as a put on, suffering in silence person.

I thought she was very good. Her eyes are very expressive.
Btw..when I watched the series I didn't know that she was famous, so I had no bias (positive or negative). I am not into modern music.

It is hard to tell. The comments are clearly directed towards Korea, or Korean society without any distinction (not all of them of course but there are tons, that is why I said some).
Loving the cultural output of a certain group, race, or country doesn't automatically mean loving those who produce it.
In the West, where I live, it is very common for people to cheer black athlets, love black singers and actors, but at the same time seeing Black people in a very negative and condescending way.
Btw..I do believe there is a serious problem, but one has to be a little bit more respectful when telling other countries how to solve their problems, especially when nobody asked you (I mean the generic you, not you personally :) ).

A gentle word to some of my fellow International fans.
Please don't let your sadness about this news cloud your judgment in making such a sweeping statement about an entire country and describing it in horrible ways.
Many of you you are calling for understanding, but condeming an entire country in the same paragraph. Don't you find this ironic?
I am also very, very sad. he was my favourite Korean male actor, and My Mister is my favourite drama in any language. And, yes, there is a problem need to be addressed, but there is no need to use abusive language towards an entire country.
We all come from countries where our society has done some horrible stuff to its members.

S2 in 2025. And if you have S2, then you might get S3.
Good for anyone who like this format, but I absolutely hate it.
The single most attractive thing about Kdrama is the one season format.
I will stick to these series.

I hear a second season (Season, not part) is already being filmed, and might come out in 2025.
This news made up my mind for me. I am not going to watch something where I know that I have to wait at least to 2025, maybe more, to get an answer.

I beg to differ.
Despite the fact that Shin Hye Sun is a better actress than Shin Min A (also she is probably my favourite Korean actress), I liked HTCCC WAY (after 4 episodes at least)more. In my opinion litreally everything was done better there.
I am not saying this drama is bad, but so far IMO it just little bit above average.

Personally, I find it good when it is serious and actors have to deliver some proper dialogues.
However, there is a lot of humour and attempt to be funny as well, and here is up to taste. I find at least 70% (maybe even 80%) of it as cringe and silly. To me, there was only one genuinely funny scene. But, please know that I am a middle aged person, so the humour might be more appealing to younger population.
The biggest draw of the darma though is Shin Hye Sun. She is excellent.
After 4 episodes, I am still on the fence. It will largely depends on the balance between drama and "humour".

After 4 episodes I find myself in that uncomfortable spot where I am in the middle.
It is not hooking me. The humour veers towards silly/cringe instead of clever most of the time.
I enjoy the series only when characters start talking seriously and/or properly.
I love Shin Hye Sun, but I need more.
I will give it another week and re-asses.

Unlikely tbh. That is 51 episodes! Way too long.

Ok thanks.. But, I liked him there.
I also liked that drama.

Thanks for recommendation.
By the way, I watched Beyond Evil because lots of people recommend it for me and I didn't find it that good (decent though). I mean I finished it, and liked its first half, but felt the entire second half could have been done in maybe 2 episodes.
Is Worst of Evil similar?

I am genuinely curious.
For us as viewers. Why ratings are important? I understand they are important for the crew.
Are there reasons beyond wishing more success for something you like?
I looked at Netflix World Top 10 before replying. My Demon, Sweet Home & this one are all there.
3 Korean Dramas. More than any other country. I would say that is very impressive. So, this drama is doing well wordlwide. Just not in the West.

Generally speaking. Straight up dramas about life without any superheros/supernaturals, or thrillers, or murders/revenge are not that popular in the West. But, the world in general (Asia, Africa, and South America) have broadly similar family structures, relationships, and values.

So the ML is the same from The Sound of Magic.
I must say based on 3 episodes, I like him WAY more in TSoM. He is very generic here so far.

The last scene was so amazing!
I have seen tons of Film Noir. That one is cetainly amongst the best.
The story is not the strongest part of this movie, but the Cinematography is just wonderfull. It is a movie that you want to look at it.
There are some amazing scenes from the top of the mountain, and some drop of water on a skin..and everything in between.
The score is great as well, and that theme song is amazingly beautiful.
..and finally Tang Wei..you just can't take your eyes of her. She is so alluring.
As a whole, the movie has drawbacks , but for all Cinephiles it is a must watch.
Very Good 8/10.

Hmm. You might be right.
It is a bit a tough spot. But, maybe the ML should have told her. And maybe do it in a serious way rather than dismissive, or over the top ?
SHS is a good crier though! lol.
On a lighter note: SHS dived again into the water to save someone lol (Ah! I don't think I will ever get over how wonderful and brilliant Mr Queen was)

I find the FL reaction a bit unfair about why they are not asking her? (please remember, I rely on subtitles, so I don't know if she said something different in Korean).
To start with, there are only two people who had a real chance (Mom & ML) since she has been hiding.
But, isn't it obvious why the ML didn't ask her? He simply doesn't believe in those accusations.
I thought asking her would be worse. Isn't what everyone is texting her and asking if it was real? She didn't seem to like that or consider it a concern.
I sympathise with her, but I think her reaction is unfair.

Yes. I agree.

If it makes you feel any better all platforms are like this. MDL is not unique.
Aggregate ratings are completely useless indicator whether you will like the drama or not.
5-6 people of similair taste are worth more than 50, 000 of random people.
