Definitely one of the best of 2023! Curious which direction it will go with that cliffhangar if they decide to…
I absolutely HATE this post credit sequence stuff, whether it is in this one, or other ones. If their aim was making me want more, then they achieved the opposite. Now I have to forget that sequence that certainly decreased my overall satisfaction Personally, I will just ignore it. If they make a second season I will not watch.
After 10 episodes. A tiny part of me feel sorry for Jaden hahaha. He is really having a rough time as well. I have to say that Park Sung Hoon looks much better as a cop than a bully.
I respectfully disagree. What made "My Mister" unique is that their relationship wasn't romantic (at least not for him) The beauty of it is the human connection and love between people that transcend the physical. Had they ended up together it would still have been fantastic series, but it would have lost some of its magic. ....and btw, I have nothing against age gap. I don't think it is ideal, but if both parties are willinglly going into it, who am I to object?
So the bully from The Glory and the gangster from Squid Game are the main detective and his boss. What a turnaround lol. After 6 episodes, I am really enjoying this very much. Good mix of thriller/mystery, humour, and emotions. The kid & the kidnapper have such a great chemistry.
Another Miss Oh..unfortunately, I didn't like 80% of the comedy and found it very cringe. Th sister scenes when it was trying to be funny gave me second hand embarrasement. The brother and his GF were SUPER annoying. BUT, the leads (especially FL) were great, and when it was about them, or when they had conversations it was fantastic. I am glad that PHY stopped doing that silly humour.
My Mister..a genuine masterpiece. My favourite drama in ANY language. I wish the script was in English. I would love to read it.
My Liberation Notes...Very good, but not as good as My Mister. The dialogues (or the silence) and contemplations were awsome as usual. I also liked the humour in this one .
I don't think this show is that good. 16 episodes was way too much and kinda ruined it for me. Should have wrapped…
My EXACT feeling. I would say even 12 is too much. 10 is enough. I was bored out of my mind the entire second half. I am not genius or anything, but I thought it was VERY obvious who is the culprit. Yes, I didn't know the how, but it really wasn't that hard to guess, and the show didn't make it very hard either.
At mid point, I find it solid, but below expectations. The central duo are good though. I like Chung Sun Eun (from The Sound of Magic) she is a fantastic crier lol.
I'm planning to watch this for Lee Min Ki. Can anybody who has watched this drama tell me how is he in this?
This is not your typical drama. it is VERY heavy on dialogues and contemplations. If you like this sort of things then you will at very least like it very much (it is by the same author My Mister if you have watched that one). Lee Min Ki character is like a real person. Personally, I think he is the one who has changed most during the course of the series. I started the series being annoyed by him, but by the end he was actually good.
Will...I Cry? I need something to make me cry at least
Hmm. I would suggest you watch "My Mister" if you want a good cathartic cry lol. MLN made me tear up little bit few times, but nothing in comparisson with rivers of tears during "My Mister" lol. My Mister & MLN are written by the same author. But, please be aware that the pace is REALLY slow, especially MLN. In MLN you get some fairly long scenes where characters don't say anything. They just eat, or just walk. My Mister, and even more with MLN you really must like and enjoy the writing to be able to continue. Otherwise, it is boring. This writer has some amazing dialogues, introspectives and contemplations. On personal level, "My Mister" is my favourite show of all time. Not just Korean, but in any language. (Only drama on MDL I gave 10) My Liberation Notes is very good, but it is lacking in some areas. About 8-8.5
I am torn. Personally, I didn't like Strong Girl Do Bong Soon and dropped it after 2 episodes evnthough I like main actress. This is probably different, but I have superhero fatigue from the amount of American series and movies I have watched. Not sure I can take more for a very long time. But, on the other hand I REALLY want to support Lee You Mi, who I thought was simply amazing in Squid Game. I thought her acting was much better than Jung Ho Yeon (btw..I have NOTHING against her. In the interviews she is very charming, endearing and humble).
Personally, I would say it is happy and satsfying ending. But, you have to remember that this is a time travel story, so you might not find it 100% happy ending.
You are right in principle. But, some actors can do it better than others. I think the biggest problem is that shows like this one, or 25, 21 you have almost the entire story set during high school. If you cast teenagers you are unlikely to get as good performances from them. Also, the show is not going to attract any attention with unknown teenage actors. TV shows are business at the end.
Rather than calling it confusing.. i will call it messy. The main plot was good but they made it messy by adding…
I would say the same goes for Ingyu. He also loved Minju for who she is and wasn't as excited about Junhee despite her more outgoing and more attractive personality (at least for the majority) I might be in minority, but I actually felt much more for Minju, and I wished we spent more time to see things from her perspective.

2 more episodes.
He wasn't the main one, but he was part of the gang.
He played the marbles game with the "main" gangster.

The format of 9x50mins looks very much American. So, does the story end or is it left hanging for a another season? Thank you.

These series are at least 20 hours each.
