Title Doona!
PLEASE no spoiler.
The format of 9x50mins looks very much American. So, does the story end or is it left hanging for a another season? Thank you.

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 .

Title Beyond Evil
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

Just give it a try and if it's not your taste, drop it. I often do that. I loved SWDBS because of the main leads.…
Sounds fair :)

On Strong Girl Nam Soon Oct 7, 2023
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).

Title A Time Called You Spoiler
is there a happy or sad ending?
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.

STOP CASTING 30 YEAR. OLDS AS HIGH SCHOOLERS.
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.

I'm a huge OG fan and yet I would recommend everyone to give this a shot. This is an adaption for a reason, faithful…
I agree that FL was clearly better than everybody else. She was excellent in the last episode.
ML is not bad. He is a decent actor that does the job we ll enough, but I don't consider him amongst the better ones.

Title A Time Called You Spoiler
im so confused
After the past has changed, the time line would be something like this.:
After the acar accident, MinJu and Inguy would most likely end up together, althought that is implied rather than spelled out (The bench scene in last episode).
SiHeon, kept the memories of the alternate timeline, but didn't physically meet adult Junhee until the last few scenes (on the bus & and the street)
JunHee although met SiHeon very briefly as a child, went on to live a completely different life without meeting Yeon Jun.
yeonJun died in the accident with his friend.

Final words: Don't try too hard to tie everything. This type of stories/plotlines always need a big dose of tolerance. The series IMO had lots of qualities even if the plot had some logic gaps.

I really enjoyed this series.
Time travel stories always have a certain weakness in logic no matter how good they are. In this one I felt it was fairly good.
There is mystery, romance, and frienship. But, also it tackles some very serious issues like loss, grieve, and self esteem. And, like most Kdrama it is emotional.
Jeon Yeo Been (FL) was very good. She was head and shoulders above everyone else.
Her scene in the last episode in front of the mirror was SO good!
Also, the lyrics of the theme song are great!

After 8 Episodes,

I am really enjoying this. I mean it is doing my heading, but Time Travel is one of my top favourite tropes, so I have been enjoying the ride.
I don't think AHS is great actor, but whether in Business Proposal, or here, he does the job.
I like the FL acting much more. She displays a wide range.

season 2? why couldn't they finish everything in one season? i'd rather that than dividing a drama to different…
If you watch S2, you will get S3.
If you are happy with multi-seaosns format then good for you. Sooner or later that what Netflix will do to all Kdrama they produce.
But, if you hate that format then you have to start with yourself and boycot S2 to send a message.

I'm getting fed up with western media companies that invest in producing foreign dramas, forcing their way of…
I am with you 100%.
I stopped watching American TV because of the multi-seasons format.
Unfortunately, I am seeing more and more Kdrama having this.
I must say though, that ultimately, it is the viewers fault. As long as people keep watching season after season companies will keep doing it.
Luckily I still have some back catalog, but I would rather watch old finished series rather new ones with multi seasons.
