Random Series

That is why I started my original post with stating that I am in minority :)
I also have curiosity, and seek to know a bit more, but only little bit.

I am not doubting the sincerity of these messages.
This is just a drop in an Ocean.
My problem is with the culture itself.

I am sorry. I don't understand.
I am not belitteling their efforts.
I love what all these creative people can produce.
And, I have no doubt they put their hearts and souls in their work.
But, I don't see the corelation between my admiration of their work and my desire to know them personally.

Exactly.

I really find it great injustice that IU is nominated while Moon So Ri is not.
I believe she gave far better performance.
But, just like almost all awards across the world, the big names (same thing when The Glory actress won) are the ones who get rewarded unless there is a consciouss decision for more inclusivity.
I am not saying IU didn't do a good job, but I think Monn So Ri was the better one.

I know I am minority, but I really prefer the seperation between artists and viewers.
These things, the various meet and greet, and the increased interaction between artists and viewers create a false sense that you know these people and create false sense of personal attachment.
These are just people doing their job. We enjoy the fruit of their labour. And they get rewarded
for it.
I wish it stays at that.
The celebrity culture and the parasocial relationships just leads to more and more bad stuff.

Fair.

I am not sure I agree about IU.
I think IU is a good actress, but she is also very wise, and her choices are excellent.
I think the behind the camera team makes her look better than she is.
I think she was excellent in My Mister, because she didn't have to do a lot. However, what she did, was excellent.
Here she was required to do more, and while I liked her, I didn't think she was exceptional.
In my opinion Moon So Ri was much better.

I have great sympathy with your feelings, but you are a bit harsh.
You rated Business Proposal 8.5/10.
Now, for the record, I also gave it 8.5.
But, was that series high quality and artistic drama?
It was cliche as hell. Often slapstic. Followed well trodden expected path. Acting was basic since there was hardly any need for wide range.
But, it was very entertaining, and made us feel good, and have good time.
In other words, it is largely emotional reaction, and it also had high production values.
Don't you think the same can be said about you?
You are so easy to please. Just few good looking actors and silly romantic plot and you give it 8.5/10.
At least this one has a good script, deals with realitstic issues in largely realistic way, has very good acting, and great director.
I really appreciate that you are voicing a different opinion to a very popular series.
But, there is no need to comment on other people.

My Mister is certainly better in almost everything imo.
My Mister writing is certainly superior and deeper.
But, I enjoyed this a bit more than Misaeng.
This one is more relatable because it concentrate a lot on relationships between parents and children. And just general life.

Ratings are subjective. Also there is rating inflation.
It is however a very good drama if you like dramas about life. It is largely realistic (still drama of course).
If you are looking for cutesy romantic fluff, it is not for you.
Personally, I don't think it is best Kdrama, but I can fully understand it, and I am not even upset about it.

It is hard to know for real though.
He is working for Netflix, appearing in a Netflix programm, and it is showed on Netflix channel.
What do you expect?
I watched the commentary, everyone was praising everyone. It is expected. Ultimately this is a promotional video, and we shouldn't take everything in it as face value.
It is interesting for some little behind the scene info.
P.S: All that said, I am NOT saying the translation wasn't good. I don't speak Korean. But we shouldn't trust a promotional video too much.

Don't be so harsh on people :)
It is strange to give this low score (Cinematography alone deserves few stars)but people are different.
But, I also find it very strange to call this slow with no plot. I agree with you, it is very fast, and if anything, has too much plot.

Last episode: One and half hour of constant tears.
I really liked the series. It is certainly one of the best Kdramas I have ever seen.
I don't consider it the best though(For me-that is My Mister), and I am still not sure if it gets in my personal top 10.
BUT, unlike some other dramas, I FULLY understand why it could be considered as the best, and I will not argue a lot against that.
It was such a fantastic one.
This director is just amazing and phenomenal: Miseang, My Mister, and now WLGYT!

PLEASE no spoilers!

I just started watching this. I have watched 2 episodes so far.
My question: Is this episodical with an over-arching thread? (a bit like Extraordinary Attorney Woo)

You can watch , but stop at episode 16. If the series ended at E16, it would have been happy ending.
But, E17 is very painful and more or less mirror the history.
I suppose you can take heart that they had 6 or 7 years together.

Thanks.

Thanks.

No spoilers please.
Regardless whether you liked the ending or not. My question, does it has an end? or is it a cliffhanger/set up for more seasons?

Agreed.
For a moment I was worried that we are going to get the useless and manufactured break up, but thankfully, it was resolved quickly and in a believable way.
