I felt bad after watching the 1st episode, Kim Jong Kook got every answer right without any help but was unlucky to be chosen as a spy. EunBi's comment about how unbelievable it was that he answered every question correctly because he was "too old to know these answers" was so unfair. She knew he only gets the correct answers after receiving the receipts, and he guessed them all correctly before receiving them. Everyone ended up accusing him of being ignorant and only getting the 1st place after getting fed the answers by the production team when he was going to be in 1st place anyway. I'm glad they aired a clip at the end where JongKook explains the situation, I don't know why I feel triggered when people don't acknowledge how smart he is just because he has muscles.

I like Thai movies and lakorns, and Another Miss Oh is one of my favorite Korean dramas, but I hate copy-pasting. I'm in the 1st episode and it kinda feels like a deja vu, especially the first scene. I hope they will try to change scenes more, and only follow the plot.

It's the opposite in the KDrama, you will find yourself rooting for the female lead and feeling indifferent towards the male lead or even disliking him.

The first few episodes were good but I had a hard time finishing the rest. I guess my taste in dramas got more mature. I'm really not as impressed by the cheesy storylines as I used to be. At first I thought they were making fun of cheesy situations and cliches in dramas, but as I was watching I realized they were just reusing them. What they do in the shadows isn't less cheesy than what they do on stage. It's a waste of time. I recommend watching W instead.

I thought Da Eun was the best candidate, she's never had a bad performance, and her semi-final stage was the best, but G-Soul's final stage and only his final stage was better. She chose a song that isn't suitable for her vocals. The other two were not nearly as good, I was surprised and dumbfounded that Dynamic Duo and Sung Si Kyung picked them over the others. Ye Ji and Chang In had better chance at winning. Dynamic Duo's candidate never should've made it this far. She was very lucky the others had some mishaps, I thought Kim Na Rae was so much better, but when they did a "sample" to pick the semi-final candidate she wasn't as good as she was in the previous rounds.

Yes, you have to watch the first season before. Not because you wouldn't understand what's going on but because I personally think the second season would be lame without the first one, especially since most of its story is about them looking back at their relationships that started and/or ended in the first season.

In terms of story, I prefer this season over the first one. If it weren't for the very open ending and the replacement of the actress who plays EunJae and the sudden change of her character, this would've been a masterpiece. I also missed Hwayoung and the sunbae/EunJae cute interactions. I hope there would be a third season that focuses more on the relationship between Sung Min and Jiwon.

He is the main PD since the 494th episode.

She just met him, how is he now more important than her friend? This "love" is silly.

I'm halfway through and I still don't get why anybody would fall for Kim Moo Young, especially someone who seems pretty smart and wise like Yoo Jin Kang. Whether he is the killer or not, he is very unlikable. She knows he is a manipulative player, but she still like him anyway. Is it the "I can fix him" syndrome? I don't like watching lead characters behaving like this, even though I enjoyed it when Misa liked Light in Death Note, but that's because that one is totally crazy.

They usually film 2 or 3 weeks before airing, on Mondays and sometimes on Tuesdays.
You can find their filming and airing dates here, but they only update this page after they've already done filming:

I agree with this. The fact that the show has improved a lot despite the restrictions they have to follow in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is an indication of how well the new PD is doing. I really didn't like the episodes with Chul Min PD. The first episode with the new PD is 494.

I really dislike the female lead character to the point where it's hard to continue watching this. She is quite aggressive, and not in a nice way, she turns arguments into physical fights. She is also a stalker even though she doesn't admit it and consider herself a fan. If someone told you not to enter their house, keep away, even when you see the door magically opens for you. She keeps harassing the guy and feel offended and wronged when he calls her out for it. This is my opinion after watching the second episode, I don't know if her character will improve, that's why I'm trying to watch an episode every once in a while, so that I can forget the bad things she does and start to like her more.

Any kind of phobia has many levels, I don't think he has a phobia that is as strong as they show you. This program is super fake, everything has been set up for everyone before shooting, and they tend to exaggerate members' personality traits to make it interesting for viewers. Heechul isn't as obsessed with cleanliness as they show, and Jong Kook isn't as stingy as they show. If they didn't exaggerate, they wouldn't have content.

I don't remember since I watched it 5 years ago but it's a makjang drama; secrets, lies, slaps, water throwing, domestic violence, crimes, twists, and plenty of things you can't expect. Romance isn't really the main focus of this drama, it's all about "family" relationships, if you can call this a family. It's very absurd yet very enjoyable.

Great drama. It's funny to see some KDrama cliches in this era. Everything was so serious until some guy bought all the tram tickets just to spend time alone with his crush. I was like "Oh God! This happens in Joseon too!", but they saved it with the unexpected comedic bromance after.

It got boring so fast..

Does this follow the original really closely?
I don't like watching remakes, especially to something I watched recently and didn't quite like, but I enjoyed every Thai film or drama I watched, that's why I'm considering it. I don't want to feel like watching the same thing twice with only different actors and different language, especially since Tunnel already seemed familiar to me since it kinda feel like a remake of Memories of Murder and Signal.

I, unlike many other viewers, actually liked the twist. I hate perfect characters in dramas and I like having one that has big flaws just like the ones you encounter in real life. I find dramas that picture the world as pink childish and unrealistic. I don't like when they paint the flaws as positive things like what they usually do in most dramas where sexual harassment is considered a romantic thing, but in this one the character's flaw is deemed a bad thing, and the character, being mostly a good character and not an entirely bad one, acknowledges their flaw, is a shamed of it, and tries to fix it. Even flawed characters deserve love not just the perfect ones!
