USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.

Yeah, the one ep per week thing is bullshit.
I thought I had, but I'll try again:
Producers have determined that by dropping episodes spread out over a period of weeks, it allows time for those who are watching to spread the word about the show and bring in new viewers who didn't start watching from the first episode.
Thus, as the show continues to run over that time, more and more viewers accumulate.
The theory is that in this way, overall viewership ends up being much higher than it would have been if all episodes had been dropped at once.
I don't know if the theory is accurate, because it seems to me that people who binge-watch a show that drops all eps at once, are going to spread the word, regardless.
And others hold off watching at all until the end of the run, so they can binge it all at once.

Hope that helps. :)

I don't get why the product placements.Netflix doesn't need the money.Is it possibly a spoof on Kdrama product…
So, is it the case that with licensed dramas, Netflix has no input until they purchase rights or whatever for it to run on its platform?

LMAO this drama has one of the weirdest product placements, from Seong Han Su having a supplement drink after…
I don't get why the product placements.

NOW I know where I saw Ok Taec Yeon before!
The (supposedly) gay-themed drama, "Soul Mate."

I remember commenters on that page discussing how much OTY's status as a kpop idol had to do with the script downplaying the gay in a GAY story.
I was entirely unaware of him before SM, but was annoyed at the casting.
It's so freaking weird how Korean studios keep casting actors/idols in gay dramas who aren't willing to actually, you know, PLAY gay.
So what happens is the romance gets whittled down to nothing in a story about a gay romance.
Suddenly, we get commenters explaining how it IS SO a gay romance, even though there is no romance whatsoever, unless you cross your eyes, fingers, and toes while watching and choose to interpret every perfectly average eye contact as being deeply meaningful and a sign of forever love.
And god forbid there would be any hugging or (gasp!) kissing, cause totally butch Kpop idols are no NOT gay. (lol)

Long story short, don't watch "Soul Mate."
It sucks.
But, something about OTY stuck with me and I'm glad to have seen him here.
He shows promise as an actor.
But please, OTY, stay away from gay until you're ready to play gay, okay?

could've been a movie or a mini 6 episode drama because it's getting repetitive and silly. i just fast forward…
I always wonder how people who fast-forward through shows know they're not missing "anything worth remembering."

You didn't watch.
You don't know.

It was exciting until it became so unserious especially the latest episode in the car park like what are they…
Agree.
That was just stupid.
So stupid that it was not funny.

Ep 6: The pure evil of Hye-ri’s dad, Gang Chan, is almost too much for me. His right hand man, Director Nan,…
Gold Teeth is a highlight!
I hate him but I love watching him do his Gold Teeth thing.
Great acting.

I love this show but it's a curious mix of over-the-top slapstick and poignant, heart-rending drama. I also cant…
Lord, isn't that child beautiful?
I gasped a little when I first saw her.

“Minji, I’m here.” Best scene in today's episode, the way Manager Kim emerged from the shadows, turning…
Thanks for that!
I didn't catch the puppet/strings allusion at all. :P

I cant help but teared at story featuring guest appearance of Ok Taec Yeon😭 also his bro and so ji sun acting…
Those were effective scenes.
He is a good actor, but I'm still trying to figure out where I've seen him before, as I recognized that face immediately, just not from where.
I don't know him as a rapper at all.

Almost all of the acting, across the board, is excellent.

Episode 6:
Did anyone else jump out of their skin when that thing came flying at the camera in an early scene? lol

So Ji Sub is the all-time action thriller god.
The way he plays this guy with that understated, deadpan affect, is perfection.
His doesn't do macho posturing, yelling, and other BS, he just kicks ass.
That dead calm in his eyes spells your death. :D

The actor playing Ju is phenomenal, too.
What he conveys with quiet calm and slight facial movements is astonishing.

A couple of times in these two episodes, things went a tad over-the-top in the slapstick/firearms department.
Still awesome, though.

Damn, now six days of waiting.

Episode 5:I'm a mess after the first 15 minutes. (sniffs, blows nose)That little child actress has a major career…
#1. There is no way that Min Ji, after the hell she just went through to escape that freezer storage space, and knowing her life was in peril at any turn, would then waltz right out to present herself under street lights on a public highway, begging for a ride.
She is far too smart for that, which is why that plot device is incredibly lame.

We all knew what was going to happen next, and then it did. :P

It always shocks me that writers/directors don't fix such obvious stupidities.
There would have been a hundred other ways to get her into Ju's clutches, that would have been believable.

# 2. Agent Kim knows his kid may still be alive but freezing to death trapped in a cold storage warehouse, but he takes time to leisurely discuss with 66's little brother the circumstances of his brother's death and related philosophical issues.
Not.

Episode 5:
I'm a mess after the first 15 minutes. (sniffs, blows nose)
That little child actress has a major career ahead of her if the Knetz don't get to her first.
Not only is she breathtakingly beautiful, but she's an incredible actor.
There wasn't a single false note in those scenes.

It's hard to sympathize with someone freezing to death if they won't at least put on their hood, zip up their sweatshirt, and button their coat.

This show rocks, which is why the few missteps annoy me:
