I love Brooklyn 99 and I love Korean dramas but there are a lot of issues in B99 that I am not confident Korean dramas could handle well enough. Some of the issues don't really translate into Korean culture. I've also seen shows be really insensitive to issues of race or sexuality in recent years. Those issues that B99 handles pretty well are really important to me and I wouldn't want to see them omitted, mocked, or poorly handled. If we could have a funny cop show from Korea, that'd be awesome that also talks about serious issues in Korea that'd be cool, but I really would not want it to be a direct adaptation or interpretation of Brooklyn 99.
Am I the only not seeing the hype ? And I'm speaking as a Gong Hyo Jin fan. I found this drama subpar at best.…
As a Gong Hyo Jin fan I thought this suited her. She tends to take on roles that challenge expectations with women who are dare to be different. Thats part of the reason why I love her as an actress. Considering this is not her first role where she is in a relationship with multiple people, I also think this is a very fitting role for her.
I can't get mad at the movie but I will be mad at the characters lmao. I think the writing does a good job of portraying how difficult having multiple partners can be when not everyone is 100% on board and not everyone knows how to communicate. Sometimes the lead was scary :/ I wish they focused more on the other characters, like the wife and her other husband. But the movie is already 2 hours long lol i liked it
I really liked the natural feel that came out of Oh My Ghost. A phenominal cast and inviting/comfortable directing made for a good (though controversial) show.
One thing i wish this show did more of was use its setting. Like for example it'd be funny if there was a running joke where a lot of the guests would all make the same mistake and the owners tried more and more elaborate ways to notify guests not to make the mistake (putting up a sign and then getting crazier and crazier). I feel like a guesthouse is a goldmine for uniquely funny situations and its a bit underused. Still I like the show a lot. They get pretty creative with their elaborate schemes.

Yeah this hasn't been the best year for kdramas. T_T I still want to finish Suspicious Partner but it's a struggle. I also watched Queen for 7 Days because Park Min Young... but I honestly would have dropped this along time ago if I wasn't using it for a drama challenge. Actually the drama challenge is kind of the only reason why I haven't dropped most of my dramas on my currently watching list (besides Scarlet Heart, that is a great drama).
I can see what you're saying about Jealousy Incarnate. I did end up mostly liking it, but i can see what you mean. I'm struggling to finish Suspicious Partner right now T_T I really liked it when it started out but its difficult finishing that last stretch. I really want to though.
also best villain????
