I write sorry, because it's formal politeness. And I see people in commentaries here can't live with any mild critic about this drama, that's why I decided to be even more polite in my commentary. Everyone must only say how amazing it is, how it's a masterpiece and so on. You don't even have to write it's bad to get some hate here. I didn't write it's bad, I wrote there were K-dramas doing certain things better than this one, but it's enjoyable and I don't regret watching it, But if your praise isn't big enough, you are a clown or whatever.

That's just toxic. And that's bullying which is exactly what show is against for. How ironic is to get some hate and be bullied for polite pointing what's good and what's not so goood in in the show about bullying. It's like so called fans don't understand what's this drama is about.

Well, I wrote my opionion. I wrote it in a polite reserved manner, I didn't offend anyone personally (and you tried to make this personal about me), I didn't spam, I didn't break any rules. So I will keep my commentaries about this drama here and I will comment whatever and whenever I want here. Deal with it.

> senior actor Namkoong Min

Really? I am pretty sure something was lost in translation. I mean Namkoong Min is in his 40s, he is hardly senior like, for example, Baek Yoon Shik or even Choi Min Sik.

I wouldn't say this show is as great as people write here. It's a feel good show about bullying and retribution, and not from some vigilante like in most of such K-dramas, but from the government itself using vigilante methods. It shows issues of the current school education (relevant not just for South Korea, by the way, but for many countries) from different angles with students, teachers and parents being perpetrators in different cases.

But it becomes repetitive at some moment, and like I wrote after episode 1 yesterday, the drama has subtlety of the pile of bricks falling on your head. Action scenes aren't great either, there are too many cuts and close-ups, it's generally pretty hard to understand what exactly happens during the fight. There are K-dramas with better action/fight choreography, sorry.

It's still enjoyable, because sometimes you just want certain people to get hurt for everything they have done. I have finished 6 episodes, it's a solid 7/10 in general (and that's my rating for it here). It's an enjoyable drama I am going to finish, I don't regret watching this, however I am not going to hope for a second season unless something really unexpected and extraordinary happens in the rest episodes.

I saw two trailers on YouTube about four and two weeks ago. I don't watch Korean variety shows, talk shows, whatever, maybe they did some promotion on linear TV in South Korea.

No, there is no much gore. But yes, there are a lot of bullying scenes with physical violence, just not much blood or body damage. I would say maybe on The Glory level or even milder.

On one hand, the drama is incredibly satisfying, on other hand, it is as nuanced and subtle as a pile of bricks falling on your head. I am still watching it.

Yes, sure. This show is a bit dfiierent thogh, because it's about a government bureau. albeit fictional, about social institutional changes. Even the drama itself could play its own role as some preparations for the real life decisions, just, you know, throwing the show to probe the public opinion, move some psychological borders of appropriate and inappropriate. I mean it's unlikely, but possible in theory.

No, the drama is mostly a military veteran beating pesky teenagers here, there and everywhere. Just joking. But not that much.

Yes, it's Netflix's own show, they release all episodes of their own shows at the same time.

Sometimes n American shows 30yo people play high school students. Yes, it has been a joke for decades,

Just add three weeks from Netflix K-drama releases: Teach You a Lesson -- June 5th, The Notes from the Last Row -- June 26th. Then every three weeks, like I wrote earlier: July 17th, August 7th and 28th, September 18th, October 9th and 30th, November 20th, December 11th,

But that's the point. The world is changing. It's cliche, of course. But right now it's true. New technologiy, aka drones, LLMs and even anthropomorphic robots are coming. Well, actually it has come, it's here. I liked how season 1 used drones and electronic warfare systems. With robots it's just casual reality of next 3-5 years at most.

I don't know, Neither Namkoong Min looks gravely at the second picture, nor he is cold and hardened at third one. He seems to be serious and attentive (maybe a bit wary too) and kinda sad/tired/exhausted respectively.

And I answered we as viewers don't know what show will be released in July, or August, or September specifically, just in Q3 in general. There aren't information yet.

We know dramas Netflix is going to release in Q3, but we as viewers don't know what title will be release on what day yet, including August.

Netflix isn't increasing anything. They just release K-dramas every three weeks. Sometimes there are two time slots in a month, sometimes there is only one. There will be two Netflix dramas in June, but only one in July, about July 17th, then it should be two dramas in August again, on August 7th and August 28th, and only one in September again, about September 18th. You can predict release dates yourself.

I hope Lee Seol is going to have enough screen time despite being a victim of kidnapping. One can like or dislike her, but she definitely brings some unique energy to the set. I have just watched Gold Land. Her role wasn't big, but she was really intriguing.

As it often happens with K-dramas, it was a mediocre story elevated by some great performances.

The best and the most nuanced performances (with the material they got) were given by Moon Jeong Hee and Kim Hee Won, they were so great together. I am surprised I have seen only two Kim Hee Won's works, movies, and I dpn't remember him at all. Two leads were very good too, chemistry between them is amazing.

Park Bo Young looks wonderful, and she was a perfect match for the role, because the actress does look like one of those women a man occasionally snaps out and thinks about, "What am I even doing now? Why am I helping her?" Not because the woman is beautiful or even sexy, there are much more pretty women, not because she is a femme fatale from (neo-)noir, because she isn't really seductive and manipulative (at least at first look), however for some reason some women are disarming. Why has Woo Gi risked everything and acted like a simp about a woman he used to know 20 years ago or so? Well, because she looks, talks and acts like Park Bo Young, duh!.. Anyway such a woman can look a typical damsel in distress, but in the end some or all predators and protectors will be buried, and she will get everything. I think in case of the wrong FL casting the drama would get much colder reaction, even for another good actress.

This is all I can write about. There are way too many loose ends or just overlooks and superficiality in writing to discuss the story seriously.

Disney+ has confirmed A Shop for Killers is set for release on July 22nd. It means the finale will be shown on August 12th. So Made in Korea season 2 is likely to be released on August 19th or August 26th, because they are two only summer slots left.

Yes, the man made some good movies in the past, but the show has had pretty tropey and not-so-smart script so far. For example, what's even the melodramatic/soapish trope with the newfound biological father among enemies of the protagonists?

But what's more important is some orders from the top brass of the streaming service. I do think they have made such things in the finale of their shows to set up possible new seasons.
