Well, he/she commented this on my comment:
"Idk about that lol I first ever heard of it recently - maybe it is only among asian drama fans"

Interesting, you see, you don't often see someone Bragging about his Lack of Knowledge, the fact that he doesn't know about something that is pretty widely known, is somehow the fault of the thing he doesn't know about.
Apparently, such a beloved show has to be "Already known" to him/her for it to qualify as worthy. Also, he/she seems to be completely disregarding it's High ratings both in MDL and also IMDB.
Talk about Narcissism.

I suppose you don't belong here, given the fact that you don't even have the basic knowledge about how the typical jargons work here.
To give you a simple example, when people say, "Anime" they don't simply mean animation, that is made by the US or any other country. It means "Japanese Animation". If you wanna associate a Chinese animation in the anime category, you usually say "Chinese Anime". Even that is not very commonly used, due to the fact that Anime is predominantly used regarding Japanese animation.
An American tv show like "This is Us" is a drama, however, when talking about it on youtube or any platform, it's called a "Tv Series" or a "Tv Show" or sometimes "Drama Series". The drama part is associated with "What type of a tv series/show" it is. Nowadays due to all these Netflix originals and shows that are aired in online platforms, people just call them "Shows".
Historically, the term "Drama" as a category of it's own is associated with Asian dramas, that's why the terms J-drama, K-drama, C-drama, Thai-drama etc are very commonly used, contrary to something like a "US Tv Show". Due to the popularity of Asian dramas worldwide, nowadays, "Drama" itself is associated with Asian dramas. In this part of the world, even crime shows are simply called crime dramas, even if the "Dramatic" element is hardly present in that particular show. In MDL, drama means Asian dramas, period.
It's quite astounding that you don't know this and calling what I said a "Massive cope", while pretty much ignoring the fact that both the MDL and IMBD score for this show is high.
Comical.

When we say the word "Drama" here in MDL, we generally mean Asian dramas. Particularly Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Thailand, Philippines etc.
Judging by the reviews both in MDL and IMDB, it seems to be considered one of the best dramas.

The original show I believe is considered to be one of the best drama ever made.
Question is, how is this one gonna measure up to it?
Anyway, I will watch both of them I guess.

All the best wishes.

I first saw him on "Into the Ring" with Nana and immediately became a fan. He was great in Psychopath Diary too. And recently with The Glory and Not Others, my appreciation for him is just rising non-stop.
Dude is one of those Super Talented actors who look absolutely great in Both Positive and Negative roles. Although, from now on, I would really love to watch him in Positive Roles as The Main Male Lead.
I just find him Ridiculously CUTE for some reason.

The story seems to be complex and interesting. Hope it rocks.

Man, Mr. Romantic's arc is so good. A pure contrast from Mr. Humanist's arc. A lot of fights, a lot of blood.
This is how you do flashback arcs. At the end of ep 11 I just wanted the story to go on.

The bits about "My Liberation Notes" with that Music playing in the background is just hilarious.

I keep going back to the end of episode 7, where during confrontation with his mother Bong Seok realizes that the dream he has almost every night floating in the sky and hearing a voice, is actually a memory of his dad. When he is floating in the sky and Jo In Sung comes flying across and grabs and hugs him and console him, it's so cool and heartwarming to watch at the same time.

Two Great episodes. I can't help but love this show. The storytelling is so good.

She has an Amazing Voice. She looks small, however, the voice she carries is very strong and attractive. She has been blessed with a great vocal cord. When I first heard her I was kinda shocked. Amazing.

Honestly, it's very much well deserved. For me, currently it's a 10/10.
Apart from the great story, presentation, tension and likeable characters, They did a phenomenal job with the VFX. It looks less like a K-drama, more like a K-movie, production-value-wise.

It has internal english subs. Whichever version you are downloading 1080p/720p/540p, better to choose Link 2. Link 1s seem to have an issue, I had problem downloading. Link 2s are working fine.
Shoutout to Dramaday.me. Finally found english subs for this one.

So far, It's been a FABULOUS show. The production quality is one of the best I've ever seen in a K-drama. The story, the characters, the VFX, the music, the tension......
All top quality.

Ahn Bo Hyun, what a rise he is on from the last 2 years and so. Good luck to both of them.
I think the phrase "Dating Scandal" should not exist. These two words should really position far away from each other.
I mean, "Sex scandal", "Political Scandal", "Financial Scandal" those I understand, but Dating Scandal, I mean, WTF!!!

The latest trailer was, Savage!!!

Well, I am all for it.

That's the trend normally in Dramaland, and has been as far as I remember. Romantic theme is more preferred (Due to cuteness, fluffiness, chemistry etc etc) and more importantly, popular heroes and heroines get away with subpar acting/show/storyline, especially in the initial stage ratings, which has a strong impact on the overall rating.
If the initial rating is very high, then with time even if the show quality drops, which happens all the time, it still retains a hefty portion of that initial ratings. Not to mention most of the liked reviews are written at the initial/mid stage of the drama, many don't correct them even if the show turns bad at the later half.
That's just how it is.

I sincerely hope that this one isn't a freaking tragedy, want a happy ending.
