I always hate that, but that comment section is particularly horrible to read with all these people writing "ML", "FL", "SML", etc. Is that so hard to write the characters names ? Or at least the actors names... ?

Based on the trailer I have high expectations. Finally a new serious men romance with depth from Japan. And not a love triangle, despite one of the three main leads being a woman. I really look forward to it.

Ji Yul and Sang Hyun would be great together, too bad we don't have that kind of love triangle yet in dramas. ^^

I haven't read the webtoon so I can't compare to it and I don't know if it's a faithful adaptation. That's definitely not the kind of humour I really like, and stories with love triangle aren't my thing too, but Choo Young Woo is so good and I like his character Han Ji Yul very much. It's also nice to see Baek Sung Chul in his first main role, even if his character is not the best. All the acting is actually great, the story nice and the subject of veterinary and countryside quite interesting, but they went a little bit too far on the cliché of countryside people in Korea, and the character Ahn Ja Young is too weird for me, even if Joy is doing a great job.

The acting is still a little bit lacking sometimes, the production too, and there are the usual clichés, but overall that's very cute.

That doesn't concord with her reaction, neither with her proud attitude regarding the fact that she got in the art school by herself. Their conversation in the bedroom while paining the portrait also show that she had no clue about the purpose of that command.

Yep, that doesn't concord with her proud attitude regarding the fact she got in the art school by herself, and their conversation in the bedroom while paining the portrait. She definitely didn't know the real purpose of that command.

Because she thinks they had an affair and he killed her at that moment, so alone with him in that house she don't know what will happen to her.

Oh you're right. ;) Well, Wonryeong Group seems like a fictive chaebol so the group is kind of the flag ship and Orchid Counsel and Wonryeong Industry are affiliates I think.

Yes, here it's the collection of the director I think. Probably because of the society name. And also because a lot of wealthy and powerful people in Korea have collections of rare and expensive orchids and flowers. It's often shown in Korean dramas too.

Choi Do Il is the Head of Finance Division of Overseas Subsidiaries of the society Orchid Counsel (the same of In Joo), which is part of Wonlyeong Group (that belong to Park Jae Sang, the future candidate for Seoul mayor elections). It seems it's a company that deals with funds management.

I totally agree, this character is making me like her again, because after Yu Mi I was kind of sick of her. ^^

The references to the original are totally obvious though. It's just a liberal adaptation. There are many degrees in adapting an original piece into a movie/TV series.

The references to the original are totally obvious, even if it's a very liberal adaptation. A alternative universe is a fan production, that's different.

From the first two episodes, this is promising. I didn't expected it to be this kind of thriller drama. It's a very interesting adaptation of "Little Women". I was fed up with Kim Go Eun because of her Yu Mi character haha, but this In Joo, despite her flaws, his much more likeable. Nam Ji Hyun's character is interesting, quite atypical. I look forward to Wi Ha Joon's performance too.

That's interesting, and intriguing. I personally don't care about the ratings to watch something because, especially here, the panel is not representative for me, so I don't pay attention to it. But for people that use that to determine their choices it's a pity.

Didn't knew that "Unforgotten Night" and "Check out" were in a competition for the most ridiculous Thai BL of all time. I'm really not sure which one will win. Let's see next week.

Well, all Pornographer parts are so good, it's not comparable. And it's a real men romance, not a BL, so it's quite different too. There are far less teenage girls watching this kind of shows, so of course the comment sections are different too. ^^

After reading your comment I checked Japanese BLs ratings out of curiosity and I was surprised because it's true that it's actually quite low. I personally think Japanese are the best at this genre, with the more unique plots and very good seasoned or rookie actors for the main couple and support characters. So I think it's probably because being the home of BL, and many people knowing yaoi mangas, the drama adaptations are often "weak" in comparison. Their acting is top notch and the production always very good, but the stories development is often too slow, and between the uncommon romances, characters and the very soft and pure interactions between characters, many of the viewers here must feel frustrated, more than really disliking the dramas, thus the low ratings.
