The way I want to give this series a chance so badly because it's supposedly about to break Crash Landing On You's record, but I can't get past ep.5 at all. I'm probably overestimating the plot because of the high praises it's getting. Is it worth continuing solely for the leads' acting at this point? 😭

I've got to find someone that'll crack my skull open too so I can watch this drama again. ☹ Mind you, I finished 20 minutes ago...

I think you can come to your own conclusion regarding why a lot of celebrities get involved in these scandals, when you know these facts.

Mostly insanely common because of the importance studies hold in South Korea. Your entire life is at play because of your grades, exams, which schools you're going to, mostly which uni you end up in. So, that means, everyone is in a constant competitive state of mind. Adding the fact that they study until late at night, I guess everyone's mental health worsens and some people's ugly sides come out more easily.

Also, I'd add that South Korea is very much obsessed with self appearance, money and hierarchy. So it must come to play whenever bullying happens. I doubt the well put kids get as bullied.

Maybe I'm absolutely talking nonsense but that's what I've been reading upon years of being familiar with South Korea, etc, etc.

I agree with you regarding MMH, besides the better part. I actually finished watching MMH a few days ago and started PMR right after this, a little cautious that it wouldn't be as "good". As you stated, only the budget and casting was better than PMR. PMR had a lot of plots in its plots, yet they were moving in a pace that resolved things fast enough but also long enough to keep the tension high. Unlike MMH, that destroyed everything when the ex fiancée got introduced in the last episodes. MMH would've probably been on top if not for the last plot.
