Stacked cast and different from the norm.

I agree wholeheartedly with your second paragraph. Only people who have never had to pay the bills come out with crap like that.

This looks awesome. So looking forward to (another) kdrama which doesn't feel the need to satisfy the LCD or crappy alcohol/face cream sponsors.

So substantiate your claims. Link a reliable source. He might well be 'shady' but he's not shady because some shrieky huswife says so.

Someone who makes a wild, unsubstantiated claim and then, when called on it, says "You look it up" is always going to be a twat. Not worth the breath to cool your porridge.

Hang on, was that just the comedy couple from 100 Days?

Yes, the writing is also very weak. What is it about Korean writers that they so often write the FL as dumb as a rock, even when she is something like a doctor or lawyer?

Thanks - it just clicked. I only know it from The King and the Clown, but it's a beautiful song.

Does anyone know which song he sings as a duet with the older chap during 'sing survival'? Its very familiar (drama theme tune?) but I can't place it.

I agree with you about SHR - one of the dumbest dramas I've ever watched. I can't understand why it was so popular. Even the 'acting' (from people who CAN act) was bad.

I note that this isn't doing too well in Korea. Is that because people are 'cancelling' the actor or because they're noticing the flaws in the writing/filming/editing?

I read a lot of Korean fiction (books, not webtoons) and I think I've read 2 that are about assassins (The Plotters, The Old Woman with a Knife) and a third is queued in my Kindle (The Consultant), All were published recently. It does seem to be a popular theme.

Haha yes "Any comment I get for this will be ignored" and yet you feel the need to broadcast here? What, because nobody listens to you in real life?

She's a good writer. Her pieces are well written and researched.

Yes, alcohol misuse is linked to loads of health problems, with domestic violence, crime - including sexual violence - and suicide (far more so than depression) yet Korean dramas continue to romanticise not only drinking but full on, incoherent, vomiting drunkenness.

Sociopaths are more dangerous than psychopaths, of course. They're more irrational, more likely to be violent/lose control .

I'm enjoying it more than a few other dramas currently airing. Yes, its quite silly and the 'science' mostly isn't, but you could also say that about lots of shows, both Korean (their treatment of DID and prosopagnosia, for example) and Western (all those CSI shows, House, etc). Decent acting all round and lots of entertainment.

Or Hodor.

Yes, I wasn't drawn in by the 1st two episodes. And part of the premise - if that you are a disturbed, stalker fan you will eventually 'get' your idol - is a massive cringe, for me.

I don't like that a disturbed, stalking 'number one fan' is being set up as the FL/romantic lead. Also, the 1st two episodes were quite . . . dull.
