I'd love to see Won Ji An and Nam Tae Hoon in more stuff. They stole the show for me.

Royal Consort Hwang is a main cast character. I assume she will be a primary antagonist.

I agree that there's no chemistry beyween the leads. I don't think it helps that the FL was so creepy at the beginning and, now she's just . . . bland and twee.

How did cunnilingus get past the censor?

"the food of death"? I'm guessing stinky tofu. Amirite?

Yes, she's excellent, as is the actor playing the skinhead boy.

Is anyone else enjoying Jo Han Chul's giggling sociopath, chewing up the scenery?

I had high expectations going into this but found it utterly dull and tropey - and its bollocks that those tropes were 'subverted' - they weren't. They were all there, full force and twice as ugly.

Not without a VPN. Disney+ regularly scoops up the international streaming rights to Korean shows but then doesn't show them except in a small number of East Asian territories and India.

I was required to address my parent's friends as Aunt/Uncle as a child (Europe) - a politeness thing. But it seems to have fallen out of favour, now.

I'm worried that the writers are trying to set it up so that in order to stave off evil Daddy and his henchmen from killing one or more innocents they'll sacrifice a main character. If its Tae Shik - who brought/kept this sociopath in the hospice - I'm less fussed as he's half dead anyway. But I rather fear it won't be.

I agree, a lot of people seem to have taken stupid pllls at this point.

I'd be investing in a year's supply of Clorox, too, if the FL was 'cooking' regularly in my house.

I like him, and agree he's a scene-stealer, but shows like Penthouse/overwrought telenovela type things aren't my cup of tea at all.

I thought she was a Mandarin speaker? She's been some Chinese dramas as well as many Korean ones.

It's like a very low-rent Hometown but for teenagers. And with horrible, rather than lovely, aunties. I'm still enjoying it, though - I even like the 'annoying' second leads. It would be pretty dull without them to add dramatic tension as the mains have zero chemistry, despite the number of times she has forced herself into eerily close proximity to him.

Yes, I've read the synopsis elsewhere and the MDL description is just a complete word salad. If something is on, say, Netflix they just nick the description from there but gawd knows how they arrived at the drivel above.

The first couple of cases aren't very interesting (very old people dying at the end of a full life - it's only really sad for their relatives) but there are some more interesting/moving ones later on, plus some decent acting.

But I agree with you that slice-of-life is the hardest genre to get right - all that small canvas stuff.

I saw her in some of those early roles and thought she had promise but she was utterly flat in both Radio Romance and Love Alarm - I thought she might have caught that pretty actress/actor disease where blank faced staring=acting. To be fair the ML, too, did that a lot of the time in AoS. I hope one of them will show a bit of energy in this project - assuming it goes ahead.

I wonder how many times Hwang Jung Eum will either (a) screech like a banshee or (b) clutch at a male character's groin/legs while delivering her role?
