Exactly - only one of a dozen dramas Disney has hoovered up has been made available where I live. They've sold soooooo many subscriptions under false pretenses.

Has any genuine streaming service picked this up? Or is it being held hostage by Disney+?

I love Korean food programmes, the leads are engaging and its information-packed.

That's all this person - possibly a bot - ever asks, often multiple times on a page.

Yeah, she's a piece of work. Despite being a sweet faced old lady. She heaped abuse and neglect on her son's head when he was young, all so she could be a side piece for some twat. Someone suggested earlier that she was a slave to the man but that doesn't square with her wanting to attend his memorial.

She's credited on the drama's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Now_On%2C_Showtime!#Supporting

What are the green things (they look like boiled sweets) they drop into glasses of soju?

I think she's meant to be a shit at this stage. She is competing with all those dinosaurs she (clearly) despises by being as vile as them. I suspect that part of the story arc will be her Finding Redemption (and her better self).

Yes, her, thanks.

Who was the fabulous older woman in the restaurant? The cast list is not helping.

For every one journalist who is breaking hard-hitting, real news there are 9 ambulance chasers, scandal-mongers and agenda pushers. And not just in Korea, either.

The main couple's romance is very puerile, particularly for two 30-somethings. It has no energy - either in the sense of 'new' love, nor long awaited love. It's as if two 17 year olds are practising for prom. But I love the young enemies-to-lovers couple and the cameos. The cameos are the best bit, in fact.

The main couple is very bland. and twee. But the rest of the cast are fun.

Does this remind anyone else of Nine Queens (Argentinian film)? Not the plot, literally, but the vibe and the whole air of what you think is happening (like, who's scamming who) isn't what's happening.

I think the main 'romance' is a bit childish and insipid, and the mum thing is tedious, but I'm LOVING the cameos. And the ensemble cast/side stories.

Why is Jung Eun-hye not on MDL's cast list? She is on Wikipedia.

But, like kdramas with 30 something hetero couples who suddenly (and incomprehensibly) go all squeakily virginal when they get together, it appeals to the teenage girl/prudish old lady audiences.

Man, that long-haired lad needs to learn some acting. His constant 'raking his fingers through his long hair' schtick is so not doing it for me.

I find the whole concept of 'support' very odd. These people don't need unflinching support any more than a doctor, plumber or accountant. Charities need support, and so do one's family members, but actors, singers and other performers need to be good at their job, at which point you'll support them by paying for, watching - and talking positively - about their product. That's it. The freaky fans who talk about support out of one side of their mouth while advocating platforms which - literally - steal content out of the other are the real weirdos.

"She will be playing the supposed to be the character portrayed by IU." Jesus, MDL needs an editor. The pidgin has to stop.
