Bae In-hyuk is so good in this, but I just can't with the FL anymore. She sort of worked for me in Hierarchy because of what the character was going through, so it made sense she was a bit flat and expressionless. But she's so flat here as well, her eyes are sleepy and with little emotion. She basically looks like she needs a good meal and a nap at all times. There's just no presence in the acting whatsoever.
Age gaps don't bother me, but Kim Go-eun's grandma haircut doesn't exactly help things, or that Kim Jae-won in the suit and glasses feels almost like a kid playing dress-up. How to take this seriously?
Who I think they should cast, like for Gyeol, they can pick - Hwang In yeop- Byeon Wooseok - Hwang Minhyun-Lee…
Chaemin will do great. And most of the actors you mention are busy with other projects, as well as too old for the role. What's this thing with wanting 30-somethings in a school uniform?
Since it is airing in the same week as Perfect Crown, it will face a lot of competition
They air on different days, so not in direct competition with each other on TV in Korea. This also has the benefit of Netflix global distribution, which has a much wider reach than Disney+.
I still feel like this will be released eventually, but it’s probably smart to take some time to figure out the best way to do that without irking sensitive Koreans. Maybe 2027.
Great choices! Jin Ki Joo was charming opposite Seo Kang Jun in Undercover High School and it's about time Kim Sung Cheol returned to romance after Our Beloved Summer, finally now as ML.
One thing I realized about the actor Hong Min Ki…in this role he gives resting b face all the time and it’s…
I agree, and I wrote a post about it here a while ago. He has a lot of potential, but he also has a lot to learn, especially in terms of emoting/varying his facial expressions. I get that he is all tsundere and is hiding his feelings because of the family he was born into, but skilled actors are able to portray nuance within that particular type of role which he is not currently able to do.
Sounds like a great project, based on a very popular book. Selfishly I wish he would do a network drama instead so it could premiere sooner, because OTT dramas always take forever to come out ðŸ˜
It will be really surprising to me if they release all 22 episodes at once. I kind of expected that Netflix would split this in two parts. Maybe they'll end up doing something similar to WLGYT? Who knows.

Also rumors this may premiere earlier since Signal 2 was removed from the lineup. Possibly July.
