Rating already dropped to 1.9%, and with this schedule, it's probably gonna fall more. So stupid.

That's not what romance means.

You are in luck, because it is not, in fact, a teacher-student romance. It is a mature romance melodrama between two teachers in their late 20s and 30s working at the same academy.

FLAW had so much potential but the writing left much to be desired. I still enjoyed it, but the way the romance was handled made it hard to get fully invested in them. Then they were suddenly broken up for a stretch and then got together at the end. But at that point the writer had failed to make me care enough about them so it was like *shrug*. I hope this is better written.

So excited about this! Wi Ha-joon's first lead in a romance. Reunited with Ahn Pan-seok. 🥰

He's really good. I'm much more excited to see him in Weak Hero 2 now.

Absolute nonsense. His performance as Baek Yi-jin in Twenty-Five Twenty-One was shattering and wonderful, and one of the best portrayals of a male character I've seen in years.

I agree! Unfortunately it seems some did not tune in from the day before.

Three of the four main characters are the Ha family. The entire first episode was about their family. Of course it is about them. Eunyu is FL because she is the ML's love interest. She'll become a part of the family when they marry 🤣

Are they? Because I can mention many dramas where minor (or bigger) controversies had no effect on ratings. Like when Kim Tae-ri apologized earlier this year during Revenant promo. King the Land also did not seem to suffer at all in the ratings after their much bigger controversy with the Saudi prince. Little Women last year had its highest rating after the Vietnam controversy/ban.

Don't be silly. Nobody is "boycotting" a drama for such a minor thing that nobody not chronically online has even heard about.

Not too surprising that the tv ratings dropped. Yichan and Eungyeol were kept apart for both episodes, and there was so much Sekyeong/Eunyu this week, when it's the family that is the heart of the show.

I really like the visuals/cinematography so far. And of course Nam Joo-hyuk will kick butt. 😍

Both are ready. My Demon premieres Nov 24, Sweet Home rumored on Dec 1.

I feel like I'm in upside down land. Comedy is his whole thing? He's excellent at it? That's why he keeps getting cast in roles like this one and 2521. Even in Weak Hero, which was an overall very serious drama, he had so many great funny scenes, whether he was slapping Jihoon's butt or shoving lettuce in his mouth. His characters are brought to life in large part due to his comedy, even in his more dramatic roles.

I don't see that at all. He's great at the emotional beats and made me tear up several times in episodes 7 & 8. I actually think it's even more impressive how he manages to stay true to the character's playful, funny nature even in those more serious scenes. It works for me at least.

It refers to the literal cookies that the plot revolves around. From trailers it seems the cookie packaging says "Hi Cookie", but the romanization for the show's title seems to officially be "High Cookie", maybe a play on how the cookie creates some kind of high when consumed.

Still really enjoying this, though my main issue is that I don't really care about Sekyeong/Eunyu. Like I just want more scenes of Eungyeol and his parents instead, so like the start of episode 7 had me impatient.

That worked well though, she was playing a young (fake) eunuch who was 18. This role is a much more adult one for Hyunwook, so I can't blame him for passing on it.

Park Jihoon was excellent in Weak Hero, his awards for that role were deserved. Hope this is good!
