Yes

I think they're both excellent in this. It seems it's only those favoring one actor who feel the need to make these comparisons. I also think you're making assumptions about Gicehul's character. Who's to say nobody held a gun to his head? What is his bond with the powerful Kanemoto?

The love story is integral to Gicheul's character, and it may be his only tether to redemption. Whatever happens, he's the character with the most interesting trajectory to me, because we have no idea if he lives or dies, if he gets out of this mess or not. Junmo as the lead will be fine, there's no true nerve there, other than how much trauma he has to sustain before this is over.

Two excellent episodes this week with some very stellar acting. The cinematography is beautiful (the use of colors is simply magnificent), the direction is sharp and the writing is up to par. Can't wait for more!

Junmo may get his double promotion in the end ... but at what cost?

Guest list for the Vigilante event at BIFF on Oct 6:
Choi Jeong-yeol (director), Yoo Ji-tae, Lee Jun-hyuk, Kim So-jin
As expected no Nam Joo-hyuk since he's doing his military service

Second half of 2024, weekend drama.

Yep, and production has started, too.

Yes, he will have a crush, from the sounds of it. I don't have any issue with that, nor with the plot of Melancholia (great role for Lee Do-hyun).

The Soompi article is based on the same sources as yesterday, which state clearly that the actual romance will take place when they are both working as instructors at the academy.

Loving the chemistry between Hyunwook and Ryeoun. Very fun to watch.

Complaining and then also being wrong, gotta love it.

He is so great in everything I've seen him in. A twinkling star in the making. ✨

They are both teachers, actually.

This will supposedly be a weekend drama on tvN, releasing in the second half of 2024. OTT not decided, but I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix tried to get this for some WHJ synergy with Squid Game 2. They've distributed a lot of tvN's weekend dramas lately, and already have Queen of Tears for early 2024.

I don't think this man has slept since Squid Game. Last year he had Bad & Crazy and Little Women, this year he has The Worst of Evil and Gyeongseong Creature, then Graduation and Squid Game 2 in 2024.

Hm, I don't think people generally get matching necklaces with people they don't feel something for. They also agreed to go on a movie date and she looked flustered and shy when he held her hand when they were having their picture taken. But we will probably learn more about their past in the episodes to come.

This is true. Wi Ha-joon said in an interview with CNN Philippines a couple of months ago that he wanted his next project to be "melo"; I think he already knew he was doing this.

This has already started production, by the way. Jung Ryeo-won has been pictured with the script and has been seen filming. Wi Ha-joon has been busy promoting The Worst of Evil for Disney+ so I don't know if he's been on set just yet, but now that promotions are over, they're both ready to go.

Yeah, it's weirdly written, but it seems clear the drama will mostly take place at the academy where they are both teachers. Which makes sense since the leads are in their 30s and 40s. 😆

Finally male lead in a romance for Wi Ha-joon! This sounds like classic Ahn Pan-seok. 🥰
