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. 🥰

Everyone here seems to be sure that the marriage is 100% safe, but why is that? We know that Junmo will go to a very dark place as "an ambitious cop gone rogue". We know that Gicheul is a character "seeking redemption" (a loaded word in terms of the religious symbolism in the drama). We also know that Euijung and Gicheul were each other's first love, that she kept the necklace, and that he's still wearing his. We know that he's still very much in love with her. And we know that Lim Se-mi said she didn't see her "husband" that much on set and that she "filmed more scenes with Wi Ha-joon."

I think it's too soon to say where any of these characters are going, because we just don't know. But I do think it seems too easy and "boring" for Euijung to just use Gicheul's feelings to trick him. It would be a lot more interesting if Junmo got tempted by the "dark side" and Euijung was drawn to Gicheul. This shot showing Gicheul in the light and Junmo in the dark is interesting; could it be foreshadowing?

Very good third episode. Everything is set up and the character dynamics can keep developing. I think there was a little bit of overacting in the more comedic scenes (probably what the director wanted) and the slow motion stuff still doesn't work for me. But I am enjoying this so much!

ML with trauma being "fixed" by the FL is soooo overdone in romcoms though.

How often are we gonna have to deal with this person's meltdowns lol
