I'd be surprised if Netflix didn't keep up their Song Kang streak, so that sounds about right.

Funny that the headline is about Ryeoun but all the pictures in the article are of Hyunwook. 🤣

Seems like Disney+ is taking care with its promotion. First we got still cuts coming out of the three main characters, then some stunning character posters, and likely a teaser will be next. There’s also the announced event in Japan with cast attending. Maybe the attention Moving is getting has shown them it’s possible if they actually promote their shows.

What's all too obvious is your hangup on AHS. You just posted similarly in the Business Proposal section last week. It's fine that you don't like an actor, that's your right. But plenty of us do. :)

Wi Ha Joon 😍

Yeah, that's my theory, too. Returning to the present for ep 15-20, focusing on both the kids and the adults in that timeline. The series seems to be a success for Disney+ so if the ending is open, it could be renewed.

Oh yeah, back story is obviously important. But some seem to think we're never returning to the present and won't see the kids again, which is absurd.

I don't think showing events that happened decades ago necessarily has more depth. The stakes are also lower, since we know where they are in the present. The stakes are higher in the present with the kids, especially after the exposing video, and that narrative consequently felt like it had more urgency and potency. The past is the past.

That probably would have been better. Waiting a week for two episodes about Joo-won being a gangster and romancing a coffee lady was not quite worth it in my book lol

Of course the story will return to the kids later on. I don't understand why people are so insistent on saying it's just about the parents. It's clearly about both, you can't untangle the new generation from the old. Once we've caught up on the past, we'll return to the present.

Character posters are out. With every new still, I really am impressed by the look of this show. It seems like the production values are high and that the costuming is on point. So ready for this!

You underestimate the power of negative attention. Especially in Korea. There's a reason why there were whispers of cancellation, even if the production company denied it.

You can apply for permanent residency when you've been in the country five years on a long-term visa. That's for foreigners, and since he was born in the country and is proficient in the language, it was probably a piece of cake.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; I much prefer AHS, and can't wait to see him in this.

I also found them the weakest so far, especially since the preceding two with Mi-hyun and Doo-shik were excellent in my book. But I just don't care too much about gangster stuff lol

The BL elements are between two high school students, one of whom possessed by the gangster. Also your generalization of BLs is both gross and inaccurate, and reeks of homophobia.

Definitely not watching this. Will not encourage this kind of straightwashing of BL source material.

Just terrible to straightwash a BL like this, but also not surprising that they would do it. I will not be watching, and I hope the drama will do poorly. I don't blame the actors, but it's just not right.

I can't quite explain it but the actor who plays Doo-shik reminds me so much of Park Bo-gum. Like he could totally play his older brother or father (just 12 years between them but still) in a drama lol

Do we know how many episodes? 16?
