Is there a good plot other than bullies bullying and then getting their asses kicked? Like is the satisfaction of seeing the bullies getting their comeuppance the gist here, or is there more to the drama as well?

I watched for AHS and would say it's just about worth it. But I found the script to be lacking.

Well it's actually correct in terms of the actors too. Choi Min-sik watched Choi Hyun-wook's audition and was so impressed by his talent that he invited him out for a meal after.

(But also these headlines are obviously because people don't know the character names)

Excited to see more of Mingi next week 🤗

They had good chemistry on Hyeri's talk show thing when Inyoup was doing Family by Choice promo.

I had hoped this would be the start of something with KBLs, because it's obviously in a league of its own (being adapted from a Booker-nominated novel helps). But unfortunately it seems like it was a miracle not to be repeated. Instead we're still stuck with low-quality cheap dramas with short episodes.

Everything about the drama is kept tightly under wraps. We only know that it's a historical romance, possibly with fantasy elements. No synopsis exists yet.

They definitely seem to have misjudged the tone of the local hospital staff. It's fun when they're a bit strict and sassy, but here they just seem rude and unwelcoming, which is less fun.

It's a joke. Because he's hot. Lighten up

The most unrealistic part of this drama is that FL would somehow not remember Hong Min Gi

I feel like they could come up with a better English title than Final Table. At least it's just a working title.

Then don't?

Everyone's ... kind of annoying? Is this intentional? Maybe I was just grumpy when watching ep 2 🤣

The first episode was funny and a good setup for the rest of the drama. But I did think it lacked some warmth and heart. The lighting was also kind of dull. Hopefully the drama will become more emotionally involving as it goes.

He very much is. A plastic surgeon serving as a public health doctor.

It says in the synopsis that he is a plastic surgeon but he is sent to the island as a "public health doctor" as part of his military service. So it seems clear that he'll be working in a more general capacity rather than with his speciality.

I wanted to love this, and I did enjoy it for the most part, though more so in the first half. But the writing simply wasn't up to par. The entire L'Etoile story could have been removed altogether and they could have spent more time on the villagers instead. Eric was never a love rival, and I'm not sure why we were meant to care about the whole thing with him and Michelle. It just felt like a distraction to me.

I especially struggled with the final two episodes. We spent way too much time on the villain in something I feel like should have been resolved earlier, because I really did not need endless scenes of him being annoying and then trying to kill himself. There was so little screen time for the main couple together and it was really weird. We spent so much time on all the other characters, tying up their little stories, that it almost felt like the main relationship was an afterthought for a large part of it.

I am intrigued to see what this turns out to be, after Choi Hyun-wook, Lee Jong-suk and Go Min-si all rejected the offers they received - and then the director left, too! Maybe the script has been retooled.

No, it's a suspense thriller.

Much too soon to tell from a ten-second snippet of a scene where we don't even know the context or whether they even know each other yet.

Besides, Ahn Pan-seok romances always have great chemistry, so I have faith.
