I think most people would agree her scripts are what made MLFTS and CLOY the phenomenons they were so the OP’s perspective was baffling to me. The writer doesn’t need to improve: she has proved herself to be a hit machine.
“Remarkable in the artistic sense” doesn’t make much sense to me. It’s really hard to make hugely successful mainstream fare these days. If people want to turn their nose up at it because it’s not “artistic” enough for them that’s none of my business.

Not sure where this idea of the script being bad is coming from. Multiple of her wildly successful scripts were nominated in the Baeksang category for screenplay and simply wouldn’t be as popular as they are if they didn’t work for audiences.
The list is from February and all the entries have been correct so far. You are listing Netflix originals. The list is simulcast tvN dramas on Netflix global. And as I said, all have been correct so far this year.
Perfectly normal schedule for terrestrial dramas. The currently airing drama in the slot, Law and the City, finished…
They didn’t have to rush filming. They started in January as planned, maybe couple of weeks after the initial plan at most. And they don’t wait until filming is over to start editing and do post-production. Dramas used to premiere while still filming (and even adjust the script based on audience reactions). This is nothing lol
Feels rushed and it looks like they are still filming
Perfectly normal schedule for terrestrial dramas. The currently airing drama in the slot, Law and the City, finished filming last month, with almost the exact same production window as this drama. I guess people are becoming used to OTT dramas taking forever to come out.
Looks like Ep 7 will set a new ratings record on tvN as the reported real-time rating was much higher in than usual. Shows that word of mouth is doing its thing, which is well deserved.
I'm kind of assuming, based on nothing but the summary, that this might have similar vibes to Your Name Engraved…
I hope so! There were some really great visuals in that, some even reminiscent of peak Wong Kar-wai in its use of colors. But I think this will be a bit more mature, probably.
No hate just genuinely curious: did BWS star in any popular project except lovely runner? Also isn't lovely runner…
Yes, 20th Century Girl was very popular, as was his villain turn in Strong Girl Namsoon. Netflix probably don't consider it very risky on account of his current popularity. Acting is acting, and most actors will explore different genres as their career develops.
My biggest issue with Hotel del Luna was the lack of romantic chemistry between IU and Yeo Jin-goo (she had much better chemistry with Lee Do-hyun which kind of sank the drama for me). This isn't a sequel but seems to be set in the same universe. Hopefully the ML/FL chemistry works better in this!
Well sad news is that he acts like this one doesn't exist
Actually you just made that up. He spoke about it as recently as this year, in relation to the queer character he played in The Tale of Lady Ok. He talked about how he didn't feel pressure with Ok, because his debut drama was a queer drama, which was very precious to him and that he's proud of it.
