agreed, especially since a lot of the character set up was the usual stock characters, shitty ex, meddlesome greedy…
They had to shove the childhood connection in there too. I like clichés in my romcoms, but sometimes I wish they'd shake it up a little bit from the template.
Ep2 was weaker than Ep1, they spent way too long getting to the point when it was obvious early on that she'd use the design contract as leverage. Mostly another episode of setup. But still pretty good!
I mean if you don't like the fake contract marriage trope then you probably should not watch a drama in which that trope is the premise of the drama. Kind of goes without saying.
Near-perfect first episode for me. Nothing revolutionary, but the cast is great and the set-up is good. I even enjoyed the jerk of an ex-fiancé. And Bae Na Ra as a hot villain again! Can't wait for more.
(It should be said that I also rather enjoyed the first four episodes of Love Next Door before things took a turn and it got really bad for me, so I'm not counting my chickens just yet. But great start!)
There should be one, but MDL admins are refusing to approve it. It's listed as a romantic drama on Netflix and creators have already said there will be slight romance (but not main genre).
pretty sure this will be very good, but it's weekend Tvn drama and most of those air on Netflix international...…
Poor Netflix must have questioned their decisions after When the Stars Gossip and The Potato Lab at the start of the year. Thankfully it got a lot better.
Looks like filming is done. PSJ confirmed he finished his last shoot. Scheduled for release on JTBC on weekends in December, after The Dream Life of Mr Kim concludes on Nov 30.
Is it strange that they aired this week with Chuseok? Or is that normal? Seems the ratings dipped quite a bit. Maybe it's this week they should have taken off instead of next week.
Lee Chaemin did well in this drama, but the level of praise surrounding his performance feels disproportionate…
It's not surprising that his performance has been hyped when: 1. He had little time to prepare as a last-minute replacement 2. People had low expectations to what a "rookie" could do in the role 3. The drama itself was a massive global hit and thus was itself very hyped
I think he did very well and I'm glad he's getting praised for it. I don't care too much about whether it's "too much hype" or not, but I'm excited that it will give him new possibilities.
It’s also time to book an appointment with the ophthalmologist
Alas there's no world in which Steve isn't a million times hotter than Woobin and Eunjin isn't a much better actress than Suzy. No matter which eye doctor you see.
