Tom

He's enlisting in July so that seems unlikely, unless they wait until 2027.

New title:
The Boy in the Last Row ===> Notes from the Last Row

The English title is now "Notes from the Last Row".

"They don't match" is just your personal opinion. I think they match perfectly. PSH was too old to portray the Joseon tyrant the ML is based on, who ascended the throne at 18 and ruled through his 20s. For those of us who love noona dramas, this is shaping up to be a visual feast (in more ways than one).

They started filming in January and will finish next month. Pretty standard filming period for 12-episode dramas. Then they'll have over a month for post-production.

Why would you think that? He's never main lead.

The tyrant king showing some skin 👀

This is essentially an industry-wide problem at this point, with production costs ballooning and producers looking to cut costs wherever they can. More pronounced on big productions like this.

There are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes, and people in the comment section on MDL turning on a romance drama the second an annoying ex or a love triangle is introduced.

Seems they had a script reading yesterday. Should be done by the end of the year for early 2026 release.

Finally Hyoseop drama comeback 🙏

Silly thing to say before the drama has even premiered. Have you read the script?

This has (thankfully) been moved from a Wed-Thu slot to a weekend slot. Confirmed to premiere in the second half on 2025, most likely towards the end of the year (last weekend drama to premiere in 2025).

Q4 2025

Excited about this! It should start filming soon, so I'm guessing Q1/Q2 2026 release.

It was just the direct translation of the Korean title. Was never gonna be the English title.

Just Netflix things. Trauma Code and Weak Hero 2 didn't even have release dates at the start of the month they were released in. So it'll probably still take a while.

It's Netflix. Nothing's going to happen until like July probably.

What is this new English title? The Tyrant's Chef was SO much better than this goofy ass title.
I guess since it's a comedy they wanted a more ... comedic title, but this is just a bit too silly😭

First half of 2026 is starting to fill up for Disney as well, so it's gonna be while either way. Supposedly they didn't even finish filming Season 2 before everything was put on hold either.
