Art of negotiation has ...such low rating on MDL that I am surprised by this.I trust korean rankings more though.…
Many people are perfectly happy with two episodes per week. Most of us have jobs, and can't spend our time binge-watching dramas. The typical Chinese scheduling with episodes virtually every day doesn't work for everyone. This drama also has very long episodes, the recent one nearly 90 minutes (essentially movie length), so spacing them out across six weeks is good, especially since people generally are following other dramas as well concurrently.
It's telling that even Netflix can be seen moving from releasing all episodes at once to experimenting more with weekly drops, like the scheduling for When Life Gives You Tangerines. Not only do the dramas have more time for promo, but they also stay longer in people's minds.
Disney+ have a solid Korean slate this year, so they'll likely just postpone this for now and shuffle something else forward, if possible (talents' schedules permitting and such), or stick to the current scheduling with a gap in April. I'm interested to see how long they'll wait until making a statement.
He recently did a film and now he's returning to romcom dramas.
I assume you mean "satirical", but no - there is in fact nothing satirical about you asking what the article means by a "return to rom-coms" when it's quite clear, considering his last romantic comedy was Business Proposal and he's done two dramas and a film in other genres since then.
He recently did a film and now he's returning to romcom dramas.
His last two dramas were also A Time Called You and Dr. Romantic 3, neither of which were romcoms. Seems you're unfamiliar with his career.
Of course, if your definition of "rom-com" is "any drama with romance regardless if it's a thriller or a medical drama" and not "romantic comedy" I do understand your confusion.
But it seems rather silly to attack the article writer because you have created an alternative meaning of the rather specific romantic comedy genre.
Quite surprising that he didn't filmed a drama after 2023, wasting his peak
I don't know what's taken him so long to pick a new drama. He was done shooting the movie he worked on almost a year ago. Last fall he was offered the new drama from the Lovely Runner director, where he'd play a taekwondo athlete or something, but he must have rejected that.
