I don't know why the rating is so high, this is just a cheesy soap opera
Are you new? Koreans (and many international fans) love their makjang. And I don't think "cheesy" is right at all. Sure, it's soapy. But it's also thrilling and fun and well-acted.
Waouh. The trailer is wild. It's either VERY misleading or they changed the focus of the story. I read the manhwa…
I don't think it's meant to be misleading as much as not wanting to give too much away. I mean, the very first scene in the trailer is Heesu finding the carrot juice that Seungwon left for him. But they can't spoil the actual confessing in a trailer, obviously. So they establish Heesu's story with him as the "dating advice guy", even though he himself struggles with letting his feelings out and dealing with his own crush. But still they tease the confession in the end.
My biggest issue with the trailer is that it's poorly put together. And that it doesn't even make clear that Heesu is gay is a disservice. But I'm not gonna judge a drama on a badly cut trailer. It seems pretty clear to me that we're getting Heesu's love story just as we want, and I don't mind that there's a secondary straight couple. They seem cute. I liked the Normal People reference.
That sounds like a you problem and your lack of sources. i have downloaded all the shows under u+ tv that are…
Well, they were gibberish to most of us, and so it was not worth watching the drama with them. But yeah, some "official" subs are really bad too. Most recently Gaga's subtitles for Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo which were clearly machine translated (and so much got lost in translation); thankfully iQIYI had proper official subs for that.
is it not more likely for them to just cancel the second season and put out the first quietly(as in no extensive…
The problem is that the drama isn’t really “two seasons”. It’s one 18-episode story split into two. So just releasing the first 9 episodes would essentially just be releasing half a story. They could still do this of course, to try and at least recoup some of the money, but it seems unlikely.
I’m guessing they will point to the other actors and hundreds of staffs and say they will finish filming of S2 to be considerate of all of them. And then they’ll postpone both seasons to 2026 or something in the hope that things quiet down or other things come to light. Which then could mean the drama will never see the light of day. But who knows.
There is no way Knock Off will be able to come out in April/May. But Disney are in a pickle, because the drama is still filming, with over a month left to go. Either they have to halt filming and can the whole thing (unlikely because money) or they'll have to push through with filming and postpone the release (more likely because money). But there's no way they can start promo this month in the current environment. Reshoots with another actor in the main role would also be too expensive and time-consuming.
(Obviously what happens to the drama is among the least important factors in this whole mess. The full truth must come out and KSH must face the consequences of his actions if this is how it looks.)
Probably bittersweet, which it's tagged as on Netflix. It's a drama rooted in realism, so there won't be a fluffy happy ever after ending, but probably more happy than sad, I would guess.
Oh dear, that Potato Lab rating. This is another weekend disaster for tvN. Thankfully their next one up is Resident Playbook, which should be a winner as both a medical drama and a spin-off of a popular drama.
This seems like Lee Chae Min's possible breakout drama. He's worked hard to get here. Wishing the best
If not this, then certainly The Tyrant's Chef later this year. Last-minute casting in a high-profile weekend drama on tvN that will be simulcast on Netflix weekly. That will be his big test.
"They need to stop with these" is not simply a personal preference (à la "I don't like it" or "I won't watch it"), it's a suggestion that your taste should dictate which dramas get made—if that was not your intended message, then that's great.
can i ask something why 4 episodes coming out together im js confused
Netflix generally don't release originals all at once when they're more than 10-12 episodes. Usually they will split them in two, like they did with The Glory. But because of its structure, WLGYT is split into four, with four episodes for each season (spring, summer, fall, winter).
The budget is very high, so it seems likely that they also selected this release schedule as a way to try and build anticipation from week to week to improve its chances of becoming a hit.
Nah, you just gotta stop paying attention to dramas with tropes you don’t like. Plenty of us enjoy dramas where the lead has several suitors vying for her attention.
I don't think it's a good idea to choose dramas using a benchmark rating, but to each their own.
Your guess is as good as mine. Some people clearly have too much time on their hands. Other new dramas started as low as 5.5 before the rating normalized.

Especially not now, when most new Korean dramas are being downvoted the second ratings open. This was 7.7 hours ago, now it's 8.3. It'll probably go up even more.

"Season 2 of the Wave series 'Weak Hero' is also set to premiere on Netflix next month."
New still cuts - this looks so bright and fun. Perfect for spring. 🫶
