How do you spend 5+ years and 60-70 billion won on a drama with a dead on arrival script? Where is the quality control? Heads are gonna roll at CJ ENM and Studio Dragon after this colossal failure.

It should be fine. The Baeksang eligibility window does not follow the calendar year, but goes from April 1st to March 31st. The last eps of WLGYT air March 28th.

They don’t really mention their ages so it doesn’t matter much. But the production really didn’t need to make the time jump in the first episode so big, like for what reason 😭

Absolutely shameless to try and capitalize on someone's death and release this. If the production company wanted to release it, they could have done so while she was still alive. Unbelievable.

It did underwhelm globally on Netflix in terms of points on Flixpatrol, but it's too soon to call it a "flop". We'll know more when Netflix drops the viewership numbers for the first half of 2025.

Four episodes each Friday in March.

Well, the drama has to at least be eligible for it to have a chance, hence why I was wondering about the cut-off date for eligibility. :)

I am unreasonably excited about this drama. Looks like it could be an all-timer.

I love Bogum in everything, but found him especially good in Love in the Moonlight, for which he was also nominated for Best Actor at the Baeksang Awards that year.

What webtoon? Nowhere have I seen any info that this is based on a webtoon.

I really hope this is a hit, but Disney+ doesn't have the best track record, with the exception of Moving. Hopefully they will spend a lot on promotion. Splitting it into two seasons is probably smart, because it gives more people the chance to discover the drama in the interim, who will then be seated for S2.

People generally change a little from their early 20s to their mid-30s.

Does anyone know if the cut-off date for the Baeksang Awards is always March 31st? I hope so, because then this drama will just manage to air all its episodes before that, since it's ending on March 28th.

I'm still confused about the second couple. I didn't understand SFL. She didn't want to get back together, yet she showed up in SML's life again as if it was nothing, despite blindsiding him with the breakup.

Then she apparently thought they shouldn't get back together because he was selfish? But she pretended to like all the same things as him (Star Wars, football, legos etc.) so how was he meant to know that he was being "selfish" when he just thought that they had the same taste in these things?

Also he's the selfish one but she's the one who exploited their relationship to write a screenplay and then just reappeared in his life to make him write the music, despite him still not being over her/the breakup?

The puzzle pieces just didn't really fit together for me on a script level.

Comment sections on MDL are almost always a nightmare while a drama is airing. It's best right after new episodes have aired, and then more miserable people trickle in as the week goes on.

So often the complaints are nonsensical, too. "It's cringy" - yes, it's a romcom, that is literally part of the genre. "The ML is too young" - no, that is actually the entire point. "I don't like the age gap" - ok, so why choose to watch a noona romance then? Like please give us a break.

The pre-release for ep 3 has me so excited! Can't wait for them to realize they're 🍓🐉

I often struggle with understanding Netflix's priorities when it comes to Korean content.

War is over at last

The drama is flopping on both tvN and Netflix so why are you surprised that the rating is low?

Your opinion is contradicted by the drama itself though. They cast someone young *because* the character is supposed to be childish and immature, as well as younger than the FL. You may not like it, but it's very much the point and done deliberately by the producers and director of the drama.
