Why y’all thinking every upcoming K-drama will be cringy?😭! Relax, it won't be like this!
It's also a somewhat funny thing to be worried about considering one of the things Korean dramas are *most* famous for, is being a bit cringy. And some of the most popular romcoms from Korea lean quite heavily on cringe comedy.
That's actually more than Netflix originals usually get.
It was the same for Gyeongseong Creature S1, I think. That wasn't announced as releasing in two parts (7 eps first then then last 3 two weeks later) until when the poster/teaser came out.
It's of course possible they will release it all at once; it's just that they've never done that before so I'm a bit skeptical.

I guess we'll see. They've never released that many episodes at once for a Korean original. Their main objective is to keep subscribers around, and if they split it, they make sure those subscribers stick around to watch the rest. If they want to do it, they won't care if a month is "full".

I said more than Netflix originals *usually* get.
If you look at last year, most had 6-8 episodes, including Parsyte: The Grey (6), Hierarchy (7), The 8 Show (8), The Trunk (8), The Frog (8), A Killer Paradox (8) etc.
As in never happening this year. Yoo Ah-in's scandal is too fresh, with his sentencing set for February. Righteous netizens would never allow it. They'll kick up a fuss and the distributor will get scared and postpone it again.
around 50-60% of the k drama comes with a weekly format, not all drama are released together. It is not new thing.
Not true for Netflix originals. The ones that come out weekly are the ones Netflix license from Korean broadcasters. Netflix originals always come out all episodes at once (or in two parts).
Not sure why you would compare to Hierarchy, a drama that did not air on TV on account of being a Netflix original,…
It didn't, based on the numbers. It hit #1 on the non-English global chart and outperformed several other Netflix originals last year, including The 8 Show.
In June alone (the month of release) it logged over 100 million viewing hours and more than 13 million completed viewings. And that's just based on about 3 weeks of viewer data released by Netflix for the first half of 2024.
It did far better than what WTSG is currently doing.
