Everyone can make a mistake like this. It's clear many were just waiting to jump on him for daring to portray a minority in a conservative as hell country. Maybe worry about your corrupt politicians and your democracy crumbling rather than someone mistakenly posting something to their IG story.

Slice of life dramas are generally known for having less elaborate plots, happily following the characters in their daily lives, dealing with trouble at work, trying to reach their goals, falling in and out of love. Some find it boring, while others love it. It depends on what you like.

Confirmed to be 12 episodes (as opposed to 16 which was what was stated originally.)

Most realistic dramas with mature themes and characters are underrated on MDL, nothing new.

I finally thought Kang Hoon would get his chance to be ML since he was the first actor linked to and confirmed for this project ages ago, but now it seems like he'll actually be SML once again... 🙃

Currently tentatively scheduled for June 2025. Filming is still ongoing.

They started in June and just finished today/yesterday.

Black Salt Dragon does not sound like a romcom, which is likely why they changed the name. In English the native Korean title makes little sense and gives no indication of what the drama is about. Some would maybe get associations to Six Flying Dragons, which is a very different drama. I agree that the "My X Y" titles are overused though. At least it's not "My Lovely Nemesis". 🤣

Yes, filming just wrapped. Scheduled for February. There's been a bit back and forth on whether it's 16 or 12 episodes, but it looks like it'll be 12. Makes most sense with length of filming, too.

Now that Squid Game 2 promo is mostly done I'm gonna need some casting news.

He already prepared fans for that in interviews, saying he didn't film that much for S2 and S3, and he was also doing Worst of Evil promo and filming Midnight Romance in Hagwon at the time.

Sangmin choosing yet another age-gap noona romcom after two flops. Hope third time's the charm!

Insane to not have Love in the Big City on the list. Kim Go Eun was equally excellent there as in Exhuma. It was well-received by audiences, won two Blue Dragon Film Awards and pushed the envelope of mainstream Korean cinema in a conservative environment.

But the exclusion of Escape as well tells me what I need to know about the motivation.

Hwang Jun Ho, how I missed you so 😍

It wasn't really the plan to make S2, so it hasn't been in the works that long. The writer said they had written it recently and the OG cast liked the scripts and agreed to reprise their roles.

Ah, so this was why he turned down the offer to appear in Signal 2 - makes sense.

Nope, it’s on Disney+.

Wooshik is a busy boy. Three upcoming dramas, at least two of which should release in 2025 🥰

Can't wait to see one of my favorite established actors (Lee Je-hoon) act opposite one of my favorite rookies (Cha Kang-yoon). Hope their characters will have a fun mentor-student dynamic.

It looks good in action! JTBC released a teaser. Seems Ahn Pan-seok grew fond of cool grey-haired characters after doing the same to Seo Jung-yeon in Midnight Romance in Hagwon.
