Tattoo's are pretty much only for criminals in kdramas so the negative connotations aren't new.
True, but it seemed an oddly conservative choice for a drama that in other aspects have seemed a bit more modern-thinking. Usually being a single father has been a big "taboo" in kdramas as well, like in One Spring Night, but Mo-eum didn't really bat an eye about that, so I'm not sure why tattoos would throw her off, especially on the job.
Did anyone else catch the odd anti-tattoos scene with the paramedics and the guy in anaphylactic shock? They were gonna find a vein and then when he had sleeve tattoos they kind of just looked at each other and sighed? It was weird. Every paramedic knows palpation and how to use touch to find a non-visible vein, it’s standard? Many people without tattoos also have veins that are hard to spot for various reasons.
in the midnight romance in hagwon era he said he will take a break because it's been a long time since he didn't…
I hope he'll be able to do Squid Game 2 press since he wasn't able to for the first season because he had two other projects filming at that time. But I also want casting news 😭
Rewatched episode 8 and I'm feeling better about it than I did last weekend. Hoping for some healthy progress this weekend (and please some screentime for the second couple too) 🤞😊
Ksh means not success romance equal success, my favourite KSH drama one ordinary day literally his best acting…
One Ordinary Day was not on a channel/OTT that lent itself to popular success, and it's also a much more quiet character drama than what Knock Off will be. It's a huge big-budget 18-episode production with a massively stacked cast. It should have every opportunity to be a hit at least the size of Moving. But they have to promote it well.
But as of now, Disney+ has a lot of improvement potential in terms of promo. At least they have understood they can't just throw a bunch of stuff at the wall to see what sticks, and have scaled down their efforts. Fewer, better dramas is the way to go.
Hopefully Disney+ get better at promoting their Korean dramas next year. If they can't make a hit out of a drama with Kim Soo-hyun in the lead, they may as well give up altogether.
Hopefully this will start filming before the end of the year or early next year. Lee Je-hoon is about to wrap on the new Ahn Pan-soek drama, and they should get this done before he does Signal 2.
I had a feeling before this even started that it was a bad idea to cast Yoon Park as SML next to a young, inexperienced ML. He is always excellent and funny and charming. Need him as ML next.
So misleading to lead with "drops in Netflix rankings" when it actually went up from 3.0 to 3.7 million viewers. The drop in ranking is solely related to other new releases, not LND's own performance.
It would be great if her ex could just leave her alone and stop showing up out of the blue It’s really frustrating
The whole thing with the ex is so weird because we don't have the full picture. There's so much information that's missing. And it didn't help that they cast someone who gives off psycho vibes.
I don't mind the cancer story in itself, but I'm struggling to suspend my disbelief about Seokryu, who was so close with Moeum and Seunghyo before leaving for Berkeley, not even contacting either of them upon receiving a serious diagnosis and undergoing surgery, with the risks that follow, and then chemotherapy. She could've died on the operating table, and nobody at home knew anything. No emergency contact being contacted at home, nothing about the crazy expenses related to medical assistance and treatment in America, just kept entirely under wraps. I have a hard time with buying all of that.
Especially when there are so many ways they could have done a story very similar to this, without the shock factor of cancer, whether depression, workplace issues (we know she had them), racism and so on.
6.5% Sunday TV rating. Lowest Sunday rating since episode 2. Much higher than yesterday at least, which was a series low opposite a strong Good Partner.

And it was the wedding invitation he had in the car; it had both her and the ex's name on it.
