What a basic plot, can Korean writers be original?
Not every plot needs to be original. The story of a second chance at love is a classic and has been for centuries - for a reason. If you don't want that, you can always just pick another drama.
Yun Ji-on is beautiful, booked and busy. Next he's got a main role (SML) in Netflix + tvN weekend drama 'Love Next Door', which looks destined to be a big hit.
It's a well-established concept in Korea. They tried to reflect it in the English title at first, with Golden Boy (the mom's friend's son is a "golden boy" that your mom always compares you to), but it seems they decided it didn't translate well enough, so they went with Love Next Door.
I'm a new Lee Je-hoon fan after watching Move to Heaven recently. I still haven't seen Signal, but have only heard great things, so I look forward to checking it out before S2 comes out next year!
then don't watch it? critic is fine, but ypu shouldn't do it beforehand to a drama where the cast already gets…
Telling people who liked ATCY they have “bad opinions” is the definition of “blind hate” and absolute nonsense as well. And your original post is totally colored by the character dynamics and writing of the original, when the adaptation may well have a different approach to the characters which would render most of your post moot. Not to mention that adaptations in general tend not to be for people who are very attached to the original work—that’s just common sense.
Worst cast for Director. Saw the shooting pics today.. They tried hard to make him look like a boss but he doesn't…
In the webtoon he was in middle school when they met in the game, so he can be in his late 20s. Also he is a director by virtue of chaebol nepotism; him being young is the point and I’m sure it’ll be funny.
Do we know if "special appearance" just means a cameo or could it mean a guest arc? Like with cameo I'm thinking just a couple of scenes at most, but guest a bit more like having an arc in 1-2 episodes.
First Love in the Big City, now this? Really happy we're getting more mature gay romance dramas, that aren't all fluff, but actually authentic portrayals of gay life. Love the international approach, too.
