No, Netflix original Korean series are usually around 6-8 episodes. Most of them, really. DP, Hellbound, Bloodhounds, A Killer Paradox, The 8 Show, Parasyte: The Grey ... the list goes on.
Why are we talking about sex scenes again? There's not going to be sex scenes in a Korean high school drama portraying teens. That just isn't happening, nor is it listed in the rating advisory. Netflix always toe the line with Korea and don't want to create waves. Like how they easily could have released Goodbye Earth without re-editing it, but again they bent to Korean culture. This won't be any different. At most there will be some kissing on a bed (mostly clothed) and a cut to next morning.
As far as I know, I read somewhere that it is a limited series. So limited series don't renew for new seasons.
They do if they're successful. Plenty of Netflix originals that were initially branded as limited series were renewed for Season 2. It's not just Netflix either. Shogun on FX was released as a limited series and is now renewed for Season 2 and 3.
Based on the characters description,BoAh is female lead and KSE is support lead https://x.com/soohyunupdates/status/1793560370751455248
Seems a bit strange, considering KSE was announced first? Does that happen with support leads? I wonder if BoAh is getting the billing due to seniority, but that KSE will end up having more screen time due to being partners with KSH. But we'll see!
Do you guys think it will have romance between the leads?
Probably not. It seems they'll be business partners, and whatever focus there will be on (past) romance will likely be related to Kim Soo-hyun's character and his ex, played by Jo Bo-ah. But it's a black comedy drama and not a romance drama, so I wouldn't expect much.
Si-woo is so adorable! I hope we see more of him and that he'll be a student they'll follow all the way to university admissions. They seemed to hint at that with the parallels with Jun-ho. Loving this so far!
It's such an interesting cultural difference that Koreans seem to expect that their reality is not portrayed in any media. Driving after having a beer or a bit of soju is super common. Accidents related to DUIs are super common. The character in this drama was distraught after being attacked left and right, and probably wouldn't even think of how she had some soju hours earlier. But because it's "bad behavior" it can't be portrayed, despite its realism? It takes some getting used to all this outrage about everything.
Loving Midnight Romance in Hagwon! It was back up in ratings for episode four to about what it was for the first two episodes. Guessing the Saturday drop was in part due to Chief Detective 1958's finale.
Good lord for god's sake please make jo bo ah the main female lead
Based on the story that wouldn't really make sense. She's Kim Soohyun's ex/first love, while Kim Shieun is his current business partner, so it's natural that she would be the main FL.

But generally their K-content channel is used for promotion.
