Take heart that as per Wikipedia, this drama is ranked No.1 in South Korea since Ep 3 by Nielsen rating company.

So, who do you suggest should have been the ML, instead of Koo Kyo Wan.?

Fyi, KKW is the ML in the film, Once We Were Us, which was a box office hit recently.

HDM talked too much bc he was anxious of the people around him who hated him and they hated him bc their debut films were based on his life stories, not on their own writing talent.

So, talentless people should avoid using another for selfish purposes and then hating him after doing so.

According to the Bible, the supernatural events is more like God coming to the defense of the weak and poor Eun A against her evil tormentors or persecutors - Matthew5's Sermon on the Mount, Romans12:19-21's vengeance of God.

Maybe the writer's main focus is on the characters' conduct or actions in life, eg IRL, there is no more hot kissing romance when a couple are >80 years old.

That's why some co-stars have gone on to become married, eg Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin but why Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Gyo divorced.?

Afaik, HDM challenged the loanshark to be more creative in evilness bc HJ had told him to change his debut film's protagonists to be more evil. Indirectly, HJ solved his loanshark problem. A similar case to "What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for good (Genesis 50:20)."
... In the end, HJ told him to just change the protagonist to be stronger.

Yes, bc Eun A only read HDM's script on her own time, ie after working hours and not on his company's time, eg she read it not from 9am-5pm.

Some kdrama co-stars have gone on to become married, eg Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin. So, Jang Mi Ran crushing over her co-star can be real.

His debut movie will likely be a hit bc he has overcome his fears/worries and the Preview seems to point towards it, eg superstar Noh will likely be starring in his debut movie.

So, HDM overcame his fears by being CARDIGANed in Eun A's bosom. lol

She comforted him by assuring him that if he decides to, she will help him run away from his fears (= not do the film) at any time and then hide from society together, eg they move to a small town like Deokpong Village.
....... Similarly, Christians do not fear persecution or martyrdom by powerful governments bc they have the assurance of eternal life after death.
.

IRL, according to the Bible, Christians and Jews overcome their fears or worries by keeping God's Law, esp His moral laws - Deuteronomy28, Romans2, Proverbs1, 1John5:18, Acts15:28-29. It's like law-abiding people have no need to fear the powerful Police or govt, ie only criminals/law-breakers and offenders are fearful as such.
....... God/Jesus can forgive unintentional sins or law-breakings but usually not intentional sins (= curses or calamities or judgment follow, eg convicted murderers executed). It's like the President of USA or Kings today can pardon convicted criminals.

If IRL, HDM hating on the other directors' film bc of his anxiety caused by their hate for him, is an unintentional sin = can be forgiven by God when repented of = no curses follow.

@etoks21 lol

"Fyi, HJ will be producing HDM's debut film with the 3 billion won (abt US$3 million) govt grant money, not with her own money."

"GEMINI AI Overview:

Government grant money does not fully "belong" to the grantee in the sense of unconditional personal ownership. While grants generally do not have to be repaid, they are awarded for specific purposes and come with strict conditions regarding their use."

Are you saying HJ knew she was self-destructive when she asked CEO Choi to help her cast superstar Noh, eg by giving Choi the script.?

Also wrong. Early in the show (Ep 2) he barged into the club and threw his drinking glass at one of the bully directors (wearing glasses who called DM an idiot) but missed. Later one, he beats up DM outside the club.

No, they hv not been friends with HDM since about 20 yrs ago. Their hate and belittling of HDM caused him to be anxious around them, resulting in him running his mouth off without much thinking, like in a chronic panic attack.

The 8 Club is a college alumni. In college, they were in the same class majoring in film. HDM and Park Gyeong Se were buddies and roommates in college. They graduated and things changed after PGS's film debut.

HDM told Park Gyeong Se that he hates him bc PGS first hated him. Do you know why PGS first started hating HDM.? It has something to do with PGS's successful debut film 20 years ago.

In the court of law, the judge is not the villain for sentencing a convicted murderer to death, in the name of justice for the victim. The villain is the murderer who first murdered another, eg bc of hate, greed, jealousy, etc, not the judge who then "murders" or executes him.

So, the villain is PGS and his wife, not HDM for getting anxious --> mouth-running bc they and the others in the 8 Club hv hated him for years.

Another lookalike is Leucocoprinus fragilissimus which is also found in East Asia. Maybe it's called White Nuri mushroom in South Korea.

Seems the screenwriter, Park Hae Young, has infused some Christian messages in her dramas, eg in My Liberation Notes, a billboard with the words, "Something Good Will Happen To You Today", based on Mark6:50, often appeared during Mi Jeong's train commute to her workplace.

Misplaced trust can be a self-destructive act, eg retirees being scammed of their life savings by trusting random phone callers, being scammed and raped by cults (eg the Netflix docu: In The Name Of God: A Holy Betrayal), etc.

DM's brother punched people outside her pub, not inside. Wasn't it pointless for her to ban DM's brother from entering her pub.?
