Excellent acting, excellent music.

Astonishing weak first 2 episodes. Could it go up? The previous the series were able to keep the level of the first third of their time before crashing lamentably. No chance to approach the level of "Once again" in the near future?

I gave up after 6 episodes of about 85 minutes each of slapstick comedy. Maybe later is better, but I lost interest for now.

and with bad English subs, too, as usual on NX. Irony? No, just sadness.

The writers/editors/directors/producers don not care about 'details' like consistency, credibility, etc. In my opinion they are tarnishing the excellent work done by the actors and some other teams as make up, camera, etc. Since a large part of the viewers do not mind, the quality of the end product is as such. NX just wants to maximize the flow, nobody cares about quality.

Who needs writers, when the actors do their job? Maybe they should have done it all.

Excellent acting, not only by the three female leads, but also the less important roles are played very professionally. The music is excellent, one of my top lists. Who needs then a story? As usual, the writing is by far the weak point.

The quality control at NX is still so low. A small effort in quality control could improve a lot and spare some other non-sense that wastes resources. But if they care only about quantity and flow....

:-)

Professional writing is different. Would the make up team skip the work on one of the leads for some scenes? They would be fired on the place.

Fly from Korea to Canada West Coast and nobody has any jet-lag at all?
You see how much care was taken by the writers.

cool if true!

It is bad writing, because the main line is clear during or after the first episode. Saw the first? Move to the next drama. The pity is that the short scenes are great. Yet a sum of great short scenes does not necessarily make a good show, more often they make an overall bad one. Not the first case, unfortunately.

Showing the Korean perspective on the Japanese actor is hilarious.

Nice that they show a lot of views in nature. I am curious, how much was filmed really in those places or it is 99% green screen. I am afraid, the latter is true...

The English translations of the Japanese spoken parts are incredible bad. Unacceptable.

No, the subs are indeed of very poor quality and this is rather the rule nowadays at NX; they do not want to decently pay real people to translate, but believe blindly in the AI, which fails miserably at art; actually even amatory human fan translations are usually better. I am not speaking about the statistical correctness (which has zero relevance), but about the right nuance at the right time.

NX relies much to much on automatic translation; they do not want to decently pay people to translate, hence the subs are very often (not only in this case) quite bad, sometimes with unacceptable mistakes, especially when dealing with languages that aren't closely related. Human even amatory fan translation are usually much better.

Why "as expected": because most writers are not able to cope with the quality of the actors they have nowadays.

The writing of the first episode is poor. Should I write "as expected"?

Now I understand the logic of throwing all episodes at once. Would it be once a week it is highly questionable to watch any further.
