Didn't they say s3 would go just as shown in the crazy ending to season 2? Maybe I misunderstood but now I'm just waiting to see how they make that happen. I hope we get to know how much work Dong Ma actor put to show all those abs and for how long he dieted hahaha yes it's a feast but the work and effort required for that one scene must be pretty insane.

The 3 actors that left, I think they chose to get off the series. They knew their characters would turn more disgusting. It would not have been right for such good actors. They knew their image would have been tarnished, probably too much. So they would only be offered similar wacky roles in the future. The first two seasons, they proved their excellence in acting, stepping out was the right decision. Hoping for great roles in the future for all 3 of them. Especially Kim Bo Yun, she deserves good badass mom roles for a change.

They really played well. Am glad they're not on board anymore with this craziness.

ending

Psychological thriller is my fave genre and this one's just perfect. Incredible acting by Park Sung Woong (easily one of the greatest actors in the world, ever) and the cat and mouse game between him and Seo In Guk is excellent. Seo In Guk is just right for playing an ambivalent and enigmatic character. He's using small nuances to give intriguing hints and the viewer is hooked on trying to figure out what's really going on in his mind. Jung So Min's acting is good but a little teflonish for such a strong drama, therefore the male leads stand out more. There's romance, murder to be solved, but the main plot is the mystery around the characters. This is very finely written and reveals things slowly. There are no boring moments or unnecessary subplots or meaningless characters. I was totally hooked from start to finish. Beautiful drama, one of the very best k-dramas for me. 9.5.

"found family", aka family theme, no bromance. On the heavier side but with light moments which I enjoy most

The first 2 episodes are pretty boring and confusing but after that it gets much better. Especially when the characters come together in one time dimension and start to slowly to form bonds and trust against all odds. The colours in this drama are amazing.

spoiler alert button is there for a reason.....

started 2 days ago and am completely into it. But it's on the darker side, psychological thriller.

spoiler alert please. I didn't want to know this.

Good article. Especially love the point about trusting my instincts more. Having to skip to a lot of boring scenes to just to finish a drama is not a good use of time. But re. comments, it's actually often good to watch a little bit of a drama from the start and then, if it does not seem immediately catchy, to look at comments sections to see whether it gets better after the first episodes. Because first episodes are often just laying the background, and k-dramas tend to do that in a very thorough manner (which is in a way loveable but often boring). Agree anout King The Eternal Monarch - and yet I've watched it twice! (Why, is a mystery hahaha! But at least I now really appreciate Kim Go Eun's acting since I've really watched). One drama I forced myself to finish is Empress Ki, bc I had already watched more than a half of the episodes when it became too repetitive.

We aren't on the verge of www3. Mainstream media's only function is to scare you. It whips up irrational hysterias. Just stay off.

This is really a sweet slow burn romance drama. But not too slow since we get to enjoy some of the couple's good times as well from early on which I really liked. This is a rare drama in that it doesn't get boring or repetitive at any point. The main couple's romance is quite lovely despite not much chemistry being there. The good thing is that there aren't many plotholes, the bad thing is episode 15 where there's a 2-year time flip. Would have been much better without that, bc it made me loose faith the in the couple. The FL was good at start, but somehow resorted to "cute" childishness toward the end - when she should have been matured by all her experiences and difficulties. Kim Dong Wook is very sympathetic here like always, even if dryish :) But sympathetic-dryish is better than overdramatic or overacting :) The (memory/no memory) plot sounds pretty crazy but that's not the case at all. The social message about the cruelty of the public towards celebrities and excessive interest in their private lives is very much on point. As we have recently witnesses similar things occurring, scandals based on mere lies and rumours and/or impossible moral demands and standards. 8.5 all the way.

Indeed. Great to find people who saw and experienced it the same way.

It was great. Really, almost like a full live theatre show.

Me too, I think 20 mins is enough to see where it's going and am going to drop it.

I liked the earlier seasons for their realism but full blown makjang also taints the first 2 seasons. It was a wise desicion for the three actors who dropped off. They saw this would take a turn for the worst.

Well said. It's all I feared judging from the first half of the first episode. I liked the earlier seasons for their realism but full blown makjang also taints the first 2 seasons. It was a wise desicion for the three actors who dropped off. They saw this would take a turn for the worst.

I don't think they swapped her out, I think she chose to stay out since it was clear her role could only go from ridiculous to worse. I love her stylishness and coolness, I hope she gets some serious bad ass heroic support roles.I think she didn't want to sink in deeper into the mud bath that seems to be Season 3.
