the bl novel is based on the movie

Just watch the movie. There was a writing competition to make it into a drama.

humour is so subjective, the Killer Paradox made me laugh and I loved Chicken Nugget.

Haru has scitzophrenia, he has hallucinations, he hears voices and sees people that aren't there. His friends come to accept the fact that Haru is ill and still love him.

the last ep is lighter, and open ending that hints at a reversal of ep 11

Begins Youth is my favorite 2024 drama, followed by Flowers in the Sand.

There's also the movie Switch. Same trope, but that wasn't so good.

This is based on the movie The Dude in Me

Actually this is based on the movie The Dude in Me

There's also the drama Welcome 2 Life with the same trope. It's pretty good.

There was a writing competion to expand The Dude in Me into a drama therefore copyright issues were lifted for the original work.

The original work is the movie The Dude in Me (2019) and not the novel.

Pls watch the Dude in Me. The whole story is the same including details. You must be able to appreciate the fact that is more than a genre or trope similarity, genius.

Lovely Runner is everything this drama isn't.

Yes and the Milgram experiment. I was thinking about those same real life results. But I don't think this drama is all that clearly condemning the whole of humanity. Even in the circumstances, some of them kept their humanity, like 2nd, 3rd floors. They also developed friendship and empathy. I would say most people are good if the circumstances are good but are easily swayed to become mobsters when fear and stress grows. But what do I know, actually I was much more certain that 99 % of humans are basically good but that was before the great real life pandemia experiment with lockdowns and other crazy rules.

The cringe factor is quite high. Substandard writing, ridiculous dialogue and an obnoxious ML. Pass. Light and fluffy is a kind of a trap. Easy to slip into but in the end I'd just get irritated with having wasted my time on it instead of searching for something more worthwhile. Dropping in ep 1.

MDL members know Koo Kyo Hwan very well. Why would this "writer" thingy assume otherwise and feel the need to make a reference to a recent lesser known role of his.

You can tell that a writer doesn't actually watch dramas when it has to make a heading referring to an actors small recent role and not his big award-winning roles.

This drama is absolutely wonderful. I don't know why it's not well known, it's on par with the very best k-dramas. There is so much realism and bigger and smaller problems, but all of it portrayed through a very comforting and optimistic lens. This scriptwriter is one true humanist. All of the main characters are basically flawed but viewed in such sympathetic and empathetic manner, you just grow to love and understand all of them. This is an ensemble and found family drama, the hair salon employees are all equally main characters. The romances (both young and the mature) are incredibly sweet. There is a philosophicizing narrator who is both wise and understanding of bigger and smaller challenges in life that it makes you feel you yourself are being heard and understood. All of the actors are great but especially Park Jung Woo. 9/10. Highly recommended.

I checked and realized I had blocked those people a long time ago. Saved some braincells there.
