There's absolutely no need to attack people who express negative opinions about the drama. Pls try and learn to respect everyone's right to express their views. Just state your own appreciation / opinion without attacking others. That makes this site more comfortable and yes less negative for everyone. This is a commenting and discussion site and not a fansite.

The MCs were filming a dating show. It was as if the drama itself was the dating show and not a drama.

I was thinking the same. All the signs are in the air that it will be similar.

It would be so much better if the award period was clearly limited to a calendar year. I agree that dramas that are airing during the nomination period should not be nominated.

what a mess. the plot was advancing slowly until ep 7, then it all became disjointed. I guess they chose to cut out a lot of scenes explaining the BF main story and prime minister's character and motivation. And what about the priest and mind control. They kept just the action scenes, Disney -style. Which became boring without any knowledge about the reasons behind the violent attacks. The amount of loose strands after the last episode is record high in this one. I don't think there'll be another season, bc with Death's Game it was clear from the beginning that it was divided into 2 parts. 9/10 in the beginning, 7/10 in the end.

Yes, she was very good but it wasn't a heavy role to carry, unlike those 2 others. I'd add the actress Shin Eun Soo who played the mute girl in Twinkling Watermelon as more deserving of the award.

I don't think he portrayed the best acting but somehow that just got to be the strong public opinion and they couldn't go against it. His mannerisms in the first half of My Dearest were really too much. Every time he had to say a line, he started with opening his fan and waving it. That kind of acting that is too obvious and not very sincere is offputting to me, no matter what. Really great acting is Jang Dong Yoon in Flowers in the Sand. He's fully embodied Baek Du, not portraying Baek Du.

The Disney style: lost of action without any character depth is detrimental for k-drama. I'm sad that those giving awards do not appreciate the best qualities of k-dramas that made them loved by people all over the world. But Netflix and Disney money define these things now.

very true. The too obvious catering to popularity means Baeksang awards are not important or prestigious anymore.

I didn't find this funny or happy at all. Not even as entertaining as a typical k-drama rom com episode. FL was inconsiderate and just messed things up. This is similar to Welcome 2 Life drama, plotwise, but W2TL is so much better and warmer. 6/10

A really worthwhile movie to watch. The dance scenes are fantastic, the historical context is weighty. This is not overly sad or depressing despite the context of war, the film does not strive at stark realism bud blends surrealism, fantasy and comedy into this very unique mix. It's not even strictly sticking to the music or dancing styles of the portrayed historical era. Acting is top notch. Didn't ever expect to see Oh Jung Se as a dancing star, he must have always had these skils, wow. D.O. is fantastic as always. 9.5/10

I almost dropped this at ep 5, but it gets better on the second half when it deals with one central case and not individual cases. The humour is quite good. I like detective team dramas, this is a nice one (though not anything spectacularly good). 7.5/10.

subtitles are very lacking there, not making much sense

not much substance to this movie, not much humour either (except the toilet kind). simply a lot action. 6.5

aespa's Next Level, in big role again - also featured prominently in Midnight Studio. Funny coincidence.

Agreed. This should have ended in ep 14.

plot twist after plot twist is a very bad idea. It breaks the immersion into the drama. You just start thinking about how good or bad are these writing choices. I've felt detached since ep 13.

I love how badass Hae Joo is in this. Seo Eun Soo is the best when it comes to choosing strong woman roles (she is badass also in Unlock the Boss, Duel).

1st ep was really boring. Decided to give it another try, it gets going in ep 2, when the whole team comes together. In ep 3 I'm liking the drama, but I'm liking the other members of the team more than MC.
