if this was a cdrama, FL would have ended up with lee shin won, lee heon's wife would have been secretly alive (she ran away because palace life was overwhelming for her) and he would abandon the throne to be with her, and lee shin won would turn out to be lee heon's secret half-brother, thus he becomes the next in line to take the throne. i liked what they did with the plot, but i would've much rather preferred this hypothetical lol

talking about the actual plot, i wish they introduced hwayun earlier, i really loved her character and wish her and SML had more scenes together

also seeing noh minwoo in a drama these days, even a guest role, always brightens my day :) i'm glad to see him back

finally got to watch and wow, what a horror genre debut ! very interesting, but definitely think that slice of life continues to be director shinobu's specialty lol

i love the music in this drama so so much, every time i put on a new episode i have to have spotify open and ready to save as i listen

one thing though, the leads have zero chemistryyy. this series honestly didn't even need romance (sho x naoki seemed more believable lmao)

loved seeing sukku and bae doona in something again, even if for a short while lol

hi, I watched this in theaters during a film festival showing!

i need a spin-off drama so badly where they show the story of how the aunt and her husband met!!! they are so cute omg

now THIS is what I call a slowburn, their relationship was so genuine omg. perfect balance of comedy, slice of life, found family, adventure, romance. truly a gem of a drama

been over four years but i still think about this drama often.. such a gem

finally people will watch this gem of a drama lol

yelled TAIGA TAIGA JIRETTAIGA!! everytime shujiro won a fight lol, very enjoyable experience

also was jumpscared by higashide masahiro, can't believe he's still even employed in the industry

ohhh okay, that makes sense actually. i guess since she basically watched him grow up

hahaha i understand what you mean. i'm a big nonromance enjoyed though, so i will never say there's too little romance lol. even though the romance was still pretty nice, it just felt like it should have been a more side plot because at one point it seemed like they started giving it more screentime over the actual "save the company" plot. but feel free to disagree, i know everyone has different preferences

my only complaint is that i think this drama would have been more meaningful with a little less romance, and more focus on the zero-to-hero story, while also highlighting the stories of each of typhoon trading employees to give it more nuance. i'm surprised that people didn't enjoy this drama because i really loved it. it's one of the few retro 80s-90s kdramas that doesn't have a miserable and nonsensical ending. the villains were a little one dimensional, especially bakho's son, but i thought bak ho was a really interesting villain character, just wish he stayed the main villain and the dumb kidnapping thing didn't happen

yeah, no worries, i got that. i know usually they'll disclose if it were a remake of an american film, but honestly this plot is way too similar for it not to be inspired.

yes, i finished it, but the ending was definitely not satisfying enough. there was barely any female rage, it was more just silent and bottled up. i still enjoyed it, but i wish there was more of a revenge element to the story

yeah thats a slight difference im seeing between the premise of this drama and life as we know it. i really enjoyed the leads' dynamics in life as we know it and considering the premise is so similar for this drama, i'm excited to see something adjacent to that, like the haters to unlikely found family vibe

this looks so cute omg

this casting is amazinggg, so rare to have a drama with all mature actors

the movie is one of the first k-movies i ever watched, it was really fun. excited to see a drama inspired by it, the cast already looks greatttt

this sounds so much like life as we know it? looks so interesting
