take-to-the-sky

yeah, thanks for the warning anyway. idk if i’ll end up watching it cause i haven’t tuned into a weekend drama since “it’s beautiful now” in 2022 but, we’ll see haha

yeah, i know. i try not to avoid watching stuff bc of writers though, i have liked dramas written by "bad script" writers so i like to give things a fair shot. and sometimes i've disliked dramas by screenwriters i thought i liked! so, i try to proceed with caution but also not hold too much bias.

i totally understand being scorned by a writer though, there's no need for you to try their work again lol

viki has a lot of recent dramas from iqiyi (at least in my region) so i don't think that's why, it could just be another licensing reason or iqiyi just didn't want to share it

I wonder what took it so long to be released! But yeah, you can just tell. From the styling to the filters and even the way the poster is edited, it all screams 2015-16.

they can! its def not the worst trope to be a trend anyway

i wish this had subs!

do you ever wonder, “hmm why doesn’t this actor appear in dramas anymore” and then you go & read their bio… that always gives you the answer.

(especially if it’s a male celeb. he did give me super creepy vibes in delightful girl choon hyang so i cant say that i was super shocked to read that.)

whyyy haven’t viki put this on their platform yet? 🤔

the styling of this drama looks so ugly 😭 i’m not usually picky about visuals but SHEESH. why is everybody styled like they are about to star in charlie and the chocolate factory

it almost sounds like a horror movie when you put it that way i swear

i knew about the thai version, chinese version, and even turkish but i've never heard/seen this one! i guess part of it must be lack of subs ):

i feel like this concept could've really hit pre-harsh censorship ("too late to say i love you" for example) but it could still be interesting!

I hope this drama's success is proof to casting directors that they shouldn't just cast young rookies for romance dramas (not that this drama is just romance, it's much more than just that) However the romance is a wonderful part of it, and I don't think I'd be enjoying it as much if the leads weren't who they are.

Just felt like saying this since I have seen actors (not even just in Kdramaland, but in Hollywood too, ) say that they stopped receiving romance scripts once they got to a certain age.

It makes a lot of sense when I think about it though, a lot of lakorns, older ones especially , have a harlequin vibe to them imo.

i pulled this from an article, but it says “Beauty and the Devoted follows the romance between an actress who hits rock bottom and a producing director who helps her.”

same here! i want the love line between soohyuk and dahee to happen the most. i’ve seen them both play secondary characters and i always love when 2nd leads become mains. so much potential! 🥰 i think they’d have good romantic chemistry but i guess we’ll have to wait for more updates to see if they have a love line too or not

ikr!!!! what a pairing 🤩
