But it definitely serves as a catalyst. Even in this drama, their romance story really launched after that drunk scene, haha.

This alcohol drinking is also a major plot device that drives the romance forward, haha. I’ve watched just too many drunk kisses and confessions.

If they want to air it before Harbin 2025, they’ll need to start on the 28th, as it will take around 10 days to finish.

Do you have the official source pertaining to this rule? I scoured the Internet and just couldn’t find any such official rule, law, or guideline.

Damn, is there really such a rule? I don’t even know if they have any justifiable rationale behind all these diktats. By the way, is there a formal code of media rules, or are these just unspoken ones?

Even if there is another couple, they are not the main one according to MDL’s cast list, so I doubt they have much screen time.

I hope they give this drama a cop-out by increasing each episode’s duration to about an hour.

I’ve been waiting for this drama for so long, so I don’t want it to lose its substance because of episode skimming. ._.)

What do you think? Will they increase the episode duration? Or is it just my castle in the air?

If Youko only wants to reduce the number of episodes to around 24, can’t the duration of each episode be increased to an hour to maintain the total runtime?

Yeah, It must be so hard on the team who have invested so much time and money in it.
I never thought about that. :o

True, it shouldn’t be applied on dramas that were shot for higher number of episodes.

I don’t have any problem with short C-Dramas, but if a drama was originally shot for a higher number of episodes and then shrunk down in post-production, that’s something I don’t like.

I believe it’ll air after Harbin 2025 so that it could ride on its coattails.

The total duration of 22 episodes, each 45 minutes long, is equivalent to 16 episodes, each lasting one hour. So, this 23 episode C-Drama is almost equal to a full-fledged 16-episode K-Drama.
Don’t get me wrong—I wish it had 32 episodes, but alas! ._.)

I thought you meant any lead, my bad. As for your question, Crash Landing on You and Dali and the Cocky Prince might fit the bill.

Business Proposal?

Not gonna lie, when I listened to the intro OST for the first time, I thought it said ‘taste me.’ 💀

Dang, man, I could never watch it, even though it was recommended to me multiple times in the past. I used to watch only action anime, rarely romance, and now I only watch romance dramas, rarely action. I’ve come a long way, haha.

I wish you godspeed in watching the show, and I hope you’ll love it. :)
