Episodes 1-3 Hahaha I'm catching up, so I haven't read your post proper @mademoiselle but I also came to the conclusion that this series reminds me of Beyond Evil with the creepy neighbourhood where there's a lot of secrets and the suspected killer in the same guy from Beyond Evil Actually, I've got to stop watching this so late at night because it's creeping me out...mainly it's the suspense and the walking back at night and being stalked scenes since this show isn't actually that gory yet. Also when Gye Hoon looked out the window and the ex-paino-teacher-turned-beggar was staring in, I was majorly creeped out!!! I like the chemistry between the leads...it's so cute to see their midnight dinner dates and the way he looked when he saw her without an umbrella and after she fought with her mum...I think I'm starting to fall for him in a big way and he will bump up a rank in the Oppa Tiers BUT their relationship is a weird one! I mean, if Da Hyun turns out not to be Gye Hoon's sister, will they like each other??? It's so weirddddd to like someone that you once suspected might have had some tiny chance of being your sibling! Ugh, it's messing with my mind!!! I feel like the friend has the right idea, stealing their hairs and forcing a DNA test. It's the only way to be sure! The one thing that bothers me, that might be addressed in future episodes but hasn't been yet...is why the neighbourhood people don't really seem to recognise Gye Hoon and why he doesn't seem to know them either...even though it's literally the same people which you see in that shaman ceremony from his childhood after his sister disppeared. I mean, if Da Hyun's mum was already living in the neighbourhood, wouldn't he have known she had a kid even if he didn't know her well? Also, wouldn't they have known his name when he moved back? Sure he was a kid when he lived there, but I feel like the neighbours are nosy enough ajummas that they would have pieced together the past. I'm just confused is all! Still, I'm really enjoying this series because it has such a weird unconventional way about it. I can't tell what's going to happen next! And so I'm quite intrigued. I also feel like the characters react in really strange ways. Like would you hang out with someone who had the fridge with the body if you couldn't yet find the body? They're just so quirky that I'm going along for the ride

Press conference (not subbed, unfortunately, but 1 hr is a long time for anyone to sub)

Ah, that's right! I have a very vague memory about him winning a talent competition. I was thinking about it and I have honestly never watched any of his dramas except Doom at your Service....I think enough time may have passed now so I'll probably watch Shopping King Louis sometime soon since I really like NJH as well ( I have gotten over the ending rage I felt with DDSSLLS and nostalgia means that I only remember the good part of drama that are worth remembering which means I will stop boycotting the writer's dramas. I think )

Hahahaha I just watched the first episode and you remember how I said I don't know what this drama is about? I still don't quite know what it's about @abs-oluteM I agree with @Tofu This is by the far one of the weirdest dramas I've ever seen. But I'm enjoying the storyline which is full of mystery and thriller elements. They put the stalker in the first episode sooo at least that's out of the way Also the visuals for this drama is nice...both YJG and MGY are very stunning

I know so little about him except that he's pretty But i'm keen to watch his next drama

Episodes 7-16 I finally finished this! So I don't mind the last episode because it did tie up all the storylines ok and the tone was a lot nicer...BUT there was a looooong period of angst beforehand and a lot of annoying characters for most of the series. I thought the sister had way more character development than the other characters, which is surprising because when she first came out she was soooo dislikeable, though I felt bad for her situation because it really was Tae Yang's fault that she lost everything. The family dynamics with Tae Jun's mum, sister and himself were the strongest part to this drama honestly. But it was a happy ending all around. It took some time for the team to have some team spirit, but eventually they pulled together. The main couple clarified their feelings and all the side couples were cute. Overall, I wish this series had been better because I like Chae Jong Hyeop so much...but I can't lie, I really didn't feel any chemistry between the leads. There was no romantic tension or build up to the romance, and the passion was lukewarm at best. It felt like they were saying the lines and going through the motions, rather than portraying these feelings. Chae Jong Hyeop had the loved up expressions down pat, but can't say the same for Park Ju Hyun....it just felt like there wasn't a weight to her words and emotions. And for this reason, I found it hard to get into her character. The other thing is that her character was written with this annoying stubborness to make bad choices then grovel that I felt it difficult to back her completely. I actually thought the second couple had a much more belivable chemistry than the first couple And Kim Moo Joon played a pretty good jerk-turned-soft in Yook Jung Hwan. I prefered watching scenes with him and Chae Jong Hyeop more than the main couple! I also wish the sports had been better shot for screen and better integrated in the storyline. I felt like this story was about a fairly mediocre badminton team that wasn't that ambitious either? I mean, not every story has to show the althetes becoming Olympians and best friends, but it would have been nice if it had showed their progression in team bonding more clearly (rather than going from hating to suddenly liking for no reason) and showed them improving in the episodes...like the games were often a bad edit of random shots, with no build up of the scores to show which team was winning/losing. All in all, I didn't hate this drama, since I love Chae Jong Hyeop, and I watched it all (so it can't have been terrible- terrible). But I guess I was expecting a lot more and was disappointed because this drama did not deliver. Oh well, at least that's another one off the list. It was still romantic-centric....but then it went into angst, breakup land. Nothing was really achieved as a badminton team at the end. It's like the Park Park couple were shown to have potential (newspapers writing about their skills etc etc) and were on their way to stardom seeing as the show ends with them playing doubles against the second lead couple who are very strong players...but as a team, it seems like they were mediocre at best. One of the team players replaced the coach as the coach left to be a national coach. But the team captain didn't get his contract renewed and he dropped out willingly to run he's dad's spoon business I mean, I will give his drama points for its realism since I think many athletes do not get to Olympics level, so this seemed realistic. But as a sports drama, very little good sports was shown, so it felt a little pointless. Even as mediocre as they were, they could have shown their games and sportmanship better (but the show did not do this. Sigh)

He singssss????? His English sounds pretty good, is he fluent?

Trailer:

Wow look at this poster...it's sooo pretty

Guys! I finally started the first episode and it's not bad though there's not much interaction with the lead yet....hahaha but her date with that guy was a little meh...she kept saying that it was going well but all I could see was that guy wanted some celebrity merch I'm going to binge the other episodes today. Hopefully I'll be able to catch up before this ends. I try my best

Hahahaha @Tofu look what they're making LJW do to promote this drama

A lot of goodies have dropped!

Hahahaha OMG it's like my favourite people. I love Ma Dong Seok! Didn't realise they were in a movie together @abs-oluteM. Also shipping Ma Dong Seok's version of "Yeom Mi Jeong" with Mr Gu

Haha, I use to be sooooo into manga in high school. But I stopped when I got into dramas. It's like I traded it in because both are time consuming activities. Also I think I use to download them all but then my computer crashed and I lost all the series I was reading so I gave up Hahaha, 1 week 1 episode is my favourite schedule which no one understands Oh yeah, I've actually liked Dean Fujioka for a long time and adopted him from a Taiwanese drama, but not the Puff Aaron one (I refuse to watch that one because people use to trash Jasper when they were strongly real-life shipping Puff with Aaron .) I adopted Dean back when he was in a super old school Rainie Yang and Will Pan Taiwanese drama called Miss No Good. Hahaha...the fashion back then was really wild.

Hahaha, he's so extra and I love it. I'll watch when it comes out. Just remind me if I forget

That reminds me, I need to get around to Where Stars Land for my Oppa, Lee Je Hoon. Also I love Chae Soo Bin as well. But I can barely stay on top of my live watches, so might need to wait till there's a lull or I fall into a slump till I binge some old shows Haha, I also liked Haru too. I saw a picture of him during lockdown and that's what lead me to watch EY....which lead me to Lee Jae Wook So I have a deep appreciation for Rowoon. Hahahaha A lot of things remind me of Harry Potter in that drama actually! The car that could go back in time reminded me of the flying car. That whole thing about going into memories....although that also reminded me of Inception when the world of the memories started to cave in. Even though the world building wasn't very comprehansive I did like the magic elements hahaha but Doidee is actually pretty good if you like Thai and it's an easy find on Swanston St - I just don't bother with the hot soups...I have the non spicy dry boat noodles https://www.instagram.com/dodeepaidangmelb/?hl=en Wowwwww...this is unheard of! You're usually watching a billion things! You must be really worn out from work! Hope it improves for you. YES! I have seen it and it is fun! Haha I know a lot of hipsters and indie film watchers and they looooovvvveeeee this film so much. But it is very very strange and random. There's one world or timeline in the story that made me laugh so much till my tummy hurt. When you watch it, guess which one it was...thinking about it still makes me want to laugh I actually really wanted to watch this one! Hahaha, is it no good or was this just work tiredness??

I didn't know he had a new drama! Maybe I'll check it out. It's been at least 3 years since I watched any Jdramas! Hahaha, I've also seen Happy Mari and liked him in that But you know, I actually read the manga it was based on ages ago since the art style looked cute...and it's smutty (haha your taste Tea?) Because it was a Jdrama, the actors did not go anywhere near the scenes from the manga! Actually I also really liked Dean's early music too. It was so cool. I can't find his old music anymore though. But he has a lot of new stuff which I haven't listened to and he tours across Asia a lot. I knew she was rich but I didn't know she was THAT rich!!! The kids are so cute and obviously have a lot of family and friends in Indonesia. I do feel sorry that they don't see their dad much though!
