Thank you Bong-Soo! I will definitely watch both seasons of Missing :)

I haven't yet. But I will, it will be interesting.

Late comment! Yes, I watched it! It was great! Only quibble is Ep 9-10, was kinda not as immersive for me as a viewer. Also the ending too, meh. Seriously, can we please stick with a definitive ending?! A key point was how they treated sensitive/taboo topics in Korea w/o any judgement (minus Namu's mom, to a lesser extent).

Also bummed that Dramabeans didn't pick up this show to recap as a series review. I thought they would've at least recapped Move to Heaven since they did for other Netflix originals. Lee Je Hoon didn't come back with two good dramas, to not be given any reviews/recaps!! Jokes aside, but really, throw us a bone for us fans!!

Oh hey! @Moni Hasnone

You and I are on the same boat lol! I too felt dis-engaged w/ Matthew's story line. I think while foreign adoption is a vital issue to address esp. in Korea (which knows first hand), I didn't connect. Like you said well, Sang gu and Geu ru for me were the backbone of the show. Them being in this was the strength, I wish it was more about a brother duo type of show but alas that wouldn't get greenlit.

I thought LJH was killer as usual, but here wowzers! I love how he's not afraid of looking 'ugly' or 'messy' when the role calls for it! Tang was great too, for an un-emotional role, he did well in making us sympathize w/ him. Namu (to a lesser extent) did her part as in cheery bright girl, but she was a tad too on the nose imo. A bit annoying lol.

Yeah the tree hug scene kinda flew by my head, as in well that's sad, but dunno why (maybe b/c I watched it to try to finish the last 4 episodes), that my mentality wasn't in the right mood for it? B/c Ep 9/10 didn't really click for me as much as the prior episodes. They really should've just ended it when Sang Gu hears of the case, and he cries, and boom end scene! Or a scene where Geu re hears of his uncle being his legal guardian now, and them re-uniting and hugging, dunno lol, just end it on those two. I know LJH said at 1st he thought 1 season was enough, but now S2 sounds good. But meh, I think S1 was suffice imo.

Taxi Driver was solid too, total 180! I thought LJH was a beast here. Very cool/hot lol! I do wish that the supporting/FL were given the same push (altho this was more on the cases as it was real). I wanted a more Stranger type of dynamic w/ the cast, but instead I didn't really connect to the supporting cast, even Do Gi took a while for me to get like by Ep 12 or so. I do wished that Move to Heaven at least gotten a series review, but alas...who knows when LJH will come back to dramas?

Slice of Life is a hard genre for me to like (minority I know!). It's strange for U.S Sitcoms, (b/c its short/to the point), its fine but for K-dramas, I tend to go Zzzz...They just don't do it for me unfortunately :(

Ha, np! Love your comment! Nice to see a fellow LJH fan here too! He came back w/ 2 solid dramas!

S2, hopefully goes well, and not milked to death like Penthouse ahem. Would need to see more Esom, and have her be more part of the team. Also more in-depth characterizations about the other Rainbow crew members too. Also don't fire your writer midway through too! :O I heard some rumblings that the writer was coming back(might?), since he still has a contract w/ SBS.

I echo the over-binge comment too! When that happens, it all blurs for me. So I try to not watch it all at once, 3-4 days is ok spread out for me. Of course, its harder when the show is already completed, and you've other shows you've as well. Ah, the dilemmas!

As for drama recs: For short ones, really enjoyed You Drive Me Crazy/Drama Special - My Embarrassing Days. (Both are cute/lovely!). I really enjoyed Love Affairs in the Afternoon (taboo subject but it was handled poignantly well). Chief of Staff (if you want more political dramas w/ maturity). Also some older dramas people adore: Miss Korea (Sweet romance), I Do, I Do (Really adored this one too), and Tomorrow With You (LJH!!).
