Castaway Dog from Hell in a Marriage Contract sounds like a promising drama about a poor breeder who mistakenly mates his mutt with a purebred owned by a rich and beautiful heiress. Fun and hilarity will ensue as early growling gives way to loving sloppy kisses and multiple litters, both canine and human! (The show will be on Disney +)

Great news, thank you! I was already searching through the upcoming shows list on Netflix and couldn’t find either. Now to invest in a Viki pass or not to invest… lol

I love Viki but kinda bummed AGDTBAD won't be on Netflix, I feel like dramas on that platform reach more people

I can't say like this.

It depends on a lot of things. But the most important if there is really a story to tell or it's just to surf on the success wave.

Yes. I prefer spinoff or anthology series more than second seasons. I think it’s a happy middle ground in that viewers get to see more story in the universe they’ve come to love (with spinoffs) or with the type of storytelling and genre they love (with anthologies) but it lets the original season stand on its own and have a complete story. Second seasons can be done well, obviously, but in my opinion they should be quite rare.

If I really really love a drama, although I'm not a fan of sequels in Dramaland, I would prefer a sequel.

If I just love a character (who could be a secondary that then becomes main character in his/her own drama), I think I wouldn't mind to watch a spin-off about him/her in a different place.

I can’t recall if I have watched a ‘spinoff’ or not but I will be definitely be watching the spinoff next year from STRANGER/FOREST OF SECRETS (Season 1: 2017) (Season 2: 2020):
TVING’s GOOD OR BAD DONG-JAE with Lee Joon-hyuk (1984) reprising his role of Prosecutor Seo Dong-jae.

Based on no real evidence other than my own memory and gut, I think spin-offs tend to be better (in terms of quality) than second seasons. That's likely because they manage to capitalize on the nostalgic affection viewers have for the first iteration, while still offering something new and fresh. Frankly, I wish more kdrama writers would create spinoffs as there are many story universes I'd love to re-visit with a new set of storylines and characters. For example, I'd rather see a "Moving" spin-off with mostly different characters and just cameos from the first season characters than a second season featuring mostly the same characters as the first.

The Beanatariat has spoken! 😅

For me it depends on the quality. I haven't been part of the Kdrama fanship for long so I don't know how they've done historically. For American movies and shows, I've seen some spin offs crash and burn and some second seasons that were created very cleverly and well, and vice versa.

The one new trend I really do NOT like is one season split into two parts. Ugh why?? Just finish it rather than releasing half of the eps at one time and the rest a few weeks/months later.
