and i wonder why they took a potshot at that.. was that drama on TVN?
this script has made fun of a lot of TVN dramas..
and i can imaging LDW as the grim reaper trying to take SJ’s soul again and again .. ha ha,, bored t o max with this repetitive work entrusted upon him
there were already reports that ML and FL were not getting along, crew had issues and then the stress narrative was released and the actor bowed out… all good till then, he even gained public sympathy… but then few years later it all came tumbling down.. and i don’t think people buy the stress story anymore and called him out on the unprofessionalism.. both him and Seo jin
@alasecond can’t believe I’m still reading stuff like this all these years later…
They literally had him bring out his medical records, the last time…but no, he just made it all up because he suddenly woke up one day and wanted to be a jerk on set. 🙃
And btw, people gave him a hard time already when the drama was airing..for some reason those who knew how serious the situation was on set, decided to wait until after his hiatus, once he was all good again, to bring up the past..why not do it immediately? Instead of letting him receive all that “sympathy” 🤔
@cubely Lelly19.. medical certificate in Korea.. they produce fake certificate right left center… even for the most dangerous ofthe jobs.. to fake way out of military enlistment…
We will never know how true or untrue those certificates are… but we do know that tension was brewing and we do know there was definitely atleast the other reason to quit
I think she’s referring to the real life dating between Seo Ye-ji and Kim Jung-hyun when she forbade him to kiss another actress in a show while he was dating her. He ended up taking a mental health leave of absence after that show (and breaking up with Seo Ye-ji).
nah..its real life drama wiht a drama that had the SL from crash landing and FL is the youngest of the Girls Generation group.. that drama was so weird and ML got replaced midway
Kim Min-gi. His cameo appearance is because the screenwriter for Lovely Runner wrote True Beauty where he played Moon Ga-young’s little brother. Besides True Beauty, he was also in Racket Boys and Under the Queen’s Umbrella.
He was fantastic as the brother (unlike Lovely Runner) in True Beauty and phenomenal as the smart prince under his mother’s thumb in Under The Queen’s Umbrella.
Come to think of it, if marketed correctly, UTQU could have been Hwarang done right. The sheer number of eye candies it had!
My controversial opinion: True Beauty is a better drama than Lovely Runner. Beside the obvious fact that True Beauty had no serial killer, at least it didn’t have Sol’s annoying brother and best friend. I really can’t add Lovely Runner in my favorite dramas list when I actively hate 10% of it (Im Geum and Hyun-joo). Tae-sung is still my favorite character of all time, though.
I never thought I would pick up cudgels for True Beauty but here we are … yes it is a better drama. But Ottoke can’t be compared to Sudden Shower. *runs to hide*
Cera @Seeker Which song is “Ottoke”? “How Do You Do” by Chani?
I agree that Lovely Runner has the better OST even though I loved True Beauty’s OST especially “Fall in You” by Ha Sung-woon.
I’m past the point of “strong dislike.” I don’t FF, so I just rage during their filler scenes like him getting beat up by the mothers on his film set or them making out in the cabinet to hide from the miniature poodle.

I kind of remember this incident, but I never associated the joke with it.
I too wonder why would they make this joke when nothing about what happened back then strikes me as funny. I remember Kim Jung Hyun being really sick.
I don’t think it’s a TVN thing because I’ve seen the same joke and many shows.

I just meant it as a comparison of the MLs singing. Although to be fair CEW was supposed to be cringe and BWS is of course singing in a concert.

Raging at the filler scenes especially of the brother is totally a good way to watch the drama. 😂

Cera @Seeker Ohhhh, but wouldn’t “Love So Fine” be a better comparison, although “Sudden Shower” still wins by a long shot?
Minnie @minniegupta1 I’d assume that most people would say “Okey Dokey” was the best thing about TB.

@panshel I agree that “Love So Fine” would be a better comparison. I wasn’t necessarily trying to play fair. 😅
As @minniegupta1 said “Okey Dokey” was perhaps cringe maximus. It still wins over Sol’s birthday song for Tae Sung by a margin. 😂

True Beauty as a little brother, Under The Queen’s Umbrella as the smart Prince, Racket Boys as the smart boy.
