I wholeheartedly agree that the K govt struck a goldmine. They were smart in showcasing their food and culture once their kdramas and kpop became popular worldwide.

I loved 3Mad. Na PD's post-3Mad cooking variety shows are also great.

I wasn’t very impressed with The Worst of Evil story-wise after the first watch. But JCW’s performance was phenomenal (so was all other actors’), so I gave it a second watch and then came to love it. Then a third and a fourth watch back to back. And now it’s in my top 10 of all time. But the OTP I root for is always JCW and Im Semi, not him and Bibi. I know I’m in the minority. But that falling apart relationship is one reason the show stayed with me longer and tugged at my heartstrings.

While it is too short a snippet but I do think Ryeoun has learnt to emote. 🥺🥺🥺 I would definitely like to check this one out.

@johahaeyo I enjoy their chemistry as well. I skipped Worst of Evil but maybe I will watch it sometime after Gangnam B-Side episodes are all released.

I'm also loving JCW and BIBI! Their chemistry is wild! makes me want to watch Worst of Evil again!

Interactions between main leads are lovely but there is one absurd thing that is repeated all the time - the amount of beers the FL is drinking!
I believe that in ep. 3 it was said that she drank 10 liters! That's actually dangerous for the health - the blood is too diluted then and the electrolyte balance is destroyed. Usually the organism blocks the thirst so the damage will not be done.
(And we never see her go to the loo :D)
Not complaining - just worried about her health ;)

I like the FL-ML pairing much better than most of this year's pairings.

And it's great to see that the ship has sailed for them relatively early in the drama. While I do like slow-burn romances, the brisk pace of the unfolding of their relationship works for the rom-com genre.

3MaD was my favorite before I stopped watching K-variety (and “Running Man” was my fave before 3MaD before the show went through all of the changes)

@isagc

I think the old shows were filmed in chronological order because they were released pretty much at the same time.
