Well, I think I know where the makeup and hair people are Bound…

…the same place as:
1: The geniuses who thought we could remember enough of season 1 after 3 years to jump right in here and really follow all the threads.

2: The marketing flacks who thought they could get us to re-watch season 1.

3: Marketing flacks in general.

4: Anyone who plans a sequel and then can’t get around to it for 3 f-ing years.

Actually, the kill-yourselves thing might be more likely to “succeed” if you do it someplace where medical treatment isn’t, you know, right there.

Also, #2: Who are you and what have you done with the Korean?

1 / 3: Besides the actual story, another reason to check this out is the little snippets at the start of the episodes what just show the leads interacting and being likeable in ways that have nothing to do with the plot. Show knows a winning combination when it sees one.

4: Pro tip – how to ask for Dramabeans site enhancements?

5: Even back in 2016 somebody had a “No Drone Zone” sign.
