Still reading but omg this opening.... Ever watched a romance K-drama were you felt like you suddenly lost the female lead halfway? Felt like her initially well-set up story fizzled out to the benefit of scenes of the male lead? Wished you could have seen a more developed exploration of her personal troubles?
YES. The absolute annihilation of this character because Korea was more focused on stupid trash can they bullied the writers into completely changing the script. I remember nearly dropping the drama because her character was so frustratingly mellowed out by mid-drama.
So apologies I don't have receipts. But I believe this drama fell under the umbrella of still being in production when the first episodes started airing (the whole drama wasn't filmed prior to airing). As a result, there was MASSIVE support for trash can's character when episodes were airing. Even leading up to the last episode, cast members still weren't sure who was the husband. that's why it felt like such a total switch at the end.
are you talking reply 1994? tbh i only truly liked 1997 and the rest, though having some cute moments, were disappointing to me but it's been a while since i watched them - i just remember them being too focused on the romance
All the romance. But I think the part of the shows that I enjoyed most was the friendships. 1988 was good up until the end with the husband reveal (that was infuriating). But I liked that these shows friendships and are they/are they not relationships. Felt nice to see some boy/girl friendships on screen.
