View Comments

• If Gong Yoo's watching I am. I must say I blame him for getting me hooked I hate on air drama's.

• MLD is such a gem! It’s so relatable and shaping up to be truly inspirational.

  I’m surprised m and disappointed at the ratings. The writer wrote My Mister, which a lot of people consider to be the greatest kdrama ever, so I thought people would tune in based on the writer alone.

  Guess this may just become a cult hit. One of my other fave dramas, Be Melo, had really low ratings but has gained a cult following since.

  • I'm watching it and hook on it. I love every character in this drama, specially Mr. Gu who is a very mysterious guy. I love how it shows the different lifestyles in the countryside and in the city. It really shows the reality of life.

• If it does become a cult hit isn't that underwhelming for the pd and writer. Light in your eyes, my mister and another miss oh have become success at baeksang plus had good ratings. If it becomes another just between lovers and be melo then considering the pd/writers previous successes it's a disappointment.

  • So u want them to cry about it?

  • AGREE DISSAPOINTMENT BORING CAST AND STORY LINE

• It is a masterpiece. Love it.

• Kim Ji Won is such a talented actress. I'm glad she rejected Arthdal Chronicles season 2.She is not the type who enjoys stardom. That's all good she is working hard for quality contents to show her range.
  After MLD, she will receive more offers.

  • Haha lol really? Its so funny who's actress will don't want startdome? Stop being sour graping LOL and impocrite

  • Come on, don’t be a hypcrite. In the entertainment industry, I don’t think there is anyone who will reject stardom if it is handed to them. Just because she was not lucky enough to become popular or to enjoy stardom doesn’t mean she doesn’t want it. LOL. You are just trying to justify her lack of fame/popularity.
    And you can’t dictate when to get famous or when not to, that is all in the hands of Fate. Others are lucky to get it early on in their career, others get it much later on in life and others don’t get the fame at all.

• I like the SSK (Mr Gu) to begin with so I checked it out. Glad I did because I like it so far. I like the musical scoring, I like that there are less dialogues but lots of close-up shots. I even like the pace, it's a great option for a weekend watch for me.

• This drama is really good between the characters, the actors, the outdoor scenery, the dialogues, etc.

  SSK and KJW had so much chemistry that I love their silences.

• The acting in this drama is just exceptional. Especially the scenes where there is no talking. I guess not everyone can relate to what the characters are going through, unless you have been through what they are going through. Added to that,the slow pace probably does not cater to everyone's taste. However, this is the only Saturday/Sunday drama I look forward to these days.

• This is the first time I've watched a k-drama that deals with the meaning of life and existentialist philosophy. The dialogue is beautiful and I feel invested in the siblings and their journey. Personally, I find all the characters relatable to some degree.

  The only thing I don't want to see is romance between Me. Gu and Mi-jeong. That would torpedo the message of the drama.

  • Exactly this drama is a keeper for me and I just love the portrayal of the characters lives and how they deal and move through each and every path they are drawn towards. The existentialism seen in the drama just keeps me wanting to see more and how I found out that the writer of this drama is the same one for “My Mister”, just made me more excited to carry on with this drama.
    Although the ratings are low this drama has a lot of potential and I relate to the characters and the lessons shown in the drama such as relationships, depression and suicidal ideation seen.
    This drama is truly a gem and I can’t wait for More episodes.

  • I'm enjoying this drama. It may not be for everyone but I found it super realistic. There are people going through these issues. I can relate to the characters. There def will be a romance between Mr. Gu + MJ - it's has been the key HINT since ep. 1! Why would their romance torpedo the message of the drama? Sometimes people are the catalyst for realization to resolve the problems in life etc.

• I could watch it all day. That one hour feel too little so I keep replaying it. Glad to rediscover Kim Jiwon and Lee EL, I love their personal scenes, they variate among calm, dramatic and comical in a subtle way. And the chemistry between Jiwon and Suck is marvelous as well as the chemistry between the 3 siblings.

  • How is a show just about mundane so dang interesting. Yep that's the power of PHYs writing. The show is lowkey a comedy especially lee min ki's scene he's doing a brilliant job after being typecasted in recent years. What I love mostly about this drama is that all the actors are getting their shine, that's what you call an ensemble drama (unlike 39 lol).
    Yh the ratings are very low, but then again I wouldn't watch this type of show at 10.30..
