Once again the adage of live K-drama watching being a walk in landmines comes to fruition, and a new generation of ardent drama watchers will take away a lesson.

Forecasting Love and Weather also ended this Sunday to 7.344% ratings but no one care at this point, most of the viewers dropped off piecemeal from episode 7 onward and it’s been a study in boredom since them. But it had a more satisfying ending so there’s that, the irony is not lost on me but honestly I just want dramas to be good from beginning to end and that remains a rarity to this day.

I’ve never liked actor Yoon Park, but more accurately I’ve never liked any character he’s played and that’s influenced how I associate with him, e.g. smarmy asshole types. But then he’s doing such a great job of being exactly that … Continue reading
