Okay I get why it is morning drama: I watched all the clips on YT after getting up, the first thing in morning!
ON side note: I should be working but here I am fangirling Lee jae wook!
Oh dear I love this boy!
I want to make an unofficial fan club for our boy, and his next upcoming drama does sound like makjang! Maybe now they will change script and make him first lead!!
It’s not makjang, more like fantasy. I think they already started filming so it might be too late, but it’s ok, as long as the role is interesting and lets him showcase his skills, I’m content.
Yes its really like W x makjang (or a genre breaking makjang fantasy)
I think they already started filming so it might be too late
No, that’s not how Korean drama industry work, if the drama is not pre produced completely, then they can always make last minute changes depending on fan input and this has happened with lot of dramas, most famous being A poem a day!
The changed who got the girl in the end! hahah!
I am all the way in club my boy!
I just hope its well written!
I know how kdrama works 🙂 I’ve watched it for, oh idk, 20 years. I’m still not sure if A poem a day changed midway or if it was intentional from the beginning. Anyway, my point is, unless there’s a big response, I doubt it’ll change majorly from what they intended, esp since its based on a webtoon. No one wants to repeat the hell that was Cheese in the trap. Also knowing the webtoon content I really wouldn’t call it makjang – what part of it would be makjang? 🤔 Dramatic maybe, but we definitely are not having The last empress or What’s wrong with my mother in law here.
Wow! 20 years a lot!
I liked cheese in the trap and even though I felt sad for the male lead in it, I was team Seo Kang Joon all the way to end!
Here is why I feel its really cross makjang:
Eun Dan-O (Kim Hye-Yoon) is a student at a prestigious high school. Her family is wealthy, but Eun Dan-O has a heart disease. Her fiance Baek Kyung (Lee Jae-Wook) attends the same prestigious high school. She likes him a lot, but he does not like her at all. Suddenly, Eun Dan-O has short-term memory loss and she can see what will happen in the near future. She gets confused by her symptoms. Then, Jinmiche, from the school cafeteria, tells Eun Dan-O that she is a character in the comic “Secret” like everybody else there. Eun Dan-O learns that her character is not even a main character, but rather an extra and she doesn’t have much time to live. Eun Dan-O is stunned, but she decides she wants to find her own true first love and not someone written by the comic writer. One day, she falls down the school stairs. She feels her back touch the back of another student, among a group of male students. Her heart suddenly starts to flutter. Eun Dan-O wants to find the male student who made her heart flutter. She eventually finds the student (Ro Woon) and he is her classmate. He is a character that doesn’t have a name. They get close and Eun Dan-O names him “Ha-Roo.”

1. Memory loss
2. The female lead believes she is going to die soon and has been told so.
3. She falls down stairs
4. And then the sudden back touch ….
For me the first point is enough to classify it as makjang…
*makjang is not bad as per say, the perfect makjang ever is the called “Money Flower” stars Jang Hyuk and its flawless.
There can be many things which can go wrong with webtoon based dramas: “Like feel good to die”, apparently the writer who adapted it for the drama never understood the webtoon and the drama has a complete opposite of everything in the webtoon.
But then I see that the webtoon writer is listed as a writer but if he or she gets no say in the production, it can be very different.
Interesting re: A poem a day! Thanks for the info. I guess dramatic and makjang can be the same for some, but I’d argue that makjang requires a level of twists and turns that July found by chance doesn’t have. The memory loss and falling down the stairs are just convenient plot devices and tropes in this genre of “isekai” – or alternate world. The whole webtoon is actually pretty chill, there’s no crazy twist other than the isekai aspect. A lot of isekai works (manga and drama) are about a side or evil character fighting for the gate, because of the very fact that they are not the main character, and not a drummed up sudden excuse of cancer or or Truck of Doom.
With Cheese in the trap, the problem is less about which actor we should focus on, but by giving SKJ’s character more story, the director diluted and detracted from the original story about twisted love/obsession that the author wanted to tell, and how the first half of the drama was set up to tell.
His upcoming drama is actually a youth drama and it feels weird. I can’t just switch up the leads because I’m a SF9 stan (my @ says it all). THIS IS SO HARD.
Also, @dokutokunaneko mentioned this on a post earlier, but we can call Lee Jae-wook’s Fan Club Puppy Fan Club!
He is pretty great at youth dramas such as School 2017 and SF9’s web drama Click Your Heart! It’s hard to pick between your own children but I also feel like a proud mom right now because they both get to headline this drama.
I did think that one of the main reasons that I didn’t have any problems with the Puppy/Scarlett romance, was that I hadn’t seen Puppy in a school uniform in another drama six months previously. Unlike some other recent large age-gap romances that were… more problematic for exactly that reason.
I’ll just say that it was a good thing I watched him in WWW before I saw him in a youth drama.
Could we ask DB overlord to ask him for [ask an actor]. If DB could get Jang Hyuk, Kim So-hyun and Lee Jung-eun, they’re all longer and more popular in the industry, I believe DB can invite Lee Jae-wook.
We need an actor spotlight too please! I know he has two dramas on his resume, I don’t care! There’s too many to talk about with those two dramas he was in!

It is SF9’s Rowoon! He was recently in Fox bride Star as Chae Soo-bin’s best friend (and I cried for him there coz he didn’t get the girl).

I did think that one of the main reasons that I didn’t have any problems with the Puppy/Scarlett romance, was that I hadn’t seen Puppy in a school uniform in another drama six months previously. Unlike some other recent large age-gap romances that were… more problematic for exactly that reason.

He is going to be an asshole in that drama. My heart is not ready. I just hope they change his character HAHAHA
He is really great with mature roles. I am not even bothered by the age gap in WWW. A college drama would be nice as a future project!
