I'm trying so hard to space out my viewing of Part I because I do think it'll be worth it to watch it closer to Part II. But it's so hard! I have to say that I read the novels years ago and liked them, but when I heard that they'd be adapted for television/Netflix, I wasn't optimistic. Also, I was underwhelmed by the initial casting announcements. I am delighted to say that I could not be more wrong--the show just gets better and better each season and I'm impressed with how addictive it remains.

I am so confused. I feel like I already saw a trailer for this. I thought it was a movie.

There are a few veteran beanies still on the site who may respond depending on the drama and the day you post. At the weekend the site tends to be slower and glitchy due to the sheer weight of traffic for some of the weekend posts so you may have limited responses but mid week when things settle you may have more success.
One way to catch the eyes of currently active beanies is to post what you are watching on the What we are watching post. Have you looked at that post? If you have a look through a few of the posts you will see how different beanies add their comments on currently airing dramas as well as the older ones. I would recommend trying to add a comment on a Saturday when that post drops as then you will increase the chance of a response as that is when most beanies will interact.

I am so looking forward to this as the more we hear the more it sounds like it will definitely have the features I liked in the film The dude in me which had a very similar story and was very funny.
I hope they can add humour and light elements alongside the darker elements of the story.

‘S. Korea to boost support for single-parent families’.:

“ In response to criticism that the system is insufficient to help families in need, the government has expanded the eligibility criteria to families who earn up to 100 percent of the median income level.

The government will also place administrative sanctions and criminal penalties on non-custodial parents who willfully refuse to pay support.

The ministry's plan also includes specific measures to improve the child support collection rate, which is only 15.3 percent currentlyA.“

Too bad Korean school bullies can't walk off the job in protest for the government relaxing bullying standards. I wouldn't mind for all school bullying dramas to be put on hold.

Great idea. I love her. I’m not watching until the whole show comes out but I’ve read the book a few times. That’s a perfect way to wait patiently 🤣🤣

i had a hard time watching Chun Woo Hee in The 8 Show also... i was just getting to a point where i thought we could trust her in The Atypical Family - but now i'm skewing back to suspicious because of the initial intent.... shouldn't have watched that awful 8 Show, i hated it. pure unadulterated violence, gore and meanness in a Pee Wee's Playhouse set...

I think they went off before or while the emergency services were contacted. It was a little weird that they were standing there when Woo Joo and Ki Baek arrived unless their hike back didn't take long or some of the emergency crew were searching and some were at the base.

Insider trading (investing based on advance knowledge) is illegal pretty much everywhere and I assume in Korea. If the mother is always picking stocks that sky-rocket later, it's a big, huge red flag. Now, proving that they relied on insider information would be difficult- but it would be a noticed - and investigated.
