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.

Go Kyung Pyo has the most endearing sad face... he alone makes me want to watch it, tho the plot is not to my liking...

Yes. I take what I said back given the context of the additional eps. I still like Pilseung a lot except his new found tendency to speak harshly as s director

I was thinking that we've been having a lot of body-swap dramas, but that's only because I consider Lovely Runner a body-swap drama.

Where is Lee Seo-jin at this script reading?

Shin Mina showed tons of AEGYO in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, but she was so young then, it suited her and her character!

she has matured nicely, even she admitted that she was too immature and egotistical in her early 20s...

She's definitely a non-favorite of mine and if she's the romantic lead, there's not enough in the overall story to entice me.

Effortlessly natural is a great description!

It all depends on the drama, the actors, or my level of obsession because like @Unit says, it is exhausting and time-consuming and can 100% ruin the immersion. Sometimes I would watch the extras while the drama is on the air, and other times I'd watch after the drama ends if I can't move on. BTS and interviews are fine as the actors are still in character, but variety shows with the actor's real-life personality can ruin my immersion.

Since this Drama Chat is about Kim Soo-hyun, I was obsessed with Kim Soo-hyun during It's Okay to Not Be Okay, so I rewatched his Infinite Challenge episode from 2017 (I miss Mudo!), and his real-life personality is so different from his onscreen character that it took me out of the drama. I stan K-pop idols for their personalities, but I stan actors for their fictional characters.
