I was really impressed with these two episodes, the set up is very interesting and JKH is a riot when he plays comedic roles. Bong Hee is already a great character.

Havent watch this yet but I will surely check it out this weekend. I always like JKH in basically all his dramas. He pretty underrated generally but he's a talented actor -- always deliver in every role he's been given to.

lol at the insta pic, did he parodied himself in public?

I loved all the irl show business links in ep.1:

- lil' drag on variety shows for exaggerating digging in mud flats

- Seo Joon Oh's flop song being called Rigi Rigi Dong, that homage to Shinee kings lol

- shade on celebrities that run away to China after causing scandals in Korea aka Joon Oh "subtly" throwing in that chinese line/hello/mentioning chinese fans during disbandment presscon

Also: Sooyoung's bf has good acting chops but either him or Chanyeol/Choi Tae Joon duo should not be there - the age diff shows much and it kinda irks - like those 3 in one band? Nah bro.

Also pt.2: I like the comedy/mystery mix this drama seems to go for, it's refreshing. What too would be refreshing is everyone except RBH REALLY died, hope the first premise will hold up and we won't witness some riddic miracle ways of surving that are just not realistic etc. Kinda curious if scriptwriter would cater to Exo-l and keep Yeol alive for comparably longer.

Also pt.3: So who is shady? Will be boring if they spin it on RBH just creating fan fiction/not telling what really happend etc. She prob killed off somebody and it's not just the flashbacks being misleading, but I would like the more (for now) humouristic SJO to turned out "dirty" - I mean, he clearly was/partially still is awful person for all his diva drama, that cruel side can come out soon (who am I kidding, it's prob gonna be some romance direction lol)

Choi Tae Joon's character would be obvious, I kinda count on manager to deliever bc for now he was only shown as supposed tragic almost lover(?). Could be nice too if Yeol starts to act up but I'm not sure if I want to watch Chanyeol's struggle acting - for now he does decent practically playing himself lol

Ep 1 was so amazing, the only thing is I made the mistake of watching the episode the night before I flew back home from a business trip, which ended up having a lot of turbulence. Needless to say, my heart dropped many times lol

Ep 2 was also great but not as much intrigue as ep 1. I'm really into the show, and I think it's because Baek Jin Hee really carries the emotions sooo well in every scene.

Chanyeol's acting was a surprise. I've only ever watched him on Roommate so I didn't know what to expect. Interesting that they already confirmed one character is REALLY dead. I mean, I thought we were assuming everyone else was already dead, which I hope is still the case. Anyway I'm super into this drama and am so glad it's on Dramafever because I'm so tired of not being able to watch any shows in HD lately bc of stupid Viki pass

i'm really liking it so far!! the flashbacks aren't a distraction and are really well done!! this made me realise that i really have to learn how to make a fire cause you never know what might happen loool. also what kind of fabric do these clothes consist of cause not one single person's clothes were thorn...

i'm liking this so far! i love the two main characters. and lee yeol 😍

i really liked the first two episodes. i wasn't expecting a death so soon, so many questions.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

What kind of HO-mage to SHINee with Rigi Rigi Dong?! Lol.

I felt my chest tighten up with the whole crash scene and then the emergence into the water.

I really like this so far. I can't wait to see where it goes.

ETA: I LOVE that there's a nude color scheme for the cast. I wonder if the decision to do that has to do with some kind of symbolism or simply for aesthetics.
