lily Aug 28 2025 10:23 am Just watched it recently, but why the character so old? like mostly 50+ years ?

Jen Nov 27 2023 1:54 pm This series has an outstanding cast and is full of promise. Unfortunately, it fails to fulfill expectations. The plot meanders along seemingly with two or three threads: Im Yoona’s father’s unfair treatment by Korea Daily, possible criminal involvement of the upper echelons of the newspaper management in the election of MP Go and the move of the CEO of the newspaper into politics and the death of an intern who is to lose her job because she is unfairly discriminated against. Each of these issues is explored but only the last is fully resolved.

There is no romance. The moral compass of individual reporters is put to the test with varying outcomes. It must be said that the core group of reporters stands firm in defending ethical principles and their camaraderie and interactions are a delight to watch.

The story moves slowly and at the end, I was left with an empty feeling, wondering what it was really all about. If I had known this beforehand, I probably wouldn’t have bothered watching it.

Bong Zero Feb 22 2021 8:48 am Beautifully done. If you enjoyed Black Dog or other office drama, you might like this one, or if you're into journalism-theme drama. I love how every actor or actress did not out-shined each other, all of them stand out.

It is slow but as you watch it, you'll understand why.

No Pain No Gain!

Dee Dee Feb 15 2021 6:28 am As some people might already said, yes this is not everyone's cup of tea but mine for sure. Kinda slow but I personally still enjoyed it. Many valuable moral lesson & intriguing turning events. And surprisingly I like their bond eventho mostly we only get to see them having a full team conversation during break or after-work dinner. Oh, and the idea of putting food as the title for each eps is interesting :)

azla Feb 08 2021 4:59 am i really like this drama???

ikero Feb 07 2021 9:34 am this is a masterpiece

Diana Feb 06 2021 7:37 pm No love lines. No cheesy words. Just real punchlines. Not everyone's cup of tea, but totally is mine :) Recommended !

gik Feb 06 2021 7:52 am Can anyone explain to me the MP Go solicitation case? I'm on ep14 already and still cannot figure it out. For everyone who is about to watch this drama, it will be quite hard to understand some part of it, you may have to pause and think to actually figure what they are doing. Don't get me wrong, that doesnt mean it's bad. This drama has its own of genre that would captivate you into watching it. Recommended!

FigureofSpeech Feb 04 2021 12:35 pm Learn some Figure of speech to understand this series/drama

Adel Feb 03 2021 9:22 am This might be not everyone cup of tea, but I love this so much. It's pretty hard to understand the conflict and kinda boring at the beginning, but it caught my interest and hooked me as episode increase.

rwalser Jan 31 2021 6:29 pm This a very good drama, All aspects of it are top tier. Yoona's acting is especially note worthy. She has matured as an actress and I look forward to future performances. I have always enjoyed watching Hwang Jung-Min whether he was in Korean dramas or movies.

Mary Jan 24 2021 11:42 am This drama is like Stranger. I love the plot. A viewer needs to be smart to understand the whole scenario just like Stranger 1 and 2. Hush drama fans Don't bother about the low ratings. This drama is gold.

Norma Jan 16 2021 5:38 pm This drama maybe a littlebit slow but full of good actors and actresses,inshort good drama

Bie Jan 12 2021 6:22 am Dear yoona thankyou for choosing this good drama! I saw many ppl complained abt the slow pace and less conflict. But i do really enjoy this. I love how it potrays work-fam-friendship life... Excited to see eps 9, everybody is sus except jisoo and junhyuk >.<

Rut Jan 09 2021 12:46 am Hush is really breath taking drama like Stranger, both soft and intense parts are blend so well, script writer should be awarded. The actors are amazing too, i give credit to staff who cast them.Low rating doesn't mean no one watch it compare to what happen before.

one candle Jan 06 2021 5:48 pm I love this kind of drama! Slice of life in Hush is very good, relate in my daily life. The acting of the actors very great, esp yoona, her acting improve a lot!! When i watch hush, i feel like i watch prison playbook but newspaper office version. There is no regret to start watching this drama. Highly recommended, esp for you who love slice of life genre~

Jamaica Cuison Dec 31 2020 9:29 am Thanks for awesome series. Can't wait for the next episode.

Elisabet Dec 30 2020 8:18 am I am fans of Yoona

I like this drama is not because Yoona but pure the story Hush drama relate to my life.

I like drama no romance and I like story no romance

All actoor and actrees very very good

Kang BearGi Dec 28 2020 5:43 am wow i really love drama slice of life like this.. the reality we facing everyday little sad but yeah this's life.. overall good drama!!

jams Dec 26 2020 11:13 pm This is the real and the best korean drama. 10 from 10.

Sumon Dec 26 2020 3:15 pm The drama is boring to much overacting on every thing it was start good way but lot everything from 3rd episode

Cain Dec 26 2020 4:46 am I haven't watched it but I will cuz Yoona is in it. I don't when that lady is not beautiful and elegant. She is always pretty

IsMail Dec 25 2020 6:45 pm Whooaa watching episode by episode the line up is amazing. Every scene feels like I'm watching movie. I cried on fifth episode.

mike Dec 18 2020 9:15 pm Just 3 eps alone prove that this drama worth it. No wonder Jung Min is willing to starred in this drama.

N Dec 16 2020 10:53 pm Wow. A reunion of veteran actors in a drama.

Avid fan Dec 12 2020 7:24 pm Wow, the fact that Hwang Jung Min only acted in movies before, this drama must be really captivating. Enough to make him accept the role.

Abil Dec 12 2020 5:52 pm I didn't think episode 2 was able to bring out this kind of feeling, it's very exciting, but also heartbreaking. I cried at the end of ep 2. I'm looking forward to the next episode !!

patricia Dec 12 2020 12:37 pm I started watching this because of YoonA. But I never expected it to be this sad. Those endings make me really cry that freaking hard. Fighting Hush Team!

Alice Dec 11 2020 10:49 pm I'm definitely gonna like this drama. Episode 1 was awesome! May the ratings rise!

kookmin Dec 06 2020 3:46 pm I can only watch this for Hwang Jung Min!! I still can't believe he will be in a drama. My fav korean actor of all time.

yok Nov 23 2020 2:17 am the plot gave me Misaeng vibes

lee Nov 15 2020 7:00 am I can't wait to see Hwang Jung-Min in a drama omg. He's one of Korea's greatest and respected actors. He's only done movies during the past years so this really feels new. He's such an amaizng actor. If anyone wants to get to know him before the drama starts, yall should check out his movies. Everything's good but I recommend Ode to my Father, New World and A Violent Prosecutor. You won't regret it! Korea's movie industry has a lot of gems, and this man right here is in a lot of them.

S.O.S signal aka Fans EXIT Nov 07 2020 11:56 am Good Luck team Hush . Hopefully great plot,great rating and great response form Knetz .
