Trailers

Comments

Jillibean Mar 12 2025 7:46 pm I will watch Joo Won in anything. Such a wonderful, humanistic, often funny actor. This drama is perfect for his screen type. I loved it.

Rhena Sep 13 2024 7:49 am Love this drama and all the ost songs, after watching The Midnight Studio I tried to find the songs from this drama, this drama is very emotional, every episode makes me cry every time the opening song comes on it makes me tear up. From the soundtrack to the content, everything is amazing, ahhh my eyes filled with tears. Without a doubt I would give this drama a 10/10.

Precious Ekeh Aug 20 2024 1:40 pm Starting this drama, I thought it was going to be a cliche of “the guy has a problem, the girl is the one with the solution, and then they get to live together” and I was hating it. Ready to give up at episode two till it got more captivating till I finally finished it

Rya Aug 06 2024 5:23 pm This Kdramaaaa Was Itttt had me sobbing in every episode was worth every minute plus the romance ahhhh

American Noona Jul 07 2024 9:24 am I have such affection for this series. The makers have earned my trust they will land it in the best way to serve the heart of the story. It may not be my preferred ending for Mr. Baek, and also for Jiwon’s love story, but you know they love the characters as much as the audience, and all of that shines through. Especially the sweet ending for Bom and Ki Joo

Loey Jul 07 2024 5:34 am I like the story and acting. I wish the effects were better. I also wish the consistency or continuity regarding time is given more attention to. Like they're having a drink at night, and then suddenly they're going home when the sky is bright, not that it took them til sunrise to drink. Or they're at the bridge at night and took them to mid day (again it doesn't look like early morning) to get to the hospital. and other instances.

Prilee Jul 03 2024 2:00 am I really loved the chemistry of main leads and the story is really great and well narrated. It's a drama that you could always watch with warmth

Tina Jul 02 2024 1:11 pm One of my favourite dramas so far, a drama that I can't express in words, a lot of feelings while watching it, something that I always feel again is "enjoying" Korean dramas like 10 years ago, the real feeling of enjoyment, I will save this comment to mark this drama is very extraordinary, and people should watch it, more than that, people should enjoy it, this drama is very sincere. 10/10

Joanna Jun 27 2024 8:38 am I’m absolutely adoring this drama. The dynamic between the whole cast is delightful. I have cried in almost all of the episodes, yet laughed in most of them too. It’s got a great balance for my feels. The chemistry JooWon and Nara got is through the roof, it feels so real. Trying hard not to ship them irl, lmao :)

Rose Jun 25 2024 8:17 am Thank you makers for this brilliant heartwarming drama. This is exactly what i was craving for, a perfect ending, beautifully wrapped like you couldn't ask for more than what it Served!

Meredith Jun 24 2024 8:57 am This was a drama made and thought for me and it didn't disappoint. It made me laugh and cry a lot. I loved the squad, especially the romance between Bom and Ki Joo. But most of all, the cast who became good friends irl. I am gonna miss you guys so much :D

Beth Jun 23 2024 7:42 am The story of the kid twin brothers squeezed my heart. I'm too emotional for these types of dramas, but I love them TT

portia Jun 22 2024 11:35 pm I binge-watched the first 10 episodes of this drama because it was actually very good, the script, the cast and the acting blew my mind. However, episode 11-16 starts to get "boring", although I was not expecting who the villain is, most of the scenes did not really keep up with my expectations. It feels like this drama would've been better as 12 episodes. I felt like they're dragging the plot to fill the 16 episodes. Anyways, this is my first Jo Woon drama and I still really enjoyed watching this.

7/10 ♡

Aiz Pam Jun 04 2024 10:30 pm Just binged the first 6 episodes of The Midnight Studio and boy what a great drama. It feels refreshing to have a kdrama w/ a plot like this again. A shop for ghosts sounds feels like the 2011-16 era. I always love the emotional side stories of ghosts and the family they left behind in every episode, it really pulls at the heart strings.

But the story that blew my mind away the most was that of Bom and Grandma. In the first 2 episodes, Bom came off to be petty and kinda annoying, but in the next episodes, as soon as it delved into Grandma So's point of view, we finally understood why Bom is the way she is. Grandma was pretty unforgiving towards her very own, her one and only granddaughter. Did y'all see how ghost grandma bossed Ki Joo around as well as Mr.Baek and Asst Mngr Go? She was ruthless, it was hilarious. The apple does not fall far from the tree indeed.

But what really broke me was how these two strong and independent women finally showed their true heart before they said goodbye. I especially loved that scene where Bom’s head was on grandma’s lap and grandma said “Do you want to sell tteokboki with me?” Man, my tears just kept falling and falling, until they said their last goodbyes.

I already know Kim Young-Ok is a great actress, but Kwon Nara is a revelation. She just stole my heart as Han Bom. Bom as a character excellently brought out all emotions there is. At first, she annoyed me, then made me feel sorry for her, grieved with her through her loss, swooned over her as she finally sympathized with Ki Joo and his circumstances, ROTFL when she piggybacked unconscious Ki Joo (geez they’re so unserious), and I just love how she was always straightforward with her feelings and actions. She never held back, even when she was rejected previously. Bom is definitely the kind of partner Ki Joo needs. Otherwise, if she didn’t push on to break down his walls, bro would surely just die single at 35. At least now he finally got his first kiss (screaming!!! they were so cute!!!), can’t wait to binge the next episodes next weekend :D

I’m truly falling for Kwon Nara in this drama, and when I finish this, I will surely binge all her previous dramas. What drama of her should I watch next?

Shai Jun 01 2024 9:46 pm I knew this drama would be worth the wait. Episode 4 was my favorite of all. Especially the scenes with Grandma where Bom cried buckets just reading the lines in the script reading video. Definitely saw Kwon Nara in a different light, she nailed all the emotional scenes, I cried buckets along with her. In the BTS, she even kept crying even when the director already said cut, lol.

Sri May 21 2024 9:19 am Now I understand why all were crying reading the script. A good drama has drama, suspense, funny episodes, as well as some beautiful songs in the background, if there is a season 2, that would be great. 10/10 Best drama 2024 for me without a doubt.

Kimchiboy May 12 2024 1:51 pm From now on, Kwon Nara is my celebrity crush

potato May 12 2024 2:10 am i really liked how the drama started but towards the end it started to only focus on the two leads love story instead of the actual photo studio stories, which is what i expected to get most of when watching it.

Beth May 11 2024 7:11 pm I really enjoyed this drama! Did I cry pretty much every episode? Yes, I did. I really liked the concept, that the dead can come back & take a finale photo with the living! I think that’s what made me so emotional, wishing that you could do that in real life! The acting, directing, and storyline was great! I think it had a good mix of a little comedy in there for light relief in between all the emotional scenes! It, of course, has a super happy ending for Han Bom and Seo Ki Joo, which I am so thankful for. But I think the other characters had their own version of a happy ending too. Would definitely recommend it! Another best thing about this drama aside from the main message? The chemistry between Kwon Nara and Joo Won. Their affectionate scenes are so natural between couples in their 1st 100 days. And the kisses, my god, smoldering fire.

Jungle_fish May 11 2024 10:01 am Ep 1-2 are so so but it's getting interesting starting ep 4, and reaching its peak in ep 13.. you have to endure the first episodes then you'll think it's so fun. Joo won looked so good with KNR here, and I love the couple of Yoo in soo and Lee bom sori, the character det. Baek is also interesting

SKY☁️? May 11 2024 8:18 am This drama is 9/10. It was soo goood, It gave vibe of 2017 dramas. the plot twist was really good. The actors did a great job. Surely worth your time

Rosa May 09 2024 6:35 pm This drama is such a gem. It showed us that not all happy endings are the same. Han Bom & Seo Ki Joo's ending is what everyone hopes for, a future together. But the 2nd and 3rd couple got their happy endings too.

Although Jiwon and Seungho's situation is weird, as long as it works for them, both are happy with each other's company, it's well and good.

The 3rd couple, Jin Na Rae & Mr. Baek's end was tragic if you look at it in a lense we see of the main couple, but in the end, his soul passed away just like he lived, in the service of society & justice. It was a sacrifice he knew was right, and happily chose. His ex wife also moved on & the light in her eyes came back with her new job. And we know she'll find the love that she was looking for someday, and she knows Mr. Baek has given her his blessing. So I think, all 6 of them had their own version of a happy ending :D

Nadin May 09 2024 4:11 am The final episode of The Midnight Studio was an emotional rollercoaster, evoking a torrent of tears that I couldn't hold back from the very beginning until the closing credits. The depth of the storytelling, coupled with the exceptional performances of the cast, resonated with me on such a profound level, making it impossible to remain unaffected. Every scene was meticulously crafted to tug at the heartstrings, delivering a poignant conclusion that will stay with me long after the screen fades to black. 10/10.

Hyun May 08 2024 4:44 am FL so cringe and ML like a robot I don't like them Plot seems interesting but i don't like the drama itself The ghost looks so cheap Poor editing I prefer the romance between the second couple

Xiao Mi May 07 2024 8:33 pm The best thing about this drama is the romance between Han Bom and Seo Ki Joo. This couple feels so real they just topped my long list of fave otp. Their chemistry just chemistry'd so well. Our safe zone couple, you will be missed. Go ahead and date intensely now :)

Yuya May 07 2024 3:16 am Omg, han bom is sooooooo annoying

maidriussi May 06 2024 8:39 pm Despite “Death” being the central theme of #TheMidnightStudio, the drama is super quirky and touching, definitely healing. The pairing of #KwonNara and #JooWon is great. There is genuine sizzling chemistry between Han Bom and Seo Ki Joo. All their affectionate scenes looks so real. Couldn’t help but squeal in excitement everytime Han Bom and Seo Ki Joo kiss, touch and hug. My fave pair and my fave drama of the year

Seungmin May 06 2024 4:38 pm 10/10. I only watched this drama because of Joo Won, and he did not disappoint! His performance brought the character to life so strongly, keeping me glued to the screen throughout. His incredible acting abilities immersed me in every scene, and I can't wait to see more of his work in the future.

Moon Cycle May 05 2024 9:24 am The more episodes to the end, it's become so lame, I got to force myself to end this as I've got this far, but man, it's not enjoyable,

Bella Ciao May 04 2024 7:57 am I just finished watching 4 episodes of this drama and I absolutely loved it! The Midnight Studio also brought me to love Kwon NaRa. It's nice to see her in bubbly and funny character once in a while I'm really starting to become a fan of hers. . I remember I used to have a love - hate relationship with her character in Itaewon but can't deny she’s a cutie and acting is good *thumbs up

Cosmos May 03 2024 12:20 pm Special credit to the casting team! actors/actresses fit perfectly to the characters! ❤

Daniel Powter May 03 2024 6:44 am The Midnight Studio literally the best drama of 2024. 100/100

Maggi Apr 30 2024 6:24 am I love this drama and all the cast especially the lead roles. Jowoon fighting. You're an excellent actor???

Maggi Apr 30 2024 6:22 am Jowon is also excellent in Good Doctor and Yong Pal. I love his previous performances. And now again he proved it. Very good job Jowon , Kwon Nara abd all the supporting casts.❤❤❤

Thesaurus Apr 30 2024 3:52 am A Must Watch Indeed! Hands down to Joo Won, Kwon Na Ra, Kang Insoo, Uhm Munseok. This is the best Joo Won drama for me! And Kwon Na Ra is an amazing female lead, her acting improved a lot than her other popular dramas. Kang Insoo is the best cast too and Um Munseok both best in acting and the Joo Won of course he is always the best and still the best even now. I love this cast and I think everyone nailed their roles. The Chemistry of the main lead is also Amazing! I will watch till the end

JG Sue Apr 29 2024 4:00 am Episode 12 & 13 broke me into pieces, I swear I thought Seo Ki Joo died when he faded. But good thing the preview shows they’re already celebrating his 36th birthday, but bad thing because although his seal/scar is gone, it looks like Han Bom has now been chosen by the camera, as expected. Can’t wait to see what happens next.

With all these mystery that is yet to be solved, I love that we're getting a lot of romance between our Safe zone couple to balance it all out. I love that they're so natural, like how it really is with new relationships, skinship galore, surprise kisses, impromptu hugs and the whole nine yards. One thing is for sure, the romance is romancing, & Nara & JooWon's chemistry is off the charts

Fann Apr 27 2024 11:37 pm just started this drama (currently on ep 5 right now) and I Really Like The Plot!!! but i don't like kwon nara acting idk she looks unnatural and her facial expression is so so... the main lead couple chemistry is weak too.. i think i'll skipp their scene often.. i will still continue because I'm curious the ghosts stories

Safe Zone Couple Shipper Apr 27 2024 7:37 am Aaaa Episode 8 was magnificent! The butterfly storm, the thrilling part, the quartet and everything else in-between! But the absolute best part was Ki Joo accepting and declaring his love to Bom. I am so in love with them! I love this story! Can’t wait to catch up with the rest of the episodes this weekend

suji Apr 27 2024 5:41 am yow, i didn't expect the killer... nice twist!

darara Apr 25 2024 10:58 am Beautiful Drama! Should be on Netflix or any OTT that available in my country!! Why? I'll give u some reason from my perspective.

1. Beautiful storyline/idea. Cry to many times because of every ghost story. But, the most painful is of course the main lead stories. Ki Joo, almost at the end of his life, finally found his true love. Bom-i, who lost everyone, now find happiness and live her life with a guy who will leave her. Also don't forget about Go and Baek's story. Criessss~~ ((some part are crazy funny. My favorite? The Aespa Dance in police station~~))

2. Acting! No one (I repeat) no one can even doubt Joo Won acting. Before your oppas, he already the OPPA in every television series. He is the legend. Every 'old' kdrama lovers' know him (maybe I'm a little bit exaggerate so forgive me - I just love him very much). Also, Kwon Nara is perfect female lead. She is the one: funny, witty, sometimes a little bit flat, cries a lot, but I love her. Chemistry on point. Other actors/actress also perfect, no worries.

3. OST. Almost all songs are sad song although some are love song. When I hear the opening title song, the sad vibes already there. So please prepare some tissue. Search these songs in Youtube: K.Will - All of My Time, Seungmin - Destiny, Elaine Kim - I Wonder Why.

4. Moral story. I know some of you maybe doesn't care at all about this stuff but if you love series with a lot of moral story, to give a meaning into your life, etc this drama perfect for you.

Everyone, life has been tough. Some good times fly away like dream. We lost our loves one. Or one day they leave us. Before that time comes, take lots of photos with your precious one.

Bigdyo Apr 25 2024 8:31 am Wow I love this drama. I did not know about it just recently when I saw a trending clips on tiktok where Kwon Nara's crying because her grandmother died. She was so good that I felt it was damn real I couldn't stop myself from crying. Thanks to that clip I got to know an amazing drama like this

Samantha Apr 23 2024 2:21 pm This is so good. Puts me in mind of shows like Tomorrow, Mystic Pop-up Bar and Hotel Del Luna. Didn't know Joo Won until this show. He did a great job acting. Love Kwon Na Ra. She nailed her character.

seogi Apr 23 2024 12:35 pm ep 12 jiwon date, is like 'beauty inside' film. same man inside with different face.

Sungho love Jiwon Apr 23 2024 11:12 am I'm crying in every episode, thank you

Yook Apr 22 2024 5:45 pm I don’t know why but I don’t like Nara’s acting here.

Claire C Apr 20 2024 8:13 am I’m really obsessed with this drama. Been replaying Episode 8 & 9 while waiting for Monday & Kwon Nara & Joo Won are really serving up the best chemistry in 2024. Romance is romancing, & goodness, the kisses, The Kisses!!! My god they look so in love. I just know they'll break my heart and soul on October 17, 2023, their final goodbye :(

MyOpinion Apr 17 2024 8:36 am I think Han Bom character suitable for Go Bo Byeol instead of Kwon Na Ra.. I'm not hating Kwon Na Ra nor fans of Go Bo Byeol but when i watch this kdrama, i think of Go Bo Byeol.. It's just my opinion.. Please don't hate me.. But i still wish the best to all actor and actress in Midnight Studio..

thrillme Apr 15 2024 10:27 pm Felt like an eternity waiting for Ep. 10 brilliant!! Really hope Seo Ki-Won gets to say something or hug is nephew before the whole story ends.

mimimomo Apr 15 2024 3:06 am started off great especially the cases were gut-wrenching. i cried in almost all episodes but their love scenes were mid, i didnt care much for their love story. Kinda bland and forced. Im more interested in his two assistants life story, way more interesting esp deputy go's search for his first love.

Dea Apr 14 2024 5:14 am Great drama, great acting, great visuals?, and gaksital leads reunion too ?

Rebel Louise Apr 13 2024 6:05 pm This is not a drama for everyone but it is 100% made for me! The perfect mix of fantasy, drama and comedy I will always be drawn to. After watching the first 2 episodes I am even more curious about the next EPs. This is gonna be a very wild run emotionally speaking.

Wopppeee Apr 06 2024 11:28 pm This drama is a must watch. Definitely gives Hotel del Luna feels which makes you cry every damn episode. Kudos to the characters especially Nara, your a great actress, hoping for more projects from her in the future. And Joo Won never disappoints ever since I watched him in the Good doctor, still versatile as ever <3

Aimen Apr 03 2024 11:22 am The best drama for me, these days ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

thrillme Apr 01 2024 2:00 pm Was liking it so far but Han Bom is a bully peer pressuring him to drink. The writer needs to put her in her place and stop making her all bossy.

Victoriaaaa_20 Mar 31 2024 7:49 am Its really good and perfect kdrama its really good drama and joo won is really acting soooo good !!~

Un modeste admirateur Mar 30 2024 9:46 pm Normally, I avoid judging actors by looks, but holy… I have to say Kwon Na-Ra and Joo Won are such gorgeous-looking main leads. They are like two cherry trees that have reached their blossom, and whose beauty you feel almost privileged to see. Sometimes the cameraman would zoom on their faces in the most common of situations, for example when the two are sharing a calamari dish. And I would think to myself: Just the look in their eyes and the steam coming out of the calamari dish make this common scene absolutely stunning, and redeem any imperfections in the script.

Tata Mar 30 2024 7:06 pm I love how the drama started off. However it became boring when I see the ML and FL actually have known each other long ago, like 'ugh this kind of plot again.' It would felt nice if the drama goes like 'finally i found my destiny, the one i searched the entire time,' like Master's Sun.

But well, that's the only disappointment. The other things are good. The way it gives a heartwarming vibes makes it outstanding. 8/10 for now, and I hope it gets more exciting.

Hannah Jane Mar 28 2024 11:06 pm When is the episode 6 ?

kkumkunda Mar 28 2024 1:31 pm reply to@nana there was a broadcasting issues so ep6 will be airing next week

May Mar 27 2024 9:07 am At first few episodes, I find it boring but I started loving it. It made me cry on the epidode 2. Episode 3 Ill cry even more. Losing love one is really sad. Im loving this drama every episodes.

Dyja Mar 27 2024 7:14 am It has the vibe of Master’s Sun + Mystic Pop Up Bar. I was crying every episode especially when the twins and FL halmeoni died. Prepare your tissue guys

Ahjumma MV Mar 26 2024 6:49 pm 1st four episodes delivered what I expected of the drama. Fun, emotional and well-acted! It has funny moments but it also pains me every episode. I’m liking the Nara and Joo Won & the squad dynamics.They're adorbs. Looking forward for next eps.

Gery Mar 26 2024 2:15 pm Is the writer or director of Korean Oddysey the same as this series?the vibe is familiar.

nana Mar 26 2024 12:04 pm wait why is ep 6 next week instead of Tuesday?

mike Mar 25 2024 6:37 pm Started good but devolve into those lame romance n plot again. the romance was bad..again with those i met u when i am small n we are fated to resolve the ML curse things like that.

the FL is a prosecutor where koreans need to study and be smart to be one but here the FL IQ seems to be 9. even more stupid than a kindergardener.

Blooms Mar 25 2024 11:32 am wow Ki Joo first client is Bom, maybe she didn't die she was just in a coma, like I've seen in other fantasy dramas (‘◉⌓◉’)

Fee Mar 25 2024 11:30 am Can't imagine, how lonely being the male lead. It's sad, fun, and touching story. Hope a lot of audience will love it too.

Aia Mar 25 2024 11:25 am Always love this genre, the story is really good.

Janna Mar 23 2024 11:36 am You must have a tissue—it very tough drama, my eyes is swelling because of every scene. Helppp me I can't recover from every episode of this drama

The best drama of 2024 so far!!!

Lala Mar 21 2024 7:32 am Suddenly it can be funny, suddenly it can be touching

Marsha Mar 21 2024 3:54 am The drama is good and touching but too common and light, it is simple and ordinary, the drama is similar to another drama, the drama is good but so so, just middle and ordinary, the drama with this concept back then more touching

Moooms Mar 21 2024 12:24 am The atmosphere look like missing the otherside.. you need a tissue to watch this dramaa :)

Pretty Mar 20 2024 12:06 pm Every episodes make me cry. Next episode, need to get tissue or handkerchief or wear long sleeves so I can wipe my tears and snot and all. Sad but nice. How lucky to get that chance, say good bye for the last time to your love ones.

Dqueen Mar 19 2024 5:16 pm So far, good drama!

Lord V Mar 19 2024 4:47 pm Main female lead... No comment. Difficult to watch. Episode 4 was only about how much the girl experienced the death of her grandmother. Not interesting. There is much more interesting kdrama.

Xyz Mar 15 2024 1:28 pm Done with the first 2 episodes... This is an exciting one. More 눈물 to shed i guess. ^^

Cliff Mar 15 2024 9:58 am I like this kdrama…very interesting ..complete packge action comedy drama., horror, mystery…finish ep 1 & 2…

Yhang Mar 15 2024 6:37 am I love this drama so far. EP 2 makes me cry so much. Looking forward to the next episodes.

MV Mar 14 2024 6:20 pm So far it's good, I shed tears everytime i heard the OST played on every goodbye scene. Every ep has its own ghost with a story, now I understand why everyone cried at script reading

Andromeda Mar 14 2024 3:14 pm I enjoyed watching the first two episodes.

Dran Mar 13 2024 6:32 pm A very promising start. It's fun, mysterious, emotional & episodic. The trio has that great chemistry & I can't wait to see more of the main couple, now that their worlds are intertwined! Han Bom is pretty mysterious...but the plot says she's the only one who can save the Ki Joo from his curse so I'm here for it

Emerald V Mar 13 2024 10:23 am It started off as a bit of comedy, so I even ditched it in the middle of watching it (I don’t like comedy / light dramas). But the drama itself was too intriguing that I decided to continue watching it.

Anddddd… I enjoy it now. Sad the ratings are not high though.

The drama is sad… can I go through it? But it’s very interesting, nonetheless.

Viewers don’t know what they are missing out.

Emerald V Mar 13 2024 10:11 am Another interesting drama, although at first, in the first 15 minutes into the drama, I thought it was going to be a comedy / light / cheesy drama. I actually stopped in the middle of watching it (I don't like light dramas). Is that why the viewing rate is 2%?

BUT... I was intrigued in the drama itself, so I gave it a try in the end... and... I like it (although I'm scared of all types of ghosts... even if they're not the serious kind).

Yes, it's different from other trendy genres lately. The acting is good, the editing is nice... and I WILL continue to watch this drama until the very end (though it's sad to see so many sad scenes) T_T Life itself is tough already.

Anyways...

Moon Mar 13 2024 10:10 am I really love this drama so far. I love this genre but I didn't aspect it to be sad in every episodes. Can't imagine when it comes to end. Those 2 assistants, it's gonna heartbreaking episode for sure when they have to say good bye to Ki Joo.Yeah, of course he gonna be saved by her,right? Anyway, I watched it because of Joo Won but I like it even more when In Soo in this drama too. It's a bit funny to me every time he said 'ak-hee/evil spirit' because I like him in 'The Uncanny Counter' so I guess he and evil spirit sticks together. Haha.

mariabettina01 Mar 13 2024 2:58 am Just watched Episode 1 and 2 and I'm so in love with this drama already. I love all the bickering going on in between the characters, and they're all so endearing. The backstories of the ghosts are heartbreaking, and the goodbyes are just bittersweet. I bawled my eyes out, much more so next week when Han Bom's grandma will pass away. Can't wait for Episode 3.

Grasshopper Mar 12 2024 12:05 pm Finally something different, The synopsis looks interesting, all dramas lately is pretty boring, I'll give it a try

Tam Mar 12 2024 5:56 am Watched ep1 with my 10yr old niece and we loved it!!!! Bulgasal unnie and Alice oppa and the casts are familiar. So nice to see them! I love fantasy, thanks for making this. ? We enjoyed watching. Eager to wait for next episodes!

Faith Mar 11 2024 2:13 pm It is giving hotel del luna vibes

Gaya Mar 08 2024 5:46 am May I know if this drama will be aired on Netflix? Eagerly waiting ?????

king julien Feb 17 2024 12:59 am if they cried that much during the script reading imagine how much we will cry ?

mariabettina01 Feb 17 2024 12:00 am Just watched their script reading behind the scenes and gosh this drama is going to be a cry-fest one. So excited how they're going to tell this story... And also super happy to see Han Groo again after a loooong time

thrillme Feb 10 2024 8:54 am Really hope the script isn't too goofy. It ruins the momentum and thrill of the story.

Sara Feb 10 2024 7:16 am I love Joo Won but I'll watch for Nara

Jew Feb 09 2024 3:07 am Yay! Finally, Joowon returns in Kdramalandia!

Pawilabyulongtaym Feb 08 2024 10:42 am Moonsuk? This gonna be chaotically fun ✌️?

Yoori Jan 28 2024 9:34 am Insoo and MoonSuk omg this will be a riot ?? Can't wait to see the chemistry of Jo Won and Kwon Nara!

Persephone:3 Jan 21 2024 1:48 pm Finally Kwon Nara drama comeback!!! :3

Blooms Jan 19 2024 2:13 am can't wait for this show, Joo Won and Eum Moon Suk (~‾▿‾)~

mariabettina01 Jan 18 2024 7:17 am Most awaited drama of the year. Missed you so much Nara!
