#kdrama After 2 episodes of #wearealltryinghere I am at a loss of what this is all about??? It feels like the theme is 'it is hard being queer in Korea' but I doubt that is the case. I don't dare to search online what people think this is about bc of spoilers. (Watching this together with partner and he also got that vibe btw) I do recognize a few things from #mymister which is cool.

@mel I’m watching too. Epi 5. It’s… different!

I’ve decided to just sit back and let it unfurl. I did that for MyLibNotes and Lost which became some of my fave dramas of all time.

At times I think it is about what it really takes to be creatively successful (help & collective support) vs the idea of individual genius.

It also seems to be about how just a tiny bit of kindness & help or human emotional connection can literally save a life. Very much, as you said, like My Mister.

Yes. I haven't yet watched any shows this weekend, but I believe that it's unfurling in a slowly hopeful way. The 2 leads, in particular, are facing incredible hopelessness in the beginning, and their characters are pretty frustrating. I'm very hopeful for them. There are a bunch of incredible actors in the show. I was thrilled to recognize the frequently used railway crossing from My Mister, which I visited in Seoul. A visual metaphor.

@EllenInEdmonton @AnnaAnthro Yes, I am not giving up! But I am puzzled, ha. The dialogues are great. And I recognise certain sayings etc
