1. Lee Joon-hyuk? Say no more, I’m in.
…Everyone else is cool too, I guess.

2. Jang Nara reuniting with yet another costar? And the show is about them doing some vaguely anticapitalist/anti-consumerist things?? Oh god, maybe 2023 won’t be utter shit after all.

3. Yet another drama with a second season… Can we please stop this. I’m begging all the execs and higher-ups to please stop. I don’t even remember the first season being all that successful either so what the hell is going on?

4. This poster is beyond gorgeous. I love me some neat, illustrated artwork and Joo-won looks fantastic in that ripped black-shirt thing he has going on. However, I’m convinced the writer was on drugs when coming up with that vigilante name, because what other explanation could there possibly be for ‘Skunk’? No judgment, but I need to know.

5. Dear drama gods, please please PLEASE DO NOT make Lee Moo-saeng into a terrible person or an adulterer again for the upteenth time. My heart cannot handle it. He has to play a good male lead at some point – please let this be the one. Lee Young-ae is an incredible actress and I’m so glad she’s becoming more active in tv productions again.

6. That cast looks way too green for my confidence. Also, what the hell does an ASMR-style drama even mean??

7. Wait, wait, wait, nobody told me Yoo In-soo was gonna be in this? I was already interested in the drama with the cast I did know about, but this amps up my anticipation level ever more – despite still being more than a little confused about the premise.
