More Brilliance in scriptwriting
29 December 2022
A gentle and subtle tale of life with some lovely characters and vignettes.

Lovely casting and the set is cool.

I especially like the facial expressions of the coffee shop owner and also the gentle eyes and face of his girlfriend.

The apprentice is well played and the two actors have understated chemistry.

Research on coffee is impressive and links the story well.

I have new interest the next time I visit a coffee shop Acting and filming is superb too It just reinforces my view Korea has the best tv in the world and am thankful Netflix has been able to bring us such high quality and different programming to the rest of the world.

Another Korean masterpiece of casting,scripting and production.

Love the family farm the set is masterful and beautiful. The taciturn ex gangster is totally cool.

Koreans underestimate their shows

They beat every USA piece of shite.

They producers and casting do an awesome job.

It's sad how corrupt korea is

society at the upper middle class is so self absorbed.

That said the production and drama are wonderful.

Cowardly crooked narcissistic thieves. In the 60s and what's really changed...

This era culpable for deaths of thousands of young aussie boys in another pointless war called Vietnam.

The establishment media corrupt Kind of makes you mad

This is the great Aussie story. Great casting And a fascinating story of the greed is good era.

Alan took on the pompous poms. Lost because he underestimated tiny Rowland who was his carbon copy Great memories.

And he got the America's cup.

Beautiful costumes nice locations

Uninspiring cast Boring boring boring slow slow slow timeline.

Try hard but doesn't cut the genre Storyline is too nuanced.

Capitalised on young easily influenced followers and greedy landlords and a stupid vc.

I don't care

But I enjoyed this. Next generation was awesome. Yes it's great to have those memories...we all get old. But all in all this is exciting and engaging. Hard to find a cast as great but they give it a shot.

Well cast An insight into Korean life in its normalcy. Goes beyond the gloss of normal KTV and shows the gritty reality of Korean life and perhaps why young Koreans call Korea He'll on Earth

One wonders why the customs dept don't employ more Chinese speakers on the frontline. Also why airlines originating from China don't show landing videos in Chinese.
