I’ve only seen School 2017 so far. I think it had a solid first episode. There were and could be some frustrations to deal with throughout the run, but I might be willing to take the ride.
TIL: Subway gives Korean children lung and liver cancer. Subway = Alcohol + Cigarettes. Do Korean adults get vaccinated against this malicious substance before appearing in dramas? #Duel
I feel like my teeth have rotted out of my mouth after the last episode+ of #SuspiciousCliche. Bon voyage, JCW. Don’t let Kim Jong Un and Trump blow you up! We live in interesting times.
Same, man! There were so many times I was like. JiWook. There’s nothing but love on my side but…no. Just…no. This was one of them (another was when he started critiquing Bong Hee’s outfits. Anyone anywhere would have told him that’s not going to end well for you, friend.
It is such a gross violation of attorney ethics that Ji Chan Wook gets to try this case. He represented the killer as his defense attorney. Can we get the simple stuff right? #SuspiciousCliche
with your seeming hatred at every thing, why cant you stop talking about it? that cliche hashtag has lost its´ novelty, too, I think you should try and invent a new one for every post
Because coming up w/ a new hashtag constantly is a lot of work? I can’t be constantly clever hah. Is done now. Will have new shows to snark at and sometimes enjoy. See other comments re: lookout, duel, FMW.
The show really was tremendously cliche tho. Was there any moment of the show that we haven’t seen before in a dozen other dramas? There was enjoyable chemistry, some excellent fashion, and I enjoyed the lead actress (her name escapes me at the moment) who I’ve never seen before, but by and large, the show was paint by the numbers with lots of cliches.
I suspect six months from now no one will remember this show overmuch except as JCW’s army swan song.
And yes, once I adopted the Cliche moniker, it just stuck. I wasn’t putting a tremendous amount of energy into the show other than following it through the finish (which I usually do, even on shows I find bland because I’m in for a penny, in for a pound usually). I don’t think it was tremendously inaccurate.
I didn\’t hate the end of #Lookout. Dohan dying to save SooJi made sense to me. Where did his character have to go after this? Back to Instagramming fancy meals he couldn\’t afford, I suppose.

During School 2017 half of the class had their meal at subway. I guess it’s the new High School food trend.

Why are they still running a law firm out of Jiwook’s house when he no longer works for the firm but is back as a prosecutor? #SuspiciousCliche
