I haven't seen it yet! Was it actually good or just trendy?

    The trend was safely justified

    This is accurate.

    I do think it was a little overblown though, in the sense I think it was so new for western audiences to enjoy anything foreign so that may have amplified some of it. Like it was good, we gotta convince others to give it a chance despite being foreign.

    The creator spent I think like 10 years writing the story before it got made? It's not like many netflix series in that regard.

    Worth watching, but only watch in English if you think you can get over the dubious dub. After a few episodes it mostly stops bothering you, but it's probably better to watch in Korean with subtitles if you're sensitive to that.

    I started watching it because I wanted to see what the hype was about, but I was instantly impressed by just how good it was. The writing, acting, direction and themes are consistently strong, and while the ending was a little strange, it's overall phenomenal.
