    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.

      One of the main things that hyped it up was that we were on lockdown because of Covid. Nothing to do but look for some entertainment at home. Thankfully we had this show and crazy ass Tiger King.

      It’s a shame he did not really earn that much from making it tho. One of the reasons that Korean producers of such shows don’t want to work with Netflix.
