Hello! Yes, welcome to my blog, where MLSHR never dies. lmao 

Unfortunately, they’ll never release anything (extra scenes, s2, extra episode, etc) because the director/production company hates happiness us. :) I think the fandom would cry tears of joy if they would just release the reunion scene (which we know they filmed), but NOPE. Instead, it’s destined to gather dust in a hard drive somewhere in South Korea. (;___;) What irks is that the reunion is probably superrrr short, going by the brief re-enactment Lee Joon Gi and Lee Ji Eun did at JG’s fanmeeting. So why not just release it?! I can’t see it being any longer than Soo seeing a handkerchief, then looking up to see modern!So - cut to flashback.

Oh, and SBS isn’t to blame. I mean, they’re to blame for certain things, but not this. Blame the director, Kim Kyu Tae. lol (No srsly, he sucks.)

Yes, he sucks. :) (I'll never pass up an opportunity to say that, lol. ;P) But I’m happy that the link helped cure you somewhat. ;) SoSoo totally met in the modern day, I refuse to believe anything else! And I adore JG and IU. Besides MLSHR, those two encompass almost all the other content of my blog now, haha.

The director just doesn’t care. ʅ(ツ)ʃ He got his money, so it’s off to the next project. And nope, he definitely does NOT listen to Korean fans. lol Maybe in the beginning when people complained about the lack of JG/Wang So (part of which led to re-editing, which then led to there being two versions - the international version and the domestic Korean version). But the Korean fans are the ones who had to deal with him when petitioning for an uncut DVD/Blu-ray and they’re the ones he treated like crap. International fans aren’t even on his radar. They might have had such staff while the drama was airing, but everyone has already long moved on to the next job. 

They had to rush editing because the entire drama needed to be reviewed before it could be aired in China. (The director couldn't handle such a schedule.) But even then, I still can’t forgive how bad the editing turned out. Like, a “professional” did that. lol

I also heard great things about the director since his previous work includes It’s Okay, That’s Love, etc. I personally hadn’t watched anything in his filmography before MLSHR, so I can’t judge him on that. However, I can judge him for all the awful things that went awry with MLSHR. 

Don’t get me wrong. There were things KKT did right. But the things that went wrong were so bad (the editing and music editing were two huge factors imo, among other things) that it cost the drama its audience at the beginning because people just ended up dropping it. Plus there were just a bunch of behind-the-scenes stories that revealed he was in no way prepared to handle a pre-produced drama. On top of that (yes, there’s more), he treats the fans like shit when they petition for an uncut DVD/Blu-ray release of the drama. Petitions like that are the norm in SK since they don’t tend to release kdramas in DVD format unless there’s a demand for it. There are just so many stories that have permanently soured this director for me. :/
