Summary
Han Hyo Joo and Park Hyung Sik to Paint Out the Post-Pandemic World in āHappinessā

Han Hyo Joo, Park Hyung Sik, and Jo Woo Jin are ready to introduce a world where a new pandemic has broken out, surfacing out various types of people.
On November 1st, tvNās new Friday-Saturday series Happiness held its online press conference. Director Ahn Gil Ho, Han Hyo Joo, Park Hyung Sik, and Jo Woo Jin attended the event.
Happiness is an apocalyptic thriller that illustrates the survival of the characters isolated in a high-rise apartment, a miniature of a hierarchical society. Set against the building that has been locked down due to new infectious diseases, the show portrays fears, fierce survival, and thrilling mind games between the survivors. For this highly-anticipated series, WATCHER crew Ahn Gil Ho and writer Han Sang Won joined hands once again.
Director Ahn explained, āHappiness deals with the conflict and selfishness of people in the extreme situation when a disease similar to rabies spreads in the near future.ā He added, āIt depicts the process of finding the happiness of people in an isolated situation, just as the happiness we each pursue is different. The most important thing to me was that all those taking place in a virtual environment could approach people as real as possible.ā
For the project, Han Hyo Joo turned into a charismatic and tough SWAT agent. āI was unfamiliar with what a SWAT agent does, so I studied to understand the profession,ā she shared. āIn fact, because the story takes place in an apartment that has been locked down, Sae Bom as a resident comes out more than her as a SWAT agent. And that Sae Bom is not so different from me. Rather than planning something, I just melted myself into the work and acted naturally and comfortably.ā
Park Hyung Sik had chosen Happiness as his first work after his military discharge. āItās been a long time since I took part in the first day of filming, so it was awkward,ā he commented. āThe reason I chose Happiness was because I thought I would show a side that I had never shown before. Another reason was that I wasnāt sure when Iād have an opportunity to work with this crew and cast.ā
Meanwhile, Happiness will premiere on the 5th at 10:40 PM KST.

Have any of yāall checked Soompiās music charts over a long period of time? They say that they put together all the Korean and Intāl charts and give those results for the top ten albums/singles.
"Soompi Music Chart takes into account rankings by various major music charts in Korea as well as the hottest trending artists on Soompi, making it a unique chart that reflects whatās going on in K-pop not only in Korea but around the world. Our chart is composed of the following sources:
Gaon Singles + Albums ā 30%
Hanteo Singles + Albums ā 20%
Billboard Korea ā 20%
Soompi Airplay ā 15%
YouTube K-pop Songs + Music Videos ā 15%"
After observing the chart for about a year, Iāve noticed something. We usually say that boy groups on an average are more popular than girl groups. But it always seems to be the opposite on the Soompi chart. Other than BTS, no boy group album stays on the chart for very long. They eventually drop off and disappear. But the GGs are the ones that stay! Even now, 7 out of 10 albums on that chart are either GG albums or female solo artists. Other than BTS, there are no boy groups up there, though NCT and SEVENTEEN have released albums very recently and remain at the top of brand rep charts. QUEENDOM(Red Velvetās August comeback) is still on the chart!
I wonder what the reason isā¦

Iām watching Love Script and I have such trouble with these scenarios. As a psychiatrist she shouldnāt be developing romantic feelings for her patient. Heās emotionally vulnerable and it is unethical. It takes me right out of the story.
Even though ultimately I liked it, I had the same problem with Kill Me Heal Me

I have no idea, I donāt listen to GGs I simply donāt like their more bubblegum sound. I like the harder edge that the BGs tend to have *Huge Generalization, Huge *

Thatās really interesting. Iām barely a Kpop amateur, so I have no explanations for it. I remember seeing a headline recently about one of the GGs MV reaching over a billion or even a billion and a half views on YT, and I was floored because my fave groupās most viewed MV only has 500 million. I know that BTS is mega popular, but I donāt know what kind of numbers they get in things like that.
One thing I do know is that GGs are incredibly popular among the male population who are serving in the military. My variety show talks about it a lot about how their viewership ratings are always highest when GGs are on as guests because the military guys always watch those the most. I donāt know if that kind of thing can account for the chart you are talking about, but I guess itās reasonable that maybe we are only immersed in the boy groups because the fangirl is more likely to be online and talking about their groups but fan boys maybe arenāt in online fan forums but are listening just as much or watching videos? Thatās a HUGE generalization too, but itās been my personal experience.
As @sweetybirdtoo said, I do not pay any attention to any GGs other than being familiar with a few group names and a very few individual members.

Iām just finishing episode 6.
She claims to be his doctor but sheās not acting like it, sheās acting like a silly girl in love. She should realize sheās lost her objectivity and quit being his doctor. Her unethical behaviour is taking me out of the story, the writers donāt care about what would happen in real life. Odds are sheād be being investigated at this point and probably lose her license.

I donāt know about any other countries, but I remember that we got this subject in ethics class. Is it ethical to date a patient who you are treating? Iām not going to answer that question, but I will say one thing. You should avoid getting personal with your patients and if you notice that you canāt, you should really refer them to a colleague. Dramas and films donāt like this concept, with some exceptions 
Btw, I havenāt watched this drama yet, so IDK what happens in there

BTS and BLACKPINK are just extremely, extremely huge. They hit billions of views pretty easily (A BTS MV recently became their 15th to hit 400M). The numbers are crazy. I have no idea why Aespa are SO popular, but okay. They seem to be the next high-fliers.
iKON is a YG group with average popularity, so they donāt hit 500M very easily. Actually, other than BTS and BLACKPINK, itās pretty hard for MVs to reach 500M. The MV youāre talking about is most probably Love Scenario, and it hit 500M because it went viral. It trended a lot and stuffā¦ like SVTās Donāt Wanna Cry and EXOās Love Shot/Growl. It also depends on the time when it was released and how many years have passed. For example, EXO is definitely more popular than iKON, but theyāve never hit 500M. But if you compare the average views, EXO has more. iKON has 500M on Love Scenario, but the rest of their MVs are in double digit millions(except Killing Me), while EXO averages at 100M for most of their MVs.
This is a good hypothesis!

I understand where you are coming from. Itās rare to see the medical profession portrayed accurately in Asian dramas, and mental health especially. It can be very troubling to a viewer. Frankly, I think most dramas donāt do justice to any of the professions portrayed. Itās all fantasy. Most times I can overlook it because Iām not part of any of job fields portrayed and my tolerance is high. I did enjoy Love Script, but for sure it had flaws in the portrayal of the FL professional behaviors and the views it expressed about the field of psychiatry.

So true, police are also poorly portrayed, so often theyāre bumbling fools, incompetent, or corrupt, that annoys me too.
Iām just not in the right mood/mindset at the moment.

Ahhh the police 
The dilemma is: make the police competent, and you have to create a mystery/action thriller. If the mains arenāt the police, but a group of misfits or students who should be studying or whatever, they wouldnāt have anything to do because the police are so competent. If you make them bumbling fools, thereās more room for comedy. At least, thatās how I think the thought process goes. The corruption is real so we canāt escape that. The force was portrayed nicely inā¦ DOTS. You Are My Hero(Chinese). Canāt think of any other LOL.
I remember reading the comments on the Hyun Bin movie āConfidential Assignment,ā which is about NK-SK police collaborating. Hyun Bin is on the NK side, so all the North Korean police look better and are more competent than the SK police. I get that SK thinks of NK like a little brother who has gone astray, and so tries to portray them as such, but they donāt have to go THAT farā¦
