์—ฐ์• ๋ฐ•์‚ฌ, for anyone who survived a grad school lab

ENA's ์—ฐ์• ๋ฐ•์‚ฌ (roughly "PhD in Dating") is set in a robotics grad lab and Korean grad students say it's uncomfortably accurate. Choo Young-woo plays a PhD student who can't hold eye contact, the lab leader nags like it's a sport, and it feels like a real engineering lab with a romance stapled on. It opened at 1.8% and went to 2.4%, so basically nobody is watching yet. Good pick if your advisor still hasn't answered your email.

adding it. I need a romance where the main obstacle is a thesis deadline

It's also the late Ahn Pan-seok's final work, which makes those ratings sting a bit.

the obstacle is always the thesis deadline

the korean posts about the lab leader's nagging are hilarious, every grad student has met this guy

Teachers don't get a show about the staff room. I'll live vicariously through a robotics lab.

2.4% and the whole audience is grad students watching in the lab instead of working ๐Ÿ˜ญ

watching it in the lab instead of working is research at this point. ์—ฐ๊ตฌ์‹ค is where they live anyway
