It didn't even need the second one, imho...

This drama has romance tag in the genre.

They've said that she needs to get a manager license and driver's license. They've only shown very briefly that she passed driving license test first try easy as pie. Really disappointing stuff.

That's what obsessive psychos do, they often obsess over one thing or person.

Out of countless ones who hasn't.

I know, right? Writers gave very low effort here romance vise. Maybe they shouldn't even have started that mild SML pining thing at all and left it alone.

He's just an obsessive psycho.

To people complaining about lots of filler - I agree with you. That's it's only 12 episodes total makes it look even worse.
I dunno, I guess I was expecting this drama to be more about FL surviving on the island and her troubles fitting in to society later. But it was glazed over and swept under the rug very quickly, making the whole premise look contrived, ridiculous and unrealistic. I was also expecting to see more about her struggles to become a budding star singer, but FL and her plot seems to have taken the backseat. That dumb and draggy policeman dad sub-plot overshadowed and taken over this drama, like the real main goal of this drama is figuring out who is Ki-Ho and solving his family's issues.

SMLs never fail to not get the girl. Looking timidly from the side while ML is going off with FL. Doing nothing and then getting upset FL's already taken. Same old, nothing new here.

Also, what's your opinion here - is there gonna be romance between the leads or is it just friendship? I'm not feeling any romantic vibes here, tbh. Maybe something from SML, but not gonna happen as I wrote above.

I'm usually late to the hypetrain and watch dramas way after they were aired, but I've noticed that most of the dramas with super high scores are usually very overrated and, delving deeper, overhyped by fans because of some idol, popular actor, or because it's based on some super popular webtoon, or some other nonsense. It makes it a real headache to find something really worth watching. To sum it up, I've wasted a lot of time because of the hype. I've now stopped looking at the scores here altogether and try out dramas that have interested me with their plot synopsis, or trailers. If there are well argumented reviews available I read them as well. And if the drama overall is s*it, then it's s*it and it's time to drop it, doesn't matter who's in it.

Maybe psycho dad thought he killed both the mother and Woo Hak in that domestic violence incident, told everyone she ran away with another son and went away with Ki Ho to the island to lay low. Would explain why he's not looking for her at all or the other son.
Mother running away with badly hurt Woo Hak seems kinda unrealistic. Something had happened that allowed her and Woo Hak to get to the hospital and then stay away from him for good.
It's also not clear whether the psycho dad was their real dad, because in the last episode he said he took them off the streets or they would have died. Maybe it was badly translated, but maybe not.

Likely.

They've been teasing the pond somewhere getting low on water due to drought throughout episode 6. And in the Netflix clip a car with four skeletons will be recovered from it.
I dunno, I guess Ki Ho's current family could have used those dead people's identities. But how those people died and whether they were killed is unknown.
What I also don't get is the timeline of events:
-They're all living together with policeman dad and Woo Hak getting hit by a chair
-Ki Ho living with the policeman dad alone

Also, whether policeman dad is their real dad at all - it is kinda questionable at this point because of what he said about taking them off the streets.
And another thing, the policeman dad isn't looking for Ki Ho's mom and other brother at all. Like he thinks they're dead or something.

So you're thinking the whole 4 of them took identities of those people dead in the car? How that happened I wonder and when. And I don't get how Ki Ho got separated from his brother and mother, or when that chair incident happened, or how long did he live with his policeman dad (if he really is his real dad)? And why his current step dad needs a fake identity at all.
Also, what is strange is that the policeman dad isn't looking for mom and the other son at all. Just Ki Ho. Does he think they're dead? Did he try to kill them?

Thanks. And wow, 4 bodies?! What does that mean?

Where is that trailer? I'm not seeing it in episode 7 preview.

So, what happened? The brothers mother killed her first husband and brothers real father in domestic violence incident and drowned him in the pond or something? And her next beau, the psycho policeman "dad" covered it up and took them all in as his family? He said they would have starved on the streets without him, kinda implying he's not their real dad.
And now the pond's gonna reveal the body soon due to drought? That it? That's what Bo Geol/Ki Ho is trying to cover up? He doesn't want mom to go to jail? I'm confused. Also, when was this? After he ran away from him on the island or before?

EDIT: Nvm, just saw the Netflix clip and there were 4 (!) skeletons in that pond recovered from a car. Wtf. I don't even know anymore.

I can understand FL here, since she has lost everything she clings to what's left of her old life - her dream of becoming a singer, fangirling over Ran Joo and finding her only real friend Ki Ho.
However, the show conveniently keeps Ki Ho (Bo Geol) in this sort of stasis - he still has no girlfriend/or family of his own and still lives in fear of his psycho dad finding him. Would that have happened realistically? Kinda hard to believe. At the very least that dad would have already been reported, given a restraining order followed by jail time.

Without Ki-Ho mystery this drama would not have enough plot for 12 episodes. However, I still find Ran Joo and FL's part of the story more interesting to follow than boring brothers subplot, because it was obvious Ki-Ho is Bo Geol from the beginning. Him giving the cold shoulder to FL and keeping his family in the dark about the cray cray dad's whereabouts also feels kinda selfish and potentially dangerous.
