writting is kinda lazy and too convenient in some situations. idk what to make of her character, is it entertaining to watch her manipulate everyone around her even the people who care for her? maybe.. I guess. i've seen some people cheer for that. all right..? that's what the story revolves around it seems until now. it's just that I don't see any real progress to the story, she's just trouble everywhere she goes and that's it.

I wanted to root for the FL's character and story but she's so manipulative toward the men around that care for her, i just can't. She could have sent her father to jail but that doesn't make a better or interesting enough plot than sending an innocent guy there that tried to help her.

she should probably remember it as a traumatic event, even for a little girl to see someone drenched in blood should not be a happy memory. but her remembering him as her first love talking about head shapes, it's just a weird pushed dynamic. K-drama writers/producers just want to romanticize every childhood encounter like it was predestined and a love is more pure if they randomly met and are tied as kids. I just find it creepy as hell and unnecessary

Just watched ep. 5 and it's pissing me off. I dont't mind the popular ever occuring fake marriage main plot but.. What the hell are these writters thinking to romanticize every kindergarden level childhood encounter that the leads have. Is no romance possible and not wholesome enough if the leads have not met when they were literally children? How tf is this interaction wholesome in anyway that the writter is making the little girl having her first ''love'' a boy with his head full of blood which just had an accident, because she liked his ''head shape'' and she remembers him in her 30s? Like what the fuck? And then the boy is blamed by the other adults by the dead of his parents on his birthday? How does it makes the least of logic to blame a child just because the parent turned his head to talk to him when he should be watching the road in front? It's not even the dads main fault, because the criminal truck driver just swerved into their lane with the literal empty road and without even overtaking something. Maybe it's the criminal truck driver's fault and not the little boys? Does in these writters head , recycling the same childhood tropes and trauma sub plots over and over again almost each drama/romcom makes a good series, is there no any other sub plot idea to fill these episodes? It's been years and years and they are writting the same lazy ''safe plots'' not stepping their writting once, just making a generic copy-pasta kdrama these days is good enough it seems and the directors/producers are also fine with this.

no kdrama without childhood trope

how did he had the gun at him, they didn't search him?

this type of double standard was always present in kdramas and not only here. it is socially acceptable for a woman to slap/headbutt/flying kick a man and it often occurs either for the comedic factor or justified by some "because he deserved it" . if the opposite occurs some will lose their minds and call it unacceptable and scandalous calling for the show to be canceled. so on this situation her husband abused her because... he was just evil and a sociopath? for the plot? what's the story, why did she stayed for so long in such a relationship? she was a career woman it's not like she depended on her husband's money. did they have a child together? did she love him after all the abuse? was she bothered of social stigma of a divorcee? was she scared to report him because it might affect her career? or just for the plot and to villainise men once again while woman are always the victim? give a little bit of backstory either than some men are just abusive and violent POS.

I still think it's really hard even if the artist is good to replicate that with the dad detail, if something is slightly off then the face simetry for example is ruined. For what I know he didn't had acces to the painting and he didn't buy it, he just saw it somewhere or photographed it. He knew he wanted to copy it but somehow decided not to buy it, copy it then destroy it like you said. Although, can you replicate something with such detail from a photo or memory? It could just be a plot hole and. nothing more.

I think they were 6 months apart but yeah still hard to prove with so low distance apart. I'm still curious how did the artist replicate her painting with the dad detail.

She is portrayed as very knowledgeable and competent, that's why it's surprising her not talking to her client and ask her if she drew the painting or copied it. That's the basis for building her case, she has to know for a start if her client is guilty of the accusations. She just went there believing her client is innocent and the famous artist was the one who copied her.

Judge could just ask for painting analysis to determine which paint is actually older but I guess putting dad picture in the paint was a more interesting movie plot. Also, did she make multiple same painting that she sold? She sold one to the girls mother at the begining of the episode, but how did the artist manage to copy her painting perfectly with her dad face hidden and all the details just by seeing the paint somewhere or photogrpahing it?

How could she not even once, talk beforehand to the legally adult person she was representing that drew/sold the painting? Is that how you win a case? It looked grim and hopeless, case was pretty much lost untill FL Plot Armor kicked in towards the end.

Classic K-drama timing

Oh really? When they asked about the train conductor chosing to kill 1 person to save the other 100 even i f'ing knew it's legally murder but not the law school graduates.

This one of those shows where everybody is dumbed down so a lead can look good and cool it seems. If ML is as unlikeable as his ML role in Dear Hyeri i might drop this in the first half. The only depth i see in this show for now is the trauma trope of the leads exposed later on.

Just watched ep.11, i don't understand what's going on anymore, this got too confussing. Yeom Hwa villain plot dragging so much. Ji Ho fell into irrelevancy after second half of series.

Ji Ho character fell off. At the start of the series he was close to FL but ended up beeing forgotten most of the time. He looks pitiful, I wish writers had other plans for him other than involve him in a hopeless love triangle in which he has no chance because we know who ML is and who's on the poster as well. He's not even SML at this point he's more of a casual support in these last episodes. Of course in the end the good looking actors/eye candy ML/FL are the ones worthy of love in these dramas.

And then they randomly talk in their mid 30s about their first love like some shy teenagers.Or the ML FL know each other from highschool lost contact and met again in their 30s with neither one of them getting over each other. They really like to base the plot in these dramas on people not seeing each other for a decade and never moving on.

Typical forced kdrama timing at the end, why isn't the house guarded anyway so no one gets near after what happened, they just send Gyeon U there as a ''challenge/prank''? also i don't like the potential love triangle, we know who's on the poster and that Ji Ho has no chance, why make the guy suffer and feel left out after he has been there for Seong A from the start? FL actress is really good, would have probably dropped this if not for her.

i've wanted to watch season 1 but postponed it for so long, i think i'm gonna binge all 3 seasons this weekend if i get hooked from the start
