I think you are confusing two separate things. The initial post was referring to the depiction of cheating in the first episode. as I stated in my post cheating is unfortunately a part of this life. Just because everyone isn’t cheating doesn’t mean it didn’t happen on the regular. Hence a harsh part of life. You hope that the person you love will ways remain loyal to you but unfortunately it’s not always the case. It is a gamble you take when you put your heart on the line. The FL in this show allowed her former feelings to negatively impact her decision making. Her friends were disappointed in her and she’s facing consequences as her bad decision has now forced her to tamper with evidence. How was it normalized at no point in the plot did it condone her activity? Not to mention her friends were disappointed in her & she will eventually have to face the consequences of her actions as the plot develops. The cheating is not even the main plot it’s only a subplot to move the story and connect the characters hence why there isn’t much focus on her. you are turning this into a gender war and expecting too much when there’s only been two episodes. At least wait until the story finishes before you start the gender clashes.

You have to realize that characters serve the plot. The SML is there to bring up the fire so we can get the full story. You know damn well that along the way the SML will have that conversation with the ML and they will resolve their conflict. It’s just Korean drama formula and characters can’t ignore each other in real life because they serve as plot devices. Hearing sides will clear up and discrepancies and misunderstandings between the characters so it has nothing to do with respect. Also the SML just shows up in front of her house and starts talking. Not much she can say or do when she has no idea about anything that occurred in the past.

cheating is a unfortunately a harsh part of life and it’s not even central to the main plot. Just a side plot they are using to sort of complicate the death of the reporter. Her husband will eventually find out.

what’s the name of the Swedish drama this is based on?

did you watch the ending? She said she didn’t even bother asking anything or question what he said because she has ultimate trust in the ML. She didn’t even ask him to clarify what happened and allowed him to steer the conversation. She clearly loves and supports him. pls we know based on her entire story that she’s not a super confrontational person.

Listen I didn’t like the SML in the beginning but now I really don’t like him. Imagine you have a best friend that is getting brutally abused by their father to the point that they tell you that one day they fear that their father will kill them. That same best friend is now tasked with also keeping his nephew safe. There is some sort of fire that happens and you really don’t know the details. pls he disappeared with the money you planned on giving him. Instead of being concerned about your friend and his nephew and wondering what happened and wishing that they remain safe you decide to villainize said friend and speak badly about him. On top of that you are a whole lawyer and you accuse your friend of murder with zero evidence. You didn’t even give him the benefit of the doubt to ask him what happened. When the ML said he killed his dad it’s gonna be the typical story where he really didn’t kill him but he thinks it’s his fault it happened. Koreans love to take ownership of deaths that are not their faults all the time.

Lol the comment being how do people watch this types of shows with a straight face yet here you are under every romance story complaining about the same thing and always obsessing over the sexual status of the characters. why don’t you just stop watching Korean romance dramas since it doesn’t appeal to your incel mindset????

in the earlier episodes he stated that he would not reveal her location and respected her right to get away. Now he reveals her personal life with cloudy information about the ML and provides her location. The least he could have done was give the FL a heads up. very useless character all around.

I think we probably will not get any insight into the dad. The mom was introduced cause she’s the sister of the ML.

they never revealed the dad. We don’t know who he is.

I’m sorry but the SML reporting her personal life to her parents and giving up her location irritated the hell out of me. Considering what she endured and how she’s finally healing he had no right to interject himself in her life in that way. Also the audacity of the mom to talk about I’m gonna go drag her back and how dare she get involved with another parent when she never did so to begin with. I was so happy to see the FL and ML finally be happy and now the dark cloud is on its way 😤

It’s not understandable in my opinion because it was an accident. Not to mention it’s not like he just moved on. It something that has psychologically impacted him so much so that he can’t even touch a person’s hand. Not to mention if she loved his bother in any capacity no chance would he want his brother to live a torturous life. so she’s also dishonoring her husbands loved ones by emotionally torturing his family. She’s also harming her own daughter by trying to force her to hate the only father figure she has. She’s mentally unwell and I don’t understand her at all. That’s an interesting therapy tbh and would make more sense as to why she’s behaving the way she is.

He didnt agree to run the company he agreed to work there in exchange for his mother getting a divorce. Thats why she was able to create a team of “losers” to undermine him o he doesn’t move up the ranks. But he was rarely showing up to work cause he had no true ambitions to work in said company. If the sister behaved normally she could have been eventually running things. I think the ending was fine to me. it has a million tropes of course but I’m used to kdramas having mediocre endings. Especially on Netflix. If you don’t go in with high expectations the drama will be a fun watch.

I wish that the trope with the secretly in love best friend could be wiped from this earth. As soon as they see the ML/FL moving on they decide it’s time to share how they really feel. why can’t the friend group just stay friends????? The storyline with the sister in law makes no sense. She’s severally mentally unwell and should get therapy asap. So she doesn’t want him to work? she doesn’t want him to have a child or get married. Why doesn’t she just kill him?

yea but despite what the dad wants the brother hasn’t really shown any real interest in the family company. he created his own company and the only thing he wanted was his mom.

for me personally it was a decent watch. nothing spectacular about it. I was mostly interested in finding out about the murder. the couple was just not doing it for me. They had no chemistry in my opinion. Also I just couldn’t connect with the fan girl aspect cause I personally view it as a mental illness. It’s not normal to be that obsessed with strangers. I can’t get past her being that much of a fan girl and them dating it’s just too weird for me. Nevertheless it’s a mindless watch.

I know but I’ve seen it happen so many times in kdramas about parents signing things in regards to their adult children. Don’t know how it’s even a possibility and why a company would even do that knowing that it wouldn’t hold up in court.

I’m catching up and in episode 6 it said that the mom signed a contract for the son. I’ve noticed this before in kdramas but how is it possible for parents to sign things on behalf of their adult children? minors I understand but is there no legal adult age in Korea? How can possible be valued to sign a company contact and receive payment without authorization of the adult in question.

I just finished episode 4 and I’m so confused as to why the sister is so hateful to the ML and why she’s in competition with him when it’s so clear that he is literally disinterested in the family company. No one that’s interested in inheriting the family business starts their own business. Even the deal he made with his dad is proof enough he doesn’t want the job.

I’m sorry but there is no redemption for the SML. He is just as disgusting as his father and brother. He was going to burn vulnerable people to death. He knew there was women and children in there. Even the other men hesitated and didn’t like the idea of killing those people but he wanted to keep going. Anbody that defends his character is just one of those loser fans that can’t separate actor from their character. What annoys me about this show is that the FL is suppose to be a badass character but they have been writing her as a damsel in distress to be constantly saved by the ML all the time. We would have love to seen her save herself from that arrow but no the prince has to be the hero.
