life is a drama

it has the boy's birthday greetings for the mother, the last one and holds clue what caused him to leave the compound

this would be much better than the cliche the trash husband scenario, they have introduced his character as being morally upright

I agree the manner of their acting is not befitting their ages or personality, that is not to say adults can't be cute or playful or at times childish but it just felt like PHS and PSH mannerism tipped over into the realm of silliness and the coquettish behavior is unnatural.

it is a pity they are going with the cliche cheating husband angle, if he had the affair after the son's death out of loneliness and grief it makes more sense, but no they took the easy way out to place blame.

the phone under the bed is the husband's phone, I hope they don't do the cliche husband cheating angle before marriage. but I see their marriage not lasting and the husband cheating on her after the kid's death, that is very realistic marriages fail after a tragic loss because a couple can't heal together.

well said

someone needs to explain South Korean legal system to us international viewers, I can't imagine a developing country passing this kind of sentence. even if the pedestrian does a illegal crossing if the car hits you the driver is ultimately responsible is charged vehicular manslaughter, and if they hit and run it is a murder charge there is NO WAY you will sentenced not guilty.

I think so tooooo the door is the clue, mother closed the door properly and it was opened by someone else.

FL will be crucified if this happens, for one if you are with living with a man for 5 years then that is enough time to figure out where your loyalties lie.

That is right, I guess the oldest boy is the married one. But both the sons look incompetent, evil schemers and wastrels. In Ha family is full on makjaang not sure they will be entertaining kind, they are more leaning towards yu ra from Marry My Husband annoying kind.

Not every comment section is like that, if you visit knight flower a well done drama that is loved by majority yes you can pick out the odd criticisms but generally you will read how appreciated that drama is for writing, acting and its overall excellent execution. Criticisms will be harsh against big budget dramas that has superstar ML actors expectations are high and when it falls short be prepared for brickbats, and after watching 2 episodes I sense the general disappointment is warranted.

When you have 2 powerhouse ML actors the inability of the FL to emote effectively stands out even more. Her backstory is not any more complex than the men that is not the problem, it could have potentially worked if appropriately played by an actor who brings more gravitas to her performance. Criticisms against the FL is valid she is an eye sore.

the problem withe recent bout of kdramas is writers cannot figure out how much plot is needed to sustain 16 episodes.

hahahaaaaaaaaa drunkS

I think majority are complaining not because it is there but it has become excessive, more importantly it is leading to lazy writing, redundant scenes, lack of creativity in staging scenes between 2 characters. Drinking is kculture most understand that but now the alcohol is contributing to poor drama quality that is more bothersome than the drinking itself.

why has it become like this. kdramas from even 5 years ago never used alcohol like this, it has become a plague now.

Drama started strong with very pleasant/likable/relatable lead characters who had healthy conversation and endearing interactions, but everything around them is ridiculous. The mystery involving the medical negligence of ML is not well researched by the writer it makes no logical sense from crime or legal POV, the side characters maybe the SML can get a pass but everyone else add nothing substantial to the overall plot. Ratings are inflated because of the popularity of the leads especially PHS you cannot fault his acting.

I really wanted to like this drama because the acting was decent and the actors had great chemistry but the foundation of their romance had no logic. Yes love has no logic and normally that is good enough premise but not here, when you have taboo relationship one as sacred as love between teacher and student audience needs a reason to break our own personal moral codes to root for this couple. He loved her at first sight chalk that up to hormonal teenager why did she like him back? I am your bloom did this premise better with solid motivations, unfortunately not here.

it is not that old dramas are rated low, it is more that the new dramas are rated too high. the current trend is overinflated ratings that does not accurately represent the quality of a drama. this complaint that old dramas have toxic characters, no they are not people are flawed it is a journey we see them change, grow and adapt it is not who they are that matters it is who they become, but now in the new dramas god forbid ML or FL does anything questionable they have to start perfect and become more saint like. old dramas did not shy away from showing human fragility, real people do terrible things make mistakes but nowadays audience does not have patience for that everything has to be a fantasy.

This part we see in a lot of Korean historical dramas, because the king despite being absolute monarch does not enjoy the kind of power Chinese emperors or Japanese emperors had, the way left minister talked would have sentenced him to death in a chinese court, there was even a ridiculous scene where the left minister just walked up to the king and casuallly touched him which is a NO NOOOOO. Joseon kings are generally showcased as weaklings who seemed to fear the court officials, this is probably true historically that is what makes kdrama kings so lame.
