Everyone seems to love this series and you know what, if that's your personal opinion, then so be it but I can't get behind the romanticization of manipulation and excessive possessiveness. In this show, we are all supposed to feel bad for Ming and support them getting back into a relationship because he apparently loves Joe and doesn't mean to hurt him, but we forget that regardless, he still does. Mans literally ruined his career knowingly and literally kidnapped him, that isn't love, love is something where you want the other person to be happy, and all Ming cared about was himself and how he felt.
The whole "Your mine" thing, yeah that wasn't cute, that was weird. He didn't love him, he wanted to basically own him. He thought of Joe as an extension of himself and expected him to not have a life of his own, he just wanted him to cater to his needs and the rest.
I won't sit here and say the acting was bad, but I will say the characters (Ming and Tong) were borderline psychotic. The fact that y'all are standing up for Ming actually disgusts me. I don't care if the synopsis, the novel, or even the freaking author forewarned me this isn't about that this is about the fact that behaviors like Mings are being romanticized and are seen as he loves me. I didn't expect much from this drama but it was even worse than I expected.
I hope you all understand that the actions Ming displays in this show are signs of abuse, and you guys all want to call him a flawed or complex character, but he isn't just flawed or complex; this man, by far, is one of the worst I've ever seen. Would you call a real-life abuser a flawed person who just made some mistakes, no, because we understand that they do those things willingly. While this isn't real life, it's supposed to mimic it, and Ming's actions should be seen for what they are. So stop using the whole "He's a flawed character" excuse and look at his actions for what they are, abusive.
I guess he stays true to his upbringing though, rich, spoilt, and thinks everything he wants should belong to him. You say he makes the story interesting, but interesting at what cost. The whole thing with him saying that he fell in love with Joe's back isn't cutting it for me.
Another thing is how easily we grazed over the fact that he literally was harassing new Joe, he took advantage of his need for help and kept using that. Keep in mind, though we know he was old Joe, all Ming had was a hunch, and just with that he started harassing this poor guy. It was that easy. Imagine that wasn't old Joe, imagine he harassed a poor guy because he reminded him of his ex. That's sick behavior. He's an abuser who only cares about himself and doesn't care about the people he hurts as long as he gets what he wants.
Y'all romanticize relationships like this on national television, but when people actually experience them in real life, y'all are up in arms (as you should) without seeing how supporting TV shows like this have a negative impact. Put the show aside and forget about the soul swapping. If you had heard this story on the news, would you still side with Ming? and if you say you would, that just shows me how sick you are.
Complex or flawed characters aren't the only problem here, there's another one and that's the fans who hype it up while pushing aside or not even acknowledging the bigger issue here.
They are for sale but they are also free as i said the link leads you to her posts and if you stay there and scroll down on her posts you should see Divorced Singles S6 episodes and if you click read more you see the links and I usually pick the Dood one because it works well. But hey should be there for free.
I thought i would leave this link here to all the subs for this season because it literally took me 10 years to find it and I think this show is good and I don't want people to drop it due to lack of subs. Credits all go to iheartu2 who subbed all of them (I think): https://datingshowsmaster.blogspot.com/2023/07/divorced-singles-3-eng-sub.html
Just finished this for good. Then after I watched this I watched The Boyfriend. Both are amazing!Tbh, I would…
Not to hate on S3 but i would not recommend you to watch this show it was overall so messy and I didn't feel genuine connections even though couples came out at the end if you go into it thinking it will be anything like TB and HM than i would recommend you stay away from it. If you really want to watch it I say try it but if you're anything like the other people who've watched it you wont like it very much
I just finished watching the series and I've got to say it was amazing. Everyone seemed to think JJ and SS were going to be a money-money couple but I lowkey knew they genuinely liked each other. But I have to say Inuk deserved better Gabin always overlooked him and I guess she got her own consequences for that. (Chanwoo being a money catcher) The thing is I never liked Chan Woo I don't know something about him that never sat right with me. He was also very annoying like when he was going to make breakfast with Gabin on the second day and this man wore a whole suit and sprayed cologne, who does that? What I really hated about the show was the lack of chosen 1:1 dates. You have actually got to be kidding me. I really don't understand the purpose of these dates can't they just pick who they want to be with instead of constantly going on these random group dates? The time was already so short and they really wasted all that date time on the frickin group random dates. If you were watching for the JJ and SS couple it became really annoying when the only date they had was the one in the beginning and the last date. Another thing I really wish Gabin would have been more expressive as to who she liked that's something I really hated about her she couldn't just sit down with herself and think about who she liked more and she wasted Inuk's time cuz if she had just made it clear tham maybe he could have focused on someone else instead of constantly trying to win her over. Also when she was mad at Chan woo for his over the top gestures instead of communicating that she just ignored him. Now something we can all agree on is Chan woo is a frickin psycho, I never liked him
