i don't get why y'all are hating on the romance guys, cmon listen to me the tropes used here are; forced proximity, right person not enough time and mutual survival.
these three tropes have to be used together in such a careful blend to make the story sell it okay. For one second just put aside the fact that they are Park Seo Joon and Han So Hee okay? let's put that aside and just look at them as Jang Taesang and Yoon Chae-ok.
Jang Taesang is the well-renowned and respected master of this well-off pawnshop. His family was destroyed when he was very young but he has managed to (resiliently) create a found family for himself and got hold of power enough to protect them.
Chae-ok on the other hand is a more, tougher nut to crack. She's been on the run with her father for a very long time, searching for her mother and in the process making a business out of finding people. she has no other driving force except her father and finding her mother.
these two people are both broken and both in very different and significant ways
They find eachother under circumstance (dare i say fate) and their significant missions lead them in the same direction where they make the decision to trust eachother, for the sake of their mutual survival.
i don't think most people understand how affection can bloom in a position of forced proximity AND mutual survival is at stake. this type of a situation builds trust, respect! more than can be seen in most relationships of today, that's for sure.
And as they continue to protect each other and have each other's backs they start to like each other which should obvious under any other circumstance.
i was actually pretty happy with how they did the romance, an interesting plotline well used. though the season 2 disappointed me deeply, season 1 left so much potential and season 2 just flushed it down the drain for me. (THEY EVEN HAD BAE HYEON SEONG THEY SHOULD HAVE USED HIM BETTER)
They had so much potential but they wasted it, it looks like they even had a good budget considering the CGI was still as top notch as s1 but the writing is shoddy and messy and looks like something they came up with while they were drunk texting eachother
i want byeol to be his actual daughter because this stigma is so overused. i really want him to be a man in his later twenties-early thirty who's married, had a child, got divorced. that's okay! he's human! it would be such a good trope if done properly
Same, but my main issue is with Lee Min Ho. He is not an ugly actor of course, but Korea has way better looking…
I agree with you, i honestly would have liked to see (fandom please don't come after me for this, these are just MY two cents of it) Hwang In Youp play long haired YJH, I mean he could play the stoic, cold YJH pretty well me thinks
I remember thinking she was really pretty and cute when I saw her for the first time in my first kdrama ever which was "Good Casting" she's a great actress !!
The webtoon is not "historical" because it is not based on Korean history. lol So I think LJS actually fits the…
As much as I find myself agreeing with you i must also politely disagree, while LJS acted in other dramas before it was a long time ago and he has obviously grown since then and I don't think you should give verdict on how he would pull of the role of heinrey until we get some content of the show don't you think?

I mean I could FEEL the desperation in his eyes and in his voice when he confronted his "mother"
