i don't understand why everyone is against the romance when its so clear the romance is just a side piece and…
Exactly as you said, some elitist viewers are making up their own rule that romance or thriller shows shouldn’t have any romantic elements, and that mindset is really toxic.
With the subtle hints like the color of the tea, the coffee-making scene, the questions about the female lead’s situation with the male lead, her friends suspecting she likes someone, the scene where she helps wipe blood from his hand, and even the way she blushes—these moments, though fleeting, are incredibly delicate. It would feel incomplete, unsatisfying, and even a bit unreasonable if the writer didn’t explore this couple further.
Seeing that there’s no romance tag, the relationship will probably only platonic. Like Park Dong Hoon and Ji…
Not having a romance tag doesn’t mean the show has no romantic elements, my friend. The tag might be added later this year—there are plenty of shows like Winning Try, Low Life, or Oh My Ghost Silent that don’t have a romance tag but still feature a loveline. In My Mister, the relationship was described from the start as that of an uncle and niece with no romantic hints at all, whereas in this show, the two are portrayed as colleagues who have experienced heartbreak in the past and help heal each other through their actions.
If PJH already left the show, then what’s the point of the loveline anymore? It wasn’t until the end of season 1 that we even started to see a bit of romance between the male and female leads, and now we’re hearing early on that PJH won’t be joining season 2.
am i the only one who doesnt want them to be tgth?? 😭😭 i see them as a father daughter duo, or js smth..…
The age gap between them in the show is only 10 years, so the romance is perfectly normal. Besides, the hints appear very rarely and don’t affect the flow of the story at all, buddy.
You’re not going to get much if any agreement here. There are a huge group here obsessed with them having a…
Buddy, don’t go around saying other people are “obsessed” with romance — the real obsessives here are the extreme ones who can’t stand a well-built loveline between two characters, even when it’s shown just a little in each episode. The way they look at each other is already so full of feeling, so wanting a loveline is perfectly normal.
I completely agree. I also get frustrated when people try to sexualize straight friendships. (My point is that…
The percentage of LGBT people in society is small, and throughout history, same-gender friendships have been very common. So why do people have to turn those friendships into same-sex romances? Where I’m from, 90% of opposite-gender friendships end up in romance, while it’s much less common for same-gender ones. Back in high school, my crush had a friend who was a lesbian, but even after five years, both of them have their own partners and have never been in love with each other. So achieving “balance” is quite difficult.

And the point here is that the show only talks about friendship — just friendship, do you understand? Does portraying same-gender friendship in a TV series always have to turn into romance or what?

Now people always normalize friendships between men and women, even though that kind of relationship hardly exists, and the trend now seems to be turning same-gender friendships into romance.

Buddy, turning same-gender friendships into romance all the time is unreasonable. Since when has there been no such thing as pure friendship between people of the same gender? Are you the one who argued with me about the movie Beyond the Star? In that movie, there’s a male and female lead, yet people still like and want them to just be friends.
Then just stop watching, the hints are already very clear and the loveline is limited but high-quality, and the…
The ending of Flex x Cop was clearly to set up season two, and the author canonically confirmed they have feelings for each other — since when did canonizing a couple become a 'boring ending,' huh?"
Just watch it, main focus is always cases. Not romance, looks like fl is crushing on him. Nothing major yet.
Debating with those guys is such a thrill — they always want to drop the show over a romance, declare the loveline awful, and when I ask why, they dance around in circles. Riveting stuff, really."
