What women are doing to their kids? WTF? All mothers in the entire country are doing something that can’t be justified while the fathers sit there helplessly? What the hell does this have to do with a Korean melodrama?

Please don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.

PS please do point us in the direction of your vigorous campaign to de-normalize Dexter. I feel sure that if one kiss upsets you so much, you must laid into Dexter with all your might and fury after seasons of ruthless killing.

I think one example proves nothing. Your use of the word ‘obsession” highlights the weakness of this argument. How do we know if the show is the motivation or the mental illness produced both the obsession and the murder? Which is the cause? Which is the symptom?

So people who watch Nine Puzzles will think it’s normal to murder people and send a piece of a puzzle to a vulnerable young woman?

Yes, it was a misogynistic diagnosis by a psychiatrist who noted that one female hostage watched the kidnapper closely, listened to his words and followed his instructions- as anyone might who wants to live and go home to their family. All of the so-called Stockholm Syndrome was derived from one analysis labeling the victim’s survival strategy as “love”. 😵‍💫 All I can say is that psychiatrist was revealing more about his own inadequacies than about the victim’s frame of mind. 🤪

Thank you so much for being such a careful and sensitive commentator on this drama. I agree with you completely. The actress is playing a character living in long-term shock and denial which is what can happen after your life falls apart. She has kept up a brave facade, but it is gradually breaking down as she becomes able to talk about the death of her (and Mu jin’s) baby.

You must be watching a different drama. She’s never betrayed her team, she is valued by her colleagues, she is exquisitely polite and Luke is by contrast called rude and intolerable by many including his own mother. AND, as a reader of the novel. I can assure you that she is not cast aside, but merely misses out on a promotion.

She was in love with him, completely and hopelessly because he loved Flora. SY (in the novel) was a more erratic and impulsive character, as I recall.

Wow! So that accounts for her memory loss too! We have been watching partial amnesia for a dozen episodes and never noticed. I am so intrigued by this possibility.

🤷🏻‍♀️😀

This is a good point. The importance of their sex life is greatly emphasized in the novel, but the drama tones it down - makes it less obvious.

PS that poster hates GO, too, I just noticed. 😆

That poster is a bit off his rocker about this drama. He or she hates the writer, the plot, the FL, the SFL, the Bio mother and probably more characters, but I have lost count. If it’s so awful, why the heck watch it? The world needs all types, but this drama could use fewer emotional misogynists. 😊

She set up an account at her roommates’ request. She has never seen it until the event; she tells this to Luke immediately when he throws words like cheap and scam at her. Flora is neither; Sun Yu is at fault and she needs to monitor her staff. So Sun Yu apologizes for her tech people filling in the profile with details. Flora is working at the event at Sun Yu’s request. You seem to have missed a lot of the details in assuming that Flora is cheating or maybe cheating by dating. Trust isn’t something discarded in a moment - Dating 201 - you talk first and then react. That’s basic for adults with impulse control which Luke does not have and for good reasons. He has been so badly raised and given so much indulgence because he is smart and beautiful. I feel compassion for him while hoping he learns some self control along the way.

Thank you and yes! He threatens her with a transfer almost sadistically after canceling their last minute run through. Some people seem to only notice his feelings and not his words. He has shown himself to be ruthless in the workplace so why should she assume his (unstated) feelings will be somehow kind to her.

I am so happy to see that someone else is enjoying the high quality acting in this drama. I am loving it!

There is a Disney logo on the photo, so I am guessing it might be there/Hulu. Unfortunately for me! I “only” subscribe to Viki, Netflix, IQIYI and Kokowa 😕

He isn’t yet a trained chef when he works in construction. He is formerly wealthy kid with no skills so he takes a low-level job to support himself. I believe he is lying to protect Gyu Rim from the knowledge that their relationship has angered his mother and has ruined him financially. He becomes a chef trained overseas after recovering from his accident. We are all wondering about the child and why a single mom is shouldering such huge burdens virtually alone. I suspect there may be more flash backs which might clear up the mysteries.

100% agree. I promise you I don’t think it is right at all! That is why I cannot endure the BioMom and her self-righteous rants about her stepdaughter . Over compensation!!!!
