The amount of times the leads get interrupted by coincidental phone calls is annoying. Ignore the call! Silence your phone! It’s so rude to take a call when you’re in the middle of having a moment with someone else! 🤦🏼‍♀️It’s not just this drama, but others as well. It’s especially noticeable with this one, though.

The synopsis indicates it will be the opposite 😂

I saw the gloves, too.

The synopsis doesn’t sound like a romance at all 😂 It actually sounds pretty brutal.

I’m on like episode 17 and don’t get the whole relationship between Jang Hyun and the princess. I don’t understand why he let her kiss him right after calling her a selfish, foolish wrench, etc. I don’t get it.

Well I saw them “formally getting back together” in the game world 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah the ML never accepted it. I see what you are saying kinda. But she was also secretly moving out of his apartment, avoiding him, etc. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess I just wasn’t a fan of how the writers handled that whole thing.

But she said let’s break up…

As long as the last couple of episodes are as good as the rest, this one will make it to my list of favorites. I don’t get the ratings either. It’s a good show with romance, mystery, trauma and healthy adult communication with the leads.

I like your theory! And I had thoughts about Youngbin too…

Yay! I hope you love it!

Yeah shows like Glory or LitC that are based off of keeping secrets, lying, not communicating etc. drive me NUTS. I hate those tropes so much and drop dramas I started off liking because of them. I hope you like TPoB if you decide to watch :)

Thanks for the tip! I’ll add it to my list. I’m also going through My Dearest which is also incredibly heavy, so I will probably have to space out my emotionally heavy dramas lol.

OH. I missed that one on your list 😂 The other 10 I saw looked to be a concert or something. I have heard of When Life Gives you Tangerines, but haven’t seen it yet because I’m afraid of how it ends lol

😂I looked at your list and haven’t heard of the one that you rated a 10. Happy to see Flower of Evil rated at a 9 - that one is one of my top 3 faves.

Yeah. I wonder why they have changed the standard 16ep Kdramas. I am rating this one at a 10 because in my mind it’s perfect so far. We all have different tastes 😊

Which makes me sad, because this one is one of my favorite kdramas so far. I wish it was a bit longer than 12 episodes.

It’s funny because if you look at the individual episode ratings they’re almost ALL rated 9.5 and above 😂There’s like one episode that’s rated 9.1. I hope they MDL changes the whole rating system.

It drives me nuts when the SMLs sit on their feelings for years and years without making a move, but suddenly when there is competition they decide the FL is worth pursuing? It’s so insulting and selfish to the FL. That whole mentality of “if I can’t have her, no one else can” drives me nuts. Like no, Chungjae, you should have confessed and pursued her a long time ago. 😠

I did not like Glory or Love in the Clouds, but this one is my favorite drama of all time. The leads begin as enemies in an arranged marriage, so there is some scheming against each other in the beginning… but the trust and communication only grow from there. Jealous side characters? Yeah there are a couple of them, but but it doesn’t last forever and they never successfully sabotage the lead’s relationship. There are some instances of jealousy and the leads not communicating with each other later in the drama after the mutual affection is there, but it’s used for humor instead of angst 😂And then they eventually do talk. Plus, TPoB has two of the steamiest kisses / bed scenes in Asian dramas. The most frustrating part of this show, I guess, is the scheming villains who keep thinking they can outsmart / defeat the leads despite them consistently being outwitted by them 😂
