if this is your type of drama like a decent mystery and a found family type thing yes. i dont like IOTNBO like the previous user mentioned so that's not my marker and i think they are too different. i think hospital playlist is a bit different but there are slice of life aspects like that show in this one. also i wouldn't go by user rating on MDL frankly.
the story is pretty interesting in terms of all the human-on-human interactions. i picked it up on a whim but i am really glad i did. i spose the beginning is slow but that's why i was drawn in and kept going tbh. it sets up the story so you can care for everyone (and you do!) or dislike the people who must be disliked. also the synopsis isn't really giving you a great description lol
idk if you have seen 'confession' but it reminds me of a peppier, less slow, less confusing version of that (with better actors.) like a creep i went to go check your list and it seems like something you may like if you pick it up. i was pleasantly surprised
Aww...Ji Hyuk’s smile when Do Chang mentioned something going on between him and Seo Kyung. But honestly I’m…
im only on ep 10, but for this one thing i'm ok with spoilers; does kang not know yet?
i understand ji huk's perspective from a factual standpoint and it made me go a little easier on her in my heart~ but i still think given the fact that in e10 moon gets on his knees because "everyone who did it to save themselves" needs to apologize then i believe that she absolutely will have to or NEEDS to as the story has laid out. it's a must. i felt really betrayed when i saw [what she did] because no matter what we can't predict the future. why didn't she want to try?
that being said they're cute and fun together. it's cute
are people hating on her bc they like the actor dude? i think it is possible. but i haven't really seen it. her…
no because that's not how life works. we are allowed to criticize things as they are airing just like we can enjoy them. it's not going to happen bc it's impossible and frankly annoying to be told you can't say something. being a fan does not mean no one can criticize her or the show. it's airing and you're saying only people who have glowing praise should speak? nah
doesn't make a lick of sense. if the acting isn't great or if the writing lacks then we have a right to point it out and share our opinion in a discussion. their job is to...do their job. and we watch it. ergo, we speak on it. seems like many of you cannot handle any negative feelings at all but hat's not our problem and it's weird.
oh yea lol i think it's so common that people have a kneejerk reaction (that i understand) but i agree with you; sorry about that. it's frustrating to read a lot of these comments
what are the merits of a good husband and father? this show definitely asks that. i am curious to see what happens…
considering she does want to punish him and that's ANOTHER layer (like needing your partner to be punished) i am interested to see how they deal with this. hopefully people understand that ji won is a person whose life cannot center around her husband. hopefully ji won herself sees that.
basically she's like i know hes not perfect but he isnt a serial killer and we have to punish him accordingly. not really sure what that means for their interpersonal rship but i hope it shakes things up
what are the merits of a good husband and father? this show definitely asks that. i am curious to see what happens going forward because i think that ji won is constantly putting this person above herself. in a way she is unreliable as we see her POV because of these feelings. this may be how we end up with the conclusion that staying is valiant just because of him and love. after 14 years and insane breeches of trust; what about the repercussions? why are we so ready to forgive? i don't think she will the more she learns and in reality this is going to take years of therapy. this is such a traumatic event and will continue to be so. there's perils to devotion.
I'm sorry, but I have a different perspective on things. If I escaped a past that was as horrible as his was (and…
that's a lot of pain that one must endure and i do not agree with it. not for love, not as a person, not as a woman. i do not think it is fair and she would be justified in a poor reaction. it's actually really sad that for some reason what i am voicing is difficult to grasp. whatever she decides is certainly her choice but there's a lot of outside influences making it so. she owes him nothing in return for 14 years of massive lies. like the presentation of his behavior to her is so flippant and there's so much responsibility put on her to make sure he's understood. insane emotional labor
what happens if the writers then conclude he is an insane serial killer? just because you're not an "outright" monster does not mean you didn't make a disgusting life-changing selfish mistake that you must face the consequences for.
while i agree with you about the opinions many people discriminate against women and female actresses esp for kdramas and def dont give them as much leeway. gender is really important and it applies which is why people talk about it. just like race and class. the show is about a dude who was abused and that's a huge societal issue....so yea it's all relevant
agree with you here. there's female characters whose actress i believe could do a MUCH better job but i love their characters. everyone has their reactions and charms. MCW is definitely earnest about her job at least and that shows...want the best for ji won (i want to see her MAD)
some people in the comments being critical and logical about love smh. Also, I know that each of us is entitled…
are people hating on her bc they like the actor dude? i think it is possible. but i haven't really seen it. her acting being good is not a FACT but fine that one feels that way. most comments are positive towards the show and her and when people have a bit of dissent there's such a reaction. people may be wrong even but jesus not everything can be the same. and there's a reason why people say what they do just like there's a reason why people really enjoy watching her. from a technical standpoint i genuinely do not like her technique and think it should be adjusted....so what?
also logical about love...i just think that when you live a life with someone you love that deceit is a huge huge huge huge HUGE issue and it needs to be dealt with as such. and i, personally, do not feel that it is her responsibility to help this man find his feelings. my question is: do we always have to stand by someone especially our male partner? even with love how could this possibly be amended? this is such an egregious breach of trust to me—staying when one is cheated on is even hard for me to understand and that in itself is HUGE. this is even bigger.
and does it mean she must give up a part of herself for him? just because it is love doesn't mean these aren't valuable questions. and the show acknowledges that in its own way. i hope they handle it accordingly. because i sincerely fight against the notion of her sacrifice for someone and having to take care of him and foster him into more humanity. that's a burden. i think maybe they aren't handling the issues of motherhood and being a wife in maybe the most adept way while highlighting that motherhood and growing up in poor environments effect you immensely.
this is all my opinion and esp within the context i see the world. i also dislike the police force and there are legitimate explainable reasons for it. i do not think they embody justice nor are the arbiters.
seriously there's 1k comments and most of them are not criticisms but there's lots of talk about how people shouldn't voice any opinion that is different. yes some people are going to be rude but the responses are completely disproportionate and many are so rude in return for absolutely no reason. mostly everyone here feels the same way so then different thoughts bother others. it's an internet thing but people should really not get so personally offended when someone talks about something in a "negative" way. esp if they aren't being particularly rude. this is what discussions are for. i do not understand what many of you want...all praise? that's not how this works. it's extremely offputting why on earth would we want nothing challenged. i just don't understand this.
it's not the end of the world if people dont like her acting. also it's part of the show. and just because someone…
i think they have great chemistry! although i do not find it romantic i don't think her acting affects their chemistry. that is one mark of someone who at least does know how to do their craft a bit well (in my opinion.)
i think sometimes the artificiality works but personally like for ep 6 when she was in the car in the beginning and then the ending it's just not how i prefer it.
also i meant romantically as in: i just dont believe in their love but that's from a story perspective. so many people really like their relationship and its significance like married life issues, trust, heavy topics, abuse, etc...
and my thoughts are very different but it doesn't upset me...i just see things differently and find it cool to discuss it. just like people thinking her acting is good—there's no value judgement.
there's a reason people like to watch her obviously. i may not understand or agree but i don't discount the very real responses people have. however, critique isn't always going to be "nice" and that's ok. it's certainly not a terrible show and she isn't bad enough for it to be unwatchable. i think people identify so heavily with the things they like that anything even remotely different is seen as a slight and it makes it frustrating to engage. there's a hivemind on things honestly!
no one has to prove anything to us wrt her acting or a critique unless they want to actually discuss it instead of trying to rule over our responses to a work. i hope this makes sense...
i feel the same way about nam ki ae btw like she is not really someone i enjoy watching or hearing but i have seen her in countless amount of dramas i like!
i appreciate your reply because i definitely agree with you in they want to portray the fakeness. i have more to say but i'll stop here, but i get you!
