she was a genuinely horrible human being. and jung ryeo won wasn't the right person for her. maybe we would have received her differently if it was another actress who could bring something edgier (because you're not hard if you just go around barking and saying you are lol) and if the writing was better. there are these INSANE female characters that are written so well you can't help but cherish them in some way (SKY CASTLE...I MEAN.) she was UNBEARABLE. i hated her whole storyline because i could not have given less of a shit. i genuinely wished her mom was dead because i wanted her to suffer lol. when she outed the dude? i was done. i mean i knew i was done but i was like ok let me continue and she GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WITNESSING ASSAULT? the one thing this show did well was not waffle on what is acceptable wrt abuse. that's about it. i quit around ep 12 as well.

i guess the whole '6 month' thing and also how once and for all they will defeat this evil that clearly has historical roots? cos of it couldn't be done in 7 eps. bc the ending wasn't satisfying honestly either way it doesn't matter it's an incredible show to me and i had so much fun and tears but yea.

ok i love this drama and even tho ending of ep 6 was wild i dont really care but i do care that there's no season 2. so. wow

we're just saying it cos....like....without an s2....why would it end this way lol

really?????

just in concept bc like some of the themes are very korean and ive never seen a convoluted plot (convoluted not in the bad way.) there are scandal-esque shows but nothing as like...i guess weirda s this. there is literature about it and im sure like a horror movie lol but this is a thriller for tv. i know what u mean! i rly enjoyed it lmao

what do u mean americanized cos we have never had a tv show like this. i definitely think americans would enjoy it but uhhhh

i genuinely enjoyed the show and the ending and eagerly await a s2.

it's nuts. i'm kinda angry but it's nuts.

this seems like an over-exaggeration lol

yea but it's like an insane story so maybe wait til ep 6. idk if i'd want to binge it like xingback said but it sure is sth

a joy to watch and amazing chemistry. a warm hug and the friendships in it are life long...

beautiful.

this drama is so amazing...

one of my fav feel-good dramas (along with ex-gf club which got canceled in the middle-ish of its run but it's tvn 2014 - 2015 silent classics for me lol. and heart to heart.) it's absolutely absurd and the premise literally anywhere else i would never accept these terms (age gap. ever. no no no.) and it totally made me fall in love with SIG. this show definitely shows why these writers and directors have made things so many people have warm feelings for. and the found family aspect? wow TEARS

i didn't, but the two leads are so compatible lol

i think i agree with you. i mean im not sure bc some of my interpretations i think are suspended in this idea but. he's just there to me. i mean i enjoyed the actor a lot. my big issue is the tragi-comic feel. and him being this skinny dude to me is actually fine it's the whole idea that a parent, a father, and a man can do that. i lived a life so similar to that family so it meant a lot to me but when i hear people like him or view him favorably--i think the show made a mistake there.

i do know this actually (your reply is very valued but i do want to respond.) we have colorism that aids in global anti-blackness but also heavily affects the black community so that is my personal connection to it and i am very aware that it is something that plagues communities. what we are shown in movies or dramas, what is depicted as what these countries are, as what south korea is ideally is not true and it not the breadth of the people and experience. funnily enough, when i first saw someone almost as dark as me (i am a lightskin black woman), or dark people in let's say past paintings...it was eye opening ( a friend of mine is from there and we were discussing this very thing and she showed me amazing old art that featured people who look so different than the "norm" or the nominal group.) this is a whole other discussion however.

i was oversimplifying simply because it is undeniably less of a stressor. all of these things are interconnected, but it is easier to exist when your people are the dominant inhibitors and run the systems. if i were to go there, my race would be a stressor. it is scientifically proven that kids who go to HBCUs have less pressure because everyone (mostly) looks like them. by stating this, i am simply saying that things will naturally manifest differently. the basis of oppression wouldn't be identical to any country's model but the uk and the us have similar structures (sorta lol) but between the west [us/uk] and east asia that is a distinct difference which i think would be interesting to explore.

hmmm yea i can see that lmao. i wasnt thinking of it that way but helllllllllllllllllll absolutely like you have money and resources and you were in jail while other people dont have families, nor money, nor resources, and are in jail wrongfully and they can't get a lawyer so like yea bud it sure is overrated with a choice. hahaha

i do agree with you onthis. i was actually pissed because why on EARTH would you not finish high school. esp if you were in jail ? but i guess that kind of trauma would mess you up and if you have the ability via money to take a gap year (which is what i think he finally decided) u would . but he better get his degree. idt anyone could even come close to arguing not graduating high school is a detriment. even when idols barely get schooling people are like this is ridiculous. high school is the minimum (and i dnt believe everyone should go in higher ed, but my god)
