Vals Stor

Its a kdrama. People in kdramas rarely (if ever) have sex.
We should be glad that there's no implication that someone in this drama is still a virgin.
Most main leads are virgins no matter the age :))

The main difference in dramas vs real life, is that in dramas you clearly see that they deliberately choose the "ugly-old" (i hate the words i use but i do it just to define what i wanna say), guy to be the predator, on the contrary the "hot-young-rich-or whatever" ML is justified because ...the writer says so.
I dont support moral censorship in anything cause im a huge fan of freedom in art and in general, i just like it so much when i see in other movies/dramas, a ML who is all the above: young hot rich etc, to be the "bad"guy, with no justifications at all. Mr/mrs writer you want a bad ML? Im sooooo fine with it. Let him be bad -there's no reason to make the female lead turning against other guys who do the EXACT same thing as the ML, while accepting him no matter what.
In this drama i didnt like at all the way they present the widower or her boss at work who are older and not that good looking and she almost looks offended by their interest (Ok the flower guy is indeed a bit creepy but same goes for ML)

I agree with your thoughts, but if youngsters are being socially educated by dramas and shows in general, the problem is not the shows but the whole society structure and values.
We cant expect art products to educate/form opinions/influence people THAT much so that they follow what they see. People should grow up being educated of how to use their brains to judge and criticize literally everything, not digesting anything without thinking.
A person who is influenced by tv shows, can be manipulated by anyone and anything.
Making dramas/movies "the right way" isnt the answer, and it always hides the danger to kill creativity, realism, freedom of expressing oneself through art etc

hahahahahha you re so right! But you pointed out the main core of every lovestory in every movie/drama internationally.
Love stories who are so loved by the audience always have 2 young beautiful people who are forgiven for literally everything just because....they're cute! Ok to be fair, there are good movies (not dramas) out there that depict realistic relationships where age is just a number so as the beuty.
Drama world is just a delulu world lol

(another thing i noticed is that the 2 older men-that fell for her due to the spell-are presented to like her, only because they drank her potion. Otherwise they wouldnt dare!
Since when is forbidden for an older person to fall for a younger or vice versa?
(oh how i miss japanese dramas that often break these stereotypes)
I remember people getting crazy with the drama Dating in the Kitchen and the Love and Destiny, cause the ML in both was much older. The hate was unbelievable

Currently the story is a bit all over the place, they throw elements here and there, i just hope they will combine everything and put the storyline in order

Thanks for this analysis! You brought to light many elements combined, especially the presence of the little kid and the role that the Mayor plays. I hope the storyline goes exactly the way you describe cause it would be very interesting. I also hope they wont ruin the current suspense.

Its a drama, not the writer's interview about life and relationship values. If a drama shows only perfect nice kind people, its not a drama, its a 100% lie. In real life people often behaving into gray zones, making mistakes, immoral things, spontaneous things etc. She did create a firm border but people have flesh and heart so the lines are not quite distinctive

It would be very unrealistic for this couple (ML and SFL) to break up that easily. There are families involved, the relationship runs for years now, they seem to get along well-at least in the surface-plus the factors i mentioned before about the strong feelings absence.
I forgot to mention that he is not a genuinely kind and perfect guy. He is arrogant by nurture, he's got high standards (remember how he found it hard to accept that he fell for a lower class next door woman when he already has the perfect fiancee) so his actions up to now are very suitable for his personality.

Plus the fact of his brain damage desease. Until recently he still had illusions that are not clearly caused by his desease or something metaphysic (at least for the viewers)

And lets not forget that he suffers from a brain damage desease, which means that his illusions make it even harder to handle the situation. Spells, brain damage, stress due to his illness, its already very hard to keep a clear mind under these circumstances

FL in Suspicious partner had a perfect look for her profession and her own personal style in general. It was minimal, office look. Ok i can deal with FL's clothes here, after all not all people should dress the same. But i ll never forgive the hairstylists who literally kill many actresses beautiful face and hair with a hairstyle coming from early 90s! And i cant wait for kdrama men to go back 10+years ago when men in dramas had their own hairstyle, not the same bowl shape one hahhahaha

I dont think its her personal preference-in real life she has beautiful hair styling no matter long or short hair. Maybe her stylist hates her lol
I already had HUGE problems with kdrama men -all having that same bowl haircut -now im having another issue with FL in kdramas hahahahahha

in kill me heal me, the ML had the most charming and stylish haircuts (different for each of his personalities) he was just GORGEOUS.
That made the FL's hair styling look even worse! And it was such a shame cause she's got so beautiful unique face features-lips, eyes, nose, her all!

Even if he wasnt manipulated by her-which i dont totally agree-they are both keeping a mediocre relationship for their own reasons i guess- i find it very normal that there's no break up from either side. A long term relationship, not based on intense feelings of love, respect, admiration etc, it doesnt break that easily for the same reason (intense feelings absence). As his gf said while they were in the car, it was very clear that they are together and can compromise with many things not because of love but because of convenience (she didnt say that, but the context was something like that)

Personally, when a like a show, i digest those supposed to be "moral dilemmas" as in real life, people are often in gray zone than totally good or bad.
As for the ML here, well, there's no relationship that gets broken just because of a kiss-especially when it lasts for years and when the ML already knew that his feelings were either caused by a spell or by his brain dysfunction.
But everything depends on someone's sensitive stuff: if you are triggered by the "cheating" stuff, its ok, its a matter of perspective.
The drama gives its explanation about his cheating, so if you are asking about that, yes, watching the whole thing up to now, you ll get over it cause there are certain things happening (i dont wanna spoil more for you-cause i guess you havent watched the latest ep)

As much as its disturbing, its quite realistic. I mean in real life a couple doesnt break up immediately because of a kiss or anything-especially since ML thought it was the spell that caused his feelings, but even when he realized he was indeed in love with FL, its been only a couple of weeks or so. Plus the fact that his relationship with SFL is not based on anything strong (from both sides) so i find it ok that they are still together-especially after the photo of him kissing the FL and the whole conversation with his girlfriend

Currently yes, it stopped. Doctor explained to him that it might be the illusions caused by his brain dysfunction

Kill me heal me is no1 cringeworhty hairstyling and clothing of FL

Agree. And let's not bring the subject to FL (in most dramas) having horrible haircuts

I find it quite realistic. I mean, in real life, people dont immediately break up while being for many years in a relationship, just because a kiss or anything else occurs. Especially when the current "legal" relationship is the kind that ML+SFL have-not intense feelings, never being in love (both sides) etc. Plus the fact that ML knew from the beginning that his feelings for the FL are not genuine but caused by a spell.

Love and attraction can happen between people of any gender, age, social status etc. There are no statistics about "Trading" , this or that. It is what it is. And i dont see the reason why a drama shouldn't portray such relationships since they happen in real life too. The rest is just a matter of personal taste
