Down the Hill, down the valley and then down the SINK HOLE to the Land of Oh Dearie Me!
I think I'll run with @manicmuse's review.

Well that went down hill fast..

Totally agree on the don't have to be a serial killer most people with Anti-Social Personality disorders aren't of course. Human isn't defined by the condition of someone's mental health for that way lies Eugenics and we know how that turned out last century.

"They can live a normal life too, like everybody else" - nope, that's the whole point of the condition/diagnosis - they can't, even with treatment it's a really hard ask.

From the NHS UK website:-

"Evidence suggests behaviour can improve over time with therapy, even if core characteristics such as lack of empathy remain. "

Moon Chae Won is a favourite of mine, so I'm sure I'll have another go at it sooner or later. I'm not into serial killers but I'm up for a good romance.

I'm a bit confused by your review, if one of the protagonists is a psychopath surely that means they lack emotion, empathy and a conscience? So how then can they be "hurt like us(emotionally)"? and feel love and guilt. I mean they can be good at acting and manipulation but the whole point is they don't actually feel it. Am I misunderstanding your point?
(I've not watched it because 'serial killer' is not my bag)

Thanks and there was I all proud at learning a Roblox reference.

I might need some help translating this one into old fogey speak.
oof = out of office? ouch? my youngest daughter says Roblox?
SLS = ?
lmao = laughing my ass off?

Ah! Now I get it. Not a "WTF!" but a "Right On!"

I see your !!!! and raise you ????

This drama reminds me of the on stage bits of Extraordinary You.

Arrrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhh! Episode 6 where he puts the hot pan lid down on that enormous polished wood dining table! I mean, what sort of madness is this?? I mean just like WT actual F!! I know it's just a drama but you have to have some limits.


That just ruined my immersion.


And the table...

I think " All the interactions were weird and everyone is mean to each other." is review enough for this nonsense. Thanks for the chuckle.

I just struggled through ep. 5 and put it on hold for a while. I quite like her room mate and Dan Ah's secretary but I'm pretty meh about the rest of them. The dialogue isn't grabbing me either it just seems a bit trite. I'm glad you are still enjoying it, I might pick it up again in a couple of days to see if it was just me.

To play Devil's advocate I'm half way through ep. 3 and wondering about continuing. A fair number of tropes and clichés have already made their appearance and most of the characters are a bit 2D and/or unrelatable? unlikeable? Still early days yet, I keep hoping the expressionless Leads will add a reagent and get their chemistry going.

I'm still watching but skipping through some scenes.

People rate dramas before they start which is even more ... frustrating? missing the point of a review?
Perhaps to give the benefit of doubt they mean to come back and edit their review after each episode?

The very over the top comedy acting is hard to cope with without cringing but overall it's a sweet little drama and the leads are great!

#MeToo ? Never heard of it...
This show really is a blast from a past that should stay safely in the past.

The plot was basic, Roo Mi and Dan Hee were wooden and bland respectively so after five episodes my interest had vanished. Make up product placement was annoying. Dropped.

Me too, I try and be careful about what I let my children watch.

Unfortunately people get very partisan about their favourite actors and shows and therefore are quite aggressive in their support. I'm a fan of stories and prefer them to support people being 'excellent to one another' rather than 'beautiful people can get away with anything'.
I dropped True Beauty as well, too shallow and cliched for me though I like the leads as actors.

Wow! That's a lot of text. I think I get what you are saying but whilst I know it's a drama and not real, it doesn't stop me feeling uncomfortable watching it. Unfortunately I don't want to watch a creepy dude hitting on a nice young woman, no matter how much I liked him at first. I want to watch something romantic. I can cope with a Jerk if there is character growth but it's much harder to cope with a creep.

I must respectfully disagree with you on the not worrying about it because it's a drama, such behaviour should be worried about wherever it appears, it's how we change things - calling them out not excusing them and providing good examples of behaviour instead.
On the other hand what you watch and enjoy is totally up to you and I'm glad you watch it and discuss it on here.
