You are right, it's their first relationship and they head problems with being direct, so they were learning to be opent in comunication (the characters even said so in the show). As for being posesive, it was not only the guy, the girl was exactly the same, but people have doublestandards and only attack the guy. Both of them were jealous. The girl was worst because she even grabed someon's hair...

I think you are sensitive and look at them like they are 14 and can't read nonverbal q's.
They are in university and it's their first serious relationship, and they are learning.
Even before they were a thing, they were spending time together and indirectly sending signals. The guy did not want to be too direct because the girl was timid and she would have run away.
The girl is possessive as well, she gets upset every time, she even grabbed someone's hair when she was jealous. There should be no double standard. The girl said she did not want a boyfriend who would treat her the same as others, she wanted to know she was special in his eyes.
As for the kiss, she wanted to kiss him many times, it was in no way close to abuse, the reason why he grabbed her was because she was a coward (that is her entire trope in the show, she waited for him to say he likes her so she could accept, she never told people outright her feelings only after they already knew and she was convinced by others to be sincere). She showed him she was interested, by spending time with him, going out, and expecting a kiss but then she would do similar things with the other guy, so the ML was confused this time he just did not let her hide her feelings.

I love this series is wholesome and it explores the idea of "growing up". They chose the actors so well, compared to western high school projects when the actors are 30 and do look 30, these actors look young :)

There is, people found out that she was fake, Their punishments is living with themselves running away constantly from who they are and pretending to be something else.
They deserve each other and their life, as they will never be truly happy. When the people will forsake them and they will not have a public it's when they will feel how empty and insignificant they are, and without love they will turn on anyone in order to survive.

I said that as a young girl, she is presented as being smarter than typical kids, then the show proceeds to show us that after 15 years on the island, she is in perfect health, so they double down on how strong she is and how resourceful, but then suddenly they portray her as stupid.
So if you read all my comments (as I was discussing this with multiple people under my initial comment) I was annoyed how the writers were not consistent in her portrayal and made her stupid in episode 7 (when she talked with the cop). It's not confusing :)
She can obviously be affected negatively, if I analyze it I would say she could have lost hope and fallen into desperation., maybe develop some anxiety and so on, but it is even shown remembering being angry and crying but having a strong mentality and picking herself up fast. So, from what I understood she is not weak mentally.
And that is why I thought something was off in how the writer designed /portrayed the character, and I was annoyed that she was made to look stupid.

Well, she grew up abused at home for years, so she would automatically be more mature and aware. She had to develop survival skills, she would not be naive as to believe people are innocent and nice, even more after discovering that the cop (that is supposed to protect people was an abuser at home).
She knew how to lie/ cover up her situation as no one at school knew her situation, and she did it well. The boy was serious and focused on getting money way more direct, while she was acting silly whit her friend when her dream of making it big was also influenced by the idea of getting away from home.
Trust me kids that have it rough are no way as naive as the others that are concerned only with school and normal stuff for their age, kids that have it rough usually are more observant, have a few wall built, they are more aware... and the FL showed us in the first episodes, but then after being on the island it felt like she forgot all that, even if she is portrayed as being resilient, smart, resourceful when it came to survival, she adapted fest and well as we are told that she is perfectly healthy when found. A person like that would not have forgot what she learned in the first 15 years of her life, being on that island was a constant reminder of her bad experience ans it happened because she was trying to get away.

Yes, I wrote the same :)) You don't have to delete your comments, I saw that some people think we are attacking the project but it's not true. The story is not bad and the other characters are ok written, it's just that we thought the girl's characters was not consistent, I think they wrote her that way because in Korean society (at least on TV) the pure, innocent girl that needs to be rescued is more attractive and it shows the male like a savior.
I mean I remember I saw a Kdrama in which the main girl is presented as someone that can take on a gang of knife wielding men, can speak her mind and call them out (she fought them and kicked their ass), only to act like a baby and cry when some girls picked on her and the guy came into the picture.
Some people do notice these stuff :) and I know worse cases.
This project is not that bad.

Well, no one said they hate watching :) you use those words just now, you felt like it was a complaint when it was an observation, and it was not only about this show it was about multiple as it happens a lot in K drama.
Constructive criticism is what I was doing since the writing for the character is strange.
I do analyze shows a lot, because this is what I studied, script writing, character design and development, animation, and so on... So things bother me if they are bad.
You would have known it if you had read my comment, instead, you are basically having a one-person monolog and not an interesting/articulated discussion.
Literally noting I said fits with what you understood :))

No, she had street smart but she lost it, that is why I say it's looks strange for the writers :)

But you need to watch some of it in order to make up your mind, also people are allowed to criticize a project if the writing of the character seems off.
No one is attacking the actress or a real person, and even more no one is attacking anyone, it's just that there is something strange in the way some dramas depict the main girls. Maybe they are trying to make her naive but somehow they just made her become stupid.
When young she clearly was quite aware, she knew how to lie or pretend she is ok, that is why no one from school knew she was having a hard time, she was working to apply for the competition and she was keeping thing "on down low" to keep it secret from her father, she knew how to be cautious and she knew her father is dangerous. Later on she found out the cop is the same as her father.
So now that was was on the island she lost or her thinking patterns, and she became extra naive, innocent, stuck on certain things that put others in danger but forgetting to analyze the situation... it's like being on the island made her retarded... even though the doctors said she was perfectly healthy, so obviously she was smart enough to hunt and plan a diet and keep herself in perfect condition, she survived! Not going to school from 15 should not make her more stupid than she was before... maybe stagnate from one point of view, but they made her become more stupid than she initially was....
Nothing wrong in pointing out some things.

Even if she is 15, she is not mentally challenged, maybe she did not lean stuff from school after she was stranded on the island, but she did not become stupid because of that, actually I would say she had to become more inventive and resourceful in order to survive.
But the father already showed his true colors many times to her, why go to him and try to pretend she does not know where the boys are, when she knows she is scared and she sucks at lying?
The guy is manipulative and violent and an ex cop did she seriously think she can convince him/fool him?
Also when she was at home she knew she had to act in secret in order to plan her escape/run from home, she she was not an open book and she covered up her situation, yet now she kind of acts like an open book, and naive when it comes to how serious the situation is, it just confuses me... some parts in her development are not realistic.

I can't, why are almost the FL in Korean drama stupid?

Not that much... and they had to she was drunk driving in the middle of the day hitting things with her car...
She does not deserve to go on without any repercussion.

I think it was a must, and they did change the script, or refilm the last 2 episodes...
The girl Kim Sae Ron was involved in a DUI, she hit something in the middle of the day and the police were called, but it became a scandal because the netizens were annoyed with her actions/attitude and also because it was one of many similar incidents that happened in that period because of other "superstars". She was written off of the show and all the other people involved with her character were killed off, their story became useless without her character.

This is so hard to choose because in each genre I have like a top 5, I can't compare a romance with a crime detective show!!!!

Why is there a girl in the male favorite actor list? ???

only 5 choices? for such a long list, with all the actors from all the countries? It should be 5 actors from each country :)
5 Chinese/Taiwan, 5 Korean, 5 Japanese, 5 Thai and so on!!!!

Because he was in one Drama, but MDL also has reality shows here, so anything with BTS is funny people like them, and watch them so they can give flowers for that.

For me it's perfect as the drama was completely the opposite from the webtoon, the writers were so good at giving the viewers 2 sets of information at a time, some people did not get them both :) The film's "words" showed you one thing while the actions of the characters showed the opposite, some judged the project listening to the gossip while the others actually looked at the actions of the character, completely different experiences. This project is one of my favorites.

The mains not because it's still drama :) I think everyone else it a yes :))
