First eps were so promising! The story seems to be set to a good start, all the actors are really good, and the introduction to every character was done really well. Eunbin looks extremely gorgeous and hot as the Crown Prince, and I love her personality so much. Rowoon, my precious baby. His character is so likable and cute, and he looks as incredibly handsome as he always does. The preview of ep 3 left me in shambles. I will enjoy this one so much even though I don't normally watch saeguks that much.
Not sure why he is dislikable. He was a pro in programming just like Jipyeong was in investments. While you can…
What are you even talking about at all? I don't really care about your opinion on Nam Dosan or the show, but I'm just gonna say it's not stupid to bash a drama or a character for whatever reason I want. It's not unnecessary if I didn't like the decisions of the characters, nor the personalities they were given, and think their actions were illogical and ridiculous. I don't even know who you're referring to as "my favorite actor" because no one in this drama is close to being my favorite actor. I will not elaborate on my opinions. It's pretty funny how you come to be saying my comment is stupid when you're the one upset because someone didn't like a drama, lol.
I just hope the drama won't focus that much on the "drink now" part, I don't really wanna watch an ode to alcoholism, so I hope it has some deeper plot.
I am disappointed again...I really wanted Da Li to pull off something on her own and not ride on coattails of…
I think the drama is pretty clear on what you need to pull off something on your own: money. Dali is broke, she doesn't have anything on her own other than a problematic gallery. She was always reluctant to receive help from SML, so the fact that she sucked up her pride today means that she's able to pull off everything on her own as long as she has the means. What she needed today was that, the means to get back on her feet, at least to some extent. It's only ep 6, I'm sure she'll prove herself independent and able to pull off everything on her own. If she can get a little help from men pretending her while she gives them nothing in return, I think that's a win for her.
Nam Dosan is honestly so dislikeable, at first I thought he was just slow and dumb in a cute way, but he just never gets better and just keeps being stupid and making stupid decisions. He hated himself the most, yet wanted to chase a woman. Honey, what you need is therapy. No sane person would give up the chances he was given for a lover. He's just so unreliable and illogical, not a single good thing on him. Also, he's an accidental mansplainer and that's just very annoying. On the other hand, Dalmi is also very illogical and had no depth on her. I rooted for her more when she became the CEO, as she looked more cold-headed and reliable. But she's still went head-on for a man she knew nothing about and fooled herself. I'm on ep 10 but the only things that keep me watching are Jipyeong and Dalmi's grandma. It feels like such a chore to get through each ep.
I know Jaeyoung's friends are middle schoolers, but when I was a teenager I could tell what was relevant and what I shouldn't keep to myself. How could Moonsook keep the tape just because Jaeyoung told her even though she was disappeared and another girl murdered? Or how could the girls never tell Junghyun that Jaeyoung was connected on MSN? Even if they're teenagers they should've had some logical thinking and know they should've informed about that.
Please understand the cultural differences, it's unwise to judge based on a western template of what's right or…
God, I really wonder if you're this dense or if it's just your moral superiority complex talking, because there's no other reason to reach this much over a damn romcom, unless you're just insane, lol. I will act like you didn't just equate comedic violence to child rape because that's literally just insane. You can't just change contexts and expect results to be the same. If you change the context it's a whole different situation and you can't just act like the reaction will be the same when you maximize the issue to a ridiculous extent. Please don't reply more, I've had enough of your nonsense.

You can't just equate actual abuse instances in real life, or even portrayed in dramas, to this because of all the reasons people have given you on this thread. You can't just compare comedic "violence" in a romcom to actual problems and then try to shift the blame to the other person by implying they're not sensitive enough to actual world issues. It's not "a sis hitting a man in public" because no sane person in real life condones violence. You're just obviously reaching by comparing a romcom done with no ill intention to real life relationship issues, and even worse, trying to make people here look like we just don't care because we're sane enough to differentiate romcoms from real life.
Please understand the cultural differences, it's unwise to judge based on a western template of what's right or…
Such a logical fallacy you're pulling here, lol. It really isn't that deep. The drama isn't romanticizing violence, it's done for the laughs and obviously no one would react like that in the given scenarios, it's not normalizing abuse in any way... Don't go reaching comparing dark humor and people laughing about obviously wrong things to a romcom where none of these reactions are normalized.
Gonna be the person to say I'm worried about the remaining 4 eps. Everything is so perfect and sweet between the leads that I'm worried that the remaining 4 eps will have a forced breakup/noblesse oblige bullsh*t and ruin the pace and mood of the show. Not saying it's not necessary to give them a break from each other as they're too into the other and blabla (the clingy romance doesn't bother me one bit btw), but I really hope they don't go with a forced breakup because that'd be completely OOC from both of them.
The main reason why I'm worried is that we've seen only glimpses of Dooshik's trauma even though it's been 12 eps. I love the leads to bits and they're my fav romcom couple at this point but I'm getting worried about the deeper side of the story. We saw Dooshik eyeing a pic of a woman, a baby, and a man we haven't seen the face of, and some people thought it was his previous family, while others think it's his parents and him (going back to when Dooshik said his parents loved each other fondly), but that was in like ep7 or so and we haven't seen anything about it again, not even hints of it. Dooshik's last nightmare before today's ep was quite a few eps ago even though it seems to be a recurring nightmare, as he told his therapist, and it involves death and his perception of himself with others, and whether he believes to be deserving of happiness, but it's been 12 eps and we know nothing about it even though it seems to be very important for Dooshik.
He moved back to Gongjin after something big happened to him and had been living somewhat isolated from everything outside Gongjin until he met Hyejin. The encounter with his college sunbae today also gave us some insight into how he disappeared from the face of the earth without telling anyone after "that" happened, so whatever it was must've affected him a lot. But we don't see any of that and we know nothing about it despite being only 4 eps away from the end.
If it's something related to a past love that scarred him and left him thinking that he shouldn't love again, then he was never really hesitant to date Hyejin at all lol. The push and pull they played was nothing different from other couples just keeping their pride and denying their feelings, but not necessarily with a major relationship trauma like it seems to be Dooshik's case. So if it's really a relationship trauma, or maybe that someone died and he feels guilty (which is why he's been living to help everyone as much as be can), then it'd be pretty weird that he just got carried away with his feelings for Hyejin and "forgot" that he didn't feel deserving or worthy of love and happiness because he "would hurt others." Like, if you have such trauma you won't just forget about it that easily because you found a pretty girl to like.
Plus, he said before that everyone around him died, seemingly very upset about it and somewhat still guilty (even though Hyejin told him not to feel guilty about it), so to just forget it all and act as if nothing happened is very weird and illogical, in case that is the core of the trauma.
And in case it's not a relationship trauma or not that someone died "because of him", then what's the point of isolating himself from the world and shutting himself down to love if it wasn't such a traumatic experience? Why would he disappear from everyone he knew in Seoul if whatever happened to him wasn't a relationship trauma? Not even necessarily a romantic relationship (although we'd still have the question about the family pic and how dismissive he's been whenever Hyejin asks him about his previous dating, like in today's ep at the gallery or before when he said that Hyejin was "the second person" he told about his life, and didn't want to answer when she asked who was the first one), but if it was a friend who "died because of him", or just him failing to save someone from death (like in an accident or something), he wouldn't have opened up "so easily" to Hyejin and be all lovey-dovey and into each other so quick if he had recurring thoughts of not being good for people or deserving of love and happiness.
Overall, I'm just worried about the writers making a completely perfect ML but giving him the flaw of having trauma that they either forgot to explore or just wrote to give some depth to the character but then couldn't handle it.
I just hope this won't be another 16-ep drama that you end up recommending to others with the typical "it's good until ep 12, then it gets draggy but the leads and side characters are cute so you can overlook it!!"
God, that first episode was soooo sloooow. Does the pace pick up later? If the second episode is like this, I…
It's a melodrama about depression and emotional struggles of the characters. It's slow, all through it, so you may not like it if you didn't like the first ep either.
