I feel like it violates people's privacy

Ah that was Im Siwan!! My bad remembered it wrong thank you for the correction

I don't think so?

I watched Signal (didn't think he was particularly smart there), Strangers from Hell, Move to Heaven and another one I forgot about

I also have seen like an episode of Taxi Driver but not enough to really know about his character

That's really funny to me because I've never seen Lee Jehoon play a smart character and I've seen him in 3 other dramas

I will try to clarify it for you (I know the other commenter also replied). She was devastated because she dreamed of having children. The show made it seem like her husband didn't know in the first episode and when ML asks her what her fiance would do if he found out, she just didn't respond until episode 2 where she clarifies he knows and it was the fiance's plan all along to lie to his family about her "pregnancy"

It was just the show creating drama because it was meant to be like a big reveal that he knew the entire time

I loved this drama it is sooo good

I'm in love with Park Sunghoon. Alongside Kim Jiwon, he really was a necessary addition to the drama

I love Ji Sung so much! Glad to know you like him too :) Both him and his wife are my favorite actors of all time

I love Lee JeHoon as well. Move to Heaven really shows his acting prowess so I think you'll enjoy. I also watched Move to Heaven after Signal

Source: Trust me bro

I felt this way as well. Both dramas were great but QOT had a lot of things going for it

I think QOT did overdo some makjang elements but the plot (mostly) made sense

I especially loved how flawed the couple was and how they worked together on their relationship

While I don't think QOT is anything close to a masterpiece (it was still a fun, entertaining drama), Signal and Flower of Evil aren't either imo. I liked Signal even though it was flawed in a lot of ways (the whole "rich guys are always bad" and them figuring things out from "detective hunches" were ehh)

However, Flower of Evil bothered me with a lot of its plot holes and that they couldn't stay true to its premise. I thought Flower of Evil had a lot of potential but they ended up assigning all the evil stuff to everyone but the ML. Like, the cat killing was revealed to be the ML's sister, the murders were all from ML's father etc. I was expecting the drama to be quite psychological, in that FL has to consider whether she has to reveal her husband's crimes as per her legal duty or if she were to turn a blind eye to her "perfect" husband. The drama really let me down by keeping him as somewhat of a perfect husband. Also the scene where he said he doesn't love his wife to his sister also made no sense to me

I think you might enjoy some of my favorite dramas like Move to Heaven and Devil Judge. Imo, Devil Judge is really close to a masterpiece but two annoying characters kinda deter it from reaching that level

I loved it too! It was really well done

I disagree with you. I feel like this is one of the first few dramas where the ml and fl were NOT perfect. They had lots of problems in their relationships which boiled down to personality flaws rather than "misunderstandings" and "communication issues". FL was like a tiger mom but to her husband, never empathizing with him, always yelling at him and being overly jealous/immature. ML literally wanted his wife to die from a tumor in the first few episodes

I'm not sure if that's what you would call perfect lol but I really enjoyed both of them learning to work on themselves and improve their relationships

For me personally, CLOY and QOT are two completely different types of dramas

My issues with CLOY are that even though it is supposed to be more grounded in realism, a lot of the elements felt makjang. SeRi is one of the richest CEOs and that villain infiltrates her security team? She takes that long to locate him in South Korea when she has all the money in the world she can spend? It makes no sense to me personally . Also, ML and FL are perfect people in CLOY, which is like ok. Don't get me wrong, CLOY is a strong drama but I'm just pointing out criticisms

For me, QOT is a lot more unrealistic and falls into that rom com fiction but it elicits a lot of emotions due to its heartfelt nature. What I loved about it is that similar to CLOY, it's a romance that subverts tropes. It is not meant to be as grounded into reality as CLOY but its plot is sensical and the story made sense. I also loved the character dynamics between everyone and how they became a family. I also loved that FL and ML were both really flawed people who worked on themselves throughout the drama. FL was an overbearing, unempathetic wife to her husband. Meanwhile, Baek HyunWoo wanted his wife to literally die from her tumor...I wouldn't wish that on someone I hate

Stuff that annoyed me about QOT is Baek HyunWoo's relentless plot armor like surviving a car crash and then getting shot. It also felt too makjang-ish. I was also annoyed with the female gaze imposed on SooCheol and how he accepted DaHye back with no repercussions.

QOT is lighthearted whilst also being refreshing for its genre whereas CLOY is a really nice drama for a more serious tone. Both dramas are ofc flawed and I can see the appeal for both

Tbh, I disagree with you. I sorta feel like what you said applies more to QOT. Arguably, the characters, particularly Baek HyunWoo and the mother of Hong HaeIn, who both went from selfish and shallow to self sacrificing. I didn't have a problem with this character development personally though, it seemed plausible

For CLOY, my main criticism would be how absurd the drama becomes. The FL is a literal CEO, can buy out anything in the world but somehow the main villain travels to South Korea easily and infiltrates her security team...it makes no sense. Private corporation owners and millions get away with a lot of shit - she got really nerfed to give the drama unnecessary tension

QOL did well in this aspect. I felt like all the plot points in regards to the legal stuff and corporation politics was easy to follow through and sensical. I didn't like Baek Hyunwoo's weird plot armor (dude survived an insane car crash and a bullet near his lungs), as well as the pervading female gaze imposed upon main characters (like SooCheol not once feeling anger towards DaHye)

Because the comments are the *queens of tear*
Sorry had to when u used that word

You guessed right

Unfortunately, their public persona becomes a product to be consumed

Hard agree

I think having them being a couple is fine as long as the characters are well written and there is a great story on top. Extraordinary You did this well (they were implied to be a couple rather than officially but they both knew they liked each other)
