I think Suzuki was the only sponsor, and with the exception of one very drawn-out scene of May driving, I don't think there was any overt PPL.

If you're intentionally trying to get a negative response, why did you respond with a passive aggressive comment? Seems like you can't take what you dish lol.

At the end of the day, this is not a big deal, there are much bigger issues in the world, but it's really disappointing to see someone spoil someone else's fun just because they can't keep their comments to themselves. Very sad.

Opinions are allowed to be shared but as much as you want Mario and Mint, there are people who want Mario and Kimmy. If you post a negative comment on a show with Mario and Kimmy as the main characters, you're likely going to get people who find your comment offensive. If you post negative opinions, you're gonna get negativity back.

Love this article! I am a big fan of SLS because I love jealousy and I love nice guys. But I've recently realized that the reason I love these nice guys is because I'm watching their actions with rose-colored glasses. If we took the camera away and analyzed the SL's actions point-blank, I'm sure that we wouldn't find many of their scenes as romantic.

It wasn't until the insane love triangle in Start Up that I was able to realize that so many of my favorite dramas do not give the FL agency, like you said. Every one kept shouting to the rooftops how the SL in Start Up deserved the FL, but if the FL literally had no interest in him, he never even had a chance.

It really opened my eyes to just how little I and the general public give FLs the benefit of the doubt. They are usually the protagonists of the story but instead of cheering them on for their own personal growth, we become so focused on the men of the story and their journey to finding love.

I agree with these concerns a lot! I actually dropped the drama at ep 19 because there was such little character development. You could've plopped the personality of the FL from ep 1 in ep 19 and it wouldn't have made a difference to the story, which unfortunately for me, made her incredibly unlikable. She gets into a fight with her friends, they resolve it, and then she literally does the same thing again within the same episode without any concern. I would also say the same for the ML. Sure, he does things out of his comfort zone for her, but there's no indication that it's has impacted his character at all.

And you're right about the "professional single" part. Apart from episode one, there's not any other reference to her being single. Which isn't a big deal because there are loads of dramas with nonsensical titles but it's just another example of weak writing.

I came to this page trying to see if I was alone in these thoughts, so it's great to see that I'm not.

In Filipino culture, we use "kuya" (for guys) and "ate" (for girls). I'd say it's most similar to "P'" in that we use it to show respect to an older person but also similar to "gege" to indicate we're close to them. Also a good way to friendzone someone or charm someone, like if you're trying to barter lol.
