"I thought most of mdl memebers were advanced"Lmao Does "advanced" mean accepting cheating to you? Then I must…
I really didn’t want to get into defending my point, but I feel the need to clarify. When did relationships like this start? Are they truly honest from the beginning? Honestly, I don’t think so. The way this relationship develops shows they weren’t fully honest with each other. This creates the tension. He’s there because of her wealth and attraction, which isn’t exactly love. This isn’t a fairytale. The writer is using this setup to show that while the protagonist should be good, he’s not without flaws. Everyone has shortcomings, and that’s what makes it real.
Now, about the cheating part—I’m focusing on his emotional state. I don’t think it’s actually happened yet. And if it does, let’s see what unfolds. We need to understand why he might do it and how it plays out. It’s unfair to judge without seeing the whole picture. Yes, he's emotionally conflicted, as I said before, and that's why he’s acting this way.
And if you still don’t get it, I’m not sure how to convey it any clearer.
The criticism about the cheating part is totally out of the box. I never expected most of the kisskh members to be this what fo you called nitpicking. I thought they were advanced and welcoming of different aspects of storytelling with varied scenarios—that's what growth is about. But no, you're always expecting the same old template-style screenplay like some Chinese dramas, and honestly, that's more disappointing.
Now, Gong Ryong falling for Eve Kim—I'm all in for it. Just think about it: if you had the chance to be rich, especially after enduring a tough childhood, wouldn't you take it? Love or no love, the practical choice is obvious—money. But here's where the drama gets you: what happens when you really fall in love? Would you still pick money over love? That's the brilliance of the concept—it makes you think, and it’s executed beautifully. To be honest, I find it refreshing and incredibly well-done. And let’s face it, most people would make the same choice.
Regarding the so-called misogynist part, I honestly don’t think there’s anything misogynistic about it. It’s just real and raw writing that reflects the character’s experiences and emotions. Not every line in a drama has to fit into a politically correct framework. Sometimes, these kinds of dialogues add depth and authenticity to the story. Labeling it misogynistic feels like nitpicking without understanding the context.
The drama, for me, is solid. Sure, it follows some K-drama templates, but it's got its own uniqueness, especially in terms of camera work and production quality. The first two episodes? Totally enjoyable. The humor, the punchlines, the comedic timing—it’s all top-notch. The performances and expressions are on point too.
At the end of the day, a drama is a drama. You pick what resonates with you and leave out what doesn’t. It’s really as simple as that—the drama should be entertaining, and that’s what should matter, and this delivers the wholesome package. By the way, I'm not Korean, so I don't know what’s considered valid or not by some, and I respect that. But I’m completely on board with this one, no matter what anyone says.
After watching Episode 2, I’ll rate it highly because its production value shows no compromises. As far as I’ve seen, it’s one of the top 5 productions in K-dramas. The direction is superb, perfectly complementing the stellar performances of lead actors Lee Min Ho and Gong Hyo Jin. I just hope the screenplay feels more unique and emotionally moving.
What did I watch, man! Two words for it—solidly entertaining. These two episodes were a wild ride. I do love black comedy, but this is on another level. It only happens when you have a solid script and a director who knows how it’s done, paired with a brilliantly performing cast.
