Two scenes I keep re-watching - when the mother was told at her antenatal appt she had lost the baby, that was beautifully heart-wrenching 💔... and their first band practice when Song Ha is lead singer 🤭😂🤣deadset still gives me the giggles
Loved it! Of course there were flaws but I ain't gonna dwell on them, as with 40 eps, it'll be hard not to have any. However, the cinematography alone with ZLH makes it unforgettable for me. Story was a bit long-winded and by the end I really didn't care much about who, when ir why. I ffwd a lot of Qi Min and Yu storyline because I didn't care much for them, Baoer held my interest more. Romance was 😍
Knowing to that part his father also loved his mother too. Parents unintentionally hurt their children. Do you…
Are you a bot?! Suicide is not a matter of right or wrong. It's a result of what the person feels. Ultimately it's not for you to judge whether Chan was right or wrong in his decision. Try and understand him first, which also leads to your ques, why is he obsessed with a mother who left him? abandonment issues... that's self-explanatory, children abandoned by a parent is traumatised, in whatever form that trauma takes is whatever form it manifests, it'snot for anyone else to say how he should react or why he shouldnt even react... drawing is the one thing that makes Chan feel alive, who is anybody to tell him to stop, let alone his father, who is meant to protect and nurture him? Your culture might expect that so you might understand the father and why he's like that.

unintentionally though doesn't lessen the hurt and the trauma... of course no father wants their son to commit suicide but it's not about what he wants, because that's where their problems are... what he wanted didn't align with what Chan wanted so he resorted to demeaning and humiliating him instead
just finished ep 7... I really don't like storylines where someone eggs someone on to forgive another person without knowing the full story... in this case, Ha Ran doesn’t know shit about what Chan's father did to make him react like that yet the writers have her encourage him to give his father a chance! At times like these, as a partner, should just shut up and listen if he wants to talk about it.
Recently, I started watching C-dramas, but I’m genuinely confused why so many of them seem to normalize borderline…
Yes, I had trouble with watching Speed because of this. Not Hidden Love, I felt their dynamic was different.
Just be selective with what you watch. Technically, it's not illegal for them so they'll keep making them as there are a lot of sickos out there who get off on those inappropriate storylines.
Btw framing this as paedophilic is incorrect as that is specifically and technically a clinical term for attraction to under 13yos. If you throw around a term like that, at least use it correctly.
Huh? She was 20-21 when he first fell for her, while he was 26-27...they start dating when she is 22 and he is…
One is settled and one's just starting out... there may be a gap but hardly a deal breaker or 'massive' when you have attraction. He is also just new to the pipeline field they're working in even though he's in management.
Just because they’re at different life stages doesn’t mean the relationship isn’t realistic or is doomed. It’s a different dynamic, not an obstacle. They’re drawn to each other, and that’s what matters. Plenty of relationships work despite life/stage differences.
If she’s so mature and strong-headed that she won’t just get married because her father tells her to or because…
Those traits aren't mutually exclusive at all. A person can be mature and strongheaded while still feeling the weight of family and societal expectations. In fact, that tension is what makes a character believable and actually the whole point of her character! Someone can recognise what is right for themselves and still struggle with the consequences of going against their family. That’s the kind of internal conflict many people experience in real life, especially in cultures where filial duty is important. In this drama, Lee Jeong is mature enough to stand up to her father, she knows what he's doing is pretty much selling her off. She's strongheaded in that she will not compromise her morals just to please her father or her boyfriend. All the while, she knows her cultural expectation is filial piety and that's where she's conflicted. She knows what she wants but she also doesn't want to let her mother down, she's not really caring about what the father wants.
