Because in English they say 'cheese' when taking a picture not 'kimchi'
Yes, thanks for explaining the obvious, but that is exactly my point! It doesn't actually require an explanation thankyou! As I said, we are not idiots!
For everyone who is struggling to suspend their disbelief, at the difficult plot, just a reminder: This is Joseon era, and linked to "Bossam Steal The Fate". Women were chattal, at best, and were expected to follow the newer interpretations of the Analects of Confuscious I.e. neo-confuscianusm. Women's rights were significantly eroded compared with the Goryeo period. Widowed women were NOT allowed to remarry, but rather, expected to follow their husbands into death Your family could be rewarded by the Crown (big financial rewards) if you killed yourself, to follow in your husband's footsteps. Did none of you watch " The Story of Park's Marriage Contract" or "Knight Flower"?!? And if you were raped? Definitely kill yourself! Did none of you watch "My Dearest"?!? The Queen Dowager, absolutely cannot have a lover At that time it was considered a far worse moral crime, than suicide. And running away?! How exactly is the most famous woman in Joseon - The Queen Dowager - meant to do that? My rant is done. *deep sigh*
I'm enjoying this drama more than I expected, ML is such a walking meme like he always makes me smile like stupid…
Agree about Singles Inferno! And I'm weirdly more invested in this dating show - I actually fist pumped when the ML made the connection with the female contestant in the "Loyalty" scene 🤣
I find the 2nd hand embarrassment from this, so much easier to deal with, than in SI too. Reality TV is excruciating IMO
As this show progresses, I am further in awe of Go Kyung Pyo. His ability to physically express one set of emotions, whilst verbally expressing the opposite, is so compelling for me. And Kang Ha Na is perfect!
This show is my life saver at the moment - Light and fluffy is all I can manage RN. And this also has enough underlying pathos to make the characters' relationships more realistic and engaging.
I cant be the only one who is kinda on the teachers side?
I feel for him sure, but he was pretty defensive. But in saying that, he gave one hell of an apology after he'd had time to think! The pressure on teachers in this system, is mind-boggling!
Maybe it's because people have only seen sky castle so they don't know... But the education system in most of…
I'm not sure I agree with you about it being across Asia. Certainly cram schools (Hagwon in SK) are across many regions and the pressure to achieve high scores on final exams, is common across regions. But South Korea takes the cake for just how much pressure is applied.
It's now considered a necessity for children to attend Hagwons from an early age, in order to get a good enough score for university entry, in South Korea. This is cited as a significant factor in why many people can't afford to have children! Meanwhile China, for example, has completely banned cram schools, for providing an unfair/unequal advantage to the rich.
I like this series. However I would really like to see some comedy in it. I fear it is becoming more and more…
Totally agree. Especially considering it's genre-labelled as comedy. Admittedly SK comedies are often not my style of humour, and that's alright. But so far, this show seems mislabelled.
This is a pretty interesting Saeguk, in making the adversarial characters, complex and sympathetic. To me, that's so much more realistic than single-faceted psychos. And the good guys are not necessarily all good either.
So nice to read all the +ve comments here. It's brought me right back into that feeling of quiet joy, that Meet Youself brings without even having to view it again (though I surely will) ❤️Thankyou MDLers ❤️
If you genuinely mean that men don't get enough dramas and are being treated unfairly and all, this is like, wrong…
I disagree. Moonrise makes a case for both males and females, having to choose from bad scripts, written for We-Chat influencers. It's not reasonable to throw out the very important label 'misogynistic', when you haven't actually read what they've written.

I always associate the tag 'melo' with the idea of 'mellow', which might just be right on the money for this show 😅
