So my take on it: chaebol mom is up to something creepy and her target are BOTH kids. I think she is intentionally…
Welcome to current Korean beauty standards. Skinny for males, deadly skinny for females. It's honestly worrying how this unhealthy weight loss trend seems to be returning to the world!
Jung Il Woo was a lot more buff in Bossam Steal The Fate, if you otherwise like him.
Contrary to dramaland tropes NOT ALL prople want to be in relationships! I hope the FL and 2nd ML end up together. The FL does not actually care for the ML, she only has a long-standing crush aka limerance, for her own made up version of who he is - her limerant object. He has stated his position VERY clearly, and she very clearly has no respect for who he actually is. If she can grow up A LOT she might deserve the chance to be with SML, who does appear to love her as herself. It would be amazing to me, if the ML ends up on his own, living out an unencumbered life.
Now, I'm sure this will not be how this show actually plays out, but had to get my rant out of the way...on we roll.
This is a stellar cast, with lots of developing potlines that are pretty intriguing. But I have one BIG complaint. IRL AGE-GAP! Now I know everyone is incensed by anything >5years for couples. For me, as long as they're adults with high EQ, I don't care. But when the mother is 17 years older than 1st ML, that's when I become incensed. This is NOT set in Joseon! Even worse, 2ML's father is 14 years older, and step-mother is only 10 years older than him!
Just saw the trailer, and had to come back here to make sure they were talking about the same movie. ParkChan Wook directed Oldboy. This movie is a thriller. I'm pretty confident you can assume Son Ye Jin is not just playing a "supportive wife" role!
I somewhat agree with your comment about the tone, up until your ...american style... and then I completely disagree.…
It's understandable that you can't feel a connection. It is definitely slow moving with a lot of different plot lines flooding the first 2 eps. Though I do think you're being gracious to the other negative commenters. Most are coming across as hate without thought... At least you're trying to figure it out. Thanks for engaging without being antagonistic. I love it when people see things from a different perspective to me, and can actually discuss it without being a troll!
No but seriously what is this drama even about? Because we're already 4 episodes down and I still can't grasp…
In typical Family Drama style, it's an ensemble caat, rather than having a central couple. So there's multiple plotlines rather than a single distinct storyline. If you stick it out, these types of dramas can be IMMENSELY satisfying (if done well) with the growth of multiple characters and the resolution of many different plotlines, rather than just one.
It is not filmed properly. It is not WARM or PRESENT. It is like.... life in slow motion, without mych content,…
I somewhat agree with your comment about the tone, up until your ...american style... and then I completely disagree. This has a strongly beating heart to me. I'm expecting it to be a slow build, of character growth, for many different characters and their plot lines. In the style of Old School South Korean Family Dramas.
i wanted to start this drama for the romance. should i go for it or not? the rating is making me confused
It's a complex family drama. The romance is really secondary to that, but it is very sweet. Ignore all the hate comments. The cast is phenomenal and there's a lot of different plots running at once.
Although it is hard to watch 老牛吃嫩草 for me, but this drama have depth. So far into Episode 2 and it's…
I agree! For me, the character Patrick is much more attractive than Li Xian Hong! But for Han Rong, I think it's definitely showing a great example of how you can't help who you're attracted to!
I'm bracing myself to be challenged by this drama: Ep 1 Chen Hanrong narrates: Lovers fall in love with the idea of love. They don’t fall in love with each other...are we truly in love? Ooof!
Just a heads up to anyone coming here, to decide whether or not to watch. It's a FAMILY DRAMA with an ensemble cast. Don't watch if you're only looking for a LSK LDW standard, idol style RomCom. BUT if you want to watch an immensely talented ensemble cast, portray a family dramedy, from the perpheries of SK society, this is WELL WORTH IT.
The current profile pic is like an AI generated picture. His distinctive facial features, including 2 moles, are just blended out!? Why would you change it to this?
