Yup. 3 reviews now for a completed drama when we are not even 1/3 into it.

I seriously think you should study more. There are various King Sejong Institutes around and online Korean courses. You learn more cultural and social history by studying the languages. I mean if you want to kill time. I wouldn't suggest visiting regularly as its expensive and its different. However learning to read and write would be useful. Otherwise you would literally zone out.

I happen to grow up reading more British literature only because my parents studied in the UK. I am not American by the way so I watch some Mandarin and mostly Korean dramas. Its the dramas I am interested in not necessarily the actors. When I am subbing or was subbing I researched when I was watching ie politics, subway system or the food. So I paid more attention to the scene. It has helped me a lot in my Korean cooking by the way and I am an excellent Korean cook and visit there regularly with my kids. I haven't been to China. Chinese dramas don't feature as many meals. If they do fully half are Western dishes. Then the Chinese historical drama dishes- poor production budget on food. Those deep fried xyz dishes. I literally felt like commenting- did the props person ever thought how oil is produced before they churn out all those deep fried dishes esp the fish? I also dislike the same dishes in every single freaking modern drama. Those skewers and the river snail noodles. I happen to like stinky tofu.

So I am just saying... try spreading out your love rather than just watching. Good luck with your VPN. I am going back to my ebook. I happen to have a couple of job applications to fill out today so that will take hours. All these 6 pages of job descriptions stuff are a pain in the butt. So no Cdramas for me today except for The Legend of a female general.

Go learn to be a segmenter on viki. That would take up hours of your day. I think you still need to enrol there. There are also YT channels about life in China. There is a lady; is she from somewhere in Africa who is married to a Chinese man. She does rustic cooking using log fire. She cooks very well. I also intermittently follow a Korean blogger who lives in the countryside and does seasonal cooking. I don't have that much tv time to recommend anything else. There is Korean Englishman as well. There is the Kian84 drams on Netflix. The crazy airbnb one. However my favourites are the 3 Meals a day series. Its online somewhere. Chinese documentaries wise- try those martial art competitions. They are good watching.

There are other things besides dramas to help you from OD. What about learning taichi? I would also suggest learning up one region in China since you watch dramas. Yunan, Shanghai and then the universities. Lol. I was talking to one commenter in Beyond the bar about debates and moot courts. Then I discovered when I was trying to show them a competition then one of the winners of it happens to live in Australia. He also happens to have graduated from Harvard and Tsinghua. So so random info. So things like that continues your interest but doesn't OD you on dramas.

This are just random tangent suggestions. I don't live in the US but know what some of the Ivy League universities are. I have family there who either graduated from there or when there. Random info- I used to watch the Harvard Din and Tonics when they went on tour.

Bye. So you can see how drama watching can be more than drama watching. Hope these suggestions will kill some leisure hours for you.

The other commenters were talking about. There is another service. VIU but that's in Asia. I suggest using VPN then if you're a paid subscriber and go to the Indonesian site.

Holy cow. You really do have a lot of subscription. Geez. Do you study the languages then? To kill time.

I used to be a viki subber before kids. I sub Mandarin and Korean dramas. That takes up more time and I learn more rather than just watch.

Good luck. I usually wait a few days. I have Netflix and viki. I actually watch more sports programme and Grand Designs on another channel.

Thank you very much. Will watch it then off to bed early.

Not on both WeTV? I know viki will air in a few says normally. I found it on YT. I am actually not watching and waiting for it to turn up on viki. Is it a regional thing as furtherccomments are that its not available because of one distributor. What or who is Limon in Europe?

Thanks.

Which episode? I only have time tonight to watch specific moments. Thanks.

Which episode please? I have no time to watch the episodes today but wouldn't mind the rough minutes or episodes.

Gosh darn job applications. I actually have to prepare for interviews.

Well its called legal channels. Pay for the legal site. They are doing the responsible things for the international audience. All 4 legal sites listed above are paid subscription service.

Did I miss something with no episode for 2 days? What happened? There are no episodes this Sat to Mon as well.

I am happy with that. That medical drama has way more romance than this though. Lol. I don't think there is any romance for anyone in this Beyond the bar.

I am trying to work out the 2 associates morning after story today.

I finished ep 6. Isn't there symmetry in the episode? I like symmetry.

Based on the earlier comments I thought it was separate plot points.

How to end a relationship? What is your self worth?

- clean. Like the other associate.
- incomplete. Yoon who has not moved on.
- badly. The client. Who discovered her self worth.

Was the episode about Yoon reaching self realisation?

What was the cliffhanger about? Didn't I just read about Yoon YS having 20 pyeong balcony in a house worth USD $6.3 million?

And Yoon has a freaking stand alone house. Isn't this in Seoul?

I purposely went to another legal drama with minimal romance. Witch at court. There. That has a hint at the last 2 minutes of that drama. Its still cringy.

So I like the interactions between 2 adults lawyers here. Can't people be colleagues instead of insisting that they must fall for each other. How uncomfortable must it be to be a single male if every female colleague must fall for you?

I thought the drama was about a cold hearted senior lawyer. Then a new intern came in and learnt to be a lawyer.

The end.

So we have a lot of cases during each episode. We saw the 2 of them. Plus colleagues. We see how she learns. He is shown as an efficient and effective lawyer.

There.

Any interactions to me are as is. Not a hint of future romance.

Geez. Call it a legal procedural drama then. We have enough Korean dramas without romance around. Netflix didn't have a romance tag right? Mydramalist has zero participation or financial support behind this series. They couldn't have told the writer/ producter to write in romance into the storyline.

Lol. Its fine. I like this show. I don't even have much to critique about this drama. People do strange things all the time. Its the only Korean show I am following at present because no others interest me. I hapoen to like LJW even though his real life persona has taken a beating. Powerful opponents happened to be one of the earliest Kdramas I've picked up so LJW and
Chae Rim have a soft spot in my heart. I am now going back to my real life. Yeah sorry; I have had to pick apart different legislature this week and answering what are the corporate rights and responsibilities. So this show was actually relaxing. Lol.

She didn't give him a choice or chance. That's not respecting the marriage. She can choose an abortion but you're advocating personal rights trumps communication with your partner on such an important decision.

He could have divorced her. However its with a full knowledge why he did. But its an even worse feeling knowing your wife chose to have an abortion and would have never told him.

Marriage is about trust.

This is a legal drama. I don't have to accept emotional reasoning as an argument to excuse her reason. I can accept it in any other drama. However in this case the new lawyer did not practice due diligence.

I also don't have the time to give you the exhaustive examples of which parts of the law the mother harmed her daughter by chosing the withold her daughter's limitations. I presume this extended to the school.

I was skipping through but the case is copyright infringementright case/violation right? So she has to pay compensation for it. The penalties include fines and imprisonment. So representating your child who is an adult is usually not binding. I mean you don't have the legal right as a parent to an adult unless they are deemed to not have the mental capacity to make decisions.

Gosh. I am not trying to not answer but I really don't have time. I unfortunately need to work with legal terms in real life. In my free time... well before the last several years I needed to know the Korean legal acts. Go read up on the copyright law. The website is very interesting. The Korean website is more informative than one thinks. The law clerk has to file each step they do and its all there.

If you want to know more and I mean properly not via Kdrama and random articles- the Korean court system has an English section where you can search cases and verdicts. I would say if he had won he would have won the copyright infringement case then sue her for defamation because his reputation as an artist was lowered. I am not sure personal apology is sufficient as she is an adult.

Now in these cases- would the Korean parent withold information and would she be liable for her daughter's debts? She would. And her daughter would need to be assessed. So if she can't be tried then the mother would be the one who is the next responsible person.

I hate rushed comments but tease out what I say; in the context that the writer of this drama is an attorney... why the punchline of her being intellectually disabled with the intelligence of a 13 year old? Its specific. So she must have been tested. This usually means its probably ASD 3 functional. She is legally liable for copying the painting. So then you are debating whether the mother would withold the truth or tell the truth to get a reduced sentence.

What would the mother do? I am not speculating on the author's mindset. I see a lot of protective parents. I rarely see parents who's been in denial for over 20 years especially when the police, medical and law systems are involved. I am not sure about the educational system.

I think in these sort of cases I cannot see any parent successfully attempting to hide mental incapacity.

🤣🤣🤣

The legal acts in Korea are different other countries. The personality liability issues would make the parent divulge the truth. Otherwise her adult daughter would be up for serious compensation amounts. This is a legal drama. She probably won't for everyday life but its a a different case here. You don't pray to win the suit. That's why its done pro bono isn't it? They won't be able to pay any monetary amount if they lose.
