I love Maeng Se Na she might honestly be one of my favorite FLs in a while but finding out she didnāt sleep or eat for three days just because of his dating gave me the biggest ick. I am glad the show is actually addressing stuff like this though, because this kind of behavior exists in real life, especially in idol fandoms, and itās honestly insane. Like girlā¦ you donāt know that man š itās odd to me how normalized that level of emotional investment is.
Iām not really an idol fan (I donāt even listen to K-pop, Iām more into dramas), but if my favorite actress started dating, Iād be happy for her thatās her life. Obsession being framed as devotion is exactly what needs to be called out.
People keep saying this would be better as a non romance and Iām confused becauseā¦ the drama is literally a romance? š The chemistry is there already. Iām enjoying the story way more than I expected, and her already being obsessed is honestly what makes their dynamic fun. Canāt wait for the moment she falls in love with him, not the fantasy version she imagined.
Iāve also seen people complain about the FL being an āobsessive fan,ā but she hasnāt done anything out of line or creepy at all. Sheās actually very smart, self aware, and extremely professional when it comes to her job.
Iām honestly so excited for this drama! I love Nam Ji-hyun, and itās been a while since we had a good historical K-drama. The story seems really interesting, the chemistry looks great so far.
Every Do Ra-il scene makes me want to cry. The actor is so good he carries this quiet sadness so well. You can tell this is someone whoās been longing to be loved his whole life, but never truly loved for who he is, only for what he represents. He honestly reminds me of Tantai Jin š Iām just hoping his peaceful days come soon because my heart canāt take this anymore. And Maeng Se-naā¦ I love her so much. Sheās literally representing us fan girls, but what I love most is how professional, smart, and level-headed she is. She knows when to draw boundaries and when to stand her ground, and that makes her even more lovable.
I was trying to watch this drama because I really like the cast, but omgā¦ I just canāt with this story. Itās so uncomfortable, I feel like the plot is straight-up predator energy. I love the actors but the way this is written is giving me major cringe and anxiety vibes.
What hurt most is how real this felt. Being idolized but completely dehumanized at the same time, having no safe space, no voice. This drama really shows how cruel public perception can be.
