Title My Amazing Boyfriend
Why do Chinese dramas always put the entire drama into the credits?
I was just thinking that! I try to skip the credits and the intro because I feel like it's a huge spoiler!

Title She Was Pretty Spoiler
Min Ha Ri is mean >___<
I think she could be forgivable if she came clean. She is, after all, searching for happiness too. If she grows as a character and takes responsibility for her actions (and realizes he can't love a lie), then I think I'd be fine with her. I feel like she was more desperate to feel loved than doing it to hurt Hye Jin. Doesn't make it ok, but I can at least empathize with her... as long as she does the right thing in the end (but preferably way before the end lol)

Title She Was Pretty Spoiler
I wish this drama won't have some sort of magical make over that would make her look uber pretty in the end. It…
I agree with NekoMinSeo. Yes, people should care how they look, but the show starts out with the "pretty" character Ha Ri as not having it together either. I think teaching Hye Jin some techniques to manage her curly hair and dull the effects of her cheeks, but in I think the message should be that you don't have to kill yourself to look flawless for love. After all, Hye Jin fell in love with Seong Jun when they were kids despite him being a fatty and her being super popular... So, the potential is there for this drama to break away from the societal "norm" of beauty is always better.

Oh my gosh! I love this show. I just.... There are not words! Si Won's character is SO funny. I love most of the other characters too, but I laugh so hard at Kim Shin Hyeok's crazy antics!!!!

Article Patriarchy, Abuse and Gender Roles in Asian Dramas
Thank you! I agree a lot with everything you've said and, even though I have enjoyed some of the dramas listed here as a whole, the things you've stated have always bothered me. As you said in the beginning, these are things that are prevalent in many countries, but is definitely something I never understood in any setting. There is a right and a wrong way to treat people, and yes some people have a forceful way of interacting. That should at least be mentioned in passing. There are SO many times I want the characters (usually female) to say "Hey, that's not okay. Tell me that you want to do x, y, or z and I'll tell you if I agree. If not, that's just how it is!" I feel like a lot of these instances are telling the viewers that it's okay to do these things; that it's healthy. It's not. It's hurtful and hateful.

Title Orange Marmalade Spoiler
How was it in the end? Did itt get tidied up or did it remain messy? I'm seriously considering picking it up again.
There were no messes in the end. You should finish it.
