Moonbeam

But the soundtrack is killing me, why are they putting on the same song over and over again??

I don't like the FL’s mom, she is so irritating, but I also don’t think the drama would have been better without her (as some people say), so far she’s doing like, half of the story, she’s the main reason for conflict, other character’s certain behaviors. She seems to be the main “villain” in the drama, without her a big part of the plot would be lost lol. (But I hate her, omg watching some of these scenes I can’t stop myself from imagining how would I have crashed out at her…)

The second couple was fun though

Does his mother lookalike (the 2020 one) is his mother or no? And does the ml (the son) end up with her as the main couple?

I wish we’d get second season… eh…

One Spring Night (Jung Hae In seems to appear in in quite well-know noona romance dramas haha), also You’re My Pet/Kimi wa Petto and The Witch’s Diner.
Thanks for the list.

Thanks, and of course it wasn’t supposed to be medically perfect, I didn’t think like that either. I wrote that comment just because the subject was quite interesting and I had some free time.

So, I read, that both psychopathy and sociopathy are not disorders in themselves but are seen as traits when diagnosing other conditions (such as Antisocial Personality Disorder, that the female lead has), but when I looked for the defining traits of both, I found the FL for more with sociopathy (in my opinion, as I saw/interpreted her behavior in the drama - doesn’t mean that it’s an objectively correct interpretation), however her disorders is actually associated with psychopathy?

Thanks. It’s a pity they never explore his character deeply like that in Crash, it maybe would have been a bit angsty but it would have been so interesting.

I’m really disappointed by the lawyer, I thought he’d be more capable, he made a stupid decision cutting ties with the former employees and not being very enough around that housekeeper that stayed, and he’s getting all comfortable in that mansion instead of being aware of the constant danger their plan is facing…
And his sister is going to spill the secrets unintentionally, and I’m 99% sure and I am already so irritated and done with it…

Ah… I feel like everyone is going to cause problems actually (and the FL will have to deal with them until she also makes a stupid mistake or something)… I predict, these characters are going to be so careless, no common sense! And inefficient, disloyal or too curious for everyone’s good, I’m going to get an aneurysm or something from watching all that happen 😖😩 but I already started this drama and I am curious about the plot enough that I can’t stop watching now… help me…

I feel like FL’s mother is going to cause so much problems… eh, it’s gonna get irritating.

some say that the first episodes are boring, and it gets better after. I had a very different experience, I’d say the the earlier episodes (particularly 1&2) were my favorite (as in their entirety, because there are moments and parts in later episodes that I really liked but each episode as a whole? I didn’t enjoy as much - maybe except the backstory one, I guess).

I agree, I don’t think he should have known love/attraction before, since knowing it was part of the punishment for him (falling in love and being forced to lose it etc) which was the final wish of the female lead in her 1st reincarnation (also because really he is just the bad guy in general (even though he also is the protagonist in the drama), why would he know romantic love?).

I had a similar experience (the research and new information that I enjoyed). Honestly, there are many works that are inspired or based on religious myths and religion, and they take from it (and such works will continue to be created, I guess), like with Christianity you have “Lucifer” and “Good Omens” for example, where they take creative liberties and things get controversial if you consider them with the actual Christian beliefs/teachings or texts.
Some of these might rub someone the wrong way, and I get it (I feel like that about some of this stuff too), but right now I don’t think it’s that big of a deal at the end of the day, at this point.
I mean, I’ve seen the Christian devil be romanticized in media quite a lot, I’ve learned to distance from it and not bother, I guess.
We live in times when anything and everything could get “appropriated” or used, it does not mean that this anything and everything is essentially bad at the end (for example like you said, that you had a positive experience, and even learned new things, while understanding that this drama’s portrayal isn’t accurate to the actual religion/beliefs/myths).

I’d say (based on what I’ve seen here) that the majority didn’t really enjoy it. Anyway, well, this and Uncontrollably Fond have quite different plots and a bit different genre/vibe so it’s kinda hard to compare (for me), there’s not much use in comparison but because the leads are the same it’s natural to want to compare it, I guess.

The fact that quite a lot of things might get commonly labeled (by people who aren’t knowledgeable in the subject) as “psychopathy” when it might be something different and the fact that psychopathy and sociopathy are not one and the same, are quite true regardless of whatever else I said about the female lead and her condition is right or not.

“I feel like” does not indicate that I am an expert in this subject, nor do I call myself an expert.
I brought up examples based on that what I read (and asked a person that is somehow educated on it) about psychopathy/sociopathy, so after some research - however brief. I am no expert, so if someone corrects me I welcome it, but please, provide me with an explanation why or where I was wrong, or proof of the correct research.

Also, why are you being so rude? There’s no reason for it…

It’s true, I feel like they “lose the plot” a couple of times and it comes off weird (not really with the main leads though -maybe just once or twice-, more so all the supporting characters and the related stories). I still quite liked it (all the magical stuff was fun).

I feel like the female lead should be described as a sociopath (since she is supposed to have Antisocial Personality Disorder) rather than a psychopath (“a psycho”).
Those are not the same and her behavior fits the traits of sociopathy more, I guess, not psychopathy (she isn’t very cold, calculating or highly manipulative, she is more impulsive, prone to “throwing a tantrum” when upset/not getting what she wants and her behavior tends to be more sudden and aggressive).
“A psychopath” seems to be the most popular phrase to describe abnormal behavior though, and is used inaccurately in some situations, which might be misleading.

(Not that media/kdramas is that great at portraying mental illness, conditions and disorders etc but anyway)

Yeah… sorry about the “is it a mockery?” part of my comment - I deleted it already - my mdl is glitching really badly sometimes so usually I just write my comments etc in the notes app and then copy-paste them, I must have accidentally copied a fragment of another text and it got posted like this (idk how this happened though haha), sorry if it felt a bit incomprehensible because of that.

Thanks, was it explained (how you explained it) in the drama?? (I’ve only seen the first couple of episodes, I don’t mind minor spoilers though- I know a lot of the plot already anyway lol)

Yeah, he played similarly kinda autistic/ocd-coded character in “because this is my first life”.
