Also since ML is a doctor who does patient examinations and surgeries he absolutely cannot wear bracelets or rings all day without taking them off.

Shin Min-ah probably has some clause in her contract about getting paid a certain amount for each kiss and the fee is less for a “stage kiss” than something more intense. They are probably budgeting for a better kiss later, LOL

It’s what she named her, ahem, special toys

that was a “stage kiss” which isn’t uncommon in TV and film. Look it up.

Unfortunately doctors being curt with their patients and abusing the concept of informed consent is pretty common IRL and they do not usually get fired for it.

The thing I notice about Yeon Woo is that he doesn’t want to be perceived as caring for too much about anyone, including So Jin, because the truth is *he doesn’t want to end up pathetic and clingy like his mother.* So he avoids saying things like “this is not a good time, I’m on a date right now.”

Kang Hoon reminds me a little of my husband in terms of having an old-fashioned (but not toxic) attitude about romantic relationships. But my God, he’s such a hot mess. He’s so overcommitted and unable to establish healthy boundaries that I can’t see him maintaining a serious romantic relationship (like he says he wants to have).

Yes this is why I said the example in this show is not really polyamory - although being in a polyamorous relationship and an open relationship aren’t necessarily the same thing. The way I understand it is that polyamory is like being in a marriage with three or more people: it may be open or not. But dating non-exclusively is not polyamory.

I know the stated premise of this show is totally silly but it’s just a ruse, really. It quickly becomes evident that the FL’s search for a man with complementary DNA is her not being honest with herself about what she’s seeking, wants, and expects in a relationship. It’s a reaction to the trauma of growing up with the family she had.

Thing is, it’s not just FL - everyone in the ensemble cast does this thing where they say “I want this, my relationships should be like this,” but it’s really just a kind of self-deception, or cope for something else (fear of commitment, a habit of over commitment, fear of being cheated on, fear of unrequited love). That’s really what the drama is about.

I’ve noticed that what’s referred to as “polyamory” in Kdramas isn’t really that, it just seems to be people dating like my grandparents’ generation did (I’m American).

I thought it was hilarious especially since I’m currently re-watching Bloodhounds right now too.

Like how the make protagonist of her stories looks like Secretary Yeo, the female protagonist looks like her, and the male protagonist appears to have a Secretary who is a Fork Gyu lookalike.

This show is just littered with sight gags, especially when Nam Ja-yeon is visualizing something in the setting of the smutty web novel series she writes. It’s hilarious every time.

Me toooo. I’m very excited to see her branching out from the usual villainous roles she gets shoehorned into. She’s an underrated actress IMO.

I’ve been watching it and oof, you’re right. the subtitles (on Apple TV) are pretty bad too.

I managed to convince my husband to see this with me and he liked it even though he’s not a Kdrama fan.

I was like “where have I seen that guy before” and then I realized it was “Beyond Evil.”

Came for Han Sun-hwa, staying for Uhm Tae-goo making big puppy dog eyes at his crush.

It’s apparently showing in the U.S. now (July 6), but not in a lot of theaters.

Okay. I will have to take your word for it, since I’m not on Twitter
