Yes there was. A woman taking out a scam loan during Covid because her restaurant is about to go under is very logical setup. Good kdramas are logical.

If you're not into things that are "cringe" I fear kdrama romances are not the place for you. Like what are you doing here for real.

I loved season one, but I thought this was a HUGE disappointment. They gave up on character and logic in service of showing us the same fight scene a dozen times. I'm bummed tbh.

Lovely Runner didn't need Netflix, neither does this.

Struggling to not judge the intelligence of people who are calling this slow…

It wasn't really about AI relationships. It was about what makes real relationships worthwhile.

This started so much stronger than it ended. Kind of disappointing.

wasted potential. and they murdered his grandmother.

This was great. Both leads had really well written, powerful arcs and our 2nd male lead is my absolute favorite kind of character. If you like a redemption story, definitely check this out.

i liked this so much more than soundtrack #1. the chemistry was so much stronger.

I loved this. I think it did exactly what it set out to do which is craft a really successful romance around the idea of being known. For some reason, people latched on to its portrayal of fans but it was never set up as a commentary on fan culture or idol life. From the jump we met two characters who weren't truly known by the people in their lives; who kept huge aspects of their inner selves secret and separate. The show as about the importance of forging connections and letting people in. The idol/fandom aspect was just the setting.

I'm curious what theme you thought it was attempting to tackle... It was pretty clear to me the theme was about the importance of being truly known. They both needed someone to know them and accept them as they truly are. It was a romantic setup about forging connection from the jump.

The beginning and end of every episode is fire. And then the middle is ... not.

I don't think the gap is as wide as people like to think between Korean and American audiences. (And all audiences tbh). Shows made for network tv in Korea (like SBS) are subject to broadcast standards and shows made by Netflix, Disney+ etc. simply aren't. Korean TV creators aren't catering to Americans but rather finally have platforms available to tell stories that could never find a home on broadcast.

You did not say you haven't watched it and why are you answering someone's question about the show if you haven't watched. You're out here calling people stupid and wrong when you are literally factually wrong about the situation on the show. And in this context, the difference between adoption and being married in is that the adoption is secret. One of these guys thinks they're blood cousins. And the adoption is a reveal so the audience ALSO thinks they're blood cousins until the end. Step off, child.

what have they done kim jaeyoung's face???

This series was lovely. So many of these criticisms are flat out inaccurate. If you skipped or fast forwarded scenes you didn’t actually watch the show.

the irony in repeatedly implying i'm unintelligent when you've yet to write a single coherent comment. farewell indeed.

lol your diatribe isn't worthy of my attention. you should be embarrassed by how condescending you're being.

Bruh I'm not reading all that. If you think the Japanese minister of transport should be given significant screentime, I implore you not to write TV.
