If the show treated it as a demon takes a boy pet - that'd be hella fun. But that's not at all how the show treated it.

Feel like I watched a different show than everyone else. I thought this was awful. Absolutely no consistency in the world-building (how many SURPRISE THEY'RE SUPERNATURAL! moments did we really need??), the romance felt like a demon just wanted a pretty boy for a pet, the coincidence of the bad guys being who they were was ridiculous, and both ML and FL were completely one note. I don't feel like I got to know either one of them and I certainly don't feel like they got to know each other. I can't quite wrap my head around everyone thinking this was actually good...

Yes, I have.

The book, like the series, is split into four parts. The movie is just the first part, with a few elements from later brought forward.

It is just the first part of the book but they expand both her as a character and his first serious romantic relationship. And there are a few other elements from later in the book they bring forward. I thought it was really well done.

In the theater. There's a Korean theater chain in LA that had it.

Personally, I think this could have benefitted from a professional screenwriter. Narrative storytelling is a different craft entirely and this felt like they were simply filming the book rather than adapting that book for the screen. I found the movie to be a far more successful and poignant adaptation. I hope more people have access to it in the future.

I thought this was hella fun. Super twisty, dark, and poignant. And to everyone criticizing the FL - she's literally a child with zero power who can't trust anyone. What exactly did you expect her to do in any of these situations?

This was exceptionally redundant and devoid of conflict. One conversation with the ML's mom and the entire issue was solved. Not to mention the insufferable voice over that spelled out every single emotion the FL was having. And there was SO much time spent with the ridiculous coworkers who really didn't need to be there in the first place. I wish that time had been spent developing the friendship between FL and her sister-in-law.

lol it's not that kind of show at all...

I have loved Shin Hyun Bin in everything I've seen her in. She played my favorite character on Hospital Playlist and she was sooo fun as the villain in Reflection of You. BUT her soft-spoken delivery here is driving me crazy. It feels like an affectation. I guess she's a great actress because I've never seen her do anything like this before but I am suffering.

It's on Hulu in The US. Most Disney+ shows are.

It doesn't matter what the specifics are. It's a fact that the daughter has been supporting the household. Nothing we learn later will change that.

I'm surprised at the lack of sympathy for the daughter. She IS the head of the household - not the mom. The mom referred to her as such herself. She's supporting all three of them on her salary and she's sacrificing her health to do so. Ofc she'd be mad at her father who made that necessary in the first place. And the show needs somewhere to go. There'd be no story if everyone welcomed him back with open arms...

People who had no interest in this show watching just because of the hype then bashing it because it's not the kind of show they'd be interested in in the first place. Spare me your 'unique' perspective. If you weren't interested before the hype it's probably not for you.

It's not an "American" format. It's the Netflix format.

Regardless of absolutely everything else - the last five minutes of the series undercut and destroyed the emotional arcs that had been built throughout the entire story. Ending it that way was strange and unsatisfactory for me.

Not a fan. I would barely even call this a romance . The slow pacing was unbearable, the direction was downright schlocky, and I did not care about any of these characters enough to care how this whole academy shakedown worked out. Can't believe I made it to the end.

This was full of morally dubious characters and really fun twists. It's ultimately pretty bleak but I really enjoyed it. Too bad it's not easier to access. I watched on OneTouchTV and when the subtitles got iffy around episode 13, I supplemented with YouTube uploads. Worth it imho.

lol these comments are something else. glad ya'll set my expectations so low cuz i thought it was fine. not amazing, not awful. the FL had no personality whatsoever but i thought the rest of the characters worked well enough.
