I'm not aggressive, it's not in my nature, but I do admit I'm a bit mischievous and playful, and maybe I went too far. My sincerest apologies, I promise I won't mention Digimon or Pokémon to you. 🥰

It seems my comment struck a chord 😜

Let me guess, your favorite series are Digimon and Pokémon. 🤗

They're the kind of people who hate lies but support piracy by watching this stuff on illegal sites...Oops, right, they all have subscriptions...😝, sorry, that's my mistake. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Underrated comment.

Impossible. People expect tragic dramas to be free of tragedy, crime dramas to have less blood and violence, lighthearted comedies to be more serious and less innocent, fantasy dramas to have more realistic screenwriters... ad infinitum. 🙄

Ep 10. When the fight starts with the nail gun...and then they attack him on the floor, trying to drive a burning stick into his side, the fight continues and the gang leader says to him: What are you? A carpenter or something?...Very good comment, someone who saw beyond...this is similar to "Squid Game" or "Death Race". 😅

Am I perhaps mistaken, is the millionaire's assistant or housekeeper Seung Hui's mother? They look very similar.

I don't live in South Korea, so my information might not be 100% accurate. In Korea, Samsung and LG offer support services at official stores where, if you own the phone and verify your identity, they can locate or block it. However, you need a police report before they can do so, which is why the salesperson asked about the police. The stores also help you use "SmartThings Find" if you have an account, which I believe is what they did—activating location tracking because the man is elderly and doesn't know how to use mobile apps. He also explained this to the investigating officer earlier. Sometimes, to move the plot along, they "skip" some legal steps and even time to avoid making the drama tedious. What caught my attention was that the store was promoting the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra...

Anyway, someone wrote to you that "You look better when you're quiet." Hahahaha. I've given up on finding out anything interesting about the dramas on this site and I just read the comments to have a laugh. Seriously, I can't, hahaha. Supposedly it started with having respect for men's feelings... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I imagine Ji Chang Wook and Kim You Jung recreating the Pulp Fiction dance scene one more time... when they both realize they're dominating forum comments and ratings for the dramas they're currently starring in. By the way, this site is crazy with drama ratings. I think it's best to use your own judgment and just enjoy.

What you suggested was much better.

It's a pleasant and easy-to-watch drama if you enjoy this genre. The ending was good; I liked it. The music wasn't the best part of the drama for me, and some of the sets weren't great either—that's what I'd say if I had to offer any criticism. The screen time for the secondary characters was also...a little overwhelming, but not a major issue. Perhaps it was because I was a bit tired by episode 40; if the princess and Han Mei had kept talking, I would have jumped into the drama myself and thrown them off the mountain...it was just too much for me. But I insist, I was very tired from work, so that might be the reason.

Ok, the drama is fantastic, I love it. Lots of action and adrenaline. 😎 To be honest, I'm totally biased towards JCW... even if he were competing in the wheelchair category, I'd still say the action and entertainment are top-notch. 🤭

The topic of age would be a long and exhausting one to discuss. Women in the entertainment industry suffer intensely from age discrimination and are conditioned by many factors. One of those factors is that no sponsor of anything, cosmetics or mattresses, for that matter, wants to see their products associated with women's wrinkles or expression lines. "Decadence," "neglect," "obsolescence," among many other things, are what they think wrinkles represent. So we notice the lack of expression in "older" women in most productions, and they specialize in mastering their gaze to reflect their acting, something Joe Chen does magnificently. This lead actress in "Fated to Love You" is wonderful. Victoria Song has a restrained and elegant style, yet she seems inexperienced (I don't think so) or perhaps she wasn't being directed well during filming, and her gaze seems to drift off into space. I'm no expert, but... for a slow-paced drama, the sudden, rapid cuts between shots filmed at different times (different lighting, different focal points) disrupt the visual continuity: the relative gaze no longer matches. Anyway, all this rambling is to say that the actors filmed some, or almost all, of the scenes separately and then edited them together. 😂 For now, I'll continue watching this story.

You have to keep in mind that the drama isn't about a grieving woman; it's a critique of Korean society. It's true that she suffered greatly, but the drama doesn't seek to justify her actions. Instead, it aims to help us understand how such a violent and competitive society can transform pain into callousness. She isn't merely surviving; she's repeating the cruelty that shaped her. She isn't surviving in the literal sense; she's adapting... And that's precisely what the drama denounces: success without empathy is akin to madness.

You're right about her acting, and I'm not expert enough to pinpoint the problem... whether it's the direction, her poor performance in the scenes with the ML, or if she's just as uncomfortable with the sets as I am. The sunset scene was exactly as you described, the fall off the cliff into a small pool of water surrounded by plastic plants from AliExpress and so many flowers impossible to find in the forest, recreating a romantic confession scene... Or perhaps it's the script's theme: marrying a dead man to become a widow and having to divorce the entire family because she's in love with her younger brother-in-law... I'd probably act with a blank stare too, just to avoid rolling my eyes. 🙄

In short, a tragic and dark drama that follows the actions of a sociopathic woman—that's all there is to it. There's no character development, nor will there be in the upcoming episodes; we'll only see how she acquires power to continue doing the only thing she knows or can do, but on a larger scale, obviously. Do you enjoy watching a human being do harm because they can't distinguish between right and wrong? This drama is for you. Do you like a drama without redemption, consequences, etc.? This drama is for you. The cast and cinematography are excellent, and the production is ambitious; they've poured everything into this project. It's worth watching if you want to see this kind of genre, if you're not wasting time waiting for something that's not going to happen and criticizing why this or that didn't happen. The original story is a critique of Korean society and the entertainment industry. As an aside, the casting director said, "Anyone with the last name Kim, come with me."

Three concepts: bandwagon effect, groupthink, and social conformity...you can't go against that. LOL.

Seeing the male lead with a Chupa-Chups has definitely made me want to watch this drama.
