How is it so far? No spoilers because I'm waiting for it to finish airing before I start watching. In the beginning of episode 1 did they show a recap of season 1 to remind us what happened?

Your whole first paragraph just proves my point that the reason the second couple were preferred was because a plus sized below average female character managed to successfully attract a hot guy. The fact is if Ji Wan was thin and above average beautiful i guarantee they wouldn't have had anywhere near the amount of attention they are receiving. As i mentioned before, John and Ji Wan had no where near enough screen time to warrant a comparison to the main couple. I'm not explaining my self again, it's common sense.
If you watched it for romance... no comment.Also I can tell you're a serial skipper because the plot and political…
I actually didn't skip anything because there was so much going on i didn't want to miss anything important. It's simply just boring, not enough romance, too much politics and too much mystery. The balance isn't right. Maybe season 2 will be better. But that's why season 1 was boring because it has 2 parts, so it's such a long drama. Season 1 is getting to know everyone and building the story.

I've never been disrespectful, where did you ever get that idea? Infact it's you that commented against my opinion, and so i commented back. What development? One moment the hot guy likes the hot girl and then all of a sudden he likes the ugly girl, there was just not enough build up between them to show any development or any reason why he likes Ji Wan, and that's why i say it's purely to satisfy the majority of women that relate to Ji Wan. The leads being a better couple is indeed a fact, that's why they're the leads. If John and Ji Wan were better then they would've been the main leads. Now they can certainly go on and have their own drama and that would be a different story where they would have the best relationship, but for this drama subjectively or objectively the main leads relationship is far better than any other. People can have their own opinion but that doesn't change anything. It's like someone saying the world is flat, that's their opinion but that doesn't mean it's true. The fact is John and Ji Wan didn't have anywhere near enough screen time to warrant any comparison to the main leads.

It's not insulting at all, I'm just stating facts. Infact you believing it's insulting makes me think you believe Ji Wan isn't good enough for John. It's a fact that the majority of women will relate to Ji Wan than any other character, because those model like actresses that play these characters are only a small percentage of women considered above average beautiful. It's the same for men, all those actors in the game show are considered above average in terms of beauty. So that's why women prefer the relationship between John and Ji Wan because they dream of that for themselves.
He wasn't the only one with trauma, there's different types of trauma, hers comes from failed relationships, especially her recent one. She was hesitant to begin a new relationship and scared to begin one with the ML because of her long friendship with him. It was also mentioned in the drama that she at times thought there was something between them but circumstances and timing were off. The FL was very excited to be with him, she liked him so much she always tried to protect him from the media. Also their kiss scenes were amazing. There is no reason to see their relationship as worthless.
If John likes Ji Wan then why didn't he like her from the beginning? He wasn't physically attracted to her, otherwise he would've tried to spend time with her from the beginning. He can start liking her for her personality, but in a relationship that's not enough, you still need physical attraction. Also there just wasn't enough time between them to say they had a better relationship than the main couple. Maybe if they showed more scenes between them we could make an argument, but I know they were used to appeal to the many women who dream of this type of thing.
They both have good relationships for different reasons, but in no sensible objective way does the second couple have a better relationship than the main leads.

Because they had trauma and obstacles in their way. Not every relationship happens so easily, having those obstacles and overcoming them made them that much better. And beginning as friends for years before dating is perfectly fine, at least it shows they're not just together for lust or a quick fling. If anything John and Ji Wan is less compelling because even though a character such as John can go through character development i don't believe his preference in women changes. They're just a forced couple to appeal to the many women watching that relate to Ji Wan.

Easy to not be subjective, i do it all the time. There are plenty of objective reasons that a drama could be good/bad. The quality may be bad that there are parts of the drama that are near unwatchable, the story and writing make no sense...it is objectively a good or bad drama, and of course it's for our entertainment what else is it for? My opinion about the ML and FL is just a fact, they had more screen time, more interactions, more drama, more romance, they're the main leads of course they're going to be better than all other characters. You agree that the relationship between the leads is deeper, well that's part of the story that we watched and one of the reasons the leads are better, you can't just dismiss that because you prefer the second couple because you relate to Ji Wan. Maybe try watching the drama to have a better understanding before replying to my comment rather than watching some highlights on YouTube.
Much romance, how's the chemistry between the leads, any love triangles, happy ending?
You're right, Joy Of Life didn't have enough romance, Miss The Dragon was excellent 10/10, I just started watching Mr Bad, how was it? Much romance? Happy ending?
It's actually pretty good despite the negative comments. I see most people preferred the second couple John and Ji Wan over the ML and FL, but I disagree. The leads love story was great and way more interesting than John and Ji Wan that hardly had any screen time together. I think what's happening is the majority of viewers on MDL are female and relate to Ji Wan, and I understand but it shouldn't be viewed subjectively. John and Ji Wan's relationship just feels forced, it's like they decided to put a hot guy with a below average woman to appeal to the many women. However the main leads relationship runs much deeper, he's always been in love with her and she couldn't distinguish her feelings, and so circumstances and timing forced them to remain as friends. It's not one of my favourites but it's better than what most people are saying in these comments.
There is a SML but he's only in it briefly so it didn't bother me too much ^^
I'm on episode 8, so far it's good, i just witnessed their kiss. So i don't know why it's getting hate, maybe my view will change, but I'm liking it so far
