I'm about to not watch this season after reading about the news of Onew.
Same. I was leaning towards watching it because I'm such a fan of season 1. But I'm not supporting a show with an actor who has sexually harassed someone. I feel bad for the AoY team and the rest of the cast, though.
So many great Eun Ho x Tae Woon scenes. But do you know what I loved the most? That Eun Ho and Sa Rang have made up <3 I'm just in love with their friendship and I hope we'll have more scenes with them together again!
I prefer Dan Ah over Ji Yoon: she can be a bitch and react aggressively but she does not pretend to be an angel…
Sure, crossdressing is not synonymous to gender identity. But do I think that Lee Dan Ah (especially as a character in a kdrama) who is already grossed out over someone crossdressing, that she's unprejudiced against transgender or transsexual people? No.
I myself might be prejudiced against Lee Dan Ah becaus of that. But unless the drama is showing me otherwise, that's going to stay my perception of her.

I'm taking quite the opposite view lol. Ji Yoon acts innocent but I feel she's not doing these kind of things with malicious intent. Although she hasn't apologized to Jin Gyu himself, to me she seems apologetic (for trampling over his car and for playing innocent and lying in the cafe) or at least she exactly knows that she's done wrong.
Whereas I'm disliking Dan Ah more and more. She's blackmailing someone because she thinks he's crossdressing. She thinks he's crazy and a psycho who should have been fired, which makes Dan Ah a transphobic character to me. Is the show indicating that her views are wrong or that she feels apologetic for blackmailing him? No. And sadly, I don't see that ever happening.
Now, in episode 3 she's kicks and screams at someone who just wanted to commit suicide and tells him to just go and die. I'm sooooo angry at that. How can you say this to someone when they are highly possible still very depressed? It doesn't matter if he's rich or whatever. Or if his explanation for being suicidal seems all whiny to her. We know that what he told her is not exactly the reason why he wanted to die. And she should know as well that there might be more behind it than just what he's telling her. Especially, if she's been in a similar desperate situation before. Again, with how she's acting she doesn't seem sorry at all and the drama shows no indication that that sort of behaviour is wrong.
And that honestly pisses me off.
Just finished the last 15 minutes. And this is why you never tell someone to commit suicide. Whether they seem…
I agree but for the same reason, I just can't with Dan Ah. She's not only blackmailing someone because she thinks he's crossdressing and thus declares that he's a psycho. No, she just flat out kicks and screams at someone who just wanted to commit suicide to just go an die. Like WTF.
I uploaded a video review of Strongest Deliveryman's first two episodes to YouTube (talking mainly about the characters and ships). In case anyone is interested, you can watch it here :) https://youtu.be/nqsHcidkql8
The first two episodes were really hard to take. Violence, abuse, bullying, sexual harassment... and all the kids…
That's right, what we've seen so far are high schoolers (mostly portrayed by actors 25+ years old). But there's something hinted at in episode 2 which makes me believe that even actual kids might suffer one way or another in this drama (maybe not explicitly shown but hinted at).
The first two episodes were really hard to take. Violence, abuse, bullying, sexual harassment... and all the kids that have to suffer from most of it. I need some kitten videos right now.

The first episode was great but after that... Something is missing, I'm loosing focus too often and not paying attention. I can't really empathize with the male lead, instead I'm more interested in the supporting characters. I will give it another two episodes and I hope we'll leave the past and get closer to the actual timeline because seeing 30-old dudes playing high schoolers is honestly distracting A LOT.
