I agree. I think a lot of the comments seem to approach this as if it’s a serious piece of cinematic art making serious comments on society rather than a silly comedy built on over-exaggerated characters. It’s like complaining that the actors in Dumb and Dumber were stupid or bad male role models. Yes they were … it’s called humor.

I did find it incredible that she wouldn’t have picked up on the serial sexual harassment of that client. Not because she smart or educated, but because virtually all women are exposed to men and pick up very very quickly when someone is a creep.

It’s exaggeration for the sake of humor. Sometimes his awkward moments were hilarious despite the fact they were over the top.

I have actors and actresses I don’t like and I can’t really put a finger on why. I love the FLs acting in this, but I like silliness. Some might find it over the top.

Why bother. You didn’t really watch it, so what’s the point. Just drop it and you’d be happier.

I never saw her as dumb. In the first scene, she outsmarted the big shot lawyer getting into the apartment first and laying legal claim to it. How is that dumb?

Humor does depend on exaggeration quite a bit. The leads were awkward to the point of childishness to create humor. If it didn’t make you laugh, I can see that.

I think the idea was it’s supposed to be light humor. I found myself laughing out loud in almost every episode. If you didn’t find it humorous then I suppose it would be pretty boring.

To have chemistry they’d have have some scenes together. But apparently that would cut down on heartfelt and cute scenes with the second leads.

Watched this one for Zhong Rou Nan. I loved her zaniness in Love Is All. I’m only on episode 23, but so far I haven’t been disappointed. The rest of the cast are great too, particularly the best friend, the mom and some of the office crew, There are so many laugh out loud moments.

I’ll be honest, I’ve inky seen a few episodes in the middle while someone else was watching it. What I saw made me fully understand the comments on lack of chemistry. What I saw was a show that spent literally 95% of its time building chemistry between the female lead and second male lead and to a lesser extent between the male lead and second female lead. In particular between the female lead and second male lead we got all the camaraderie, friendship, sincerity, cuteness, teasing, heartfelt moments, hugs, dating, drinking, wanting to spend time together,, laughter and tears, longing and attention. How can you feel the female lead was meant to be with the male lead when they didn’t have any screen time together. More than that, you have to have them enjoy the company of each other to a deeper and more profound level than with the second leads. From what little I saw, it seemed like they were trying to give you all these great moments with the idea the female lead was doing them with the wrong guy, but instead it felt like the male lead was the wrong guy and her attraction to him merely theoretical.

I’m watching Only For Love now. It’s a Chinese Drama. The the narrative changes enough to make it hard to pin down, but ostensibly , the FL sets out to make the ML fall for her so she can get even because she mistakenly believes his niece stole her boyfriend. Trying to get even that way seems pretty morally grey to me. Aside from that, Vincenzo and The Fiery Priest, though neither are romantic in the least, but I Am Not A Robot is.

Morally grey characters are as old as storytelling. Few protagonists in Greek tragedies were remotely nice people. Heck even Odysseus returned home to butcher a room full of his wife’s suitors, with the help of the goddess Athena, who was all in for the carnage.

It is quite noticeable that many kdramas have characters that slant towards female audiences. In a few fairly popular ones, every single relationship problem is the man’s fault. I guess I’m not supposed to notice that. I have to admit though, it rarely dampens my enjoyment of them much. If it’s well written and well acted it’s all good.

However, whether male or female, there’s a point where the acts are so repugnant you loose the audience. People might be dropping this one because they don’t feel the FL deserves redemption.

I summed up my opinion below. The ending was a big nothing, as a result, the whole thing just kind of fizzled out at a point where you're expecting it to be at its most dramatic.

I nhavent seen the scene, but I concur. I see it all the time. Not everything is social commentary. Not every scene has to be politically correct or portray everything in a socially acceptable way, We are all individuals and the ability to poke fun at ourselves and not take ourselves so seriously should be treasured.

The FL was too bizarre of a mix for me. Uncannily astute about most things but hopelessly unaware of how her actions would be perceived when she needed to be the most careful. Usually women are quite good at reading men and how their actions might result in unwanted attention, yet this highly emotionally aware woman had no idea how dangerously wrong her actions could go. Especially after she’d experienced first hand how devastating one misstep could be. It was impossible to believe.

To top it all off it was an odd ending, focusing on the opponent at the end rather than either of the leads. Creating confusion about what was going on. It was all strangely rushed despite taking four episodes and oddly unsettling give how it all worked out. Somehow they managed to do all the wrong things in the end to turn a fairly decent concept into a less than stellar story.

This got more bizarre as it went in, like a fairy tale where nobody had any skepticism about the story they are being told. Who makes life changing decisions without asking … wait a minute, how does that even make sense.

Loved the show but hated the ending. Mostly because it wasn’t really an ending. Fewer loose ends were tied up at the end of the last episode than there were at the start. It made the whole season seem like just a setup for season 2. I wish they’d have had more of a sense of one chapter ending and the possibility of another starting. I guess I wouldn’t mind so much but often there isn’t a season 2 and if there is, it’s a long time off.

There’s nothing wrong with knowing it’s rediculous and liking it anyway. For example, there’s no way without functioning muscles (I.e. rotted ones) for zombies to move., but I still like zombie movies. I’m particularly enjoying My Undead Yokai Girlfriend despite the fact it’s utterly preposterous.

In general I’m inclined to agree. However, I also recognize tthat there is too much we don’t know about science and too many contradictions in quantum mechanics to make a definitive statement about the existence of a soul (although no generally accepted definition exist for a soul) so I try not to be too certain about matters that can’t easily be proven. Of course that means I also think your opinion is perfectly valid and can’t quarrel with the idea that a soul (whatever that is) and the physical body are indivisible.
