It had an interesting premise, but FL's acting was too much for me, the office drama was unbearable and the intimacy…
I just dropped it after Ep 2. Really really really wanted this to be a good one as Rowoon is adorable, but I can't watch any more of this badly written drama.
In my opinion, she is a good actress…she did variety of characters, though some characters like Tale of nine…
How old are you? 5 years old? All bent out of shape because someone doesn't think an actress's performance was good. So bent out of shape you have to be nasty and rude. Go away, as you are obviously the "toxic" one.
🙏🙏 most of wed-thu dramas ratings are low too, and the latest jtbc in that time slot are same, i think korea…
The Good Bad Mother was in the same time slot and did incredibly well. Started out with higher ratings than this one then got massively increased ratings as new episodes came out. Have a feeling this one's ratings will go even worse as it isn't very good.
Hopefully this gets better as the first episode is average at best. I was bored stiff 20 minutes into it and struggled…
Agreed. It's disappointing so far. I'm a huge Rowoon fan but even he isn't saving this one for me. I watched the last half of Ep 1 on double speed and was still bored. I'll give Ep 2 a chance tho because of Rowoon but will dump it after if it doesn't improve. EDIT: Actually, I'm dropping it now. Life is too short to waste anymore time on this. Sad.
I don't understand taking a dislike to well written realistic characters. Somehow it doesn't make sense to me.…
Exactly. This drama would be so boring if every character was bland and "nice". What makes Eun Mi so interesting is she is flawed, just like we all are, and particularly flawed because of her horrible childhood and having to bring up a child while still a child herself.
Plus while some people think Eun Mi behaves badly, personally I think Jin Hee is the worst of the two women (although I love how she is written) as she is almost 30 years old and still acts like a spoiled brat with her mother, always telling her what to do/what not to do, and thinking everything should be the way SHE wants it to be both with her mother and in her job.
Why this drama is so good tho is the slightly toxic but ultimately loving relationship between the two woman and how they both behave because of their own particular life experiences.
It is also true to life as some parts of their relationship are like my own relationship with my own mother. I love her to death, she is an amazing mother, but sometimes her character flaws make me want to kill her :) and my character flaws do the same to her :). We also have the same screaming matches only to be back to 'normal' 5 minutes later :) Been this way my whole life and I'm in my 40s.
Loved Episode 10. I particularly love that Eun Mi never grows up. :) Her personality makes sense tho considering she was never allowed to be a proper teen as she spent her entire childhood being beaten up at home by an abusive father only to have her high school years ruined when she got pregnant and the fact of that pregnancy being spread all over her school by Jin Hong's sister. With the icing on the cake that Jin Hong's sister also gathered her friends to beat her up as well.
Amazing she turned out as well as she did and that she brought up a cool, responsible daughter while still a child herself.
People who left comments here, on this site, knew 100% their comments won't change the storyline but they still…
I said people leaving comments on MDL have ZERO impact on the drama or on the people who make it/act in it. I did NOT say you watching it/not watching it on a paid platform had no impact.
I agree with you about VIU tho. It's the worst streaming platform I've used. Dumped it after a month.
everybody here: we want to turn this into a steoretypical romcom and it's a failure if it isn't.
Yep. I notice a lot of MDL users are very narrow-minded when it comes to anything even slightly different.
Must be a rom com, must be centered on people under 30 and must not be too "Korean-humor centric" (meaning if THEY think what Koreans think is funny is "offensive", depending on what is so-called "offensive" for the woke crowd this month). If it does not feature all these, the drama is "bad". :)
I'm just so glad that all the petty people bitching on here about the characters, people who don't seem to understand anything about human relationships, have ZERO impact on the drama, its success, the actors or the crew. It's very successful in Korea and that's the only thing that matters to the people who made it. So keep bitching but you might as well realize NOBODY who matters cares. :)
Especially when you bitch on a podunk American site like MDL that has ZERO impact on any Korean drama or on the people who make them. Keep wasting your time though as your comments are funny to read :)
This is absolutely beautifully written -- characters, scenes and dialogue -- beautiful. Every character is fabulously…
My fave in a long time. Like you said well-written and with amazing characters. Love everything about it and shocked this seems to be the screenwriter's first produced script!?
I don't understand the negativity towards this, unless it's from people who don't understand how complicated human relationships can be? I love everything about this drama. Everything.
Good Lord that was a boring final episode. So boring, by the time he finally proposed I didn't even care. Glad it's over. Lee Junho deserved a better script. They both did.
as a FEMENIST, since that's the du jour statement, I can say skip it if you have blood pressure issues. I watched…
By Episode 10 I despised her. She never learned, was weak as wet paper, and whiny beyond belief. By the time it ended I liked the horrible husband more than I liked her :)

Sad to have that dull of a taste, IMO.
