yeah that is why this drama exists :) it will appease some audience

Wow using clothing to convey drama messages...
In pink suit with padded wide shoulders, Dai Chi looked like a gangster boss of high caliber.... well the clothes showed his "wannabe" version

and now in simple gray pinned suits and gray t-shirts, he looks like a nasty and DUMB little boy - just like the chairman was saying... that conversation with the Chairman was a masterful scene

And.... Crystal is annoying mean person but the actress is doing an excellent job at it. Crystal seems to be a real person. That actress is PERFECT

I love how EA put the spoiled brat G into his place lmao
He pulled her leg once and shut her up with "when Lion roars, Bunny listens" and she obeyed ... said nothing.. . but then... she kept using it on him lmao
I love it. EA is written as a very smart and capable AND kind woman. I really like her character. She is written as a great leader

They made her into an engineering major and a tomboy lol to justify her strength to the audience that thinks all women are stupid

Enemies to lovers is possible only when two people are HONEST and they just have some misunderstanding, OR the "bad person" changes.

To be very clear about it, seems like you missed all signs of HJ's utter selfishness and that is something that you need to reflect upon yourself, why your judgment was blinded. .

I just watched ep 81 and who HJ is was 100% exposed.

So maybe your liking him is gonna be over :) HJ is NOT a nice person at all. I think where you got blinded is that you saw him doing the dog and pony show and all the tricks to "get" Chloe - but as soon as she disobeys or he sees he is not gonna get her, he turns around and BITES HER TO DEATH

HJ is a calculated predator, not someone in love, He NEVER EVER did anything for Chloe. He did it FOR HIMSELF. and you missed it. I think if you really figure this out, your whole life will change. There must be a reason from your real life that you were blind to this.

Whatever little good HJ had in him, he threw it away when he decided to dump MJ and steal Chloe. That THEFT out of SHEER GREED is something that tells you who HJ is - a very weak, immature, selfish person, selfish to the core

ok then go watch Our Happy Days. It is better drama overall, everything is better - plot, acting, music, camera, characters...

This drama is very westernized. Just faces are Korean - but super pale, so they even look white, pun intended

ok cool I am glad you cleared that misunderstanding

I suggest you READ more carefully. I never called the first wife mature lmao I very poitely called her immature :)

I said: "The "first wife" is more mature but certainly not enough."

Second wife and husband are SO in the red immature that practically anyone can be more mature than them... lmao

well it is not THAT simple lmao
There are different daily dramas. Anything form Kardashian-like anything-goes-ridiculous plot and really bad actors, all the way to decent ones. like Our Happy Days.
So if someone wants a QUALITY drama, they are entitled to have it

Ok the tally: cello mom is a spoiled brat ignoramus maximus, so immature and stupid. Her husband too lmao how did they find each other... That man is STUPID STUPID STUPID.... so selfish stupid.....
And their daughter as a consequence is a total CLUTZ incompetent STUPID snowflake. Abilities of a child. So super weak.
The "first wife" is more mature than mom-dad-daughter trio bc honestly anyone can be more mature and strong than them... but first wife is certainly not enough. She is such a bitter moron
One key problem is that the Daughter actress is really bad at acting. It is clear she is pretending to act. That is like nails on chalkboard, Also, she looks too old. She and her mom look like sisters, and she looks too old for her drama age

unfortunately it does happen like that in real life very often
most people are too weak to resist the temptation to dump it on someone else who is powerless, e.g. a child

Yes exactly! You said it in so few words what took me so long :)
I think one problem is that MJ is not shown as a man who wants Chloe. He is behaving more like her brother. THat is just too much self control - or just plain impotence and/or immaturity lmao and I wish that MJ melts and starts being conflicted about that.
HJ's desire to grab Chloe for himself definitely stems from the fact that the tom cat is after the lady cat. But he is truly a tom cat - he will jump on the lady cat while she fights him, and then leave her. He is not gonna be around FOR her. HJ is SELFISH to the core as you said. But he is HEALTHIER than MJ, who seems to suffer from .... totally not feeling that he is in a BODY, specifically, in an adult male body. MJ is like a child, or like a monk, or like an impotent old man - he treats Chloe like his beloved .... SISTER. That is one of the reasons we call him mama boy and one the reasons MJ character is sooo frustrating - he is so lacking depth, complexity and WIDTH, he is definitely not an adult man

i wrote this before I saw ep 81 and ep 81 proves everything I said here:

Chloe just doesnt like HJ.
MJ is giving her everything he got now - and she is right not to get meshed up with him since he IS a moma boy chaebol successor and also he left her 7 yrs ago,
yeah MJ is still a spoiled little boy in many ways,
BUT
he has real generosity. And his letting HJ have Chloe is a real generosity and real love. He is letting her live her life as SHE wants.That is the greatest love out there.
Also, notice, MJ is not tormented about loving Chloe. He just loves her and gives to her. That is true love.
Notice how HJ is tormented with his "love" i.e. OBSESSION for Chloe... So he is not feeling real love. He is just feeling infatuation. When you love someone, you do NOT feel like that. He wasnts to grab Chloe, to own her, etc and it is like a child trying to catch a butterfly to pin it into a box he keeps on his wall. HJ's feelings are not true love :) He is just a child.... experiencing a crush

Well I do agree that HJ would make for a better male partner since HJ is a lot hotter and trying to get into Chloe's pants, his feeling of being tortured is bc he wants something he cannot have.
On the other hand MJ behaves like a monk, ok Chloe, I feel nothing, go with that other guy. I totally understand why that is FRUSTRATING to you to watch. MJ is not behaving like a MAN. MJ is behaving like a head of a monastery saving his fellow nun.
Yup MJ is gonna have to wake up all that if he wants Chloe as his wife. MJ too is just like a child - in this case, child who has not expreienced any s.xuality. So yeah MJ is out of question as CHloe;s partner. MJ IS BEHAVING LIKE CHLOE'S BROTHER

So putting that aside.... let us just look at the quality of oure feeling of love.

HJ's efforts are ... mostly pafhetically ... fake..... Sure he is complacent now bc he is expecting soemthing. But how many times did Chloe catch him NOT caring at all.
HJ DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO REALLY CARE.
MJ KNOWS

MJ knows what love is. HJ right now is doing love, he is just TRYING TO KISS AS@ SO THAT HE CAN OWN CHLOE and there is a huge difference

I like HJ better as a drama character, he is a lot more fun - HJ actor is a really good actor and he has great lines, HJ reflects and says some really deep stuff. I love watching HJ. . But as a man to date and marry .... ... no way. HJ is too... toxic, confused, and immature, and he really does not know how to care. He is INSECURE
Also he is very .... dirty. He grabbed Chloe away from MJ. HJ does not have enough intergrity to be fully trusted.

MJ on the other hand, DOES have integrity and he is growing really fast to step on those who block the way. See what he is doing to YN... IT IS HIGHLY UNFORTUNATE THAT MJ ACTOR SU.CKS AT ACTING AND HE MADE MJ AS FLAT AS CARDBOARD. MJ is not fun to watch, period. "the real MJ" should have NOT been this boring and bland. IF the actor were better, you would see a lot more warm and expressive character, not just a mommy boy

So you need to go back to the basics and every time MJ or Chloe scolds HJ for not caring about Chloe, take notes. If you hate wathching MJ then to to scenes where Chloe just BURRIES HJ with criticism of his selfishness and lack of real care and concern for her.

HJ grew up without real love so he is confused
MJ was very much loved and also he loved others, so MJ is the way to go

IT IS TOO BAD MJ ACTOR IS NOT SO GOOD AT ACTING. If he were better, you would see what we are talking about a lot more quickly

And yeah the script is pathetic, MJ is not shown as a MAN but as a boy who wants to care for his sister Chloe

the mdl description sounds like a slice of real life from... Los Angeles lmao or NYC or Chicago or even San Francisco...

SO FUN READING THE COMMENTS! and the drama is - no thanks but thanks... Sayonara

Ah I need uri Dai Chi in those oversized pink suits not the regular gray suits... Bc... in those oversized pink suits he is strutting it, he is such a pompous show off and the suits really show it, he looks bigger than life, he looks like some some super big important crazy villain.... He looks so grandiose, so pretentious, so cocky, so out of it delulu..
The pink suits PERFECTLY match his inner feeling of false grandiosity...
So Las Vegas, Nevada lmao Or Holywood, Los Angeles lmao

He would be so cool in a role of some old fashioned gangster. The hat and all.

In a "normal" gray suit, he looks like some little insignificant nobody. Not the wannabe GREAT Dai Chi...

===On another note, I am so glad that YR's mom issue was resolved. YR actress acted it a lot better than Grandma actress, who was so cold

Chloe likes MJ. It is in her "bones" it is ingrained, and she CAN think revenge as much as she wants, but she is already 10000% with MJ
Chloe just has no feelings for HJ. He annoys her at worst and makes her pity him, at best. No love there whatsoever

chloe fees nothing for HJ except annoyance and occasional pity... it is what it is... HJ has one-sided crush. And... He does not REALLY love her.

MJ is a better partner bc he really sacrifices for her. HJ is not capable of going that far for Chloe. He does a lot but he clings to her like dead weight and never leaves her a choice
MJ is gentle and sensitive and giving.

HJ would be fun for some fun dates bc he is quite a charmer. MJ is as bland as cardboard. He is the old guy to spend time with in a rocking chair

Luctifer, he is perfect poker faced crazy psycho tfere.
And infamous Princess Hours... omg what a soap... but great as a fashion show and interior design show

thanks !

I watched ep 1, 2 and 30 of Five Fingers, it is such a toxic heavy drama, and I concluded that adult Ji Ho acttor is the problem, that actor cannot act a positive loving character. Just cannot. Wow. I think he had scandals with drugs and parties and it is kinda clear, that person really cannot find anything good inside him to show in acting. WOW
So all his acting anywhere is the same.
I think he was slightly more relaxed in Love Your Enemy but still he was too cold

I just checked Five Fingers, I love it!!!! the music is so nice in the drama :) I am a musician and a dancer too so I am greatly enjoying it. Seems like the chairwoman is a fashionista too so that's fun too :) Also, the story is kinda like my family story lmao Well... NOT lmao I just watched through the first 5 min s and he is already doing arson.. ML looks like ML from Princess Hours and Lucifer.. ??? Yup he is... And SML is another great actor, BEFORE he ruined his face with plastic surgery. I am glad I got to see the beautiful version of himself. After plastic surgery, e.g in Suspicious Partner, he looks like a frog, huge mouth and bulging eyes
Five Fingers is a drama full of toxic characters. I am not sure I will be able to stomach it. Min 15 and I already had enough of nasties

well give them some time to get to know each other, relax and get comfortable. Most likely, that dream kiss is gonna look rather lukewarm later...
Right now it is all new and unknown, they are nervous, not sure how much to trust, esp since he is her boss and she is the daughter of his lifelong mentor.... the potential for being harmed is very high!!!!!

so of course it is gonna be awkward at first as they are exploring a new uncharted territory. BUT AS SOON AS THEY REALIZE IT IS SAFE ....
