ML should distance himself after knowing that she is a married woman who kissed him and tried to sleep with him…
I had to reedit my comment. But anyways... I just watched that trailer. So SML has a crush on FL - of course that was kinda obvious since he let her practically live in his house with the kid...
or maybe it's trauma...? she was old enough to understand what was happening and have a memory of her mom leaving…
I think you are confusing trauma that happened in her childhood with her behavior as an adult who is unwilling to take responsibility and is CAUSING trauma to others Sorry but adults are supposed to take some action to improve things. Baby steps are ok but SOME steps must be taken and our FL is refusing to FL is not a child anymore
ML should distance himself after knowing that she is a married woman who kissed him and tried to sleep with him…
Yeah ML should and will distance himself after he sees her resume.... ... BUT he also should talk it over with her ... which apparently he did... good job... and then she lied to him LOL
but later in the preview I saw she said her marriage is a lie. He SHOULD have listened to her but the preview makes it look like he listened to nothing she said and caused major problems.
ML is an arrogant snotty spoiled brat with a very cold heart, no experience in love, no belief in love, totally…
Yeah. SFL is already crushing on SML just via his photos so she will investigate his current relationship status while trying to put herself into that picture as a "woman loved by SML" - and so she is gonna discover the existence of FL and ... that they are not married :) SFL will probably have to tell it to ML while they both try together to get out of their arranged marriage..... bc, based on previews, ML is NOT listening to FL at all
he looks great but he is so cold and confused and knows NOTHING about love and does not even believe in it...…
He dropped his dream girl without any thought as soon as his mother "sneezed" - so he is moma boy and is NOT ready to be in a relationship. He will hopefully grow in this drama bc kdramas ARE about personal growth.
But in real life, do NOT hold your breath waiting for him to grow up and learn about love. A man like him will probably never make it. When you see someone like him, RUN. Do not wait for him. If he makes it, great. But do not ever count on it. Bc chances are super high that it will never happen. He has to want it first, and most comfortable brats like him have no reason to even want it
"he said he would pay me back so i gave him YOUR savings" ????? is she insane, they better not gloss over…
Asian dramas portray women as dumb and bad with money and also very forgiving so ... all this is ... typical And tells us - the whole family is disfunctional - mom participated in this as a good thing, sister was marrying a rich man SO WHERE WAS FAMILY OF THAT NEWLYWED HUSBAND??? how come they didnt help?
The summary writeup on MDL Is totally off. Now shouting to everyone here: CAN SOMEONE REWRITE MDL SUMMARY PROPERLY? edited later: I saw the description on Netflix trailer. That plus some of the description here on MDL would make a good summary
Ah the rose loses its blush in ep 2 and we get to see how FL and ML *really* ARE as ppl... Very immature :) No knowledge about love. Bc .. they never had it :) They are both traumatized from their toxic families. In plain English - both ML and FL are ****messed up**** ML at least is functional at work. FL is 100% disfunctional except with the kid upstairs.
So... this is a show for troubled teenagers... About "learning about love and hormones".... and about learning that our parents are responsible for their decision and the messes they make / made ... and children are NEVER responsible for doing the parents' emotional work.... never responsible to keep bailing them out... children of any age are NOT responsible to create life for their parents. Read Mary Oliver's poem "Journey home" Only adult children are responsible to help financially and in terms of care
omg FL was rude to run out on ML - she should have shouted through the bathroom door while running out - HEY MY MOM IS SICK I HAVE TO RUN BYE. That is basic good manners... She acted so selfishly and childishly...
And he - trying to save his mom - and dad - like a dutiful little kid - wasting his life on saving a woozie "addict" mother.... . HIS MOM SHOULD SAVE HERSELF. He is NOT responsible to save her... His mom is essentially an addict and should learn to handle her life properly ON HER OWN. He can help .... but not sacrifice his life to do her work for her....
He is acting very very very childishly out of childhood trauma but he should grow up.. And he should pursue his dreams, like ... find the girl who made his heart alive. But they both were not ready yet :) And FL and her mom are also a disfunctional family.... FL's mom - getting a heart stroke and causing a mess - after she gave all her money etc. A very useless and bad mom too..... Recklessly irresponsible.
Where does one find a man like Kong Ji Hyeok? Asking for me
he looks great but he is so cold and confused and knows NOTHING about love and does not even believe in it... and he gave up his dream girl as soon as his mom "sneezed"..... and thus, he is NOT relationship material ... yet :) ANd in real life, most likely will never be. He has no reason to commit to anyone and he is moma son
Netflix has released some 5 mins of official clip, basically the gist of the entire drama......Man the misunderstanding…
ML is an arrogant snotty spoiled brat with a very cold heart, no experience in love, no belief in love, totally traumatized from his awful toxic family, with lots of money, smarts, business success, ability to cheat and get his way, ..... so... for ML to soften up and warm up to FL, it is mission impossible... HE HAS NO REASON TO..... Only in a drama it might work... In real life, he might find a dynamite kiss every week with a new chick.
Even without FL, ML defintely will want to get out of arranged marriage to SFL ... which is going to be a huuuuuge problem... bc of his dad who is ... a criminal :) and is gonna cheat to get his way... And his director sister, who is the bad kind too and in cahoots with their father... It is going to be battle... ...
And SFL is a really nice smart woman and she already fell in love with the photos of SML so their love is gonna take off fast and perhaps she can stop SFL marraige to ML, and marry SML instead - but she will have to work out a deal with her father to benefit ML's father. I am not sure if her father is gonna like that... I think SML ... might have feelings for FL beyond just neighborly sisterly, But she doesnt.
Nice palate cleanser after the tepid and lying FL in WYMM (I agree w all you said)
That's a good word: TEPID it perfectly describes it tepid and lying - perfect description for FL in WYMM Is surprises me to this day that any male would fall in love with such a little girl in an adult body. Maybe that's why... ? it is easy to control little girls
Your notes are amazing so thank you Have a few questions are there any good men in these dramas? as I was lookin…
I really cannot answer those questions for you. Why dont you watch the drama and decide? And yeah sure all those guys are very good looking and I am sure new guys will be good looking too.
i think it started with HIM stepping on her pride and mistreating her...
Imo Climbing over him in bathroom was one of those life-death situations for her as undercover reporter, so she really is not to be held responsible for that. He should be glad he was helping her fight corruption. Being rude while drunk is not soemthing we can hold her responsible for. She could have apologized later, sure. BUT SHOWING UP CLUELESS TO INTERVIEW HIM, THE MEGA STAR, IS A HUGE DOODOO... AND YEAH ENTIRELY HER FAULT. The positive side of it is that she taught him his place, tht he cannot do whatever he wants just bc he is a star LOL
She crushes his grandiose self image of a mega star... and objectively shows him his faults AND his strengths. He should be thankful that she keeps him honestly on his toes... while thinking he is amazing. In fact, she is good for him :) She is a lot better than any psychiatrist he could hire :) HE HAS TO BE HONEST WITH HER
So ... Oh yeah you are right, she went to interview him without knowing him.. she was super rude. But then he did not have to be so super rude back so many times. He could have GENTLY kicked her out. But he started a war just to show off in front of her like he is God himself.
And yeah, she is responsible for being a diva reporter too LOL I understand her thinking. There she was in the middle of the war zone.... and chasing corruption..... and now she has to deal with the spoiled whiney brat in a silk shawl. I would have disregarded him too as NOT IMPORTANT LOL On her scale of things, he is just a small speck.
Well then now we have two professional egoistical divas who have to somehow mesh up :) BUT she thinks he is an amazing actor, she totally adores him and believes in him, and she is actually helpful for him to be realistic about who he is and what he can do... She is not letting him walk all over her.
He still does not believe in her as a professional. THAT is rotten :) He saw reports from the war zone and he still thinks she is a hostess.... he is gonna have to fix that..
imagine dedicating this much time to writing a comment about a drama you clearly don't want to watch...
I said I highly appreciate the FL acting and am watching it for HER. She is absolutely phenomenal. It is a master actress. A cameleon who is REALLY that pesky grumpy immature reporter with a crush she doesnt know what to do with. I saw her in Glory where she was a PERFECT villain. I would say one of the best villains I have ever seen anywhere. Now she is a totally different person. I WANT TO WATCH HER ACTING.
So imo ML actor is spoiling the drama I really want to watch.
I just have to ff his whiney scenes... :) And perhaps he needs to hear the feedback. It would be a disaster that he goes again to do this in another drama.
ML really took a chance w My Mister (playing such a character). And in Gumiho, he was a fox. So he acted accordingly.…
The thing is, this ML actor can make his eyes and smile horrifyng if he wants to, or soft if he wants to..... so with a proper camouflage aka costuming, he CAN be a very complex character that is partially a villain or transitioning from a villain, which gives him a LOT more roles and really COMPLEX roles to pick from... . In My Adjushi, the loan shark was actually in love with the FL..... As a Gumiho/fox, ML was "of low character" to begin with, he was just a sex addict or a sexual poredator, translated into modern language, he was just using ppl for his own "fun" - and he transformed as he learned about care compassion and love.
modeling is a very competitive and vane field... so I am sure the actor has seen all kinds of vilanish things in that field... he can transfer that experience into his roles. And he does :)
An actor who did "a 100% evil guy" in One High School Heroes where he was a top of the gang that beats ppl and steals etc and then "100% righteous guy" trainer in Pump Up the Healthy Love was also amazing, going between a villain and a good guy, 180 degrees opposite, and I did not even recognize him LOL until someone mentioned the good trainer was the villain LOL and complained why isnt he a villan again.. I said hogwash. Let the dude have fun and make more money with different roles
The fascinating thing is that you can also get a great villain out of an actor with a baby innocent face, bc the contrast between the face and the actions is WOW effective, ike Vincenzo, or Hwang Ki Chan in Queen's House daily, where he was a criminal but also a great father and dedicated son brother and family man.
And then all villains camouflaged as ordinary little businessman, like thief murderer father ML in Low Life who is now ML in Dream Life of Mr Kim....

I love when actors have diverse roles. It is more fun for them to try out something new, and it is also more fun for us, to see different sides they can show.
