first - some leads are not great people, second - it's not Netflix original, lmao
That argument that it is not "netflix original" is such a SCAM. THIS DRAMA SHOWS ONLY ON NETFLIX So ... for al practical purposes, it is kinda the same as "netlix original"
I like that FL looks like a real woman, who eats food every day, not like a starving child from Africa, like her sister in this drama and many kdrama actresses.... No wonder S Korea has the lowest natality rate in the world... Female hormones work ONLY if there is at least 22% body fat... and of course mucles.... So I love seeing the healthy strong FL in this drama.
I also like that ML has muscles and has muscular legs too.... ... So many male actors are way too skinny and those pants are barely hanging on them... and then they cannot move and generally do not seem very energetic... more like the urban slow.... This ML moves so well and HAS a body, so the clothes look better on him too.
I think only gay men like skinny guys. I think straight women are men are more impressed with a guy who has muscles and a strong body and can *move* swiftly and elegantly
So what's up with S Korea and this fashion that women have to look like starving children from Africa and even men too.... ????
==== The minimum body fat required for essential survival functions in women is about 12% (classified as essential fat), while a percentage of around 17% is needed to start menstruation (menarche) and at least 22% for the maintenance of regular ovulatory cycles. THis statistics explains why there is so few babies in S Korea today, it is THE LOWEST natality rate in the world
I think it is ok to spend some episodes dealing with EH's dumbness and consenting to tests and saving her never seen twin ... etc.... for the purpose of EH growing up fast and also the drama exposing Director Ko's crimes.... ***** but I cannot imagine that EH would give her liver. Ms. Ko is super wealthy and can BUY that liver anywhere anytime. ****** Ji Won was a good friend of EH but not a great friend, he kept lying about his family and his disease and him not studying in the USA but being jailed in a "hospice" - JW LIED BC HE, UNDER HIS MOTHER, WAS TRAINING TO BECOME THE CEO TAKE OVER THE COMPANY. It is JW's fault never to tell the step father or nobody... and to blidly follow his mother... Sorry .. but... JW threw himself under the bus and EH is too frail to be donating even one drop of blood...
EH ACTRESS LOOKS TOO SKINNY LIKE A STARVING CHILD FROM AFRICA, SHE IS SO FRAIL NON-ENERGETIC LIFELESS **** HUMAN TOY **** THAT EVEN ONE DROP OF BLOOD FROM HER IS GONNA KILL HER... I cannot imagine the script asking her to donate a liver... !!!
If EH gives her liver, even if it is for her good old friend JW, I am dropping this drama as hopeless. There is no use in watching someone so dumb. It is not comical like Woman Who Swallowed the Sun where the stupidity of characters is unbeliavable and rather ... without any consequnce. It is really a cartoon where nothing bad happens anyways. When I feel like it, I can fast forward through episodes when I want to learn about how much humans can be stupid and it is SO STUPID that it is almost comical.
I am carefully watching this drama for the plot and acting, it HAS MEANINGFUL CONTENT and I rally like that, so if not that, I drop it. Giving EH's liver and jeopardizing LIFE of EH is just going too far with dumbness. It is not a cartoon anymore but a life threatening situation. Making EH "a good person" for doing that would be an utmost abuse. I hope the script writer didnt try that route. Maybe Korean audience would be impressed with that level of self sacrifice for the common good, but I doubt even that, it does not match the context of this drama...
. For her it's her hope to save her son so he can be the successor to the company. But there there are many variables…
Also EH will want to meet her twin brother... and.... SJ is already given the position of the VP, so JW has no chance of getting that job.. and he has no interest either...
Better not make ml give his liver in the name of love... I hate this kind of stupid love of risking health. That's…
I will scream if ML donating his liver or something like that is even suggested. ML is smart enough to just say no to that. I do hope that the script does not make FL so stupid that she gives her liver. Ms. Ko can buy the liver any time she wants. Why wait for a donor.... ???? The whole thing is just stupid.
omg EG to Seung Hui - "you are dealing with this alone??" HELLO EH YOU ARE DEALING WITH THIS ALONE. Why didnt EH talk with her adoptive mother? That is suuuuper dumb. WHy is EH so dumb to get tangled up instantly and in secret with a woman she knows only as a client and someone she brought home drunk once????? She never even saw that 'twin brother"..... AND THEN WE GET TO SEE FL DUMBED CONFUSED FACE ON THE SCREEN and then ML has to save her. *** the same old kdrama plot - the dumb naive pushover insecure damsel in distress who creates doodoo situations and a confident good guy who has to babysit her and save her. ***** Hello.
At least this drama is some improvement on the old ones, the sexism is lessening as EH is at least very competent professionally and as a family member, and she is self reflective and speaks up her mind, and ML is also made to be more considerate and complex and not 100% superman with no flaws like in the past dramas, so overall, it is somewhat better than it used to be, so that is good. Overall, this drama imo is very good, on its own. It is a very realistic portrayal of real life as it is today..
When you take it in the context of all asian dramas, where all of them create plot on the dumbness of FL and a capable ML saving her, then the big pattern shows extreme undervaluing of women.
In the drama world, that leads to very shallow and boring plot with very shallow and boring FL roles and super shallow and boring acting... i.e. female actresses are underutilized and boring to watch and the plot is too predictable cliche and too boring
the SOCIETY and also the dramaworld have a LONG way to go to overcome the inherent deep sexism and treating women as brainless incapable creatures, as if women are little naive children. Even if a woman is active in her actions and a villain, like in Graceful Liar, she is still a dumbo who gets saved by a guy. And only bc he wants to fuc@ her, to be blunt, his only reason is bc he "loves" her.
Western media is even worse, bc sexism is more camouflaged, under supposed "freedom" in promiscuity, looking like a Barbie doll with makeup and pushup bra, and being ... dumb. I have up on them long time ago. Nothing meaningful to see there. Kdramas at least are meaningful and show some deep issues with a certain warmth and positive solutions.
Hm Director Ko was relieved that EH did not remember her brother. Wow is Jin really her son... ??? or why is she so happy that EH does not remember....? what really happened back then...??? WHY is EH keeping bio mom secret from her adoptive mother? I am really upset about that... Bc ... that will be the end of EH if she does it.... **** The thing is, Director Ko is super wealthy adn CAN BUY A LIVER ANY TIME so why ask for EHs?? ****** EH is so tiny and frail... Also, SJ is doing a great job at work and already declared a VP so there is no use of trying to get sickly JW, who has no interest in running the company, to take over....
DIRECTOR KO IS A SUPER GREEDY CRIMINAL
On a positive note, imo SJ and SB are such a gorgeous pair, they are both so good looking, and they really really "match" visually and energetically. Since he is kicking, they are entering into a dark phase, but they should be a super fun pair bc she is so fun and he has a knack for going with it And YR-youngestBrother are a great pair too, and super fun. What YR's mom did to her - "you have no talent and cannot paint" is a spiritual murder.... The couple is going to enter into "physical murder" zone when Director Ko gets a whiff of them....
I didnt get that idea. Someone wrote they didnt like it and you said you wont watch it. To me, that means you are basing your decision on the opinion of one or two people who replied to you here. As an art lover, I am totally dumbfounded.
Watching ep 27 - Director Ko gets an Oscar for her DNA center performance... ! wow!!!! and then "I miss you although you are right in front of me... I just cannot get enough of looking at you...." cheesy comeon dates!!!! WHAT A SKILLED CRIMINAL!!!! she created that whole story and planned it so well - scamming FL with "being drunk" etc - everything sooooo carefully planned and masterfully acted out. A phenomenal con job. @Zango made me think by saying all coning was done in person, without any witnesses.... bc then it is easy to scam... .wow. Director Ko is a PROFESSIONAL SCAMMER
EH has no chance against this UNLESS she talks it over with others ... BUT WILL SHE??? so far she hid this even from her own mother.... what a dumbo....
She should talk it over or else she will lose her liver!!!! EH DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DIRECTOR KO EXCEPT FROM BEING HER EMPLOYEE AND SOMEONE WHO BRINGS HER HOME DRUNK.... I pray that EH connects the dots... But ... what if the little dumbo girl doesnt... ??? I like EH and do not want to see her hurt... I pray sje talks with someone!!!!
She should talk it over esp with SJ since that is his stepmother.... and also with her own mother bc she might have more info... and the orphanage... they should know too... AND THE DNA CENTER... bc Director Ko got her DNA registered just like one day before EH...
for people watching this - should i even start?!? is it worth it until now??? i don't wanna waste my time &…
I am not sure how you can make this decision based on one answer from someone here??? Why dont you watch at least one episode? Personally, I think this is a fantastic drama and i LOVE watching it, and I find the ML FL super interesting, they are a very realistic couple. And the two side couples are very fun to watch too. I think it is a great inter-generational, family drama, with the emphasis on young people figuring it out and parents and children reconciling, and there is even elderly. I think it is a VERY interesting lovely educational deep and useful drama.
SO WHO ARE YOU GOING TO LISTEN TO EXCEPT YOURSELF?
At this point, I want the bio mom to regret . I hope every single child of her leaves her and in the end she's…
Nah she doesnt care if kids leave her. She cares if she could not "sell" her kids. Her greatest punishment is to end up peninnless and yes alone, without any kids to sell to provide for herself. Sell YR to a rich husband, sell Ji Won to be the CEO,
and ... send WTOD to EH, her mom and brother so that nobody knows about them and how JW got there
Well little gliches.... YR does know she can draw....and does not want some random husband... JW cannot be the CEO since SJ decided to take over and SJ is #1 candidate....
Things should start blowing up in Director Ko's face..
Imagine if shes incompatible and now the mother has to find a random way to distance her self
That would be absolutely HILARIOUS! I vote for that! :) Yes, the doctor said they are a match but ... he can say it was a mistake LOL or something can happen LOL
I really want to see Director Ko back out in a jiffy LOL
But I think the story will go into exposing her and punishing her and STOPPING her for good. In that process, I really really really want EH to stay safe and with her entire liver.
I like EH :) I want her to keep her liver and to stay safe
