I found them finally on goplay

yes indeed LOL but ... this is dramaland of some not-so-skilled writer with very little life experience and lots of fantasy LOL
It is a fantasy to think that a man will be so devoted so instantly - however, it IS possible that it happens .... as ML is totally immature.
Also understand his position - he is in that isolated small place and finally found a woman he likes - and he can tell she likes him too - so close!!!!. We can tell he has not have much sex life since the kid... So ... He is like a stallion in heat at this point and DID get carried away following her, That is how the other dude got stuck to Ballerina...
It is like - either they bring a woman in or they stay spinsters forever... In Muchang, they have no chance to even find some one night bangers to let the steam off and I wonder they would even do stuff like that... so - they gotta work HARD to bring themselves a bride...

he is still a lot better parent than many :)

On your side, it is a fantasy to believe that "any man who has children and is involved in their care ends up protective of their child/s welfare" - omg so many fathers do NOT care at all.... !!!!! at all..... There are addict fathers, fathers who float in and out, molesting fathers, old school patriarchy distant fathers, just jerk careless fathers, etc etc etc. Even if "involved in care" they could be cold and distant and abusive.... Stop being naive about this. Think of father from Itewon class who taught his son to kill ... Or father from FLower of Evil who tried to recruit his son to kill... Or adoptive father from The Defects who molested his daughter.... Or manipulative scheming ceo ather from Love Scout.... Or boyfriend who beats up the girl in The Mother. Or what was that drama where the father drinks all the time and beats up the boy and brings women home and then his last woman is very sick and tries to run away with the little boy and dies?

In american movies, I will always remember that movie from Lousiana poverty, where father and very young daughter live together in this trash area, and she has nothing to eat bc he goes partying... She walks through trash looking for food, dressed only in her boots...
Or in foreign films... Black Cat White Cat scene where the son and father live together alone and son just made himself scrambled eggs and the father just takes it and starts eating, adn the son has to grab the plate away from the dad...

Or "loving fathers" who are abusive like in current kdrama Graceful Liar where father who is soooo in love with his daughter, tells her she is low life nobody and should never dream of becoming somebody, and he tries to manipulate her by trying suicide? Similar "loving father" in Young Lady and Gentleman...

So - dont be naive, men in care of children do NOT necessarily try to protect the child ...

My father was one of those, so I did not even notice that Mr ML was acting as a bad father LOL I was actually impressed by his excellent fatherhood and loving his kiddo in all scenes before that,,,,,,

So thanks to you, I noticed it now :) and learned something about myself :)

I hope that one day all of us have high expectations like you, and these high expectations based on personal experience

so in dramaland, you have to go with the flow and notice all the things that annoy you - and look at yoursel WHY that annoys you - and inform the writer by writing comments here...

FL? Maybe she had plastic. I was not paying attention and I saw her only in Glory so I cannot really tell.

BUT you cannot deny, she acts so differently than in let's say Glory. In Glory, she was a really super perfect villain. I was impressed. All the details with facial expressions and body language - she really was that psycho killer whore.

In this drama, she IS someone else. She really really really acts this political corruption reporter, a good fiesty girl. I am impressed with her acting. All the details in facial expressions and body language - she really is that reporter.

Seems like you missed to notice her acting.

your loss :) she really is an EXCELLENT actress

Hey wanna be art director, critic, God, and decider.

I have never seen ML actor before and just yesterday learned he is some hot shot actor from Sqid Games, which I havent watched bc I dont watch violent stuff.

So my eyes are fresh and neutral. And ... MY EYES SAY THAT ML LOOKS CUTE AND CHARMING AND SO WONDERFULLY LIGHT AND FUNNY.

I LIKE HIM.

AND IMO HE ADDS TO THE DRAMA
and I see that he is having lots of fun acting makjang, the ML character is actually his own life story

IF YOU SO HATE THAT ACTOR AND HAVE NOTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY ABOUT HIS ACTUAL ACTING IN THIS DRAMA AND YOU ARE JUST GOING TO HATEFULLY NITPICK ON HIS AGE,

THEN SAY IT ONCE AND THEN SHUT UP. DO YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE BEEN POSTING ABOUT HIS AGE IN LIKE TENS OF POSTS??? . JUST * S T O P * Or else ppl will block you.

i am glad there is progress LOL

or feminism LOL what do you know :) it is really sad when a woman, who is abused and SHOULD fight to get up, is actually helping to keep herself down

you should think before you speak

I love hometown Cha Cha Cha. How she nails him down to share his life... then dealing with some heavy topics like being gay... Like marriage issues... I think that series is very deep while very fun
There is absolutely nothing corny about it

that is why the kid's mom was some flukey and he is a single dad... who said he has experience with women or is mature enough? ??

But also - she is HIS WOMAN, in his mind, so he is protecting her. He is all set on marrying her

This is some "other" station ENA so the trolls from competition stations would probably try to shoot it down
I would say cdramas also try to shoot down kdramas too

It is on viki even for me in the boonies so I would be surprised that it wouldnt b there for you. ARE YOU SURE? you know how to tell? google "ms incognito viki" and then the link will come up

I agree

In real life, villains get away with a lot more :)

As for the romance - it is entirely necessary. The village life made the Bodyguard into a human being.... the little boy really touched her heart the most, and that enabled her to consider accepting the love of her life...... who MANY TIMES saved her life from her own stupidities like running alone into the dark to chase some killer dude, and also helped her to defend herself. He helped her stay alive. A love like his is what she NEVER had so it helped her to defrost her heart and grow as a person into a better human being.

The village life was helpful bc only such "pure" village souls like the little boy and his dad, used to peace and quiet and a close communuty and WARMTH AND SAFETY, could have had that level of trust and giving their hearts openly, to melt our FL who grew up beaten up and abused by her mom and lovers.

This is a thriller but also a healing transformative story and that makes it interesting, imo.

So... the romance is woven into the script as a vehicle for FL's character growth.

She got skillZ......only a fantastic actress is able to bring to life an entirely different character. She is just great
Think carefully about other actors who are able to act totally different characters although you might be able to recognize the actor. Same actor but totally different "person". Only a great actor can pull that off

Oh this is fun!!! that fantastic actress from the Glory - she is great here too.
I never saw the ML actor before but he is super charming, as a "real guy" without botoxed lips etc, and with a great smile and smiley eyes, in "typical" work clothes. In the initial print shop scenes.
But then later, as a spoiled diva actor in some fancy clothes, he just is NOT that charming. Interesting!!!!! I think it is his character that is not charming anymore, he has become grumpy tired. No smiling.

And I wish all the trolls to stop discussing who is older and younger. The ML and FL match and look about the same age so .... quit nitpicking on stupid irrelevant details. LET US FOCUS ON THE DRAMA ITSELF. Ep 1 looks very promising :) It looks like fun, with some deep questions

gosh I am tired of such trolls, they cause problems in like every drama, they focus on such trivia instead of focusing on the drama itself. I highly suspect the competition hires such trolls to shot a drama.

This drama has NO age problem. The actors LOOK the same age so that is it, discussion over.

Leaving a person with dementia wondering around alone and not changing the locks ...
leaving the kiddo unattended for days and maybe even years while in jail...
FL again rushing all alone into the dark to fight the villain ... HOW MANY TIMES HAS SHE DONE THAT SO FAR AND ALWAYS FAILED??????? in fact, she was almost killed every time, and then miraculously saved by ML or Balerina. Let's count: street lights, her house, .....

this kdrama needs a better script. A LOT better script. FL is written too rash and dumb

Ki Beom is such a perfect victim because he is so easy to swidle bc he is such a loser - does not communicate, is super aggressive, lies, is revengeful, is quite mean but dumb, is totally blind to his daughter and everything else, etc. Like trying to get to see Nan Suk on the spot, without any explanation. A total complete moron. Telling his own daugher that she is nobody and should keep living in mud. What a dumb ignorant and ultimatelu EVIL father to diminish his own child like that.

He has good points about what his daughter is doing but he has no impact.... and will never have an impact bc how he lives his life is totally unproductive... and how he wants his daughter to ALSO live a low life....
.... an entitled, super proud, super closed off, very dumb male .... with just very few wise moments...
and his reckless attitude COULD cost him his life bc he demands, disregards and meddles in complete oblivion.

It means what it says - it is a report about costuming, hairstyle and acting that makes totally different characters.
Where it leads for me and why I posted it is bc maybe the audience will point me out to some other actors that i did not see.

SO YOU ARE FREE TO START THINKING WHATEVER YOU WANT BASED ON MY REPORT :)

For example: a drama can have a super low budget if you have great actors and CREATIVITY.
Like Love From Another Star - alien Do Min is alien just bc he has shiny black hair perfectly combed to his eyes, and a stern poker face and barely minces his words. We all know he is an alien. There was just a very few dollars spent on special effects and smoke and mirrors - burning the lights and teleporting bottles like ... two times? and teleporting her once. I bet that cost like $100 total and was 10000% convincing. Think about that.

For example: criminals can easily hide with costuming and acting like that...

For example... how do those actors pull it off to act diferent people... ?

The cdrama The Bond is one of the very few cdramas I watched that I respect and like and admire to a great degree. Imo it lacks warmth and humor and LIGHTNESS AND CHARACTER GROWTH, it is clearly about bare survival in super harsh circumstances. So it is a drama full of events but devoid of substance. It just tells the story of people's lives... I think little sister's change is one of the very few if not the only transformational experience in that drama.

Little sister was a total fool but at the end, she kicked her husband out, she said she does not want to live with him. After years of slavery and abuse, he gave up on him and let him go. And she did it. That was a HUGE change. Absolutely HUGE. She became brave enough to free herself. yeah yeah it came after years of slavery to him, but .. it came. Finally.

If you think there was no change, then I do not know what to say. I am speechless.

I do not understand your idea of "change." If little sister kicking her husband out was not a change, then what would you consider change???

Imo Su Bin experienced a huge change. To me, her working so well in the shoe store was a huge surprise twist LOL and a huge change.... She didnt want to work. She wanted to just do youtuib and there she was, a stellar salesperson for a month, out of loyalty to SJ for helping her out. That is a huge change.

I did not think that Su Bin was responsible, caring, smart, etc at the beginning of the drama. Until working in the store, she was a spoiled selfish delusional brat.

Right now, I think she quialifies to be called a grown up. A young one, but a grown up. She is honest and hard working and caring and responsible. She self reflects, figures out her mistakes, and corrects them. She GROWS. And she follows her heart with certain courage. She expresses her affection. She nver hurts others. ANd she communicates clearly and honestly. She, to me, is a grown up now. And, I see how much she helped SJ to defrost and be more of himself, his real self. And, I see how much he helped her to become more mature and a very successful woman. They are good for each other. And they are in love, actually. So... I vote for their ship. It is a good one!

But - you have your opinion and I have mine. :) We discussed it, each of presented what we see, and we did not agree with each other and that's ok :) I am shall I say psychic intuitive empath, I see a LOT, and I like helping ppl to see more details in life, and I make $150/hr as a coach, theraoist/healer bc of my skills. I have to be careful to not share too much but only what ppl can take in. Profiling drama characters and discussing with others what they see is very helpful to me in my work to gain more experience and vision. I am here to learn. I want to see EVERYTHING. I am not convinced that you do too.

At this point, I said all I could say to you. I will end this conversation here because I think we reached the end. I really cannot discuss anymore with you because I am not learning anything from you and your views are totally murky to me, so to me, further conversation would be a waste of time. Please do not write to me anymore. Have a nice day :)
