And the audience - why so happy that Agent Kim beat up all those ppl?? It is totally useless. There is no difference whatsoever. The main villain is still the same. And even if agent Kim killed him, there are TONS of construction companies and developers and their lawyers and gvmt officials doing REALLY stupid shady stuff

Everything in this drama is real, and those construction and corporate giants tied into politicians and government EVERYWHERE are the real problem of this drama. Beating up one or two of them is like swatting one moskito in June in Alaska. NO DIFFERENCE

Also, how many "ordinary" parents and kids have been victimized ... ?

How does this audience plan to eradicate the root problem?

geez Min Ji is STUPID
totally useless dumb teenager, thanks to bad parenting. A complete and total MORON

the only female role is MJ, and she is DUMB as f.ck, and her father as well, catering to her AS IF she knows where her nose is

my fav scenes of agent Kim is he in knee-high pants and apron, and a big duster, cleaning the house. The pants are swell

undercover NIS agents were monitoring him, one was his neighbor laundrymat guy and the other was his colleague at work

Welll there is a whole art about recognizing the red flags that a drama is not it... and then the whole art when to drop a drama.. not too soon, before you are sure... and not too late, when it is too late... Kdramas usually have U-turns so I learned not to drop too early :) but sometimes waiting is too late... So I dont know what to say except that we learned how great actors can be misused to produce a very weak blah bland drama. Also we learn what it is that makes bad dramas. The plot, the way it is, is the classic kdrama sexism, where the plot is created by FL stupidity. Yeah, in year 2026, we got the same plot as in year ... 1800,,,, Someone is working desperately hard to uphold that idea that women are utterly stupid and irrational and need a calm smart man to guide them, to be their guardian, to tell them what to do and make sure they do the right thing. Sexism and nacism sound similar for a reason :) It is all about who has the power to control resources (and thus to control others)..
Kdramas have very few flaws but this staunch inherent sexism is THE persisting major fault

ok so far actually the plot makes sense, it is quite real. The Mama actresses both are great at their roles. The kids are not bad. The only problem is FL actress, she is very unskilled. I suggest she take some acting lessons ASAP

I dont speak Korean, and from my drama experience, I can recognize village accent from Busan....
So with my limited knowledge, I dont detect an accent in Prosecutor's speech, just unique pronunciation.
Perhaps he has a parent who has a different native language, or has lived abroad, or something like that; or he just speaks that way. But it is certainly unique pronunciation and it sounds interesting esp bc he is combining it with a deep hushed "important" voice. Very noir :)
Imo that voice is part of his "costuming" as a prosecutor and makes him seem real as a prosecutor. It is like he came out of old time English movie, like ..... Sherlock Holmes. I can see him wear one of those bowl hats, a butterfly tie, and a cane, and order his servants around :)

Honey it is the reality everywhere, even places where medical is supposedly free :) but patients have to bring gifts to get any attention.
In places where medical is not free, it is clear - the more you pay, the more you get, and if you canNOT pay, you die on the street, as simple as that, you do NOT get medical help.

I watched ep 1, 2 and started 3 and QUIT. I really loved watching the actors!!!! They are so HEALTHY looking!!!!! their complexion, hair, eyes, it all glows!!!! they are radiant!!!!

Unlike the modern actors who are super skinny, pale and tired.

And so the acting here is a lot more energetic and fun. So I watched, although I was not thrilled with the content.

The Chef is too much of a slave driver, and FL is too naive clutzy dumbish, and after a while I just could not take it and dropped out at the start of ep 3. I fast forwarded to ep 20 (the last ep) and fond that the Chef was still the arrogant slave driver. So I just dropped the drama. Sorry but

Just finished ep 1 - it is NOT true that Chef fired all female staff - he fired all women but one, who quit, and he also fired 2 men....
and everyone fired was 10000% guilty - one harassed the guests, one was kissing with her boyfriend in the storage, and FL was stupid enough to walk around with ice cubes and cauldron of oil near the grumpy screaming Chef

it is true that Chef did not want women in his kitchen and would have found ways to fire them. But it was not bc he was sexist. It was bc he had a very unhappy breakup with another cook at his previous work..... So he didnt want female cooks in his kitchen. The fun thing was that THAT woman got him the chef job lmao
Also... female cooks were causing him trouble as they all tried hitting on him.

Chef was not necessarily sexist, but just an arrogant jerk overall, a slave driver to all his workers, a control freak.

FL was fired for being dumb. She ran into Chef just as he was firing a kissing man and woman and yeah Chef pushed her away but it is her fault that she was there .

FL IS DUMB NAIVE AND CANNOT READ THE ROOM. ALSO LACKS COMMON SENSE
so that is actually "the greatest"sexism of this drama

I dislike eating in restaurants and this drama totally illustrates why
The food absorbs the energy of the cook and cooking environment
plus most ppl working in restaurants do not wash their hands

Kung Fu Panda was a cook in kdrama Pasta

well I didnt watch 50 but I tried to watch some and that's what I saw
A lot of them have a predator rather violently tempting his target

I liked Hee Su in class 2 bc it has emotional work and character development but then I got flamed for watching bland stuff

this drama has very ranchy nc in ... ep 4? was it
and I got flamed here by saying that

So - our STANDARDS OF REVIEW are different, you need to realize that

All the free ones will have it for sure See one below

i dropped Coffee Prince bc it is just Bl bait

if the drama is done right, healed Chloe will end up with whoever is the better man at the end AND the better man for her , and JR and PTH will be punished as both are serial killers

I dont think HJ will ever be the Chairman, and also it is certain that his birth secret will be revealed. There are no secrets in this world. So HJ and JR wil end up on the street. So my prediction is that HJ will just go mad with all that

and yeah Adelle will go back to previous owners, or at least to Aunt

if you find any drama with good dialogues plmk. Thanks! Bye until the next time

yeah that's possible
i'd like to see something new and different :)

the inherent flaw of cdramas is that they are filmed in China, so ... no satire, humor, pointing fingers, social order messages, etc etc etc are even possible, by definition. It is rare even in other Chinese-speaking territories, bc of intense social network and corruption.
From what I have seen, most cdramas have the feel of a military parade or one of those Chinese Circus shows like Yun Shen - a very serious pompous fake shallow show with lots of glitz and glamor and beautiful scenes that mean nothing. No meaningful dialogue, no character growth, no community collab and growth. Zero. Zilch. Nada. cdramas are essentially brainswashing

Compare that with kdramas, which are based on super fine sophisticated satire, warmth, compassion, tragicomedy, laughing at so many things but with very compassionate warm vibe and active individual and community attempts at fixing problems. But S Koreans live in a very different world. That is why kdramas are being genocided now :) and cdramas are pushed forth :)

But.... when Chinese make something good, once in a blue moon, they surpass everyone else. For example, 2016 movie Xuan Zhang from mainland China. And all Stephen Chow movies from Hong Kong
