It is shady that the whole drama and this "wonderful dedicated man" is bc he knows her father so he must know her for a long time too...
I mean, IS THERE TRUE LOVE WITHOUT THE CHILDHOOD TROPE??

are S Koreans so dead set on making sure only childhood friends pair up in S Korea... ?
No wonder S Korea has globally lowest birth rate..

I love how she NICELY explained that to him and got rid of him lmao

this is not about a toxic relationship. They are both rather mature adults and there is no games between them

their relationship is relatively healthy, there are no games, and they are both rather solid adults

i also wanna know how ML broke up with ... Ms Choi, is that her name?

see my comment below. The super dumb SFL balances new smart FL

It is to balance off the fact that FL is a smart confident strong rather wise person - which could piss off the sexist audience that is totally addicted and used to having DUMB female characters -

so SFL was made dumber than usual bc FL is smarter than usual

in other words, a recycled pile of parts that worked elsewhere so hopefully they will work here too

There is one twist though, FL is a smart, confident, capable and strong person, and she has common sense. That is fresh.
Also, ML and FL are quite mature and have common sense, so their courtship is free of games and toxicity. That is fresh too.

And so it COULD piss off the usual sexist audience, so used to stupid dumb FL damsel in distress

the drama is too bland to piss off anyone
so hopefully ppl will watch it and not complain too much

This is the screenwriter of this drama, i.e. the screenwriter to avoid: Seo Hyun Joo

well to be fair we need to ask S Koreans, how bad is it when, **during the succession battle**, a chaebol is exposed to be in an affair with his brother's WIFE ... ?
To me that is not a big deal and seems like any other chaebol can hush those news with money, but... this is during succession battle... and... I am not S Korean :) I do not really understand

lmao they will NOT. This drama is about cockroaches and rats - JR and Chairman Brutus .... they do NOT die lmao

ok I will try to rewatch but that might be too many eps to check, am not sure I have that time. I will try

you can wait until it finishes airing and then binge it

BUT then you miss the time to reflect ... you miss all the discussions... ppl see what you dont see.. and vice versa... and it takes time for a good drama to be digested. There are so many details you will miss if you watch too fast

And, I hope you have something meaningful in your life to spend time on so that dramas are just the icing on the cake, not the cake itself

yeah lmao there is 50 more eps...

Oh thanks, I will have to rewatch that. I totally forgot about that. Do you know what episode it was in?

Please no lame excuses. I said what I said. Your last response is education to ppl who will read, and YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE to convey the message correctly and effectively and shut up the haters. Yes they CAN be shut up and you did it with your last post. Do NOT take long side routes that end nowhere.
The last post you did is the shortcut to cutting out all bs

Bye now, I am out of time to continue this discussion

I HAVE THE END OF THIS ZIONISTS et al vs. PALESTINE discussion. The core of that discussion is that "One of Main Characters of this drama was bombing Palestine and being complicit in genocide" and thus "the drama is a Zionist propaganda"

The facts are:
1. Agent Kim got out of all that kind of stuff. He was a nasty double agent and he got out.
THAT is the point of the drama.

Also, I dont know how you look at it, but it is clear that he was a paid serial killer. He was not anyone "nice" or "honorable" by any means. He was a double agent.

***** Mr Kim ex-assassin is still pretty much a serial killer in his heart. Almost totally shut down as a person. He can cook breakfast but he cannot relate to his daughter. THAT is the topic of this drama *****

2. He choose to leave his paid serial killer past because of his daughter, not bc of his personal political beliefs. He had no political agenda of his own, he was just a PION in a big machine and he used the system to kill for money.

3. AGENT KIM WAS ESSENTIALLY A PAID ASSASSIN. HE KILLED FOR WHOEVER GAVE HIM MOST MONEY. HE WAS A SERIAL KILLER UNDER PRETENSE OF THE LAW.

He worked for N Korea, then S Korea, then as a double agent, then.... HE IS A PAID CRIMINAL. Essentially he was a paid serial killer who was allowed by the law to kill.

yeah the stark reality of all special forces anywhere... Some are naive enough to think they are doing it for their country - and sometimes they even might.... but more often than not... they dont :( bc their commanders are corrupt and act for the sake of money only........ and some know they are just having a good time and/or making money killing people.

Agent Kim was nasty and greedy - he was a double agent. HE HAD NO POLITICAL BELONGING. he changed sides and killed for the sake of money.

So really the drama is not about Agent Kim's political beliefs and affiliations - he was affiliated with anyone who paid him -
the drama is about his PAID SERIAL KILLER HISTORY and HOW THAT MADE HIM TOTALLY UNABLE TO RELATE TO PPL, INCLUDING HIS OWN DAUGHTER

He was a double agent, for whoever paid him. ***** So you can say - his past was to be a paid assassin. ******
So in some ways, when a paid criminal double agent like that is bombing Palestine, it is actually showing what is really happening, what kind of trash is bombing Palestine just bc someone is paying them.

SO LET US PUT THE END TO THE MIDDLE EAST DISCUSSION

and LET US FOCUS ON AGENT KIM CHARACTER ARC -
HE IS AN EX SERIAL KILLER PAID ASSASSIN, i.e someone totally cold and cruel. And he left all that to raise his daughter. NOW HE IS A FATHER,
AND HE STILL HAS NO ABILITY TO RELATE TO PPL, EVEN TO HIS DAUGHTER. Bc he has not changed much internally. *** THAT is the point of this drama. How he will change internally to catch up with his new life as a loving caring father. ***

The drama is really about rehabing special forces... Agent Kim was a paid serial killer... cold cruel shut down... so cruel he genocided Palestinians.... so THAT person now is supposed to be loving caring father and HE HAS NO CLUE. He has a vague idea that cooking breakfast has something to do with it, but he is CLUELESS, he does not know what love looks like and behaves like.

MR KIM **** SUCKS **** AT BEING A FATHER, and he is not even a good enough agent nor a human being to think about his daughter's needs and protection - well she is not paying him lmao so he is NEGLIGENT towards his daughter.

So now his daughter could lose her life bc he failed as a parent esp as a parent with sufficient skills to protect his daughter - e.g put a tracker on her phone, follow her to find out what really goes on in school, act as her bodyguard, .....

and most importantly TALK WITH HIS DAUGHTER, establish a rapport, and BE A GOOD LOVING CARING TEAM WITH HIS DAUGHTER

***** Mr Kim ex-assassin is still pretty much a serial killer in his heart. Almost totally shut down as a person. He can cook breakfast but he cannot relate to his daughter. THAT is the topic of this drama *****

He got out of that. THAT is the point of the drama and you should mention that too.

He choose to leave that because of his daughter, not bc of his personal political beliefs. He had no political agenda of his own, he was just a PION in a big machine and he used the system to kill for money.

Essentially he was a serial killer who was allowed by the law to kill.

And he was nasty and greedy - he was a double agent. HE HAD NO POLITICAL BELONGING. He killed just for the sake of money.

So you can say - his past was to be a paid assassin.

So really it is not about his political beliefs but his CRIMINAL HISTORY

HE WAS A PAID ASSASSIN, FOR WHOEVER WOULD PAY HIM.
And he left all that to raise his daughter.

I dont think dictatorship of N Korea should have won
but surely S Korea is a lapdog of the USA

Well - who would dare piss off their biggest customer? :) Think business...
