Yeah I was thinking, he is not quite ... typical. Yeah he suffers to go through a day... and imo a lot of that is bc he is not in a proper environment... It is like having a hedgehog in the middle of the city... he needs to live in some quieter Nature...

He is functional, a top professional, and allows himself to interact, to stand closely, look ppl in the eye, wisely respond with thought, to even be touched and willingly sends his deer cell to Yumi's cells... His body is in great shape, he talks, he interacts, he looks you in the eye and answers thoughtfully, he SMilES, he is fine... AND HE IS VERY AWARE OF SOCIAL NORMS in a very sophisticated way - remember his panels? he does try to be nice to others ... And he is extremely intelligent.

And... that list of "symptoms" is soooo ... cheesy :) made to intimidate ppl into social compliance, and very very delulu :)

It is a fact - all ppl are interested in their own stuff etc - and most people have ZERO intrest in other ppl's stuff - but 'socially acceptable" ppl are able to hide their selfishness and fake interest in others lmao

And there are rare ppl who do not care for social norms, are very observant, and appreciate justice... They are usually called HEALERS :)

AND MANY PPL HAVE FATIGUE AND EVEN DEPRESSION AFTER JUST ONE DAY AT WORK .... AND GET DEPLETED IN LOUD SHALLOW SOCIAL INTERACTIONS :) and just do not show it :) Bc they dont want to be socially ostacized based on those dumb one-sided lists :) And this guy too does not show it in public :) He hides it very well...
He is deep.... deeper than most ppl...

So I would call him DIFFERENT THAN MOST :) and also I would call him OUT OF PLACE - obviously how he lives his life is not how he should be living his life. He looks like someone who should buy a house in some village with a nice downtown with nice ppl where he can socialize when he wants to, and live quietly and happily while doing remote work, and once in a big while go out to the big city to do business.

Imo he has the personality and traits of someone who is fit to be am artist, a gardener, a nurse/caretaker for say premature babies, monk, or a healer, or some kind of "alternative" - it is just that he has not discovered meditation yet :) he is not a spiritual person yet so that's why he is not as happy as he could be.

The writer has no experience with such ppl and the audience certainly does not, so that's why he is left as is :) Preparing for his next lifetime in consciusly willingly deliberately pursuing enlightment :)

I think that ML from Sold Out on You is very mentally ill person bc he is so grumpy and mean all the time, so rude crude :)
but he too has his smiling moments - in a forest with mushrooms...

Not everyone is like you and wants to keep going from one man to another :)

Not everyone is like you and wants to keep going from one man to another :)

Not everyone is like you and wants to keep going from one man to another :)

The numbers speak up - Pursuit of Jade and Perfect Crown each have 50,000 viewers all swooming about the brain dead delulu plot and giving it super high ratings swooning about "pretty faces" - mostly "pretty boy faces" -
BASICALLY AUDIENCE THAT WANTS TO WATCH A FASHION SHOW WITH CLOSE UPS -

and this drama has only 15, 000 viewers and rating 8.1 at the middle.

Sold Out on You has 17,000 viewers and rating 7.8 by ep 3... and absolutely no complaints about the one-faced stiff cemented ML lmao and super sexist cliche plot bc ML has a pretty face :) and I still wonder, is that triangular shape natural... ? all new "pretty face boys and girls" have triangular faces like aliens.

The world is really collapsing, FAST VERYVERYVERY FAST - well actually I correct myself - THE WORLD STAYS WHERE IT ALWAYS WAS, INSTEAD OF IMPROVING - in this age of global sharing of information, you would think the world would have been better by now... but no. The delulu spreads even better.

Hwood and cdramas delulu wins
but now AI makes them even worse
So hopefully there is enough ppl who appreciate good live actors and good script and directing

BC AUDIENCE IS SHALLOW AND WANTS TO WATCH PERFECT CROWN AND CDRAMAS DELULU

Ok this is passive-aggressive distration. The point is NOT her acting.
THE POINT IS THAT PERFECT CROWN IS TRASH.
and you stand by it, defending it.

Bc the audience is SHALLOW and wants some fantasy fluff that makes them turn their brain off and get lost in the delulu land - basically, A DRAMA EQUIVALENT OF GETTING DRUNK OR DRUGGED :)

now with AI all the pretty face fluff dramas will be replaced with AI
and hopefully there is enough ppl who appreciate live good actors to keep that route going - but it is at this point a kinda lost cause bc the world is like 2006 movie Idiocracy or Equilibrium

He is a lone man on the bottom of a fire pit.... So ... will he manage to get out before he burns alive.. ?

This dude is it. He is too shy zipped up introvert and YuMi is too immature passive-aggressive entitled diva control freak,

HOWEVER, this dude IS HONEST AND RESPECTFUL AND CONSIDERATE, AND COMMUNICATES HONESTLY. Since he is the stronger person, he sets the tone for the relationship -

and YM is a more outgoing person and gives him invitations that overcome his shyness, and eventually gives him warmth and company nourishing for an introvert -

so their relationship is based on honesty and mutual equality, respect, and HONEST COMMUNICATION -

and it is just flowing forward, the ship is sailing smoothly

this dude is da green flag and he is staying :)

For how long? well ... although she is 10 yrs older, she can keep looking good for a long time, so this is probably the lifelong marriage for them.
Even if she decays and goes old before he does, he will be happy being by himself..... and in the worst case, can find another lady by then. I am NOT worried about it. These two have so much in common and really click so ... their ship is already out there on the big sea!!!!

it is too sad that this is so rushed and we will not get to see what their happy life together looks like.

It is bc very few really know what good relationships are like, so the writer was probably out of ideas OR finally found their true love and didnt have the time for webtoon LMAO

and also - ppl find interest in suffocating sad stories rather in a story of true love - which most find boring ....

PPL ARE ADDICTED TO PAIN

Bc S1 and S2 and start of S3 are all like that :) YuMi at the start of season 3 was hitting heavy on this dude, but she wasnt even aware of it, she was pricking him to give her LOTS of attention and getting irritated he wasnt -
esentially SHE DECIDED SHE WAS HERS AND EXPECTED UTMOST KISS AS@ING FROM HIM

and she got used to that "entitled princess" from BaBi and S1 dude in S2 coddling her

YUMI IS PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE GRAND DIVA ie she is slimey and confused

Common, look at what is right in front of you. This guy is perfect and everything is going well. There are no red flags like with S1, S2 guys (hot arrogant stud and slimey jump-the-ship even at the very start... )

I agree...
HJ actor has more skilZ. Although I am finding him entering the edge of his ability.

I think MJ actor is some kind of model or newbie who ventured into acting, bc he really lacks acting skills.
His acting is tiny bit better now but not nearly enough.
He is just too stiff and behaves like 18th century Victorian prude religious obedient robot good boy. I feel like i am watching some old English drama.

Imo it is not the script... For example, MJ's Aunt/Mom is also a very reserved character but ... she makes her role more "alive" and impactful bc she has more skillZ. Somehow under all that composed front, you feel a live warm human underneath

Even shorter:
Bon Appetit Your Majesty was a super hit bc the open-minded director let ML actor act as much as he wanted, with enthusiasm and energy. That Director was a genius who saw talent and let it shine.

Unlike the director here who is either a caked old geezer without any creativity OR playing it safe and staying commercial mainstream OR totally out of touch with the drama and the actors OR someone with $$$$ told him to make a cliche trash to sell -
in any case;

SOME MORON DIRECTOR IS KILLING THIS DRAMA BY FORCING ACTORS INTO CRINGE ACTING

And the audience is guilty bc Ep 1 was all about strong FL and the audience found it boring - bc audience is sexist as usual -

and audience was shallow as usual, finding villagers boring, finding old people boring, wanting young pretty faces as rich characters in a sleek urban setting - basically their own fantasy about themselves -

and the audience LIKED Ep 2, ML as cold and shut down and FL as stupidly dumb loser who keeps making mistakes and ML saves her - the cliche plot of all trash dramas - and it WORKS - Dynamite Kiss, etc are all such dinosaur cliche sexist trash dramas with huge following -

the Director served in ep 2 what he is sure will work and turned ep 2 into a cliche sexist obsolete trash-drama

the FL is an accomplished actress from a top drama Doubt and her performance in ep 1 of this drama is STELLAR. Whoever throws that talent away is a moron to the max

But the AUDIENCE is driving this drama into mediocrity at best
So the audience needs to cajole the director to let this drama go the way of Bon Appettit Your Majesty
ML actor is energetic, dynamic and I suspect he CAN act, FL actress is a masterful actress, and SML i am sure can act. SO IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A GREAT DRAMA

yes that was very strange... bc we think the Mom is the lost daughter of Chairman's wife...
Also, that Mom is abusive, her treatment of the kid was .... horrific, beating her up etc AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY

The actress in FL's mom role did many "good mom" characters in various dailies etc and I am sure she got bored, bc then she did "demented mom", then she did a "corporate villain" and then many "nasty mom" characters. This is roughly speaking.
I think this is the nastiest mom character of hers?

FL's mom here is REALLY NASTY EVIL. Taking FL's money, supporting her male child in such panic, always going for the external prestige, and finally those scenes of beating child FL.. wow that was soooo abusive.
I was wondering how the child actor was doing in those scenes... ??? I hope it was AI :)
How did FL's dad marry such a bad woman... ??? and stay with her??? FL dad is a spineless "nice" man, he never really "reformed" his wife and has absolutely no influence on her.

FL's brother's wife is another nasty woman and should be divorced asap. I think it is a good chance she is not gonna return the money and will just leave the kid and run away

SFL (that Min Ho has crush on) is fantastic to watch :) Such an interesting complex character and the actress is nailing it 100%. What will she do to keep her Guyeol? MH is pushing her too much to notice that G is gone already for another :) MH looks very cute but he is NOT a good guy .... she is correct to keep refusing him :) I dont even want to think what MH is capable of doing....

JM **says** "sorry BH" but I never felt for even one moment that she really means it. There was some crying in front of JH but that felt too little too shallow. Overall, I am sure that JM never truly loved BH and just kept using him as a servant.
She *is* going to miss him soon when she gets into a mess and nobody is helping her.

i 100% agree with you. JM is so dumb and needed help. and BH used that to come closer to her and enjoy the warmth of her family, but JM never really loved BH and was just using him. Indeed, I vote that BH ditch JM and find a good woman.
If JM is going to come to BH, it has to be after significant suffering and repenting her backstabbing him.
If it turns out like @TooEmotional is predicting based on previous BH's behaviors - BH keeps blindly serving JM no matter what she does - then BH would be a stupid enabler and JM would continue to grow into a bigger and bigger monster

but chairman is also using fakeSR as a pawn in his game. he first let her choose and allowed her to NOT marry JH but then he pushed the marriage onto her. Ok then later she said yes so now they are on the same page. But still, how will Chairman back "SR" out of this marriage?
ALSO, if that old fart knows all kinds of stuff, does he know where realSR is and who JH really is... ???
