Jeon So-nee is such a beautiful woman. If she hadn't been so pretty, I would have dropped this drama because her character was so annoying. She knew everything better, whenever somebody said something, she repeated it to make it look as if it had been her idea.

The female characters in this drama were incredibly stupid and unable to keep a secret. What annoyed me most was the fact that they claimed that they wanted to keep their true identity a secret but, in every other scene, they talked about it loudly as if there were no people who could overhear them through those paper walls.

All in all, it was a nice drama, albeit a bit draggy.

Yeah, I was surprised that he believed some magical letter a few minutes after his father told him the truth which he didn't believe. Everybody could forge such a letter.

Also, it is fairly unrealistic that the father kept this a secret for years and never corrected his son in all those decades. It was a fairly underwhelming secret.

In one of the episodes, the stepfather said to her mother that she brought Yoo-ra into the marriage, so we can assume that he knew that Yoo-ra wasn't his. Apparently, Yoo-ra and FL were the only ones who didn't know that.

But you are right. We don't know if the stepfather dropped her or if she's just too ashamed to reappear in front of him.

Best love story ever!!!! 😍😍😍

Maybe it is because FL was treated in a different way than you. There was a lot of subtle mental manipulation going on in her life. See, for example, the poisoning of her food. All those years, she believed that it was the housekeeper who tried to kill her.

In the other episodes, we see that her adoptive mother didn't treat her badly at first but rather ignored her. Later, when the mother learnt who she really is, she tried to get rid of FL but not in an obvious way. She's good at manipulating and gaslighting people. Otherwise, it would not have made any sense for the mother to ask FL if she could cover up for her in episode 1.

FL learnt about her mother's true thoughts and feelings at the end of episode 1.

This drama is for entertainment, not a biography. If we are honest, nobody likes violent people even if we understand their reasons. Nobody likes mental health issues even if we understand that those people are not necessarily "bad people". It is difficult to make a successful drama by copying the real life. And by successful, I mean that a significant number of people watch it, so the creators of a drama earn money. People often think that their life was so interesting and relevant that somebody should write a book or make a film about them but, actually, most people's lives are just boring.

By the way, I know maaaany people who put their parents or other people on a pedestral even though they are treated badly by those people on their pedestral. It's not like they are completely dumb but when it comes to their pedestrals, they are very willing to throw their brains out of the window and ignore everything that might destroy their illusion.

Being concerned about somebody's health isn't body shaming even though certain morbidly obese people try to make us believe that. PMY was slim in her past dramas but, at least, she looked healthy and pretty there. Knowing how toxic the film industry is, I am very concerned that people in power and "fans" encourage PMY to lose even more weight claiming that she would remain relevant then. They are liars. In my opinion, PMY should be popular for her acting skills, good choice of dramas and maybe also for her pretty face but definitely not for the mere ability to lose (or gain) an unhealthy amount of weight. If we are honest, all those dramas are not worth it to ruin anybody's health. Most people watch them and forget them almost immediately.

Watch it. If you hate it, drop it. If you enjoy it, binge watch it. :)

Lee Jung-hye is not FL's biological mother in this drama. She is Han Yoo-ra's and looks old enough to be her mom. Also, she looks like one of those plastic surgery addicted moms who are in a constant competition with their daughter to get compliments like "you could be sisters". I think she is old enough and has got the right face for this role.

She was already increadibly thin (almost a skeletton) in "Love in Contract". Claiming that she lost weight only for this drama is not quite correct.

I've just watched episode 1. The FL fighting against multiple men was sooooo ridiculous. Everybody was waiting for her doing her slow moves. I hope this will get better because everything else looked quite promising.

Ah, yes, what you wrote makes sense. I forgot that some potential viewers might get affected by MDL but I still doubt that "we" matter so much. On Viki, basically all dramas have at least a rating of 9. Only the reeeeeally bad ones have a rating of less than 9.

People follow everybody on social media who appeared on screen. See, for instance, Netflix actors. Nobodys become famous overnight (and quickly become irrelevant again). Also, Cha Eun-woo is an idol with a whole marketing team behind him. They'll ensure that his dramas get watched.

For this reason, I am comfortable believing that my personal opinion and rating on this platform does not affect any actor's career. Otherwise, I would not rate anything because it would be too much responsibility for my taste.

I doubt that the rating on MDL will affect the careers of the actors and writers. Watching the drama on legal platforms will help because those are the places that generate money for them.

I agree. In his other dramas I watched, he was like a kindergarden boy pressing his lips on the FL's lips, and those scenes were rather ... underwhelming. I was reeeeally surprised that he put so much effort into this scene. For the first time, I forgot the actor and saw the character desiring the FL. I hope he'll keep working on his acting because it would be great to see him BEING a character instead of just being Cha Eun-woo looking good on screen.

Huh? I thought FL's acting was appropriate. I mean, up til this episode, the ML had been rather shy and distant, and suddenly he was not only proactive but kissed "like a real man". FL (the character) was certainly surprised by his ... steamy desires.

I didn't mean that going after the FL would be more interesting but more realistic. Imagine you were a streamer and wanted/needed to earn money, and you heard some absurd story about someone who turns into a dog at midnight. And you could be the first one showing that to the world. You'd instantly become famous and could sell licenses for a looot of money. Would you focus on some teachers nobody on the internet is interested in?

That's why I lost interest in that character. He's unrealistic in the most uncreative way ever. He doesn't add anything to the story. It would have been interesting if he had been a real danger to FL and her family but he was, like you wrote, just an insecure loser.

Regarding biology, you are right. There are exceptions. They are rare but they exist.

As a female who did judo and jiu jitsu for several years, I can assure you that there was a time when I was the one who won all battles against the males who were my age. And suddenly, around the age of 11/12, my fellow male judokas not only were taller but also waaaay stronger than I. They knew the same "moves" as I.

Nevertheless, I was still able to "fight" against unexperienced males and win because those were "fights for fun" that didn't have the goal to hurt anybody. There were rules.

Many people do not know that the real life is unfair, which is the reason why every intelligent "martial artist" knows that the moves he learnt in the gym are not the same moves as "in the street". That's why the intelligent people flee if they see a knife in the opponent's hand and don't have a pistol to shoot the opponent. The knife usually wins at short distances.

The FL in this drama is slim. She does not have any muscles to win a fight against that guy. She would have needed a weapon. As a cute dog, he could have kicked her away. That's what I would have done if some little dog attacked me.

FL as a dog biting the bully would have been fun for some people but her being a cute little dog defeating the bully would not have been realistic, not even within this story.

Well, yeah, his character was fairly underwhelming. I felt this way because his only motivation seemed to be some guy he had bullied several years ago. Not that a human turned into a dog. No, no, the rather boring teacher guy was way more interesting to him.

However, I doubt that FL would have been able to beat him. Most Korean men around that age serve(d) in the army where they get quite a few muscles. Biological women are usually much weaker than the average biological man. That's a fact even though some people claim otherwise for the sake of their respective ideology.

Which villain do you mean? The livestream guy?

No, you didn't just write that you found her gums distracting. You gave irresponsible and unsolicited medical advice. As a dentist.

Let me quote you, so I don't need to translate things my own way:
- "she needs to have a gingivectomy, her gums dont look that healthy"
- "its just cause I am a dentist"

Those sentences are fairly simple and don't leave much room for interpretation, so I doubt that I misunderstood something.

I didn't enjoy episode 1 much either because the "nice FL" was sooooo annoying. I don't really know why I continued with episode 2 but I'm really glad I did. I binge watched 6 episodes. The only thing I regret is that I discovered this drama too early. Now I have to wait for new episodes instead of being able to binge watch the entire drama. :(

Most of us seem to be surprised by how good this drama is. :)

I cannot really point the finger to the reason but I think one reason is that we finally get to see a healthy relationship between two grown-ups who behave like grown-ups instead of "chaste virgins". They care about each other, communicate with each other, and don't exaggerate things like in a typical romance drama to show their love. ML and FL also have their own lives and hobbies and don't revolve around each other 24/7. (Obviously, I'm really invested in this couple. XD)

And the story is pretty straightforward.
