WHY THE F can't Asian dramas show women who are TIRED of the parental bullsh!t?
WHY THE F can't Asian dramas show women that STAND UP for themselves when people around them - ESPECIALLY PARENTS - are screaming at them, telling them they need to be a certain way or act a certain way??
WHY THE F didn't Song Ran just POUND HER FIST on a table and tell her mother to SHUT UP???
I am SO ANGRY with this RELENTLESS drama trope that Asian women have to put up with that kind of crap throughout their lives.
NO. THEY. DON'T!!!!
They DO NOT have to be the "good daughter" if they don't want to.
They DO NOT have to marry if they won't want to.
They DO NOT have to live their lives according to the parents' wishes.
They DO NOT have to be bullied at work by a-hole bosses and bitchy co-workers.
WHEN THE F are Asian dramas going to join the 21st century?????
I personally, in real life, know a guy that exact thing happened to.
He was married for 19 years, then got divorced. He and his wife had two children. They were 18 and 17 at the time of the divorce.
He was alone for several years.
He met a guy - he had never been in a relationship with or even had a crush on another guy before - and they fell in love.
They were together for just under 5 years when his partner was diagnosed with cancer and died less than a year later.
He is now 62 years old and has been alone again for almost 8 years. He says he's not attracted to, or even thinks about, other guys. The only man he was ever attracted to and fell in love with was his late partner.
Somehow I missed this series. Just started watching it, and....while somewhat cute....it's got one ANNOYING AF quality that is hard to get past.
I don't understand when writers create characters that are DELIBERATELY written as stupid and clueless about reading a room, understanding social protocols in everyday situations such as the "first day at work" situation, etc.
The character of Cher is written that way ^^^^ and I almost didn't make it through the first episode. MY GOD his character is a huge turnoff.
From the first few seconds of the first episode, it started.
And it just got worse.
And then I got to the part with the employee meeting. Holy crap.
Cher (an intern at a gaming company) stands outside the meeting room, shouting "KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" because he can't be bothered to put down the bag of coffees he has brought and **actually** knock on the door.
Then he walks into the middle of the employee meeting, hands out the coffees to everyone, and interrupts the meeting by blurting something out. Then his "friend" (who helped him get the internship) silently mouths at him to leave.
Cher stands there IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEETING acting like he doesn't understand what his friend is trying to tell him, loudly blurting out "HUH???" and "WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" DURING THE MEETING.
It this just laziness on the part of the writers? They needed a clueless, ANNOYING AF character foil to the handsome-but-cold boss?
I honestly don't know if I even want to go on to the second episode, if it's just going to be like this. Geez.
they went all out with the overt advertisements on ep 8
MANY K-dramas and Thai dramas do that. It's annoying AF and stands out like a store thumb because they always have to repeat a short script for the product. And the script ALWAYS stands out as a obvious advertisement. It never fits into the scene seamlessly.
Question - is it possible that the girlfriend and the roommate are secretly seeing each other? They seem to be "at work" or "with a late client" or "away on business" or "staying with family" at the same time.
As others have said, "The Day I Loved You" is a hidden gem. It's a sweet, heartwrenching story, so be prepared to cry a few times. The ending is both sad and hopeful.
What gets me most about this series is the ACTING. It's SO natural and comfortable. I'm floored. Seriously, some of the best young actors I've ever seen.

It's annoying beyond description. EVERY freaking GMMTV production is like that.
PLEASE just let them speak NORMALLY.
But yes, it absolutely sounded like she was propositioning him.

"This coffee tablet gives me energy!"
"It quenches my thirst!"
UGH. I freaking hate it.
If you go back to that scene, you will recognize Dennis' eyes over the mask that was covering the lower half of his face.
Maybe I'm just imagining that.
I honestly don't know anything about the policies regarding placement of co-criminals in prisons. But it makes sense to keep them separated.
Still, we are talking about a work of fiction, so perhaps the writers sortof bent the rule about that.

Please keep writing and directing. I like that Bad to Bed was different. It was quite refreshing.
Also, please tell your actors that I think they did a great job and hope to see them in more projects.
