I came to this drama for the two male leads. This angsty romance they're serving is too much of a distraction/annoyance to me. I dislike romance subplots that blind otherwise smart leads to the dangers they have to face because "love". Like, get your head in the game.

Nothing in the trailer, synopsis, tags, genre warned me else I wouldn't have started at all. Dropping this mid-Ep 3. Maybe I'll binge watch it in a few months if I can find the time.

Thanks!

What's up with Yifan's mother? I can't get a clear read on her. Is it delayed guilt?

Can you recommend some others that are this good?

You're asking a sensible question. You're not going to get an answer.

Guess a scooter never hit you before. :)

Nothing to say about ep 61. Just happy about the last scene in the preview.

How so? He's friendly and extroverted. That's about it. If anything, Daon was an ass to him. Whatever he did after was as a reaction to how Daon treated him.

After she gets mad and breaks shit I need Ha Na to lean into being the fake daughter, be acknowledged and accepted into the family register and adopt Eunchong.

And the part where she has unprotected sex with him KNOWING SHE'S ABOUT TO MARRY SOMEONE ELSE!!! My chest.

Just in case I lose this anger later on...that bitch. There is no justification for that kind of betrayal. Love is no excuse. Love would actually be the reason to not betray someone in such a viscerally gutting manner. Nobody says don't do your duty but at the very least don't treat the other person like dirt. And she had the effrontery to talk about "I would die if you're with another woman". Fucking hell. I'm hopping mad.

goodness. I'm glad someone saw that too. I kept thinking it was going to fall.

I'd not seen ep 4 when I made my comment. I was reacting more from ep 3 and to the idea that sleeping with someone else after his breakup made him a bad person. But I agree with him being problematic after watching ep 4.

I don't think the writer intended Ban Ju Yeon to be a character that's taken too seriously and that's why Choi Hyun Wook is the perfect casting imo despite actually looking too young for the role. If you don't fixate on that he's just right for an immature character who is acting out a child's version of what an adult/company executive should be. If he'd had a chance to explore his hobbies in a healthy way/environment, he'd me a completely different person. He pretty much had to raise himself and it shows.

Another interesting thing is that most of his gestures/speech patterns are very game/cartoon character coded. It's funny but also kinda sad. That said, I'm enjoying the character. I'm not feeling the romantic chemistry with the FL yet but the comedy when they're together is right up my alley. Hopefully the rest of the drama keeps the same tone and doesn't get too melancholy.

Mahn. K-dramas have given so many people an unrealistic pov about sex and purity culture in Korea. THEY DO BE HAVING SEX. And one-night stands. Casual sex. Hook-ups. Cheating. Like everywhere else in the world. And it's always been in their films and dramas. Maybe just not the ones that got popular in your ends of the world. Sex in dramas is not a new thing or "western" thing. The idea that sexual content in k-dramas in a westernisation thing is such a reductive argument. Infantile even.

That said. The 2ML did nothing wrong. Nothing about the man that was shown said he was mean or uncaring towards her. He spent time researching restaurants for their date. You can't date a nice guy and expect him to turn if off for everyone except you. It's only a problem where they don't have clear boundaries and the 2ML did. Everyone seems to have conveniently forgotten when someone came on to him and he told them he had a girlfriend.

Was kind of funny when the ex broke up with him and he was like okay and she got mad at him for not, idk, begging her? That he went on to have sex with the 2ML does not make him a bad guy. If he was still in a relationship he would have turned the request down. But he was at that moment a single man. There was sexual attraction and boom. I much prefer it to him being miserable and sad over the breakup.

But he did say no when someone asked for his number and told them he has a girlfriend.

Again with the westernisation because only westerners are sexual? Such a lazy argument. That you prefer and watch dramas where grown adults blush when holding hands doesn't mean Korea has not been making dramas with very sexual content for decades.

ps: Majority of k-dramas are not failing. That's a bloody lie. I'd do the data analysis and share but it's useless to do the work for someone who'd so blatantly lie to support their argument.

Getting a little frustrated with Yifan. I know I know. She's been through a lot but she's so quick to jump to the wrong conclusions while ignoring the evidence right in front of her nose. But I'm glad she went to the doctor finally.

I totally get Sang Yan not wanting to make a direct first move. Once bitten, twice shy. But it'll be nice to see him say something that lets Yifan know he's still into her. Of course then we'll have to deal with the possibility of Yifan running away. *deep deep sigh*

Her quickness to criticise Yifan because of the food burning was kinda annoying. Nobody asked her opinion. Other than that she seemed like a regular person.

Seen a few comments about how the Sang Yan from Hidden Love is seen from his sister's POV. And that completely makes sense. He likely hid his heartbreak and pain from his family. That side of him is now in focus because he's the lead and for the plot.
