I didn't respond to your comment though. Like I saw your comments and decided to add my two cents to someone I agree with. It was a deliberate decision. Cheers.

As someone watching the drama, it is annoying when Babe shows up to interfere. But you can also see that Rak is very dependent on her and they have that kind of relationship. You don't see Rak getting mad at her for interfering. Also this is supposed to be a fake relationship. Can't blame her for wanting to make sure they don't cross boundaries. I'm sure when she realises they're both in love, she'll step back.

Person is the same ethnic group as me. I'm so embarrassed for them.

Does it matter what exactly he is thought? It's a Joseon era drama. No body had time to be analysing and naming how they were different. Too busy trying to survive. Also "I cannot lie with women" for that time basically screams gay.

It's because of the saving the children plotline. But this one has a different element to it.

exhausting is quite right. they packed so much in.

I actually think the rating is honest and truly reflects the show. Everyone knows when a show's ratings are high either because of ship fandom or the actors' popularity (there's a place for that as well). I find that good quality BLs with substance mostly fall in the 7.8 to 8.3 range as long as there's no rate bombing.

omg yes. I was just thinking the same thing. He has some experience with being a theatre director, I think. It's wild that this is his first drama and it's so good.

The third act had me bawling and I am not a crier. Such a heartwarming movie.

A no-angst mostly feel-good drama. Loved it.

I'm loving this drama a lot. I enjoy their immature antics around each other. I think part of it is that their relationship never got to progress beyond childhood/teenage bickering. That's pretty much how they know how to deal with each other. But see how they both behave with the 2FL even though they're all childhood friends?

Plus the synopsis practically says "the 'Mad Dog' inside her that had been quietly sleeping begins to emerge again when she reunites with Seok Ji Won".

Yeah. But the payoff might not come until the last ep.

If you dislike it four eps in, I don't think it'll get better for you. The storytelling is not linear or tidy. The lack of "structure" is deliberate. They didn't just slap a bunch of scenes together randomly.

lmao at this advice.

You could have just said she looks like she's a transwoman but you're too much of a coward to say what you mean hence the dance with words.

And this is why transphobes are a stupid bunch because your ideas of femaleness is tied to the imperialist image of white, blond, blue-eyed, and dressed like a homemaker magazine. Any deviation from that is not woman enough. There's no pleasing you lot. Because all you saw was a face. A face for fuck's sakes. And the transphobia jumped out.

No offense meant here, of course. :)

They're actually not good for each other in the states they were. Both very broken and traumatised. They were pretty much just at the start of their healing journeys and to jump into a a relationship with each other would have been a disaster.

You must not be familiar with the sex/sensuality of Korean cinema. The idea that showing more sexual scenes in dramas is a "western" is reductive and frankly laughable. It's like saying Korean dramas have more swearing and smoking because of western influences when it's just a function of platform and censorship.

There are tons of k-dramas being released every year. Maybe look to platforms that still have those restrictions and you'll find what you like.

That's a separate issue. Still not cheating since she was already divorced from him and married to the new guy.

I think she lost weight for the role. It makes sense for the character to be waif-like given all she was going through.
