This episode is right up my alley. No way there's going to be a happy ending after this. For anybody.

For a second I wondered if the meaning of the word had changed. A lot of arguments on MDL often come down to one party misunderstanding something. It can be tiring and confusing. You used concubinage right. The rest is projection and has nothing to do with your comment.

I'm loving this show so much. Finally got around to watching the first two eps and Shin Hyun-bin surprised me. I'm used to her taking on more melo characters but she's doing really well in a light-hearted role. I know the story will get heavy later.

If you're wondering whether to watch this or not, you need to approach it with an open mind else you'll certainly find a reason to dislike it especially if you've read some of the comments.

You make good points. And if she wasn't getting lead roles at all or getting cast in z-list dramas with z-list actors I'd be worried as well. Maybe it's because a lot of the best actors don't have many highly-rated dramas to their credit. They tend to choose what appeals to them professionally or choose to work with certain writers/directors over making "hit" dramas. And I honestly think this might be the case here. Whatever it is, I intend to keep rooting for her and enjoying her work.

Yo. I haven't even started this drama and only just checked who Shin Hyun Bin is (I suck at names). Saw a comment I related to and responded to it. Obsessed fanatic? Oddball? You're really pressed that an internet stranger judged you unworthy of their time based on your taste, aren't you?

That said, I agree that Shin Hyun-bin is talented. I disagree with the rest. Let's talk success for a second. She has had steady work and lead roles every year since Hospital Playlist. Her dramas might not be popular or highly rated but they're good dramas and she does a good job (subject to personal opinion 'cos some people think she can't act). Just last year she acted alongside one of the biggest stars in Korea. That's nothing to feel bad for. (Also check the other cast she's worked with.)

This current drama has barely started and you're already projecting failure for it. Why? Plus if you watched any of her interviews you'll know she gives a lot of thought to the roles she takes. There's no monstrous company throwing scripts at her and forcing her to act in them.

Not surprised the comments are mostly positive. Seems the people who hated the premise decided not to watch. Good.

A great way to filter who to have conversations with.

I don't know how much time an mc needs to have onscreen but I like the balance in this show. Their relationship is progressing nicely even though time seems to move faster when they're onscreen together. I also like all the other characters so it's fun to watch them.

I've grown to like Bah-mee as well now she's had some character development and isn't just Tae's shadow. Maybe I'm too generous but I don't dislike Judy or think she had some nefarious agenda. She likes Bah-mee and that comes through in how she treats her. I'd have preferred Bah-mee stay single for a while and figure herself out but what is youth if not a time to do everything and follow your heart rather than your brain?

Pah is just a pookie bear. Love him. I wonder what a love interest for him would have looked like.

Pie is the best girl. Now that she's loosened up, she's such a well-rounded character. And a sweetheart under that tough exterior.

Tae is still Tae but from the preview maybe we'll see some difference in the next episode.

Jane saying "if you want to know something just ask" to Ryan makes me laugh because when has anyone ever had the courage to ask their crush questions that would make them seem clingy or overbearing? Definitely not "overthinker" Ryan.

I'm enjoying this show a lot and can already tell I'll be rewatching it soon.

Same. I like the characters and it's nice to see their different stories.

I can write a paper on everything this BL did wrong but they pale beside one thing - the casting for the two couples. They were such a joy to watch especially Garfield and Benz. Will definitely rewatch this again at some point.

We'll see more of Judy next episode. At this point it's really not about her but the couple.

Worth the rating. Agree with most of the comments praising the drama. Just unsatisfied by the emperor's story arc. What was his motivation?

What now?

What is Natsume's deal?

I really wanted to like this but it's not working for me at all.

Oh I get you now. But you make it sound like he was upset because he had made an effort this one time. But he looked properly heartbroken to me. That's what I'm surprised at.

"He did not ask for any of that" is not a great defense for Tae. He accepted everything she gave and didn't complain. A better argument is that he indulged her because he likes her in the same way as she let him get away with bare minimum even though she needs a whole lot more.

Agree about her and Judy. They match each other's energy.

(She said she always had to remind him when talking to Pie.)

Grand gestures mean nothing when you don't do basic consistent gestures for your partner. Lol @ sandwich. What about all the times before she worried about him working too much and not eating and not getting enough sleep? All of that no longer matters?

She's always been the one to remind him of their anniversary. This time he's overworking and ignoring her in the days leading up to it. How's the poor girl supposed to interpret that? His intent means nothing if he doesn't put the feelings of the person he's doing all that for first.

psa: cheating is bad. 🙏

I can't stand it in romance dramas when one person hurts the other so blatantly and unnecessarily. I empathise with Rak but that whole stunt he pulled? Pure assery. "Oh I'm so scared to be in love with this person who has shown me that he'll put his life on the line for me and has never given me reason to doubt him so I'm going to stick it to him where I know it hurts the most." If you don't gtfoh.

Spoiled the finale for me tbh.

Actually shocked that Tae is this broken up. The relationship seemed like it was being powered by Ba-Mhee. I expected that he'd dump her at some point because of how clingy she is. It was nice to see her grow a personality separate from him but seeing how it's tied to another romantic situation girl needs to find her individuality. I honestly hope she's single by the end of the drama. Hopefully, she and Tae have a conversation and he learns to appreciate and be more proactive towards the person he loves and takes them less for granted.

Ignoring the ice-thin premise to awww over JJ and Methas. No awwing for Chef until he draws clear boundaries with lil miss thing.
