Finally watched the last episode of this drama after putting it off for months. It felt like reconnecting with an old lover. As far as character-driven dramas go, this is a hit for me. There is no redemption here. And for that I'm grateful.

There is no indifference here. You either really like it or really dislike it.

These blokes are not desperate enough for my liking. How are they so relaxed making a movie when their entire lives have been upended? It's only been a few weeks. Should take at least a year to achieve this much zen about their situation.

I'd have enjoyed another 10 episodes of Mark and Vee being angsty and sharing deep looks, easy. Worth the watch.

Ep 2 feels like a series of flashbacks that are somehow supposed to be consecutive events. A part of me gets what they're going for but they're leaving way too much to the viewers to figure out.

Very skippable for now. The dialogue is kinda weird though that could be from the translations. Can Ohm get a part where he isn't gloomy/brooding? I guess the apples falling are this BL's version of the uke tripping. At this rate Sun will die from food poisoning.

He really couldn't hold 4 apples in his hands?

Ooohhh essay-length comments and accusations of hateration. And only four episodes in. This is going to be fun.

Everyone is so nice in their choice of words for Min Woo. I guess this is such a feel-good drama that even the "bad guy" doesn't get properly cursed out.

They didn't get her medical records. They made deductions based on the timing of her absences. Hence the way WYW phrased the question.

We like to think the West is some bastion of human rights. It's not. Yes, human rights organisations and labour unions would be all over it and probably get enough people to boycott the company but it doesn't mean a judge would rule in their favour. Most likely the company would chose to settle before things gets out of hand.

Not punishing father and son would be going against ministers way more powerful than he is. They'd just kill him the way they killed his father. At least he was able to make sure Poong got away with his life.

Lol. My longest comment ever. See what this drama is doing to me.

I'm conflicted about Minwoo's character. He's an ass clearly but there seems to be something missing. Will wait a couple more episodes.

That kiss was hot as hell. Cute, yes but damn. My boy Jun Ho meeting WYW's first kiss with slightly open lips? Whoo.

Can't find any empathy for Tae Su. She's a bitch, plain and simple. Papa Bear has done nothing wrong. If making sure his genius daughter has the very best opportunity open to her means he has to not hold up his end of his bargain ("I'll make sure you never see us."), so be it.

Also, once you're part of a child coming into the world, all bets are off. That's why there are child support laws. She's lucky to have had 27 child-free years. She better suck it in and suck it up. Trying to emotionally blackmail the father into uprooting his child from everything she's ever known. Uh I'm so mad.

The case in ep 10 was the toughest by far. The clincher for me was from the transcript where it says that she tried to stop him and he got upset and wanted to cry and told her that it wasn't love. That's classic manipulation. Yes, her mother might have told her to say she was sexually assaulted to the police but that detail doesn't seem made up. He obviously approached her for her money, whatever his feelings became (I mean, he's done it before.) It follows that he'd put pressure on her to have sex.

The law is there to protect people who cannot protect themselves and it won't get it exactly right but on this one, I agree with the verdict. That's not to say the mother isn't sus and isn't contributing to her daughter's distress and self-harm. But then again doesn't becoming overprotective come with the territory sometimes? Urgh. It's hard to have a clear opinion based on what's shown in the drama tbh.

It's useful to remember that reality shows are edited for effect and reactions. And the guests are thrown into situations that the PDs think will elicit the most interest and "drama".

That said, I'm looking forward to the different pairings and how things ebb and flow before the show is over.

Sad to see the Commander go to jail but it's only right. He did take the kids without parental consent. What's sad is that he'll be pegged as a loon instead of finding some capacity in which he can work with kids because he's obviously really good at relating with them and could be helpful with their education without necessarily going into a classroom.

A perfect 10.
The cute matching outfits.
Attorney Jung being the best guy.

The kids' joy.

Love. Love. Love. It's impossible for anyone's negative opinion about this show to make a difference to me.

There will always be people who, once a show is popular, automatically try to find all it's faults and build those faults up in their minds to slap "overrated" on it. For them popular = overrated. But then MDL is about respecting everyone's opinions, yes? (Personally, I think they're haters.)

Finally got round to watching this and uh so beautiful. Moreso for the simplicity of the story. All the actors were on point and way too cute. I didn't recognise a single BL trope. Who knew two men could fall in love and be in a relationship and communicate? And the way they called each other "Baby" was so adorable. Love love love.

This started so well but kind of lost its spark around ep 9/10. Still a good watch and the end picks up a little.

At some point, we need to see characters who know they're in danger not walking down the fucking alley by themselves! Ugh.

Lmao.
