Crazy to see so many of you getting triggered by props, special makeup and fat suits. If I didn't look it up I wouldn't even have known. That's how GOOD it was executed. If anything, I was thrilled to see plus-size representation in a kdrama for once. Fat suit or not, Bok Dong Hee delivered sass, attitude, fashion and style. She was perfect from start to finish—only, it took her much longer to come to that realization herself.
His ex-girlfriend is there, she’s not annoying but still has feelings for him. Then there’s another girl in…
The ex-girlfriend literally serves only one purpose: she is inserted just around that moment where the audience starts pondering, "why is this guy 34 and single, has he never been with/dated other women, what's his damage?" And the other girl is only there to give him the "look, the other girls around him have been/are chasing him, too, but he's only got one person in his heart"—card.
Just finished this. It had me in tears by the end of it. I loved the message this drama was conveying, lots of heart-warming moments and gut-wrenchingly sad real life issues. In Seo Mok Ha's words, whatever you go through, hang in there for just 5 more minutes, the sun will shine on you.
I'm only at ep 3 and I'm LOVING this! The sismance moments have me tearing up. We really need more dramas like these where women help uplift other women, instead of seeing each other as threats.
I don't know why when an Asian drama, series or movie has a 18+ certification, some people are quick to say some…
Sorry, I'm only at ep 3 and I can already tell you that this has got a whole lot of unnecessary violence and crude behaviour that are there for no other reason than to add shock value. Unless there's going to be some sort of a take home message at the end or real justice for the victims, like in The Glory, it really isn't worth watching. If you like suffering for no reason, turn on the news.
still not a justification for his actions toward others though, he even affected his only son, he was mad in love…
Thank you! I was just about to comment the exact same, she was her best friend who was by her side for a longer time than he was. She lost someone she held dear as well and never got to mourn her loss. The way he took it out on Ko Mi Ja and her family is not justified at all. It's just what OP said, a reaction, a coping mechanism. Not a right one, not a justified one, but a coping mechanism nevertheless. And we're absolutely allowed to judge that.
I haven't watched Ji Chang Wook for a long while, I feel like he's had a long patch of pretentious dramas/roles. This, here, is exactly what I've been missing! That down to earth, genuine, boyish actor. I watched this for Shin Hye Sun but got reminded once again why I fell in love with JCW. And of course seeing him back with Kim Mi Kyung was just the cherry on top. Such a sweet, slow paced, heart warming drama!
Just a little heads up. This is about friendship, family and community. I wouldn't watch this for the romance.
You actually feel somewhat sorry for the King at the end of this drama. In reality, there was absolutely nothing sympathetic about Yeonsangun. He was absolute trash.
Fair enough
😍😍😍
