I don't know if its translated proper to english. Maybe in Korean sentence is structured different for that to make sense but saying you didn't kill someone is still true if they are alive so that makes no sense to be a lie. So it's either translation is not accurate or something else.

Cliffhangers work that's why you see them. Big majority of people don't drop series they are hooked on because of minor annoyance of cliffhanger on the other hand it keeps many more to keep watching who were on the fence or enjoying it.

I don't think what he does is reporter job. Atleast in my country you are definitely breaking ethical codex doing this and that guy even breaking some laws.

But it is something someone at magazine would do or paparazzi and I don't consider those reporters.

This is just wrong and not at all plausible if you take into account everything that was shown so far.

Is this like actually good or is it like all the 9+ rated cdramas that disapointed me ?

Nah oscars were always bought by studios.

Minus the incarnate

Just because she has bad personality and is a spoiled streamer doesn't mean she deserved to get kidnapped, tortured, harassed, etc. for days and then after possibly getting killed. You can even see how she reacts to being touched and she might be even more sour person after that experience. She even tried suicide. Sure she is not nice but she definitely doesn't deserve any of it but her character is also partially written kinda badly for a victim.

Well you clearly can't read the room. Date is not even important here, it was just a nudge about the update on review after recent episodes. You didn't see original review because it was changed after this and that one clearly indicated it was written before watching later episodes.

Also I just tested and I can't see review date using browser on phone but there is a date when I load it on desktop. I use this website on phone.

This is what happens when something gets very successful and they make a sequel to milk it that no longer has well made planned story to tell. So you get bunch of filler nonsense with barely any progression and more of the same stuff.

Well writting gets worse the more you watch until you end up with plot holes, questions not answered and unsatisfying conclusion, oh and ML dies even tho story allows ton of variation where he didnt need to die for no reason. Or atleast he could die and come back but he doesn't. Idk why this was even marketed as romcom.

Also FL is useless and just depends on everyone else and side leads are getting more annoying with each episode.

Watch anime then and you will see movie adaptation was subpar.

I also don't get why so many people try to make CEO be bad when everything he has done so far indicates he is good.

This drama has ton of established antagonists already so I don't think they will make some kind of out of nowhere plot twist with ML only kinda work friend considering everything they built on so far indicates the opposite.

I think it's barely anyone defending this. Its big majority negative reaction.

2 female lead prob makes more money for him then ML now even if she switches producer. He has ton of signed artists. Him having ml around is just liability for him and he does it anyway and his brother doing shady stuff doesn't mean ceo is bad. In fact he scolds and tries to keep brother in check so idk what you are on about that.

Him being parent it's not about him being good but about him juggling responsibilities and still taking time for ML and take care of him.

I don't think ML owns the company based on how the other artist that doesn't like him act towards him and he probably doesn't want it in registry because his real name can be tied to the company then and idk if he can be silent partner. If he has any ownership of the company it doesn't really matter in this case anyway and there was no indication of him being one.

I didn't see any of his actions being shady and everything he has done so far points towards him being good. I can't think of 1 negitive thing he did that would indicate him being bad.

I genuinely think you are focusing on wrong person 🤣

Your argument for him being bad is he seems sus based on old roles he played and him being nice is alterior motive even tho nothing indicates that. I don't really know the actors so I have no preconceived bias on that. These dramas usually have undertone tell about deception and I didn't see anything here and let's say you are somehow right about CEO keeping him in check because of success of his company and keeping ton of people employed that still wouldn't make CEO a bad guy. And ML without being employed as artist would have way worse quality of life then CEO not having him.

You need to look at this as overall outside observer not from perspective of ML.

Also there are already plenty of established antagonists for ML that can create enough drama so adding his only kinda friend in there that could otherwise create more wholesome moments in future just makes no sense for show like this.

Idk where all that CEO random hate is coming from. He only ever did everything to protect ML and it's all so obvious that you can easily trust him that he is not the bad guy with bad intentions.

The fact that you took ML showing up at company and CEO covering him as him being shady when it was actually done because he was worried about his friend doing something he didn't want to do due to being under pressure makes me understand why you came to all these wrong conclusions about CEO . He rushed him out of the room to get him out of a stressful situation he wasn't equipped to handle.

Also he has responsibilities of making the company run on which many jobs rely on while ensuring his friend doesn't do something stupid that would harm the company and himself / his career. Yes, it's not all just about ML and enabling him. CEO is the responsible adult basically being parent to the ML and making everything work even having him as a composer in firm is a risk because of his past yet he made it work for him. CEO has to deal with ton of issues and enables ML to be able to work and live comfortably and sometimes even disappear and turn off the phone while ceo still need to pick up all the slack.

There are ton of hints showing CEO is his friend and basically parent that cares for him instead of his mom that kinda abandoned him.. you just missed it all or screwed your perception because you wanna hate him or something. Idk why you even bring in his past roles into new drama. Your hate on CEO is unwarranted and makes no sense. He has to deal with ton of stuff on daily basis, ML is just one of the many people in his company yet he takes ton of time to help him out because he cares for him and he does all that while also being a parent and I asume being either married or single father.

2nd fl scene where she rationalises that she still likes her based on saying that he likes her singing reminded me of movie Dumb and dumber when Jim Carrey says "So You're Saying There's a Chance" after girl told him his chances are 1 in a million. 🤣

She only prayed for the power because she wanted to live care free without working and enjoy rich life. She is so salty at daughter because she doesn't enable her that even tho she has power. She keeps gaslighting her and make her feel bad because she didn't have it her way.

I asume because initially she thinks that it doesn't work.

This can not be answered simply.

Actors can individually sign to do each project but sometimes it comes in bundle and they need to do multiple things and take good with the bad.

Do they know outcome of the story ? Also depends on the work they are adapting. If it's preproduced drama then most likely yes if show is being written while airing on the go then most likely no. They can get general idea how it will go when script is not finished and it might sound good if its sold well but then later once they develop it they don't deliver.

Do actors have any input ? Well before signing sure if they are not under obligation they can not do it but it could also damage their reputation with that production and their circle. After already signing it actors have little input on how the story will go and can only improvise on how they will execute the role and fight for small things that don't change overall outcome. In kdrama especially actors just do what they are told. In some western shows some actors are executive producers or very influential so those have power to change stuff.

Idol actors are basically there for the paycheck and to blindly do what they are being told to best of their ability or not.
