Mirae's mother is kind of a control freak. She's nice and mostly sympathetic so far, but I fully expect her to flip out and cause some fuckery for Mirae and Hyunjae at least once over the next 46 episodes.
Also, I wonder if MR's brother will get his own romantic interest. He's getting a subplot of his own with the restaurant inspections so far, which could mean the writer has plans for him.
I still don’t understand the problem of female lead why does she want to divorce? Please enlighten me
Her husband lied about many things, including his educational background and the fact he had a child he didn't want Mirae to know about with a woman he was still sleeping with (according to the child's mother at least).
Since their marriage was basically arranged by the groom's mother as a union between two wealthy singles with comparable social status, it was not a love match and they didn't know each other well before they married.
So when Mirae found out about her husband's lies, she had no reason to try to reconcile with him; it's not that someone she loved betrayed her but rather she realised she had made a deal with her husband and his family based on lies and had been conned.
On top of everything else, when she tried to leave him, her husband turned out to be a huge dick.
Honestly, I understand and support Mirae's desire to get a divorce, but at the same time I don't have a lot of sympathy for her. Her troubles show why jumping into a marriage with a stranger based on your families' similar circumstances (or the fact your "levels" match, as Koreans like to say) is a terrible idea.
Just a question: is it that hard to get divorced or get a marriage cancelled in SK? I don't know the laws and…
Until relatively recently SK didn't have no-fault divorce IIRC, which made it much harder for couples to divorce when only one party wanted it. That's what I've gathered from dramas, at least; I welcome corrections.
I dropped Gentleman and Young Lady after two episodes because of how bad it looked and it was sad not having a weekend drama to watch. Then this finally came out and the first episode was exactly what I had hoped for! Fun, not too frustrating or dramatic, multiple couples/main characters I can become invested in. Obviously it’s only one episode, but I’m optimistic.
After Night Wanderer got canned, this is my most anticipated modern romantic cdrama. PLEASE no tax evasion/cheating scandals until after it airs! It's my only reason to live!
It is definitely an unsatisfying “happy” ending. When a drama invents stupid reasons to keep the main characters apart, makes them act in frustrating and/or uncharacteristic ways and waits until the last 5 seconds to reunite them instead of giving them and the rest of the cast a proper sendoff, many viewers lose interest and can no longer enjoy the idea of them ending up together. Not all happy endings are good ones.
I'm on episode 6 now and the FL has absurdly weak ankles even for a cdrama heroine. She falls into the ML's arms at least twice per episode. This is concerning, not romantic!
This is not a very important question, but how old are the two main characters supposed to be here? I know Lin Zhixiao is a junior in university, but I'm not sure what age that translates to given that she's studying to be a professional musician, and she said Gu Wei is in his 30s, but that seemed like a harsh assessment, so...
