By the way, did anyone else get heartbroken when Il Ho got the news of his son's death? That scene was so extreme and well executed I was shocked - reason why I'm shaking up until now. Guess I can relate a lot more to that father/son relationship than the lead's. Woah. Suddenly my head hurts.
I just wasn't touched by the drama in this one. I used to be a tough girl but these days I'm a crybaby yet if it isn't spotlessly executed I'm not reached unless it's relatable - which it isn't.
So far so great. I was anticipating this show ever since it started airing though I postponed it and I'm not disappointed. The only thing bothering me so far is the completely off topic teen romance. I don't know if it's related to me being incapable of liking Minah but whenever they get screen time it feels like I'm watching something else entirely. Apart from that I'm getting a kick out of this show. XD
First things first, I love this post and every word in it. You are right from top to bottom, bae. In times like…
HAHAHAHAHAHA Timbone-kun!
Women are not evil. They can be cunning, indeed, but some are really thick.
I don't believe in generalizations of gender though I tend to pin those onto men. What can I do, it's a defense system.
The only guy who liked me for who I am met me in high school. I was such a tomboy who played soccer with him on the streets and had the stronger fist but he liked me anyway. Alas, back then, I was too young to acknowledge how big that was and I never really talked to anyone about it so I pushed him away until he finally stayed. These days I wonder what if I had given him a chance. Would I be with him still? Maybe not? Would I view the world the same way? Perhaps worse? Wondering isn't as torturing as people make seem. Rather... intriguing.
I have my traumas behind my way of viewing men but I don't hate them, I'm just wary.
If you're one of those good guys hiding, chingu, then keep an eye out. One day you'll meet a good girl if so you wish. I'm not looking and I really can't picture myself with anyone, married and with kids but God only knows the crazy loops the future holds so I shan't say "never".
Hwaiting, dongsaeng, himne!

Ooooh, I see, I see. Well, I say I don't believe it because I blame hormones. I only believe the love I feel for my mother and that's basically it. It's like I'm bound to love her forever and any tiny little thing that comes out wrong from her mouth can do a huge damage to my heart and if that isn't proof of love I don't know what is. It comforts me, thinking that the only person I love is my mother because... I don't really admire her. Just... I don't have any reasons to look up to her and take her as a role model so it can't be tagged as that, you know. What else can it be then? Love. And that's enough for me, knowing I'm not broken.
All you said made my heart flutter, sis. I do agree, I observe people a lot. In fact, when people start paying extra attention to me I tend to hide back in my shell and when I read "asexual" I jumped in my seat because here you have your major platonic asexual you'll ever know. I'm in love with the idea of love but anything close to reality makes me cringe - I'd rather eat ice cream and watch dramas than make out with a random hottie from the gym.
Score/rating went down a few notches.. i haven't started it yet but can anyone give me a super vague reason why…
Unlikely since most users are biased by one reason or another. If you read my previous comments on this show you'll see I agree with you in several aspects. What I can't accept is unfounded low ratings, NOT reasonable criticism. Besides, the rating relies more on numbers than quality reviews and you'll have to agree with me but you're with the minority here, which doesn't help your argument so much. As for me, if I was to drop a point for each flaw I find in dramas, all my scores would be negative so I rather vote for the general feeling.
EVIL CACKLES I WAS RIGHT ABOUT TAK BUT OOOOOH MAN EPISODE 18 NAILED IT Except for that disgusting and uncalled…
I know right? I literally ughed and looked away. It felt like incest because I only see a baby when I look at him and I only got a noona/dongsaeng feeling from those two. That simply turned me off big time. But then that smirk to Gyuman. Oooooh boy.
EVIL CACKLES I WAS RIGHT ABOUT TAK BUT OOOOOH MAN EPISODE 18 NAILED IT
Except for that disgusting and uncalled for display of affection.
BUT OOOOOOOOH MAN I NEED AIR
so i LOVE LOVE LOVE romance...in dramaland. in real life i'm kind meh about it. Here's what so many women don't…
Oh, we're in different generations here, so I get why that doesn't appeal to you at all. Besides, everything changes when there's kids involved. Most rom coms I watch are about young couples, younger or around the same age I'm at, I have yet to watch the mature ones. And while I haven't experienced any of that, you seem to be tired of it, I don't know which situation is worse in my point of view. That talk about "me time" keeps me wondering that married couples only learn to appreciate how good it was being alone, all the more reason I don't like that idea at all though I fancy the idealistic romance ideas of caring for each other and all that.
But I can say from watching my parents that romance in their context would be making time for them, going out on dates and being more thoughtful to each other's needs and personal issues. But my father was a cheater from the start, all he did was demand and complain about everything and stand in the way of everyone's happiness. It wasn't until everyone left home that my mom finally started to get sick of his inconsiderate bullshit and decided to leave him to rot like he deserves. There was no partnership between them at all and he felt like a stepfather I despised. There's nothing I can say on that matter though since I don't have your experience. Perhaps you're the happy one since you had it so much you also had the chance to get sick of it. I'm jealous. As for my mom, she still swoons over silly romances at 56.

Sister, I don't really see how that's different from my view. I said I don't believe they're happy as I wish I'm wrong. Isn't that the same? I'm also hopeful whenever I see a couple that appears to be living smoothly and working through their relationship. It's heartwarming. That's just until I find out that's just a show they're putting on. Nothing makes me my eyes sparkle more than when I see a couple of elders being cute together, awww, that's the most adorable thing. And though a voice in my head whispers they're faking it, I fight it back considering all the things they must've overcome together, y'know?
Teen couples with all their sickening lovey dovey are also cute but it's like watching a car speeding up against a rock mountain because, unavoidably, their expectations and fantasies will crumble down eventually. Not always, of course, some marry their first love but if they're happy that way is another story entirely.
And I couldn't agree more. In the end, all things are down to how we were brought up as a child. I keep pondering about it. I have two brothers and one sister, I'm the youngest, yet we were all raised together, the same way. And from my parents' troubles while my brothers seem to have taken for a mission to be a good father/husband, me and my sister got damaged and can't seem to trust men/relationships. My sister's bolder and stronger than me so she takes risks. Also, she fears being alone while I'm aware we live and die alone so I'm cool about my current status while she isn't. But she doesn't take crap from men either, hence why she broke off two marriages and a third engagement. I'd rather not lose than take my chances at winning - I play it safe. It's like that Kelly Clarkson's song. XD
So maybe it sounded as though I was favouring women but I'm aware they can be even more dangerous than men. Sadly I'm guilty for being feminist and defending them even when they don't deserve it but I'm also aware of that and I trying to fix it. I also know there are good men out there, not all of them are wolves but it's also hard for me to accept that for personal reasons. As you said, historically, culturally, socially, men's cheating habits get justified for them but not women's and this is why I don't buy this "equality" talk. Not that I want women's cheating to be praised, I want men's cheating to be condemned like it should so people's values don't get even more spoiled than they are. Like Timbone chingu said previously, these days people get married too easily counting on getting a divorce in case it doesn't work out, without thinking twice about family values and consequences around them. But now I feel like I'm drifting away from the main topic here. orz

We were really separated at birth, huh? XD
