Thanks for the heads up. It looks light and cute and a nice little palette cleanser between heavier shows.

To me she reads as autistic and as someone who grew up with very little love after the death of her older brother, hell even before he died. She thinks she's expressing her feelings well, because she never actually learned from example how to show and receive love.
She is constantly misreading emotional situations and projecting her own feelings/perception on situations. The show has done soooooo well at showing the different POVs of the same situation so the viewer gets a better insight into how they got to the point they're at.
As someone who is neurodivergent the FL makes so much sense to me.

It would mean MULTIPLE doctors over multiple continents manipulating lab and test results. So I'm going to say she is actually sick and could potentially die from her disease if left untreated. She needs to be able to slow down and only focus on getting strong enough for treatment, but she wont do that.

Also I think this role was a little too close to her Hotel de Luna character for her liking. She tends to mix it up a bit with each role.

For some actors it wouldn't be a big deal. BUT because of who the actress is....seriously look her up...she's a piece of work and needs rehab like yesterday....people are going to have an issue with it.
But like the others have said, fans think of these actors as idols and that they own them because they pay to go to fan events and watch their shows and make them money so they should have a real shot at being able to date them in real life. Which is psychotic.

I would ask this again after the 9th episode airs as that's normally a major turning point in 16 episode dramas. Cause as of right now you will want to commit murder. I'm not even joking a friend started to scream die die...about ML's friend giving the literal worst advice ever.
Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won are so amazing at portraying the emotions that they are feeling on the inside to the audience that I'd recommend it just for that. But the whole plot revolves around how the lack of proper communication between the Queens Groups family members will be their downfall. As outside forces are able to manipulate the family because they can't express themselves properly.
You are going to need the ability to 2x speed some of this show for you to enjoy it, i fear.

THIS! It's the perspective of each watcher. I find myself taking a break about 45 mins in each episode. I didn't notice I was always pausing at 45ish minutes to go get a drink or bathroom break until this weekend. I was like oh damn...the episodes are almost an hour and a half long and most of the other shows I'm currently keeping up with are 50mins tops.

So true, and they are always supposed to be American or English, but we can clearly hear the Aussie accent. And yet somehow the English teachers in all the shows have a Slavic accent. Make it make sense.

Another one is when the Korean actor is fluent in English, but the character isn't....looking at you M-A-N-E-R.

I haven't seen the show nor do I know much about it so anyone who has seen the show can you help a girl out really quick? For context I'm a queer woman, so the questions I have are purely for understanding the plot, not homophobic in nature.

So the premise for the show is that Tine is getting chased by a guy that he's not interested in. Is Tine openly gay? If so why didn't one of his guy friends help him out? Why did he need to get the most popular guy in school to fake date him? Is it because it's the only way the other guy would back off? Cause a sure fire way to get the point across that he wasn't interested would be to date a woman, no?

Unsolicited advice.
I would wait the two weeks for all the episodes to air and then during the "slower" or less interesting parts put it on 1.5x or 2x speed so you can see what's happening but get through it faster. Like ripping a Band-Aid off. Try and watch some other things in the meantime.

Episode 11 Lui finally sees the light of her own ways...no progress on the Faye front yet.

The petty urge in me to time out all the episodes to see screen times and scene partner breakdowns is so strong...but I don't got the time to be that petty...right now. I do not have the time to hyper fixate on this...come on brain...don't do it.

Whiplash...bro...It's all lovely that Lui and Saint realize they are the villains of their own story...but does the entire episode need to be their heart to heart?
I sometime forget that Guy is a lead character in this show. She's the lead lead, but shouldn't he have the second most screentime? We get no development from them without Saint or another character popping up.
It doesn't help that the actor playing Saint is naturally charming as all hell. Like come on writers, you're making it very hard to root for the OTP when they are never together. I swear i think there have been more scenes with Guy and Saint than Guy and Lui.

Also, anyone else shocked as hell when Sebastian Roché came on screen in episode 5? Cause I was like that voice sounds familiar, and then I had a holy shit moment. Love it when shows have actors from other countries cameo.

The fact that Hyun Woo is the linchpin of Queens Group, and the family still treats him so poorly is wild. He has saved them so many times and they have their noses so high in the air they can't see all he's done for them.

From what I can remember at the time of airing as we were all in lockdown and chronically online, there were a few reasons.
1. The advertising was a lot a lot...for the time that this show was airing. As the budget was super high they had to put more in-scene advertising than normal. And what they were advertising was making people laugh/fall out of the drama...it's a bit jarring if you aren't used to ignoring that aspect of commercial-less dramas.
2. Lee Min Ho is playing a similar character to his 3 most well known dramas. Aka rich arrogant. There were complaints about his lack of range, as most of his roles had similar character beats. (he has since gone on to expand on the type of roles he takes for shows, but at the time it felt very much "same-same but different.")
3. The writing went a little wonky in the back half. This is a common problem with 16 episode shows. Seriously it's the most common complaint I've seen about 16 episode romance themed shows. As the plot itself was more complicated, many people got fixated on small details or unfinished loose ends.

Personally I remember waking up to watch the new episode and vibing to the soundtrack. Again 2020 lockdown...there was nothing to do for those of us who were "let go" of their employment. So...in short, a whole bunch of unemployed, couped-up, bored af people felt the need to overshare their opinions about a show online.

It looks like he's focusing on his DJing and music

please tell me it wasnt just me that read Fumi as not a pedophile, but as someone who was told he could never be an adult, and thus interpreted it as not being able to be attracted to adults?
The little girl even points it out that he likes Sarasa as an adult. I think it was the first time he didnt feel like a "failure".
I understand that 19 year old Fumi liked 10 year old Sarasa, but 34 year old Fumi likes 25 year old Sarasa....so im just like, but was he though....?

the actors 6 years. i think she's a senior in high school at the oldest....& he would be like 23/24ish maybe older because he's completed his military service by this point.

I'm just sad this means they most likely wont be co-staring in that drama mentioned a few weeks back.
