I... don't think you understand the impact a horrible, intrusive family has on any marriage. In real life most marriages fail because of a horrible mother-in-law. Either a mother who mistreats her daughter and makes her unhappy or a mother who treats her son like a golden child who can do no wrong. Statistically, marriages rarely survive when the couple lives with either one.

She's a happier person without her family. He's a happier person without her family. And the show hasn't shied away from showing how much they love each other.

The fact that they live with her family is the biggest problem in their marriage.

It's the in-laws. She changes when she's with them. She becomes cold hearted and calculating because that's how she survives in that family. And he is treated like a servant by them because of his social status. - Considering how most marriages fail because of meddling in-laws, this is not surprising.

None. This is not like Doctor Romantic. There are no interesting surgery cases. 99% of the drama happens outside an OR.

I was wondering the same thing... Korea is probably hitting their Hollywood smoking era via soju in kdramas.

Yes!!! That was a lot of booze in that drama too.

LOL. Accurate. The booze is plenty in this show.

I think they are all aspiring alcoholics. LMAO.

Ahhh. That makes sense.

Wow. The soju worship and consumption in this drama is unreal. Happy? Soju. Sad? Soju. Want to say thank you to someone? Soju.

All the characters have professed that they prefer soju over everything else.

And... I think it's obvious. This show should have ended at 12 episodes, without the white truck of doom. We're going into Telenovela territory now.

Honestly, this is well written, which is more than I can say for so many rom-coms the past few years. The dynamics are interesting, the dialogue is great, and the comedy comes at unexpected moments. The best part... It doesn't feel forced like so many other rom-coms.

I like this one. I'm excited to see the next few episodes.

I appreciate the drama outright saying that getting cancer is an allegory for getting married to a selfish, cheating, man-child, only to sit back and take the abuse.

Only two episodes are out, so it's too early for me to judge this drama... But the directing style is unique and fun!

I don't think you perceived her wrong at all. She was super whiny and childish, throwing temper tantrums like a 12 year old. Half the time I wondered whether the ML has a kink where he wants to look after her, because they didn't act like they were partners.

Writer: How many times can you show the same scene over and over so I only need to write enough content for 10 episodes?

Director: YES!!!

I think it has a lot to do with the standard in which we hold each genre.

Eg:- Slice of life has to feel like a warm hug, or it fails; comedies HAVE to be funny or it fails;

Thriller/mystery have to be intelligent with a well-written cat and mouse story, and as for rom-coms... tbh, rom-coms have the lowest standard imaginable out of all the dramas. A lot of viewers who watch rom-coms only care about the chemistry between the couple and really don't care about consistent writing. Mystery/thrillers on the other hand, have a higher standard. People want intelligent characters and a smart storyline that fits perfectly and makes sense. But in a rom-com, someone falling to death and declared dead by the police even though there's no body makes perfect sense. LOL.

This was a conflicting watch for me. Some moments I really enjoyed, but for the majority of it, I was bored. If I had a cliché bingo card, I would have hit BINGO 5 times over for how hard the writer tried to hit every trope imaginable, even though the story didn't need it (Eg:- useless love triangle, fake break up, fake death trope etc.)

What I liked: The characterisations for secondary characters were some of the strongest character studies I've seen for a fantasy rom-com kdrama in a while. The villain was honestly a strong villain. (even though I feel like they underutilized him in the end) And the cinematography was honestly too pretty for words.

I see this drama more like a drama of wasted potential. It could have been amazing with fewer episodes, a better written script and more of a push pull between Do Hee and the villain. And of course, not every drama needs a break up when they will get back together 5 mins later. Seriously, this trope makes me drop one point every time when I rate a show.

Slow start. For a while, I only watched it to see the downfall of the assistant. Then the show started to feel warm and fuzzy, which is how I love my slice of life dramas.

My only criticism is that the useless love triangle was not needed. They should have just kept him like a brother tbh. What was even the point of that storyline???

This drama is underrated. Great characters, great acting and the chemistry between the entire cast is amazing.

I never thought I'd say this in a million years but... For the first time ever I found Cha Eun Woo attractive. This role suited him.

And... this drama would have been much more fun if it was a 10 episode drama without Bo Gyum. I wish it was a full comedy from beginning to end.

Thank you! I've been lucky. The friends I lost because of her, I've gained right back. Clearing up misunderstandings is underrated.
