That's ok, reading is (mostly) good for the brain 😃
And I get your point! And if you have the time and possibility, check 'the smile has left your eyes'...One of my all time favourites, and in my opinion the best acting Seo In-guk did to this day.

I appreciate your lenghty trials of explanation but I still don't see it =D
There is lots of speculation in you text and of course you expected him to be interested in her as this was the arch of the story and advertised before. You knew who the male lead was, you porbably knew the actor and so you could expect him to be interested in the female lead at some point.

Had you not known the storyline, the actor, anything of that drama before, I
d bet you would never have thought he is the one interested in her.;)

I've done my fair share of relationships in the 1990s and early 2000s and there were intorverts, bad boys, awkward nice guys but not even the bad boy guys behaved like this character was written in this drama. If you want to see Seo-In-guk as a convincing bad boy who is mean but gives obvious signs of interest and has immense chemistry with the FL, go watch 'the smile has left your eyes' - then compare, the acting, the storyline, everything. If I do that I can just stick with my review, 'boyfriend on demand' was comparavbly really bad, sloppy and nonsensical at many times.

Nah, sorry, I just still don't see it. Always looking out for her with the boss? The opposite! In the beginning, when both are called in about who of them both will have to take a disliked project? He totally throws her under the bus and pushes it n her with a smirk. Same thing with this massage chair...he wants in, he wants her out of it, he snarles at her and keeps on standing and looking at her until she leaves the chair before she is done... and so on. He is plain mean to her, and he acts like he truly hates her.

I sadly have to agree =/ I like Ji Chang Wook and Doh Kyung Soo, but that was just rubbish.
Movie was way enough for the initial plot, to stretch this to 12 episodes made no sense at all.

Also the fight scenes were ridiculous to the max. Untrained people taking about 20 severe blows to the head, anyone would be long dead.

In the beginning of the final fight scene the antagonist cuts the thigh tendons of the protagonist with a Katana. As soon as that happened, the character of Ji Chang Wook would not have been able to stand up or walk with that leg, the whole following scene is nonsense.

I only watched until episode 3, and ff-ed most of the rest until episode 12.
Not good enough.

I appreciate your try to get things in order - but it's not necessary really. If you had read my initial posting properly you would have read the word MIGHT in the last sentence.

And yes, this was a general specualtion about the GENERAL situation that in the past two weeks, when I opened this website, two different actors (one of whom I don't even know at all ) are mentioned concerning tax evasion with the exact same back story given - which, in both cases, is, that rather recently, themselves, or close family members, have established new, small business - which- in both cases - are claimed to create a stuation where the respective actors can save tax money.

And all I said, (without judging anyone, without blaming anyone, without stating ANYthing as a FACT, just out of life experience, because, as you said yourself, EVERY tax adviser ADVISES you in his profession to save money concerninig your taxes) is that the background to both these cases, which SOUND very similar in to what was reported, MIGHT be that both got ill advise from their tax advisers. Is this specualtion? Yes, it is like 99% of EVERY comment under EVERY news article in EVERY neswpaper around the globe.

So, if that is a problem for your, please write to every website on the globe to not provide the possibility to comment AT ALL under ANY article, because this is what people will do then. They read an article and specualte what might have causes the described situation.

If someone can not distinguish between a general speculative comment on how something might have happened and whatever ill-willed blaming, accusing, trolling or bullying - then, this is THEIR problem, certainly not mine, or anyones, who just wrote a general comment under a news article on this website without any ill intention.

But thanks to this reaction here, this will definitely be my last posting under ANY article on this website. I'm nearing 50, and to cite a famous film 'I'm too old for this shit.' People, especially very young people here, with zero life experience and yes, many of them with obvious mental troubles, are so riled up, warped and aggressive EVERYwhere on the net, that it's just a waste of time and energy to talk to anyone in such context at all, and I've done this too long in this comment section under this single article here, while I only have written anything under any articles here maybe every 4-5 months, if at all.

So, please enjoy this aggro hasseling between each other, there will be no more comments from me.
It's sick and stupid times and my time is just too precious for this nonsense.

I don't know what exactly your problem is, but I don't really care to be honest. You started writing - first aggressive, now insulting - posts under my initial posting - which have nothing to do with what I have said there. Are you spinning? On meds? Forgot the meds maybe?

And no, I won't google anything. I don't know what that word means, and I don't actually care what any new social media hype term means, as I don't uns ANY social media, so I can't be 'one of them' - who ever THEY are Oo (And I guess people like you don't even get just how paranoid they come across). I don't know who this Lily is, I don't follow any article writers here, I just drop in here rather seldomly as I actually have a life, a job, real life hobbies, etc. This here is not somthing that fills my mind and days, or something I use tons of energy to look up which dopehead on social media said whatever or not.

All I did was giving my opinon as someone with some life experience in general concering taxes, tax consultans and how such situations can happen - which, if you would't be so blindly aggressive you would have got - might not be the fault of the respective actors but their tax advisers who gave ill advice. So I was actually trying to defend the actors, and you babble something about celeb suicide due to hate comments - seems like you have just forgotten your lobotomy that took place at some point in your life.

And yes, I am sure you are very young, guessing from your nick you are just a frustrated 21-year-old entitled know nothing but big mouth who is randolmy attacking people on the net. So, to be frank, sod off. I will block you and I will not reply to any more paranoid, nonsensical gurlge.

I don't know what Knetz means... It's just my opinon on how this could have happened...I don't have any detailed idea about Korean tax laws or any changes that might have been made in the past years concerning these laws. (from the country I am currently residing in I can say that tax laws change every single year and you have to be up to date concering these changes )

It was just my suggestion on how suddenly several rich actors are in focus of the tax brigade with the very same background story about their tax situation. Can you go an pack you aggro tone away? I didn't attack anyone, it was just my opinon and a suggestion on how the current situation might have been created.
And how old are you? Did you have to do your tax return for several years yourself? If so, you would know that tax consultats always make every suggestion for you to pay less tax and to get bigger returns.

Maybe not a big surprise here...the tax rep of Fantagio probably suggested this to the actors as a means to save money, maybe telling them it's completely legal...they might have taken the chance because who wouldn't after all if advised...now it turns out it might not be totally legal after all.

I agree the subscription is not worth the money - but for a different reasons.

I've done a one month subscription twice to watch single dramas, but left totally annoyed every single time - why? Because Disney is still (after years!) unable to provide normal English subtitles to their dramas. The only choice is 'English for the hearing impaired' - which is certainly nice if you ARE hearing impaired. As I am not, it bothers the eff out of me that there is all the subtext in the subtitles ('a phone ringing...soft souds from outside the door... somene knocking at the door...' etc).

If they ever feel their viewers are worth enough to either offer both subtitle options (for the hearing impaired AND JUST English) I will gladly subscribe - otherwise, no.

haha, oh, so I guess you really REALLY didn't like this one =D
I have to admit I am a little biased concering CEW - he of course is absurdely handsome, but he got me when I saw and heard his cover version of 'love is gone' - and him playing the piano - Handsome men playing piano and singing sad songs with a soft voice? - me melting =D
He might not be the best actor, but there is some dramas that I just like a lot for the mood, let's call it comfort/feel good dramas? Like 'True Beauty' - (have you seen that one?) I really laughed a lot watching it, the music is nice, the room decor in the house of the FL, the romance story, and I thought CEW was better in this one in the later episodes -myb check it out ;)

storyline sounds quite similar to 'Cashero'?

ah, dear Lucy, I couldn't bring myself to finish it, and lost hope before you did ;)

AI written, obviously, and badly too

I agree...yet this approach of the drama writers makes the drama way less realistic and less tangible - at least for me. And in my personal opinion it potentially actually weakens the female characters in the shows

for me it's not about if there are consequences for the characters who have committed crimes, there can be consequences like going to jail or even the death sentence for them - it's about THEIR mindset and how they are presented in the end, and it's always a regretful, remorseful apologising mindest the characters have, even if it does not fit their character as it was shown the whole show before. There is cases, like here, where a character like Mo-eun would have gone to court as calm and determined as she was the whole show before and stated that she does not regret her actions.

yes, I fully agree, that is what I would have had in mind for Mo -euns character. It would have fitted her calm and totally determined character that she would have gone to court and stated exactly what you suggested. I would have preferred that in matters of realism to the actual ending they wrote.

exactly...and don't get me wrong, I don't mean murder is a great thing in general, but I'd wish for a bit more realism and courage to show characters who - for the right or wrong reasons - are determined in their actions and don't automatically fold down because they have to due to a moral script code.

I liked the drama but I don't agree with her. In fact it's the second drama in a row where females who plan to or commit murder for very understandable reasons and BECAUSE so called justice is particularly not served by judges and laws, in the end automatically have to repent, have to die due to the script and writing which does not dare to leave a story with someone who committed a revenge crime and is fully aware and stands her ground not repenting having done so. I don't want to see the ever same automatic and almost forced moral message that has something patronising for the audience, maybe out of fear someone would commit a crime in reality saying the 'saw it on TV'. If you want to bring such topics in a drama, dare to let the outcome be uncomfortable, not always the same repent, regret and pay a price -story.

Fully agree, love her 😊

you simply can't speak for people who actually went through such experience. And I tell you, by experience, by working through all of it you can reach a state of actual total indifference to a specific person - while still NOT forgiving that person what they have done. To forgive yourself is a completely different, seperate thing.

And no, society does NOT encourage not forgiving, maybe some warped social media channels' audience does that but that's not the real world. Pretty much every religion preaches forgiveness, some of them expecting you to instantly forgive even. Nine out of ten psychotherapists will preach to their patients that the only way to heal is to forgive a perpetrator, to be the greater human and to forgive them. Some even suggest to meet perpetrators and tell them you forgive them because they hammer the message into you that YOU will feel better then, because THEY actually want to feel better and do that grandious gesture thing through someone else . And if you read any artciles in newspapers about the topic of forgiveness, you can see the emotinally biased reaction of the readers in their comments, congratulating and admiring people who claim they have (e.g) forgiven the murderer of their son or daughter.

And if you like, go make the test, especially as a daughter, an adult, go to your work colleagues or aquaintances and openly tell them you cut ties with your abusive mother. Do you want to know what will happen in 99% of cases? People will blame YOU for being a weird person and a bad daughter in an instant! All you will hear is 'the poor mother, how can a child be so cruel and cut ties with a poor mother?' You must be a bad and weird person to do that, it can only be your fault, mothers can never be blamed - AND, 'don't you think it's time to make contact again and FORGIVE your poor mother? ' People give a fuck about what really happened, they want to blame the victim because in reality they can't cope with things like abusive mothers. So don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I know VERY well ;)
