Nonsuch

You may be right.

I don't mind the short king, but I am with you on the FL. Why, oh why did they write her to be so damn stupid and clueless! Of course the set up is fantastical, but still.

Yes, I understood that, and though all sorts of things can remind us of something unrelated, I think objectively it is a huge stretch; as well as regarding someone who is 19 as a teen in the same vein as someone who is 12.

... which is a spoiler.

You really should put a spoiler alert on your post.

I think comparing it to Lolita is an unreasonably huge stretch. Goblin set up is a fantasy. He is a millennia old GOD. She is not a regular human either, her existence is made possible by him giving her his energy. She is not supposed to exists in the normal world. This is a mythological set up, and has zero to do with real life teens and dirty old men. BTW, Lolita is 12, this one is 19 to 29. No comparison.

Not even 12, it was maybe 6 :) . The age gap didn't bother me, but the baby lisping and "aegyo" were really getting on my nerves. I think she dropped it later in her career, for which I am grateful.

yes. They will end up very much together.

Are you sure you wan to be spoiled? Trust the writers, they will deliver :)

Pure delight. The relationship between the two ML is a joy to watch . They are so playful! The way drama approached the arts, social class, humanity, family, character, love - all of it was light, poignant, fresh, and funny! Oh how funny. Also it seems to me they took almost every cliche of k-drama and did it differently.

Yes! To me most ratings on this site are a little strange.

I also liked it until I didn't. I really liked the stories of the 3 women, but the main love relationship became about her emoting on how they can't have a relationship . It was tedious to watch, and I became exasperated with her for being so self-absorbed in her fears , patronizing of him and emotionally immature all at once.

By who's standards? Her acting is so fake it could be cartoon.

I think we are talking in circles. So time to agree to disagree, I think.

Do you have a point other than that you chose to completely miss mine? But whatever. I have no interest in going on discussing this.

I think the whole mass psychology needed to grow the hell up. What is happening now with these never ending 'revelations' is nauseating. Worst even it trivializes the plight of people who deal with real abuse. And there is a difference, despite of attempts to blur it. I wish the whole paparazzi culture can be outlawed, and the media held responsible for flaming this kind of shit into major firestorms.

Yes, it does happen. And it is sick - literally and figuratively.

"separating character and artist is not possible." - Try it in reverse : if an actor plays a massive jerk would you despise him and berate him in real life?

I think grown up people should know how to differentiate between an artist and the art. A person can be a royal jerk , and even a criminal, and a genius all at the same time- one does not cancel the other. If we want only morally unblemished people create art we will have no art at all. And I for one don't want to live in a such a universe. Also when people are accused of actual CRIMES, there is , or should be, a legal process to deal with it. What I object to is the court of public opinion aka mob, venting their personal grievance and frustration at life by destroying people they don't even know. That is not a way for any society to function.

I think that both sides of every so called scandal are taking it too far. I think people are projecting their personal issues on actors, and then going berserk defending or denouncing them . It is crazy, and imo it is unreasonable and vicious.
Yes, in real life victims are often not believed by the authorities, bosses, courts, police , and it is a huge problem, but it is a different issue. The self proclaimed victims of relationships gone wrong , however, are not in the same category while the damage of their 'revelations" is irreversible even if it was a lie, or a misrepresentation, or just talking out of hurt. Life hurts everybody. Love hurts even with best intentions; being hurt in love doesn't necessarily make one a victim, And frankly these 'scandals" are becoming a bit of a trope.
