Respect for saying this. xxo

It IS a barbaric thing to say, and it makes everyone who reads it share in the awfulness. There may be other places it's okay for you to write crap like this, but I don't think it's here at MDL, where we talk about entertainment.

Also, even with an asterisk, the use of the "C" word is disgusting. Don't do it again.

This is an awful thing to say, and if it was me, I'd delete this comment and never write something like it again.

Agreed. Show was slow, a bit boring, and the unrelenting annoyance of the mom eclipsed whatever messages the show wanted to make about family. I didn't like it, and I should have dropped it sooner.

If you shut off your brain and just watch, show is fairly addictive, but it has a giant problem that you must be willing to overlook: the ML treats the FL like she's a pet--holding her like she's a chihuahua, controlling her like she's on a leash. Some of this can be attributed to the enormous size difference between the ML and FL, but not all of it. This is an example of those times where what you like in romantic fiction really doesn't have anything to do with what you want and like in RL.

I don't even care what it's about, I'll watch it to see this cast

I haven't seen the last episode yet, and let's face it: the last episode can make or break a show. But if everything holds steady and we get the ending this show deserves, then this is a 10 for me, in the same class as "My Mister" and "The Glory", and I don't say that lightly.

I don't know how the rest of this show goes, but the first episode was probably the most intense hour I've ever watched on TV. The performances are Oscar worthy.

Excellent review. Agree completely. This is another one of those shows where people are swooning but that just bored the hell out of me. Thanks for telling it like it is.

You asked where you could watch this 9 years ago, so by now you've either already seen it, graduated from college, got married or moved to Japan. One of those, for sure. Anyway, this is currently being subbed at lakornpixie.

Wow, what a squishy landing. It was so good, so tight for 8, maybe 9 episodes, and then it's like someone let the air out of its tires. Why? Why'd they ruin this lovely drama?

Me, too! That's one of the things that makes this show so re-watchable.

Well observed. Excellent point.

Your list makes me want to start crying and not stop until Christmas. So many young, gifted people. Gone.

And Lee Sun Kyun, driven to kill himself by the intrusions of the press, the viciousness of social media, the bullying of the police.

I refuse to be a part of that, and this site--MDL, which I've come to treasure--I don't want it to be a part of that, either.

This is a decent rant, and I agree with you.

Some how, some way, I came to really like this website, and almost all of the people who contribute articles and essays, write our news, and in general, keep the wheels turning so that I and all of my hundreds of friends can write our silliness about the drama we're watching (because I'm watching "Wedding Impossible", and I'm about ready to take a blow torch to that woman's hair that's short AND long, like no one on the show can make up their damn minds. Sorry, off topic.)

This type of breathless gossip is not it.

It contributes to the toxicity of fan culture. It contributes to the misery of their lives, and it makes us all smaller after we read it.

Can't we please leave these people alone and stay out of their private lives?

We're in agreement, my friend.

Exactly!
Got no love for a woman who cheats with a married man, but if the man she's cheating with is married to me, it's his ass I'm going to be beating. (I'll hate her too, and probably for a long time, but if she can sleep at night, it's on her.)

You put it very well.

I rarely have problems with dramas where infidelity is the theme. Infidelity just isn't my ax to grind. However, dramas that treat the people who are involved in the infidelity like they had no power or choice except to do what they did--they do bother me. People who have affairs sort of enter into them gradually, one step at a time, by edging ever so dumbly over the line, but everyone inevitably comes to the line: this action and the ones that come after this will make me a cheater, and I'm [okay, not okay] with that.

aw, shucks. So far, It's goofier than I expected.

Ain't nobody does manwhore like New. And you know why that is? It's because those are the only characters he seems to play.

This is 20 episodes of blood-boiling, studio Change rubbish--purveyors of the worst lakorn trash in the business, but if you know what you're in for when you sit down, you'll at least still be sane by the time the show drags you backwards through all the lakorn bushes.
