I watch this once in a while, when I'm looking for a leisurely, no-angst fairy tale. The whole thing is too long, too predictable and drawn out to the point of boring, but it's sweet and sometimes the type of drama you want when you just want to look at pretty faces and zone out.
For me it was hidden love, I loveeeeee lusi, but god the story line was not captivating for me, I thought maybe…
Same. After Love Like the Galaxy, I would have watched Lusi drill holes in boards for 40 hours, but I just couldn't with Hidden Love. I wanted to like it so much, but I didn't. After the first half dozen episodes, I was so bored.
Not for everyone, but if you're one of the people who would like a film like this (and you know who you are), you can't do better. Not a film you need to see twice, but it doesn't take long after you start watching it that you have to put down the laundry you were folding or stop washing the dishes and start paying closer attention to what's happening on the screen.
I'll say this: The FL dispatches the villains efficiently, competently, and very, very thoroughly. A FL to respect and admire, and spend a few minutes wondering what it would take to be like her.
Look, I don't know how many times the writers are going to have the same male character punch the same damn female character in the stomach, but it's twice now by episode 9 and it's ridiculous. It's unnecessary, it's abusive, and it's exploitative. Fuck these writers (two of whom are women).
a couple things: show would have been exponentially better if it was cast with actors who can act. The timing is always off, like they're searching their brains for the next line. Also, the FL is being treated like a punching bag. Her contribution to the plot is to be, I don't know--pretty, pouty and helpless, almost constantly in need of rescue, and driving the male characters out of their heads with lust. It's complete nonsense and not fun nonsense, either.
I've only watched half of the drama, but the chemistry between the leads is fire. Tell you something else: you will never believe anything as much as you believe that the ML is obsessive about the FL, because when they're in a shot together, his eyes are on her, and they don't leave. Plus, you know. He's hot.
This better have a HE, or I'm going to flip over some tables.
I'm starting episode 11, although I'm on the verge of dropping this. There are a few thematic tropes I absolutely detest, but in the top 3 is the one where a psychiatrist goes crazy. I don't know why film makers think this is fresh, but they do. I lost my sympathy for Anne's character when her pain makes her terrorize her kids. Videoing her when she's acting out and then using the video to manipulate and threaten her is annoyingly predictable, too.
This is not the drama I wanted, where the FL reacts to the betrayal by plotting a sure-footed, coldly rational revenge. Instead, it's the one where the wife goes crazy, uses her kids as footballs, and everyone winds up in a metaphorical blood bath. Awful.
No one "settles for a career healing animals" because of some kind of failure to get into medical school or whatever. Vet school is difficult, expensive and not for dummies. The profession itself is extremely demanding, emotionally, and has a high suicide rate that people don't talk about.
I can tell you 1000% that few things are as offensive to vets as the idea that they became vets because they couldn't become doctors.
This has been shown to be "rumour".. I quote Wikipedia page on Hans Asperger, "Asperger referred children to a…
I think this is not the debunking someone might hope for, though. Asperger was a Nazi, by his own admission, and the allegations of his involvement in and referrals to the clinic that conducted experiments and "euthanized" autistic children are credible.
Also, contract marriage is one of my favorite tropes (unless there's a character who's terminally ill. Then, not.)
Trying not to get my hopes up, but . . . .
I'll say this: The FL dispatches the villains efficiently, competently, and very, very thoroughly. A FL to respect and admire, and spend a few minutes wondering what it would take to be like her.
Loved it.
Liking this show a lot more than I expected, and it's sure to become something I look forward to watching every week. What a nice find!

I appreciate most of all that Viki is streaming this. I hope they pickup many more lakorns.
