This was a commercial for Rio beverage with actors saying and doing stuff, interrupted by other commercials, the most notable of which was a Chanel earring the size of a shoe, dangling from a character's ear like she was a prize-winning cow at the county fair.
I know that the rent has to paid, but let's be sensible about the PPL, maybe?
I wasn't sure where this drama was going or even what it was about until the last 5 minutes of the last episode. It's quite representative of what Jdramas do so well--slice of life--in this drama's case, a fine slice of one woman who falls apart, rather spectacularly. The symbolism of the last few moments of the show are very heavy handed, however.
The FL runs headlong into society's sexual taboos, like the Koolaid kid running through walls. It's an uncomfortable watch, and you wonder how far down she thinks she needs to go before she finds the freedom she wants to live her own life.
I've known women who stretched themselves to the breaking point to get away from their own lives, Before they snap back into some resemblance of themselves it can be very messy and painful for their family, their friends, and other fairly innocent bystanders.
A rare Cdrama I've re-watched many times. My preferred way to watch is picking out selected parts of the story, and watching all the related episodes, such as when Minglan sets her sister up to be caught in an affair, or when Minglan is chasing down the person who threatens her grandmother.
No discussion of "enemies to lovers" is complete without mentioning the kdrama, "Secret". This is serious melodrama, and although you would not want to be hated the way the ML hates the FL as the drama begins, you would certainly want to be loved the way the ML loves the FL by the drama's end.
If you see the guy you're interested in kissing someone else and then not two minutes later, he's offering to kiss you, too, do you? I mean, that's just unsanitary.
Everything in the drama is so lovely. Except after about 13 episodes, I was so, so bored. This is a mature cast. Why wasn't there more heat? Why do a noona romance and then waste the FL's maturity and experience on a relationship that's so blah?

maybe mark this as a spoiler. Not sure it's a good thing to amplify Always; the more exposure these lovely subbers get, the more likely it is that something/someone is going to pressure them to stop subbing.
Slow, seductive. This boy looks like trouble. He is constantly invading the FL's boundaries, taking any excuse to touch the FL, not necessarily innocently. Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

I thought this drama was inspiring, though.
When may we hope for part 2 of this splendid article?
