First, there was a community of interests - films, cinema and a fascination with a specific director.
Later, there were the teenager's raging hormones and her natural approach to this topic in the case of a shy and withdrawn boy. If her reaction had been hysterical and judgmental - the boy could have had sexual inhibitions and problems with contacts with women, which could have ended in crimes (history knows many such cases).
Because they knew each other, felt something for each other, wanted to help each other - and it was what happend. In the process, they both opened up, came out of their shells and the teenager will not have a trauma for the rest of his life.

For me - are so realistic.

Uff and you're still with your "pedophilia".. ☹ maybe you could correct this comment, because as you yourself admitted above (in another comment) - you got the definition wrong..
Thank you in advance.

"(..) as their lives get screwed by their relationship at one point." - can you clarify what you mean? Thank you.

Apart from the series... people who were addicted to their partner know how hard it is to leave. It's like successfully overcoming an addiction (whether it's cigarettes, alcohol or drugs or.. partner..) - not everyone can.
Sometimes betrayal is a strong enough and necessary incentive to deal with leaving such a relationship.
We know this from life and this series shows it too. And praise the series for that.

Ok, of course it's not mainstream but it happens.
And as Terence used to say 2 thousand years ago - "I am a human being and nothing human is alien to me".
Whether it's Asia or Europe - I can list many such cases and those that last for years - being a beautiful love story and started when one person of the couple was a teenager.
Examples:
Europe - there is probably no more expressive example in the world that the current President of France and his wife (his former teacher) show us,
Asia - a beautiful love story that I recently came across - Taiwanese idol Jam Hsiao and his wife (his manager for 20 years).
Not all such relationships have to last for years beautifully, sometimes they can help enter adulthood or get out of other, toxic relationships.
And it's not so strange at all. I personally was in a similar - reversed - situation.

The world would be happier if there was more acceptance and less judgment.

Yeah :)
This probably happens in every arranged marriage, and not only in arranged ones 😊

Of course - in 100%.

I agree, the intimate scenes were very aesthetic.
And these scenes were necessary, in each couple for different reasons.

Her greed – because she was pushing for the wedding at all costs – it was the point. You can see that in the series.

He said that it could have been like before (implicitly – but you insisted).

Ha ha ha.. :)

Yes, but only one person per year - unless you break the contract then it might be faster.. :)

The attacker kills the security guard with his bare hands (and in installments) and the remaining group of security guards stand motionless and watch as the attacker finishes the job, instead of approaching and at least punching the aggressor in the head with a fist for example ;
trained security guards from special units or martial arts athletes (this was said in the series) are not children from the sandbox or passers-by from the street...

The biggest stupidity in the series - below:

Please help me understand one thing that is a mystery to me.

Why does ML always wear jackets, coats or other clothes that are too big for him? And not just one size too big, but several.
He looks like a caricature of himself in these jackets - it really ruins this handsome guy.

Does anyone know?
I can't believe that staff can't find smaller sizes for him..

He was punishing her for betraying him and marrying someone else. Since she had lost her memory and didn't remember that fact - there was no point in punishing her any longer.

Of course.
He has both talent and good looks, so he can count on leading roles more often, and the leading roles are paid better. So yes - among other things - they also pay him to look good and take carry about his shape..

Being a good actor is one thing and having good looks is another. But when you have those two things together, you often get leading roles. If, however, there is only talent, you are a so-called characteristic actor and you do not play leading roles permanently, but sporadically (or sometimes bad guys/criminals).
This is what it looks like from my long-term observations.

Bravo, bravo! It's nice to read brilliant and life-wise statements on MDL. Thank you!

"(..) exhaustingly patriotic" yeah.. this is what irritated me the most.
