I am in a minority here, but I think Ha Do Young will be her main enemy. He has very strong “Othello/Heathcliff” vibes for me ( attractive, charming, but a streak of negativity). This might actually make the face off more interesting since this would then become a battle of David vs Goliath. I used a lot of literary references. But I honestly think the author takes inspiration from old western classics. I watched her secret garden, City Hall (hated descendants of sun so dropped), Goblin and all of them you find references to characters from Korean or western literature. The character of Ha Do Young, has that powerful attractive older male with a dark streak vibe to him. Let’s see how this story shapes up. I also think he has a potential connection to Lee Do Hyun character too.

Same here

Yes exactly. I agree with you. Even when it gets extreme it’s only in the context of how much fees they charge, how many hours they make the students study and how tough the entrance gets for the best kota factory type tution centres.

In India I have seen it happen too especially with IIT coaching and in cities like Hyderabad and Kota. However people don’t get violent or try to kill children (cue sky castle, penthouse). Killing or targeting someone else’s child is a very Korean thing at least from the dramas I have watched. And I have watched loads of Pakistani, Swedish, British, American, Chinese and Indian dramas.

This block button is such a cool feature. And it does prevent one from being annoyed by people who are biased.

This is funny. I initially thought “consume grass” when I read your post. Although that would also have been appropriate

This and rational life are my best romances with older female lead. Others can get too cliche. In this they raise awareness about how society might be opposed to such relationships where women are older and also when it’s the coach. I googled and I realised that many track athletes have indeed married their coaches so it happens.
What I loved though was the relationship the second boy had with the second male lead. It’s one of the best and most heart warming mentee mentor relationships I have seen

please stop calling people Stan if they share a point of view. He is not a great actor. Brangelina are cheaters and why we wasting our time defending either of them. I was just talking in the context of an acrimonious divorce. Also as I mentioned before I did not know this issue of violence.

I did not know that.

It’s my personal bias but I would always take what Angelina Jolie says with a grain of salt. She is to my humble opinion “not all there in her attic.”

I don’t know but what I encountered (pun intended) when the encounter drama was airing, very public shaming of SHK and lots of comments made about her. I did not research any more.
I have encountered lots of humiliating articles about the ongoing divorce of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (She has been blaming him left, right and centre and very publicly airing all of their private life in public) and I was drawing parallels (SHK and SJK divorce was more subtle though not as acrimonious as Brangelina).

This this this… 👍 he has been so so so mean to her people don’t realise that. I don’t have a problem with divorce it’s a personal issue. But shaming someone is not cool. It’s not a gender issue. For example I do think Angelina Jolie is making Brad Pitt go through pits of hell. Some celebs are like that, so much of adulation especially if they are great at their craft and very charismatic (both Him and Jolie are), it makes them narcissistic. They get very very very vengeful. At the receiving end the person then goes through a very public humiliation.
Again what I wrote is just my perception.

Where did you watch it? I am struggling to find where I can watch it

The reason why people are bothered is not whether what you said is true or not. It is true. They do look older.
However it’s also not ok to do so. Just like we don’t comment or discriminate on religion, whether an actor is too fat or too dark. Commenting on age is bad because older people exist and their stories and their lives need to be shown and told. Of course if you don’t like it you need not watch.

Wow what a beautiful article. Very moving

Is that Ajith on your profile pic? I am also a massive fan of his. My favourite was Yennai Arindhal

I was watching this drama since I love maths. And I got annoyed with this drama. 1) why a student teacher thing… they could have shown a university corruption, he as a teaching assistant and she as a professor and this would have still worked. University trust funds are huge and a lot of corruption happens. Its ethically wrong to suggest a student teacher romance.
2) the female lead was very very very “foolish” she kept picking on the super powerful boss kept saying things to her and also kept hanging out with the student even when she knew rumours were floating around. I mean why? Did she know so less about power dynamics and hierarchies… that’s unbelievable. I hate when writers give us too stupid to exist characters.
The reasons why I am watching this drama is because of the maths and mentions of Ramanujam. As an Indian I am partial to both maths and Indians maths geniuses. Also there are snippets inside the drama where they show very interesting character dynamics. The melancholia painting that they mentioned, I liked it so much that I went and bought an art book about that painting. So really really cool info.

One of my friends was studying medicine. He said for certain branches especially orthopaedic a lot of maths and physics is required especially for concepts such as force and torsion so they actually use calculus. For clinical trials and Pharma statistical concepts are used such as sampling, hypothesis testing, forecasting etc. So there definitely is heavy maths for some medical fields (of course not all of them).

Me too your comment is funny.

I am in a minority here but I want more maths and more murder mystery. Please give us good maths… I loved the concept of the Melancholia painting (Durer 1514) shown in the Melancholia drama and I hope this one also introduces us to cool concepts. I like my romance chocolate drama dark not milk. 🤷‍♀️
