S1234

The romance should not be written as a romance. It’s not a crash landing on you. It just have subtle hints that’s it. The fact that she has someone who liked her with her emotional and physical scars. That’s powerful healing. She has a lot of healing from trauma she needs to do. So she technically has no love to give, she can only receive. Imagine you have severe stomach cramps from periods and burn scars which are hurting and you have no access to meds since you stay alone. It’s so gut wrenching. She is only existing at the basest level. She does not even know how to smile anymore.

Not really, there is a line in the drama “which is more powerful victims banding together or perpetrators getting together”. They are drawing comfort from each other. She is using them and may even sacrifice them for her end goal but there is a feeling of liking and solidarity too.

I really like the lady who is spying for her and Lee Do Hyun characters. Someone has to be on her side. And they both are in love with her, one like a sister and another unrequited. And I think it’s very important since she was so so so lonely all this while. I don’t know why people have a problem with the love line ? Is she a bear or a wolf that has to be bereft of human compassion or love ?

One of my best dramas. I always watch it when I am upset and life is giving me lemons. It’s very uplifting and shows that no matter what you can bounce back.

If they aired two per week in any case the drama would have finished by end Feb not earlier. So it’s literally just a 2/3 weeks delay. Plus helps better resolution of story arcs

Yes and I love her. Maitreyee. Her love interest is this Part Japanese guy who is a great actor (he is 31) and severely typecast to only play high school dudes. It’s very career limiting since I don’t seem him get any more roles. Even Ross Butler (he is 32 now) “thirteen reasons why” has a similar problem. Point is beyond 25 people age fast and before you blink you are 35. So it’s important to chose roles well and ensure that you are considered a “serious actor” not a “teenage cool dude”.

Yes I know about this and it is horrible this double standard. Especially since I am an insurance/ statistical analyst and can tell you than women out-survive men by at least 8 years globally which is why it makes sense to marry men of similar ages or a bit younger. But bias is bias. I am a millennial and find it surprising that so many GEN Z girls like old men (which is fine) and are vehemently opposed to older women.

It’s fine as long as both are above 25. I personally am ok with age gap of under 10 when woman is older and up to 15 when the guy is older. If they can be old enough to be your parent (15 and above) then it’s a bit off for me.

I have seen people talk about pairing with SHK and Lee Do Hyun, and I think it’s a conscious career decision by Lee Do Hyun. In Hollywood and Netflix, we have seen male actors pushing thirty Darren Barnet (Never have I ever), continue to play teenagers and then they get pushed out of the system. The competition for actors is very strong and good roles are limited. It’s hard to break through as an actor these days. They get typecast.
Whilst Noah Centeneo, Timonthy Chalamet look to play older and younger characters both, since they know that it will help them when they are older. It’s important to the longevity of an male actors career that they move beyond playing young teen roles. I think Lee Do Hyun is really smart since he has been acting continuously whilst also honing his acting chops.

Yes they are wasting money and cancelling good shows. This will land them into more trouble with their subscribers

Exactly. I am already upset because I loved the recruit on Netflix but with Netflix and the way they are going that show will not be renewed. At least I am thankful this drama the Glory, will complete its run. And stupidly they pay 100 millions dollars to Harry and Meghan and cancel good shows and split other shows.

Exactly that’s what’s I want too. Lowkey romance and no unnecessary drama.

Yeah you had the foresight… I saw it tank after ep 18. It was almost like Barbie and Ken doll…

She and her perfect husband. One of the worst dramas I saw the year.

Forecasting love and weather. At least the technical details of weather forecasting were good and there were some real raw gritty moments in that drama.

I agree she looks very beautiful and graceful.

So I am hoping for a romance “angle or lens”, but no unnecessary drama which is what we usually see in Korean dramas with romance. I usually like Noona romances, but this year all of them have been horrible. The worst being SAPH. In fact compared to SAPH, FLAW now seems better in terms of story and chemistry.
Having said that, the plot should focus on the story. The romance should be more of a no nonsense type. What I mean is “I like you, you like me. There is chemistry. Let’s have no drama and focus on our goal of revenge. With the promise of taking it further when things resolve.”

What times zone is that based on IST? I am waiting for this drama. Korea is one hour ahead from where I stay

Shitted on is the right word. It’s as if people are waiting to pounce on her. Shin Se Kyung also acts badly sometimes (she was good in Rookie Historian and Run On) but she does not get so much hate.

Yes I misspoke, I mean a mini break allows them to make changes to script etc.
