S1234

Again that’s a matter of perspective. Song Kang and senior forecaster are the only two watchable people in this dreadful show (my humble opinion). I really really liked song Kang here. Also I am actually invested in this story with his wife which I am liking a lot. Penguin guy is good too. Cheater couple is a total fast forward for me. So we all like what we like I guess.

Yes I agree to your point. But then the show should have shown us more of challenging oneself which it did not do either. It’s just so much angst and navel gazing. To me this show is not even ok because it does not know what it wants to be so it’s not consistent in tone or messaging

I agree. What I am saying is you are having an inside out view from park min young character and that is justified. I am taking an outside in view where I am saying that the author should not have done this because she is trying to normalise a behaviour which should not be normalised. I hope I am making sense 🙂. Within the world inhabited by JHK it makes sense but people outside who are the viewers will get triggered because many people have had devastating experiences with cheating 🙂

In real life no sane person will spend time with a cheater. Forgive yes sometimes they do but seek advice that’s not something people do. No one is that loser ish

Thank you for sharing your story 🙂. Loved reading it. And I agree love is funny. I am in my thirties now and am from South Asia. Many women are always forced over there to make choices just because of what society thinks is right for them and not what their heart desire. And I also agree people in twenties have a very different view to how life will eventually turn out 🙂.

When when when ??? I really like Xu kai and yang mi both

Faulty is fine but to keep glorifying cheating characters on and on. The same weather disasters at every episode like rinse and repeat is just too much. And to be honest I have visited Korea many times for work. Yes it gets cold but it’s not like a weather disaster as shown here in this drama. It’s a popular tourist destination worldwide and weather is actually good during spring season and summers are not like Indian summers with extreme heat.

I don’t think his acting is bad either. He literally does not get any scenes. The scenes with his father for example are quite good and so are the ones with PMY also, but the scenes themselves are few and far between. He is literally being treated like a Bond girl by the drama creators just for decorative value and I do think that’s Low key offensive to treat actors like that

You know what will be even worse is if they reunite like the last 30 secs of the last episode. Oh my god at this point I don’t think anyone will care anyways.

I agree with you. The only people who are pleasurable to watch in this drama is Song Kang and Yoon Bak and senior forecaster. The writer has done dirty to all the female characters in this drama making them dull and unwatchable compare this with brigerton (sorry I am gushing since I am so enamoured and biased with this show it’s fabulous and I binge watched in one entire sitting to the point my head is spinning now) where all the women characters good and villainous are an absolute delight to watch

While I agree with you this make the whole purpose of this drama pointless. At the promos they said it was a romcom and show the healing journey of the couple and it’s neither. So it’s very dishonest of the whole drama crew since the product is not what was marketed at all. Being together would make some sense of this very unenjoyable journey of 14 episodes. This reminds me of the dark tower series written by Stephen king, it’s a series of 8 books written over 30 years and you know the end of the series is exactly the point at which the first book started ? Many people were justifiably not so happy. The point is people get invested in stories and you cannot make the readers or viewers take a bumpy ride to make them come back to circle

Don’t stay in India but yes but I have south Asian roots and ancestry which is not Indian.

Exactly right Simone Ashley in Brigerton is not beautiful (at least according to conventional Indian standards) but oh my god what screen presence. She lighted the whole picture frame to the point that you only watch her when she is there. The other character I loved was Penelope again another person not conventionally thought to be pretty. Watch Brigerton you are Indian I presume you will love this show. It’s fabulous and it’s representation and diversity is amazing. It’s such a feel good tingle in my toes drama this season 2. And loved this line “after passion cools and fate intervenes, who else is a woman left with but herself.” Gosh loving it loving it. I know I am gushing and that too on a k drama forum but it’s so so so good.

After the disappointment that this drama was I was trying to distract myself with Brigerton and found it horrible. But I stuck on and it surprisingly started becoming amazing after ep 3. This drama also highlighted why flaw was so unlikeable. I think we all like feisty female leads and sparks between the main couple. When I saw Brigerton I finally realised what the thing was, the whole spark and joie de vivre was missing from the female lead. I personally think Song Kang did a great job of convincing us of his liking for JHK, no matter how improbable. But the character of JHK is actually what made this show so unwatchable. It’s not the acting but the direction and the author of the drama who are responsible for this mess.

Giving analogy from this drama, people also can change like the weather. This episode did it for me for many reasons. One the female lead, two the utter disregard shown to the health and life of employees of KMA. With covid and seeing how governments treated essential workers at the expense of general public I am biased. Yes they are civil servants but a life is a life. Just this kind of thinking saw so many frontline workers being sacrificed to the cause of protecting the public when they could not even be bothered with masks. Anyways I am done with this drama. I won’t be commenting anymore about this drama on MDL and I am dropping it.

Yeah but I could not buy the explanation for the reasons I shared. Where I stay in south east Asia, I also see a lot of people who belong to conservative religions/cultures and again we see people still marrying for love and taking steps when their heart tells them to. At this stage for this character, It’s just euphemism for being self centred and being inert.

Problem is I am emotional. I get invested in characters so this does not work for me. And part of the problem is that I ended liking Lee Shi Woos character so much that it annoys me to see him get shortchanged so badly throughout this drama at every possible way.

This entire drama is extra about everything 🙂. This is what I have realised after wasting 13 hours and endless hours arguing on this MDL page initially supporting this drama imagine. God if only I could get my time back.

Look I am south Asian. It’s a far more conservative culture let me tell you. In some parts of South Asia the culture penalty for love is actually harsh and we all have seen it. Even then women go for love they take chances and go against the grain. So it’s hard for me to justify this character. We don’t treat our men like such dirtbags because we are afraid of what people will say. This character has purposely been written so unlovable by the author for whatever reasons I cannot understand

We are all eating the humble pie. 😀😀😀
