I’m going to finish watching this drama, but I have to admit after twelve episodes I’m bored and did feel it started to drag. It would have been better with twelve episodes so they didn’t have to stretch the plot. I’m waiting for it to finish airing when before I was looking forward to new episodes and watching right away.
I was excited for this show because of Kim Ji Won, but once I read it’s got the CLOY team behind it, all my enthusiasm for this show died because I really hate CLOY 😂. To top it off no matter what I read about this show it just seemed like it had no real plot. Like what is it I’m watching for exactly? I find a lot of people are still unable to give an answer to that. The more I read reviews the more I feel this show is all hype.
when did they say ML was bad cop ? I didn’t recognize him at first because he put on a fair amount of weight…
They showed him breaking out a bat to scare criminals or something like that. Been a while since I watched it. I mean “bad cop” in the “good cop/bad cop” dichotomy, so “tough, and doesn’t follow rules” sense, not in the sense that he was incompetent.
so once you become full time employee you can act like BOSS there and all those who were already full time will…
He’s in the reject department. They have no ambition and no real pride in their work. Anyone who has the FL’s capabilities can quickly take over. I don’t find that part weird at all. Yes this drama is silly, but it makes perfect sense to met that surrounded by losers with little in the way of initiative he would take over with her personality.
Omg thank you. I also thought after escaping from woke, preachy, western series I would be safe with kdrama. But…
Wokeness is absolutely invading kdramas. You can tell a lot of the writers are feminists for a lot of recent kdramas because they keep inserting these annoying messages. Don’t know if you watched The Law Cafe but I had to drop that one because it was so transparently preachy.
Feminism and social justice bent is ruining a lot of kdramas imo. I actually quit watching The Law Cafe when in one episode FL has an episode devoted to feeling guilty that she harassed/assaulted ML because she kissed him without asking and she has a conversation with a male character where he tells her that the best thing to do is ask permission and she tells him that this made her heart flutter. Dropped it right then and there for the obvious preachiness. Webtoons are particularly loaded with this stuff based on the dramas that keep coming out that are based on them. Too many of them have characters, especially male characters, who aren’t interesting at all because they’re meant to be the unproblematic wish fulfillment of their female writers.
My Mister is in my top three dramas of all time, although it didn't have much impact on me. Lost is a drama I…
It’s too bad because I was really excited for it since it got so much praise, and I have loved Ryu Jun Yeol since Reply 1988, but it was pretentious as hell and sad simply to give the illusion of profundity. Of course, it might still be to your liking, so give it a shot. Just know that all the teasing it does never actually amounts to anything of substance in terms of the plot. There’s tons of artsy filler to make up for lack of substance, and if you took it away you’d have maybe eight episodes at the most.
Thank you so much for this actually honest review that didn’t just rush to claim this is a masterpiece because it’s sad and cinematic. My Mister is a 10/10 drama for me and many compared Lost to it. This is not that. My Mister wasn’t just directionless sadness.
Omg what you said about what happened after the curse was broken is how I felt and mentioned in my review. I barely paid attention to the last two episodes because I knew I wouldn’t be missing anything of substance.
I’m so glad you said this about Cha Woo In. It’s a common kdrama problem imo. Female characters sharing the lead with male characters can do no wrong. I noticed this early on even in just fight scenes. DBM actually gets hit and gets tired, but they can’t land a hit on CWI.
He was such a good kisser that he made her look good. The kissing is seen as good on this show, and I appreciate there’s a decent amount of it, but really it’s only good because of him. He does all the kissing and she allows herself to be kissed. Yes at least she manages to close her eyes, but she really has him doing all the work.
I’m so glad someone else feels this. I was watching episode 5 and it felt like a straight up record scratch. I rolled my eyes so hard and thought how Reddit, Drama Beans, and all the westerners were going to eat up that after school special on consent. Really soured me on a drama that was mostly enjoyable up to that point.
