"showing how parties play their cards to look like they’re protecting the nation, while in reality… they…
Yeah, totally agree. History shows this isn’t exaggerated at all — power has always decided who gets protected. That’s why Made in Korea hits so hard… it feels less like fiction and more like reality
You liked it but u r giving it low ratings 🤷 show literally deserve 8+ without being biased
Haha I get you 😂 Honestly, I did like it — it’s super pretty and easy to watch! But I rate based on the overall feel (story, pacing, rewatch vibe, etc.), not just how much I enjoyed one part. For me, it was more of a “cute but not unforgettable” kinda drama. But yep, totally see why people would rate it 8+ — those visuals and kisses alone could raise anyone’s score 😏💫
Maybe the “love” wasn’t the typical K-drama romance kind —but it was there, in the little moments. Maybe…
That’s such a well-thought-out take, and I totally see where you’re coming from!
Maybe our definition of love is just a little different — for me, what Dong Min felt wasn’t the perfect or pure kind of love, but the imperfect, human kind. The kind that comes with guilt, confusion, and timing that’s all wrong… yet still shows care in its own quiet, messy way.
When he said he’d take the blame, I didn’t see it as grand romance either, but as his way of finally doing something selfless after all the mistakes he made. It wasn’t logical, and it definitely wasn’t ideal — but to me, that was the point. He wasn’t meant to be the perfect “K-drama hero,” just a flawed man trying to love someone the only way he knew how.
But I really respect your perspective — I love how deeply you analyzed his character. That’s what makes discussions like this so interesting; the same story can make each of us feel something totally different.
Maybe the “love” wasn’t the typical K-drama romance kind —but it was there, in the little moments. Maybe it was when she said she’s going to find her happiness and returned to that small town… the same place where she got to know a guy who was ready to take the blame for murder just to protect her. Or maybe it was when her friend literally took a knife for her without hesitation. Or maybe it was in the eyes of that kid—no blood relation, no obligation—who still loved her and missed her every time she wasn’t around. Love comes in so many forms, right? Sometimes it’s quiet, unspoken, but it’s definitely there.
