Title Jinxed at First Spoiler
This show is moronic. There is no better word for it, it's just moronic, plain and simple.
-FL who sees the future never manages to see the important parts (like that her hanging out with the ML will get him fired, almost murdered, and his mother murdered, or that, on another occasion, the ML will get beaten and abducted).
-The ML is retarded. Not mentally disabled, there is a character in the show that suffers from such a disability and could run circles around the ML, but retarded as in the insult; He escorts a strange woman home where he is met by his future boss, a wealthy and powerful man, who upon seeing him with her immediately spits out a blatant lie and fires him. Then, he and his mother are almost hit by a truck, though she pushes him out of the way, saving his life at the cost of her own. Then, while spreading her ashes, someone tries to kill him again and dumps him in the ocean. And here comes the reason why the ML is retarded; he does nothing. He survives, is saved and given a fake identity by someone, and goes to run a store with the same name his mother's store had. He doesn't go to the police, the media, doesn't even make a reddit post about what happened to him, and by all accounts hasn't even connected the dots. Seriously, we're 6 episodes in and he still thinks the FL is some runaway rich girl, and he still hasn't figured out that she can see the future, despite her doing so multiple times while he was present... And let's not forget the fresh fish delivery to an abandoned warehouse...
-The whole Josef Fritzl experience. The second male lead finds out his father (the Big Bad) has kept a woman and her daughter prisoner for decades (as did his grandfather before him), and does nothing. That's beyond psychotic. Then there's the Big Bad's brother, who got pushed out of the family business and hates the Big Bad, but upon finding out he's been playing Fritzl, doesn't use this information, along with his own considerable power and influence, to utterly destroy him and his business, but rather starts a round of hide-and-seek with him...

It is one rare time I see such a clueless lead couple. They are cute together but they have no idea what is happening.…
Agree with you on most points, with the exception of the SML. The guy found out his father was playing Fritzl, and did nothing.

Serious question; why? Not trying to be an asshole or anything, I'm seriously wondering what people find entertaining…
@vivalf "they're over the top crazy funny"
I see the crazy, I just don't see the funny. I guess it's just one more of those love it or hate it things.

"it was building up the character as the drama progressed"
Thing is though, it wasn't. The character started off cool, and ended up equally cool. Less than building up, it was just stating the obvious.

Anyways, thanks for answering.

They won't turn out to be real siblings, don't you guys worry. It's not a j-drama lol
It's obvious they aren't real siblings, but the show is trying really hard to push the incest-but-not-really plotline (seriously, who in their right mind would assume an adult man and woman together are siblings rather than a couple... that preview was so forced) for shock value.

I'm a straight guy, so the man-candy didn't blind me to everything else ;). And because it didn't blind me, every time they had Vincenzo do something that was supposed to be cool, all I could see was him shouting "I'm cool!", "look at how cool I am",... at me. It just came off as trying too hard, if I'm making any sense.
(I assume the shocked emoticon is to due my low rating of Vincenzo, I apologise if otherwise.)

Just watch this and Link for the crazy support cast like the fish market folks. This so reminds me of the Vincenzo…
Serious question; why? Not trying to be an asshole or anything, I'm seriously wondering what people find entertaining in those over-the-top, borderline crazy, support characters, since they are a serious turn-off for me (for example, the support cast is one of the 2 main reasons why I gave Vincenzo a 4.0 (the other being that they tried to make Vincenzo's character look cool, and took it too far)).

Title Link: Eat, Love, Kill Spoiler
when they show the introduction song at start of episode they show a intro video in that they show animated cartoon…
Dunno, I always skip intros. I went back and watched it after reading your comment though, and have to say I agree with you.
It makes sense. The skittishness of the FL's family, the obvious "childhood trauma causing blocked memory" trope with the FL, the ML's telepathic link with the FL, the drawings in the intro (both the girl meeting the wolf (predator), and the one you mentioned),..., can all be explained if the FL was also kidnapped as a child, and the twin helped her escape, while she stayed behind and died.

Makes me wonder who did it though. Maybe it was the cop that harrassed the homeless guy? That "Did I kill her?" question while he was trying to force a confession felt like foreshadowing.

Title Link: Eat, Love, Kill Spoiler
Watching episode 5 at the moment, and I get the feeling that whoever killed the ML's twin sister is somehow related to the FL (maybe she was a witness, a bystander, or even the actual target), and her mother and grandmother killed the murderer and disposed of the body.

Person Hwang Bo Ra
Did she piss off someone influential who can really hold a grudge, or is she just typecast as the annoying side character? Because whenever I see her in a show, that's exactly what she plays, even in bit roles where she only has one or two scenes in the entire show.

We even got a whole 3 minutes of a proper epilogue, which in my experience is unheard of in Kdramas. The longest one I've seen before this one was, IIRC, around 30 seconds and just a couple of scenes of the main and second couples.

Title Sh**ting Stars Spoiler
Any dramatic change in epi 16?
I usually stock up the last 4-6 episodes of a show for just that reason, and when I finally watched the episodes of this show, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, for something to happen to mess things up, and luckily, amazingly, it never came. It was just a nice, sweet show.

Why are some people still thinking they’re siblings…don’t y’all see the romance tag?? T_T
As someone who just discovered the show and only read the summary, I think it's because the summary implies it; man loses twin sister decades ago, and now feels what a completely random woman feels. That's obviously alluding to the whole twin telepathy trope.

I didn't get what you said :( . Is it boring ?or it has a very weak and bad plot?!
Sorry, it's a Western soap opera thing.
Anyways, the events in the show are just waaay too over the top and utterly unrealistic.
It also feels like one of those "us against the world" shows, where basically everyone who is anyone in the story is acting against the leads.

Not for me. The premise sounded interesting, but the execution was like a soap opera. Halfway into episode 2, I half-expected for someone to have an evil twin show up, that's how ridiculous the show is.

Title Our Blues
"slow-ish start"Asked and answered. First impressions are a thing, and, well, the first segment (the bank manager…
Both.
The plot is the worst of the segments shown so far for two reasons; first, because the cause of the bank manager getting in debt just doesn't translate (a good school, sure, but golf???), and second, because the character is written off the show the instant the segment is over.

And the character is the worst because he has no redeeming feature. Literally the best thing that can be said about him is that he decided not to scam the woman that's had a crush on him for decades, *after* she found out he wanted to scam her.

You wrote "emotionally invested and riled up", and that's exactly what didn't happen for me in the first segment. I just didn't care and was about to drop the show when the teen pregnancy segment got me hooked.

Why does this drama have such low ratings compared to Move to Heaven or Hometown Chax3. It touches on teen pregnancy,…
"slow-ish start"
Asked and answered. First impressions are a thing, and, well, the first segment (the bank manager who moved back to scam the rich workaholic) was arguably the worst.

Wow the last 10 minutes. Regardless of whatever the hell her situation was, she shouldn't have said it to someone…
The high school incident can be excused by kids being kids, as in, insensitive, but the bet was downright malicious.
She made her "best" friend believe that she's going to kill herself, just for her to travel from the bottom to the top of South Korea, and all for a bet with a couple of her friends. I would want absolutely nothing to do with someone who does that.

Title It's Beautiful Now Spoiler
I like that it’s very relatable not some crazy over the top plot lines
The problem is that we're only a quarter of the show in, and the couples are already set up, they're aware of each other's feelings, said feelings are all positive albeit to varying degrees,... There's only proper dating and marriage left, and no amount of padding can change that.
It feels like they paired them up too early, and no matter what, it's gonna get really draggy.
I mean, if this were a romcom, considering where the couples' are at right now, we'd be at around episode 10 out of 16., not 12 out of 50.
