ShEsHy

I watched it, and, like with the first episode, I liked everything apart from anything regarding the daughter's job, such as the co-workers treating her like shit and the stick-up-his-ass boss, because it just kept reminding me how moronic her transfer there was.

I liked episode 1, with one glaring exception; the daughter's transfer. Everything about it, the cause, the execution, the lack of resistance by the daughter, the "coincidence",..., was exceptionally lazily written, dumb, and it utterly soured the show for me.
I'll watch episode 2 to see if it manages to redeem itself, but I really don't see that happening.

This is torture. The fluffier the show gets, the more I anticipate the other shoe to drop. The Korean romcom tropes have broken me.
The entire trip, for example, I was just waiting for the sister to cancel their accommodation or threaten to fire the women, or ruin it in some other way.

Getting passed over for a promotion because your boss dislikes you, likes someone else more, or just straight-up nepotism isn't a new concept.

Correction, there're two ;). I meant the grey-haired, bearded one. IIRC, they were both in I Am Not A Robot.

I wanna enjoy it as much as you seem to be, but I keep waiting the other shoe to drop at the end of every scene (for the FL to get ostracised and fired/forced to resign due to her relationship with the ML, for the FL's friends to get fired because they're her friends, for the ML's sister to underhandedly screw the ML over, for the trope-y main couple breakup and makeup,...).

Considering how rare even white, English-speaking actors appear to be in Korea (there's one actor who basically appears in every romcom that has a white character), I think you're correct.

Did they? All I saw was a portrayal of a generic rich playboy, rather than a (in your words) sinful Muslim.

"I think Shin Hye Sun is carrying this drama. She is an amazing actress and it is impressive how she can change in each role she does."

I agree. I thought the actress looked vaguely familiar, and your comment finally made me look her up, whereupon I found out she played the emotionless ballerina in Angel's Last Mission: Love, a completely different character. And she pulled them both off brilliantly.

*sighs*
I'm starting to assume that this show is gonna crash hard towards the end, just because of how many pointless negative plot elements it's introduced (ML's bitch of a stepmother, FL unknowingly harming people form her previous lives, the two other people who know the FL, the attempted murder of the ML,...).

Looks like it's continuing the Kdrama tradition of taking certain parts of the show way too far for no reason whatsoever.

Nobody really does subs like fansubbers, which is why VIKI's crowdsubs, if complete, are always the best. They translate everything, even the intro songs.

This show, on the other hand, was so bad that I had to pause the show, whip out my phone, and use Google Lens to translate the text plenty of times.

"So this is how the influencers live?"
Supposedly, it's much worse. I ran across a video not long ago that claimed (and supported with what seemed like evidence) that influencers are basically high-priced prostitutes/escorts, with advertising contracts if they get enough followers.
There was this whole thing about Dubai and how female influencers who travel there do so to do freaky shit (pun intended) for billionaires and get paid 5 figures and/or with shopping sprees. There was a case (google "Dubai porta potty", NSFW) where an influencer was allegedly paid $50k to get shat in her mouth or something like that. She supposedly killed herself after the video got leaked.

Nope. No way in hell I'm watching this. Just ran across it and made the mistake of googling the event this film is inspired by, and fucking hell do I wish I hadn't.
How anyone who heard about it kept even a shred of faith in humanity, much less in Korean society, is beyond me.

Game over man, game over. Nuke the planet and let the cockroaches have a go. They sure as fuck can't do worse than humanity did.

It's not embarrassing, it's just plain stupid.
Go for the crotch, the eyes, the throat, the solar plexus,..., biting someone in the side of the neck serves absolutely no other purpose than the writers thought it would be funny for it to happen to a vampire.

It's just far too slapstick-y for my taste.
I've no idea why the showrunners, despite already having not just one, but two dedicated comic relief characters (the sidekick vampires) in the show, decided to go ahead and have literally every other scene be a skit.
I've seen American sitcoms, canned laughter and all, with less forced comedy.

Let's hope then that the second half of the show doesn't turn out like A Business Proposal's.

So, the FL is dead in the time their son is from? I say so because he talks about her in the past tense when talking with the ML.

Aren't US taxes more or less intentionally such a pain to file because accounting and tax filing software companies lobby the US government to ensure simplifying the process remains an impossibility?
I think I remember hearing that somewhere, though I'm not sure if it's even remotely true, as I'm not American.

I'm European and I don't get it either ;). I guess it's yet another Western/Eastern culture difference thing.
To me, cute and childlike *is* adorable, but only when it's a child, not an adult acting that way. When it's an adult, it just comes off as awkward and embarrassing.

"if you're a fan of fluff, leads that are together for most of the drama, and baby voices"
God yes, very much yes, and hell no.

I've never understood the appeal of the baby voice. It annoys me even if someone is using it with an actual baby.
Though, fluff and no will they/won't they or random breakups & makeups are more than enough for me to tolerate it in a show ;).
