A fraction of their bromantic scenes are very beautiful for sure. I don't know, maybe it will be a lot more fun during a rewatch, knowing in advance what's to come. .

>Why cant we understand that they have been friends and do not want to misunderstand and risk their friendship.

Because it's extremely unrealistic. For starters they do insane things for each other that are impossible in a male-female friendship & then after such acts they just backpedal in every single episode.

As for wanting to preserve the friendship, the moment one of them gets a spouse it's either friendship over, or the spouse would just leave. If I met a guy who was acting like ML with his "bro", I would nope out very fast for sure. So basically their close friendship either has an expiration date, or they stay single for the rest of their lives to preserve the friendship!

Also the ML in one scene is 10/10 jealous over this or that & in the next he is doing the usual bro for life proclamation. It's a bit tiresome after the nth time..

Every episode has about 1 minute that is supremely annoying & the rest is not amazing with quite a bit of propaganda content. I'm not dropping it yet, because I have a feeling once they get past this around e20 it's going to be a lot of fun..

(I'm 38)

Alright it was fairly tame, though it was a such a pointless waste of 5 minutes.

Oh my god what the heck is that thing XD What a product placement, not disruptive at all.

talking about the bracelet

Ah, ty!

where is the calendar?

The problem is not the slow burn, but rather all this awful bro for life crap that's repeated ad nauseam despite ML confessing all the time from e5 onward, it's just silly and repetitive.

..will in all likelihood still blow her top about Danho, despite the writer going with the really egregious uncle thing!

I'm just upset that Moeum's mom..

> i get the its still not socially acceptable part of a parent dating after their
s/o passed

It is acceptable, but need to find a someone with a similar flaw. (divorcee single mom, another widower etc)
It must be so tiring to always "know one's own place " in that backward society.

A tokbokki stand doesn't count for practical experience in the field, probably.

It's not exceptional, though it did have one exceptional episode.

It's a bit overrated, but it's decent.

I'm yet to watch the episode, but i think this is just bad writing. Let's just remove the "weakness" with a plot twist, instead of dealing with an adult situation.

Look at My Sweet Mobster for example: The top 2 visible reviews are 8 & 10 and oh boy it's surely not very difficult to bash that one.

>Says you… lol people agreed and the numbers reflect that,

Yeah, that's not how MDL works on an average day.
Anyway it's alright, let's just agree to disagree.

I regret starting this a little, feels like they won't start dating until like e22..

In the Western world actors employ agents or agencies to find work and are mostly self employed. In Asia mostly actors are trained & exploited by agencies, which are often huge companies.

In China there are a bunch of companies that are trying to do this with live streamers/influencers with varying levels of success. This is similar to the Asian agency model for actors, but far worse because they are creating the content with commercial intent in mind, so it's kind of like trying to build a fandom for their streamers first & then focusing on advertisement as much possible, basically just cashing out until the streamer needs to find a new carrier. (It's difficult to sustain a lengthy carrier as a streamer, if every minute on screen is all about selling a product to your viewers)

I'm watching episode 1 right now & based on that ML is working for such a company.

Yes there is, but it's very mild. (What is an annoying stalkery ex that even suggested to divorce his wife to get back together?)

Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 is like Jo In Sung & Gong Hyo Jin's chemistry in `It's Okay, That's Love` & 1 is Park Min Young with Song Kang in `Forecasting Love and Weather` I would say it's about a 6.5.

I have a feeling (and I'm not judging) that Minah knowing that she will have to play a 33 yo FL with an even younger ML underwent botox treatment before the drama & this has led to some of her facial expressions being quite a bit less expressive and animated than what I'm used to from her & this has a big effect on the perception of on screen chemistry. (could be off base here & I'm sure angry MDL users will bash me to death if they see this comment)
