I heard from someone living in SK that it is quite a “big thing” in Korean culture to avoid head on confrontations…
My ex's Korean ex handled their breakup exactly like this, so it's certainly a real cultural thing. Though it hardly applies to what's going on in this drama with FL's "friend", that is not real life.
Though I know from experience that this trying to read between lines thing can be insane from a non-Asian perspective. (Chinese people do this too at the very least)
I still love it! HOWEVER, can they please stop getting sick??? It seems someone needs to go to the hospital or…
> Kdrama writers, you're better than this!
I wouldn't expect much from the writers of a show where the ML has a 2005 era evil chaebol dad & where FL's fake husband / love triangle cockroach is her chidhood friend.
Having a bad couple of months with multiple hospital visits is the least of the script's problems.
Should I watch this? im also kinda a beginner i watched only a few dramas
These shows don't require any experience with this genre. The danger here is that the writers often mess up the final episodes & with this drama we don't yet know if it will be good or bad.
I envy you, I'd love to delete Goblin, While You Were Sleeping, Another Oh Hae Yong, Hogu's Love & It's Okay That's Love from my brain to experience them once again & you can.
i thought i was the only one who noticed. the ratings and reviews here are definitely rigged.
Why wouldn't they be? The studio etc know that MDL ratings matter to foreign viewership, so they'll take steps to make sure it's not bad.
But yes considering how many reviews talk about the "amazing chemistry" It seems clear what's going on, even if a small percentile of those are serious.
Just look at the top 2 reviews shown right now, both are 1st time MDL reviewers xD.
Jung So Min keeps playing the same role. This is like her third project in a row where she is playing the exact…
FLs from Love Next Door & Alchemy of Souls are not the same character I think, however it is the same character with This Is My First Life, but she is half assing it now compared to back then.
I like Choi Woo Shik a lot and did my best to enjoy the drama but couldn't even finish the 3rd ep and had to drop…
I have not dropped it yet & I've gotten further, but I agree with this. Hogu is one of my all time favorites & Beloved Summer is also great, but he seems miscast / wasted in this role.
Seriously the people who review dramas on MDL always ruin the simple enjoyable things. Always looking for too…
I think it's alright for a drama to have many statistically improbable but still possible events or characters. At the very least the drama should respect its own established rules, the writers shouldn't just randomly retcon things in as they go. They should show a basic level of respect toward the audience & not pretend they forgot their own plot and world-building from earlier episodes. Also sudden character rewrites are almost never okay & unfortunately these are very common in live filmed kdramas.
With that said, these things don't apply very strongly to this show. (at least where I'm currently at) It has other problems..
Is there enough romance? I see some people saying no and others saying yes, I've been debating whether to watch…
If a typical romantic comedy has 10 units of romance & a crime thriller with a predominantly male cast has 0, then this show is about a 6 in terms of romance content.
While I think you are overly generous in your final rating, I think not only are you bringing up great points but also the emoji use-❌✅- is really great. I think I may follow suit too :P
I read somewhere that the filming has been stopped, right? Lusi fell ill while filming and she’s in her recovery…
It's unlikely that we would see new works from Lusi. This drama's fate is up in the air, I think Lusi getting replaced has way higher odds than her returning to filming. Though without knowing more I'd bet on cancellation.
edit: Perhaps I'm wrong, now that Lusi is singed by Alibaba anything's possible.
JSM is over rated.Honestly, her acting has been banal..Retrospectively, i feel 3 of her dramas that were hits…
I somewhat agree that Somin's acting has been low effort of late, but calling Lee Minky extraordinarily talented is missing the mark in a big way. The robotic character he played in This Is My First Life is like the only character type he can pull off very well, at least that's been my experience regarding his acting.
