I was left with a very pertinent question. What happened to people like Hwan back then….I mean he couldn’t really ever have a relationship with anyone…in that time period someone like him if exposed, would likely have been killed. I think he did a great job playing the character and my favorite scene in the whole series was when he was In his little hut in full makeup and turned around…..♥️
Hmm something about this feels lacking for me. I like the show but I can't place my finger what's leaving me dissatisfied.…
It was perfect in every way except the most important….I never bonded to any of the characters..I liked it but never felt invested in it like for example The Rise of Phoenixes or Empress Ki. By the last episode I was ready for it to be over.
I waited so long to finally watch this. I like this. But the FL’s character is wearing me out. She’s kind…
Totally agree. I have come to the conclusion that the only requirements for being a Korean actress is that you can make goo-goo eyes at the ML and cry on cue.
Would have been great without Go Ah Ra……that’s all I have to say. Will not be watching anything else with her in it. And how come her face kept getting fatter as the series went on?
Thank you! Nabi really irritated me with her behaviour, always acting like Jae Eon is the devil while she kept…
Love Alarm 1 and 2 is the same kind of plot. I actually know two women who went through this same kind of thing….inflicting damage on really loving devoted men only to turn away and hook up with someone who was “safe” if you know what I mean. These kind of women temporarily bury their insecurities and neuroses in a self-induced fantasy that the safe guy will be the answer to their problems. Both my friends, after an initial period of playing fantasy happiness with the safe guys, eventually left them because they drove these guys crazy with their constant insecurities, jealousies, and demanding behavior.
I can’t count the times I heard one of my women friends says to her husband “Well, if you really loved me you would (insert demand).”
I really feel sorry for men. Most of them are simple people, they don’t understand nor know how to effectively deal with all the game playing, the emotional manipulations, the scheming, the fake “I am hurt” and you are responsible for it nonsense….they just love. In my humble opinion most men don’t bounce back easily from those kind of relationships….a term we call “gun shy”.
Well said. Just finishing it up now and totally agree with everything you’ve said. Song Kang gets better with every role he takes on. FL was for once, not a whiny demanding character. Overall I’d give it the same rating.
I loved this drama. I did not think the male lead was toxic since he was clear from the beginning about his intentions.…
I might also add, (I am 80), that the reality of life, of relationships, are that you have to pick and choose what you will put up with and what you will not. What might appear unbearable to one person, is a lesser evil to another. I was in a relationship where I loved the other person beyond all measure but he didn’t feel that way about me. He cared, but it wasn’t the way I loved him. Eventually we broke up…..I wouldn’t trade anything in the world for the time I had with him.
Those people who think there is a perfect relationship out there are probably still young and idealistic and fervently shout “well, I wouldn’t put up with that”, only to find at some point, yes, they will. Love is funny that way.
uh no i dont agree that would actually make me grossed out.
I did not read her initial comment, just all the replies. The burn in hell caught my attention. Obviously she is Christian. In my humble opinion Christianity has destroyed what could have been a wonderful planet full of people caring for other people. South Korea should have stuck to Confucius’s teachings. Christianity certainly has destroyed the U.S…..I am Korean American….wish I could drop both parts at this point, ashamed of both countries.
Although the story was dragging and went round and round, I found myself continue watching because the AI aspect…
Interesting you should bring up those questions. There is a new movement here in the U.S. of platonic marriages. People who love each other, have the same interests and goals….but are not really looking for the traditional baggage that marriage often brings. The movement embraces same sex platonic marriage and heterosexual relationships. I read a interview where it was two women speaking. They said they had been friends for 30 years and they have the same goals in life, are not interested in having children….and not drawn to each other in a sexual manner. I think that is pretty cool. What could be better than having your best friend by your side forever.
