Fictional scenario based on true events, but instead of saying something like "we will destroy them", the focus is negotiation and reaching a peaceful solution. Unfortunately, your judgement is definitely clouded by your perception of what right even in fiction because this show is far from cringe, and even if you consider that you should know that this is a K-Drama so it is expected that it will show feelings and moments of vulnerability and intimacy in so many ways. The plot..? The plot is perfect since it fits the story and gets the message across of a couple that opened up to their real feelings and was able to overcome all obstacles. I honestly don't understand what you expect to find in a K-Drama within the romance genre if you insist beyond that you just don't like it because you chose to victimize yourself and feel offended over something that is fiction... (even when it is a fact that a certain country did attack another country terrorizing their people, killing, raping and kidnapping innocent bystanders triggering a counter attack that unfortunately involved more innocent people thanks to the same terrorist group not releasing the hostages and hiding between civilians...). We should be over this topic, but the truth remains; this is fiction, the focus was on a peaceful negotiation instead of more violence after an obvious a abusive attack from a terrorist organization, and a plot and romance that for the genre and the story.
Hey Drama Lover! Can you spoil me a little bit... I heard that there is a love triangle with the kinda annoying guy that is not really a threat, but spends too much time with FL and in what episode do the main leads get together?
The show was so bad and overall the plot was boring and cringy. If by personal issues you're referring to the…
Because "The Mystery" was very well executed and you would be lying if say that you saw every that happened in the end from the beginning or that it was obvious... The whole point of mystery is give you enough information to keep you guessing, but not enough to put the whole picture together. Yes, this simple romance show deserved to use a political scenario, because it showcased both leads at the top of their careers which are both related to news and international events which shouldn't come as a surprise because the first episode does the exact same thing where the female lead is working on the news and the male lead was talking about a fictional international conflict, with the difference that are least in the last one the focus was the negotiations which means that nobody was hurt... Besides, this is a known real life scenario that actually happened, so why act like it never happened. Additionally, it has always happened that writers since the dawn of time use real life scenarios to create fictional ones...

You are making a storm in a glass of water. Nobody is supporting violence in the show. The whole point of using a real hostages situation as reference was to show us the male lead as a negotiator in very tense international scenario. It is debatable who is right or wrong, but that's not the intention here, but instead, it is to show that at least in this fictional scenario all reaches a peaceful solution thanks to the negotiations...

Yes, because nobody is taking sides and the whole point was to allow both male leads to shine at the top of their careers using a known international event as inspiration. An event that happened, for a country with a group of individuals that did take hostages, but instead of making them the evil, only use that example to allow the male lead to show in a few light as a negotiator which blames no one side but enforcers the idea that all sides were able to reach a peaceful situation.
Yes, "If the plot is bad and cringe", but the point is that it is far from it in this show. The plot is very well written and the romance is very good.
Again, you can disagree, but labels are not good arguments. Saying the whole show is bad for 10 minutes of controversy and misunderstanding is nonsense.

On the contrary, there are a lot of information and hints dropped as the story progresses to form a full picture by the end which is how mystery and suspense work. This is why I mentioned that I even recommend to watch this at least twice and a good observer will quickly recognize important elements to the story and how everything falls into place.
All good romance stories have tropes and cliches, but what matters is that the writing, the acting and the chemistry allows you to immerse yourself and enjoy those elements when executed correctly, which was the case here.
The character development and romance was also on point. If you have watched a few dramas you should know that romance in Dramaland is not only hugs and kissing, but caring and have that person living rent free in your head. It is clearly shown from episode 1 that the male lead likes her and care for her even when he hides it, and soon after you learn that she also likes him, but is not aware of his feelings for her thanks to his plan and his protection of her.
Every interaction between the main leads allows the viewer to see how different and more honest they become with every conversation.
Unfortunately, it is a fact that a group from a country took hostages from another country which caused a chain of events that we all hope never happen again to anybody, but the work of the female lead is related to news and the male lead is a negotiator so it makes perfect sense to have a scene like that, which again, unfortunately is not far from reality but they had the precautions to create a fictional scenario.
I cannot help but to notice that some people just decided to trick themselves into hating this and other shows because they feel offended by fictional scenarios.

I couldn't disagree more..! Every second contributed to the main plot, romance and character development one way or the other!
Different than other shows where a theme is chosen, but forgotten along the way, the whole dynamic around phone calls remain throughout the story.
The mystery was great; to the point that I believe is worth it watching the drama at least twice only to catch those smalls details that make the big picture by the end.
The enemies to lovers trope is perfectly executed with only a very light love triangle and good balance when it comes to the plot and the romance.
Finally, I don't see how the show stands for genocide in that controversial scene. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that scene or the show overall in that matter.
This is a great story with thriller vibes and perfect chemistry! Enemies to lovers trope with no break up, but a short separation during the first half of the last episode, but it fits very well with the romance and the story like everything else!
I encourage everyone to keep some of your beliefs and personal issues to yourself. This drama is fiction, and one executed very well giving us what it promised in a good plot, romance, character development and more... let's enjoy these shows by what they are instead of trying to talk nonsense based on nothing really...
