Unidentifiable

Yeah I'm actively ignoring the autism representation, though it's a bit hard as I'm autistic myself so it's slightly personal.

She's plenty beautiful, she is simply not entirely youthful. The lines on her face are delicate, and I think they also make her look a bit knowledgeable and wise.

Yeah, if he couldn't have children, he would have just told her. That's a much easier, more straightforward factual problem than just, "I'm unhappy," which can be hard to express.

Although this is a romance drama and thus not entirely realistic, it's these relatable moments and details that keep it grounded.

Hm, you make a fair point. If I'd seen this 5 years ago when I was still discovering Kdramas, I would've loved it.

I like the tone of this. It manages to be completely serious in its silliness.

Jumping in here, to say thanks for the clarification. I'm personally unfamiliar with the legalities of marriage, even in my own, much less conservative country. To my mind, a divorce has always been classified as just a slightly more official break-up, as it requires paperwork (I don't know many people who have ever even married) ... so while I understood the MLs reasonings, I didn't understand why he considered his actions necessary - they seemed way over the top.

Your character analysis was spot on, though I do wonder why he became a lawyer if he doesn't like conflict - his job is to literally win an argument, though maybe it's only personal conflict he wants to avoid.

I like both their characters, they have both strengths and flaws. I understand the ML and the FL, well, she reminds me so much of myself that I can't hate her.

Episode 5 is not until next week.

Wow, they actually did it! I thought I was going to drop this drama this episode, but they convinced me. Kind of. The MLs reasoning is the most believable after actual cheating. No dumb, dramatic plottish reasons for it! Just, he really, really needs some character growth and to learn communication skills.

Also I'm getting sick of this hate I'm seeing on the FL. Like, she acted how she did according to what she believed (and the ML went to great lengths to ensure she believed) and so her hurt, and therefore anger and sometimes irrational feelings were fully justified. Her personality is forceful, righteous and a little single-minded (like me haha). Also, the heart is not neat and linear, she can date the 2ML and still have complicated leftover feelings for the ML.

These characters are flawed, and therefore their decisions are not always... the smartest.

Aaand episode 5 was boring. The whole premise needed more context to be believable, and it needed a stronger build-up because the intended emotional impact was so off. At the very least that arc needed more than one episode, but I'm also glad it only lasted one episode. Hopefully episode 6 is better.

Thanks. I was anxious posting this because in the past, some people have been incredibly nasty when I have expressed my honest opinion on certain dramas. To the point where now, I wonder why it's even worth commenting. And I'm not even sure why I did here.

My sceptical mind is pretty sure that's the point.

Tempted to watch episode 12, but seeing the comments bellow, it looks like I should wait until it finishes next week...

Episode 4 was extra fun. What an emotional punch that twist was. It's all a bit too neat and easy for an investigation, but I forgive it for being well put together and fitting into just an hour.

The first two episodes are fun. I haven't seen the rest yet.

Plenty of people did like it. Depends on if you think you will. I'll tell you this: The first episode is pretty indicative of what to expect for the rest of it. Please don't go relying on my one comment.

Yeah, they really shouldn't be compared, though I'm guilty. I started Big Mouth after I started this, and as a result Big Mouth was just lacking - in tension, in seriousness, in believability, it was pale in comparison. It's a shame they aired around the same time.

I'm probably poking the fire here, but I don't understand why this was so popular. I tried to watch it 3 times, and managed to get to episode 9 - that's over 9 hours of genuinely trying to like it, but it was just so boring. I didn't get it.

This drama did some new things for a kdrama, so kudos for that. Maybe its immense popularity will spark more fantasy dramas, and I love fantasy.

But this one, I just didn't know what it was supposed to achieve. I didn't know what the point of the story was. I couldn't become invested, and I didn't care what was going to happen. A lot of fantasy tropes in a kdrama setting was newish, but not fresh, because I'm familiar with both.

The characters were at times funny, sometimes likeable, but not all the cast was good. For example, I found that past romance between the FL and Seo Yul excruciating to watch. His acting was awful, and I simply did. Not. Care.

Feel free to correct me, to attempt to convince me to give it another go by saying what you loved. Just please don't take my opinions personally, because they're about the drama, not the people who loved it.

Yeah, but I can still hope. At least for now.

I must be in the minority, but I genuinely hope the ML did cheat and it wasn't just a misunderstanding. Why? Because for the life of me, I cannot conceive of an adequate reason to lie. In my opinion, hurtful lies are much, much worse than hurtful truths.

Also, the MLs body language whenever the FL brings it up is interesting. He goes quiet and doesn't even try to defend himself. The FL doesn't see it through her justifiable anger, but there is clearly an untold story there. I just hope it's believable, and that the writing doesn't pull some noble sacrifice rubbish.

Whatever the reason, the characters have some growing to do.
