A person spends their entire life loving their father, who seemed like a good person. When they start seeing ghosts, they anxiously await seeing their father, to understand a little more about what happened in his life and what caused his death. Then, a 20-minute conversation with a complete stranger is enough for them not only to believe their father is no good, but to hate and despise the one they loved so much.

For God's sake, right? ML's feeling of love is absolutely worthless, and considering he's a lawyer and works a lot with the benefit of the doubt, he was completely weak in relation to his own father.

If he were 1/10th of the antagonist, it would be much better, because honestly, he only needed to analyze that he was never rich, so how could his father have contact with gangs and receive bribes, and yet the family now owns a food store?

I confess that episodes 13 and 14 were extremely tiring and very boring for me.

I enjoyed the drama, even with a lot of informative dialogue, because it basically talks about people and their pain in the most diverse areas of life.
I was also enjoying the main couple, the way they get to know each other and get used to each other's presence in their lives. I think my biggest problem was when I saw scenes of the main character with his ex (it's not a love triangle) and it really became clear that the chemistry between the two was infinitely greater than between the protagonists. Then the ending, where the synergy, words, and understanding between the protagonist and his ex became clearer, made me start to consider that the female protagonist was an intruder in the story.

I like all the couples, but I confess I have a lot of fun with Mr. Coo and the middle sister. At least for me, they're the kind of couple I'd like to see behave after they get together, and they deserve that cliché amusement park scene where he wears a tiara with plush ears.

I didn't like the forgiveness either. I get very annoyed when people force others to forgive someone without even knowing the context. Yes, I understand that she wants the main person to "free themselves" from the weight of resentment, but still, forgiveness needs to come from the heart.

Sometimes I wonder if Korea knows what true love is, because to convince us that the father isn't so bad, they showed the son's drawings that he tore up but then glued back together, and a subordinate saying that the father watched all the animations his son worked on. However, in 7 years he never made an effort to apologize to his son or was man enough to admit his mistake, so to think that seeing a drawing that was glued back together as a way to soften the heart of the viewer and believing that the guy deserves his son to come after him to reconcile is typical of someone who has no idea what "real fatherly love" means.

The guy kicked his wife out, and lost her. He disowned his son and almost lost him in an explosion, and even then he wasn't able to face the potential humiliation and personally apologize. That's why in scenes like that, I immediately skip ahead, because it makes me so angry.

This has happened to me before. I took a blow to the leg and it turned quite bruised, but I didn't take care of it as I should have and just left it to see if it would heal. A week later I was at work and I got up to have lunch and couldn't. I couldn't move my leg and had to be carried to the hospital.
When I got there I found out that the hematoma was serious, and because I hadn't taken care of it, it had turned into a huge internal clot, preventing the passage of blood. They cut a part of my thigh and put in a drain so that the blood could come out little by little, while the cut they made healed from the inside out. The healing process was very slow and uncomfortable, but I got better.

Regarding the guy in the drama, I have no idea how they're going to approach the topic, but I think it would be boring if he couldn't play anymore.

As for Mr. Coo, I think he drank too much because his beloved went on a date with his colleague.

Wow, I think this woman is one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever seen in dramas.

She's wonderful. And what I find interesting is that she manages to bring maturity to the role, making everything so light, even if the character is suffering, that we don't even realize how professional it is.

In Just Between Lovers it became clear why she managed to beat out a lot of established actresses in the auditions.

Besides that, she manages to have chemistry with all the actors she's worked with.

I really like the drama Live Up to Your Name, which is about a Joseon acupuncturist who travels to the present. I found it quite entertaining, but I also really like the actor who plays ML.

I see it this way: he's always felt super confident as a woman, but never as a man. I believe this goes back a long way, due to his father's temperament and all the discrimination he suffered for liking makeup, for example.
By becoming a girl, it was as if he managed to shed the insecure boyishness and become what he truly wanted to be. And I'm talking here much more about behavior than physical appearance.

So seeing him reclaim that boyishness and challenge himself to be himself without any kind of accessories is incredible. This doesn't mean he'll abandon the girlish costume, but that by working on his masculine identity, he'll be able to use gender reassignment no longer as a defense mechanism against society, but because he wants to.

When he dresses as a boy for Haruka, she wants him to love her no matter what, and since they met while he was wearing girlish clothes and the feeling arose that way, him constantly appearing as a boy now makes perfect sense, because he wants her to love him completely.

So I think it's great that he shows he doesn't need anything to be with Haruka. He accepts her insecurities, fears, and even a certain inferiority and awkwardness, so she can truly know him. That's genuine love. Meanwhile, Hakura, despite being scared at first, showed that she loves Haruka's heart, soul, and essence, regardless of how he's dressed.

I think this way the series addresses the topic of incredible sensitivity. It's difficult to open up like that to someone, and even more difficult to someone we love, because we want to be truly perfect for the other. However, they both accepted to show who they truly are, and that's why I love this couple so much.

I watched every episode of this drama and really enjoyed the flow. However, episode 12 was pretty bad, at least for me.

Episode 11 already presented some issues, focusing on looking at the twins' mother differently, because what she did was truly serious. However, what I notice is that Koreans tend to make you downplay the pain or rejection you might feel toward a character, creating extremely emotional scenarios to manipulate you into forgetting that the issue hasn't been resolved. It's practically victims begging for forgiveness for existing and being a pathway for someone so wonderful to commit something serious.

People, solve your problems, for God's sake.

Then we start in episode 10 with FL's mother helping with a case, and in episode 11, she decides to adopt a deaf cat, as if that would actually change anything about the fact that she literally rejected her disabled daughter. Then they portray the woman as sick after going days without food or sleep because her cat reacted to the vaccine, as if she couldn't just go to the vet to fix it. But it would be easier to stay home sick, so her daughter would show up and see how wonderful she is because she adopted a deaf cat. And the climax comes in episode 12, when the mother can't tell the difference between twins, confusing the girls (how convincing), even though the twin was previously portrayed with wavier hair. And the "daughter/niece," who recoils when calling the woman "mom" and then calls her "aunt," surprises the woman who, even at 23, didn't know her own daughter (who lives with relatives) could speak.

But everything is fine; the girl said she was a happy person, hugs her mother practically thanking her for abandoning her, and gives a bag of gifts to the recently arrived cat, making the level of knowledge about things that happen between families seem meaningless. Everyone is aware of a family adopting a cat, but an adult's ability to speak is completely unknown.

So these scenes are so unpleasant that they end up making me angrier than encouraging forgiveness. The writers create a character's profile, but they don't quite know where to go next. The same goes for SFL's quick lunch with her future sister-in-law (even without her knowing), which only served to advertise, for the third time, a facial product that renews your skin in 2 seconds, and sparked a conversation about SML's family's possible rejection of the age difference. SFL heard, wanted to end the relationship (again), and SML managed to work around the situation. Yes, but what about family? Didn't that seem important to SFL? So, it was resolved? Why, right? After all, we already had an "I love you" from both of them, and nothing more is needed.

And finally, we come to the main couple. A dinner, a match, just to make us understand that ML is completely against the... "age difference" (there she is again). He started a relationship because of the dog, but really... so what? Will he keep trying? Did he lose custody of the dog? Once again, a topic that only serves as a trigger for something to happen, but with no proper ending.

Instead of putting the ex after the FL for the hundredth time, why not use this time to end things? It was a longer episode than the others, but at the same time completely poorly written, full of holes, and it left me feeling very uncomfortable at the end. I don't know if the writer got tired at the end, but I did. It was a pretty boring ending, but aside from this episode, the others (episode 11, just for the record) were good.

I started watching without knowing it was a remake, but within the first few minutes I realized I'd already seen this story in the Japanese version and came here to MDL to confirm.

Well, I know actors need to be versatile, but the FL in the drama is a gifted person who gets so bored in everyday life that she creates these scenarios to challenge her own abilities. She always pushes the limits because she's addicted to it and takes pleasure in her colleagues' apprehension, which she can't feel due to her high IQ.

The problem is that the Korean actress, despite enjoying the dramas she delivers, was a bit off-key when taking on this character, as it has a freer, more eccentric profile, disconnected from our reality, and quite limitless. For that, we would need someone who naturally isn't restrained when it comes to acting, but what I see is that she goes from one extreme to the other to the point where I couldn't connect the actress with the character, resulting in a somewhat strange result. I hope she finds a balance as the series progresses.

Another important point is that in the original drama, FL didn't care much about looking sexy or pretty, as if, in her peculiar way of thinking, unlike ours (as average beings), that wasn't important at all. And I think that in the Korean version, both in the promotional material and in some parts of the episode, they tried to portray FL as a sexy, intelligent woman, when in reality, that's far from being a concern for the character.

I really liked the original version, so I hope this one turns out just as good.

There's a 16-year age difference, and even though they could be fathers, it's not very common for someone to become a father at 16.

However, even if they could, that doesn't mean much. In fact, considering their ages, I think it's a very acceptable age difference.

I don't know if it's because of my age, but I see that people here generally have a lot of issues with the age difference, almost as if it were something absurd or criminal. We're talking about a relationship between two adults. I don't know if the drama will go that way, but I think if they decide to pursue a relationship, I think they would do each other a world of good.

From the beginning, he's always acted straight. In fact, even when he dresses as a girl, he claims that his friend trying something out with him made him certain that he actually likes girls.
According to Shu, he dresses this way because he's more confident in himself and his talents when he dresses as a girl, whereas Hikaru is more insecure as a boy.

I absolutely love this drama. The chemistry between the two leads is excellent, they're excellent in their roles, and I'm impressed by how they change their expressions: FL completely changed when he was on the runway, and ML already showed a different personality when he's a boy.}

Definitely a romantic comedy I needed, and the only downside is having to wait a week for the next episode.

I'm enjoying it and reading a lot of positive comments here.

That's true. I've always been very independent, doing my own thing without asking for help, and I started working very early. At one point in my life, I had an illness that left me with no memory or movement, but later my sister told me that I kept forcing myself to walk and do everything quickly. She said that once, she forgot to close my bedroom door, and when she remembered, I was already near her in the kitchen. It was quite difficult to get there, but I managed, gradually getting up and holding onto the walls to reach her place.

I mean, doing things without waiting for people is already a characteristic of mine, so I find it strange that she's lost some of her characteristic behaviors, regardless of her memory.

I understand he was defending his client, and I think he intentionally overstepped his bounds, to destabilize and undermine any semblance of credibility in the witness. Was it unpleasant to see him like that? Definitely, but I know he did it on purpose so his client would be acquitted beyond a shadow of a doubt. For example, if he were the defense attorney for the artist who stole the painting in episode 6, he would have massacred the mentally disabled girl at the trial because he only cares about his client. So, even though I was disgusted by his lack of sensitivity, I understand he was doing his job.

However, I think the worst part for me was the fact that he insisted on defending the guy. This bothered me deeply, because it was as if he wanted "redemption" and, in a very arrogant way, forced his presence and performance at the trial.

I think that of all the episodes of this drama, episode 7 was the only poorly written one. It's as if it somehow didn't connect with the others. It lacked flow, and the episode felt like a bunch of cutaways, with several completely random side stories. I think things picked up again in episode 8, so I hope it stays good until the end.

I don't know how they'll direct the plot between the protagonists, even though I know all the elements for romance are there, from ML's ending of the previous relationship to FL's clear interest and the possibility of a mature relationship with the security of an open and honest conversation. However, even if we don't have the romance itself, they could do it like in the drama Life, where everything was built up over the episodes so that at the end they gave us confirmation that the relationship would actually happen.

In any case, we'll have to wait.

Anyway, I really needed to go through the case, as I have a personal issue very similar to what happened, so I couldn't watch it, which made today's episode a bit too much for me. I hope tomorrow's episode will reconnect me with the series.

I don't think it's the boy, because the brothers are 18 years apart, making him very young, and the crime happened 15 years ago. Considering he's about 25, and since he's still a college student, he would have been only 10 at the time of the crime, and in my opinion, he would have been too young to have injured the man in the head like that and pushed him down the stairs.

I thought it might have been someone from the lawyer's office, which is why she approached him. However, even though they're married, she has no contact with anyone in her husband's circle of friends (at least not yet).

But the question is: Why would she do this to her ex-boyfriend?

It seems (even though dramas love to make us think something and then show it's nothing like that, even if it convinces a total of 0 people with the so-called "justification") that they were a couple. She got pregnant, he accidentally found out, and when he went to celebrate, he learned that his wife had aborted the baby.

I know they could have agreed to have children, but I find it strange that this happened based on his reaction when he entered the house. He was genuinely happy about it, which wouldn't be a normal reaction from someone who doesn't want children.

Now, in addition to being with someone they already knew (which makes you question whether he was ever loved), the woman also gets pregnant in this new relationship. Seriously, if I wanted to do this to my ex, considering that the end of our relationship was due to this reason (since he thinks about it constantly and it seems to be an unhealed wound in his heart), I would NEVER create a scenario where our meeting could happen, like "dog custody," for example, or showing up at a hospital where I clearly know he is. I would only do this if I had truly told him beforehand or hated him deeply.

Sure, they can justify her actions or say that she found out the baby had problems or that it was a miscarriage, but that's not quite what it seems, since she wasn't that upset when she told him the news.
