I feel like Tae Hyeong's confession was a bit abrupt...I mean I get he felt accepted for the first time in his life but he was presented as a prideful guy and his personality kinda made a u turn. I'm not annoyed at him, I actually like him better that the ones who deny it for ages and get all petty like man babies (and he's also doing a decent job with the kiddo!) but there was no transition in his arc so it feels like he was replaced with his twin haha I have this feeling that in every drama lately the characters are supposed to confess by the 6th episode? It feels too plotty imo and less organic. Also I hope they'll drop quickly the triangle because it's really too boring. The guy is coincidentally her college crush, her boss and her landlord? It's overkill even for dramaland hahaha And to be fair I want to see the interactions with the baby, that should be the focus of this series, not the corporate office romance Not relevant but as an artist I'm disappointed at the gen ai opening/ending. I've seen such beautiful art in many older dramas to think these talented artists are going to be replaced with generic 3d Disney-style models is upsetting
I was watching it because I'm in a slump but I think it's kinda difficult for me to like it because my circumstances are similar to that baby. I know this will end happily (and the guy is also filthy rich as usual xD) so at least there's that, but the fl's mother really triggered me in the wrong way. I don't even know why I'm writing this here, maybe I'm just idk wanting to put it down. It's a rom com so I don't think they'll dwell too much with her mother so I'll try see another episode
Am I alone in thinking the drinking culture in dramas is really lame?
I agree. Alcohol is cancerous and should be portrayed a bit more carefully imo, especially if the product is destined to younger audiences. Ps. I'm not here to tell people what to do, I just think the concept of getting wasted like it's an hobby can be deleterious
You hit this right on the dot, I couldn't put my finger on what was the biggest issue and then you reminded me…
Yes, the narrator was a character himself and leaving him out just changed the whole mood! Now that I think about it, this drama has a lot more in common with the other one with the same male lead, "my secret romance" than jane the virgin.
Honestly I'm watching it because I don't know what else to watch atm but since I loved the original Jane the virgin is hard for me not to compare the drama to it. I think they just removed important parts, especially in comedic terms: - there is no narrator and that's a big disappointment for me, I loved that sort of breaking 4th wall and his commentary during the whole tv show - In jtv there were all sort of trippy scenes mostly sprung from the characters' thoughts, with animations and costumes that here I didn't see (this I learnt is a typical telenovelas thing) - Rogelio was totally hilarious but his counterpart so so for now - the og show was about representation of latinos in usa, and I think it was an important pillar for the whole story, since in the kdrama they aren't a minority (I suppose? Maybe the fact the mom is unmarried and dates a lot is a bit unusual?) I doesn't hit the same way - They just don't really talk about sex here? They totally exaggerated the 2ml...I mean who is so scared of touching hands nowadays?
I know I'm being too judgy, but I had some expectations and I feel sad. they could've made the show rotating around makjangs which are very similar to telenovelas in terms of absurdity. I'll keep watching for now but I'm not really waiting for new eps like I'm doing for "showtime"
what is he suppose to do in ep 2 toilet scene if he wasn't interrupted ?
âno big dealâ⊠like he just tried to climb up the cubicle of the toilet she was hiding in, in a fit of anger and ultimately unzipping his pantsâŠlike wtf. Whatâs funny? even without the harassment he is being too much⊠just because his masculinity is too fragile. I donât want to mock him but honestly it looked very bad, I understand she made a mistake that damaged his reputation so I was okay for him being angry butâŠwith words. Imagine if he wasnât the hot male lead but another âuglierâ, fatter and/or older employee climbing the toiletâŠI think yâall can picture it since the perverted trope has been used a lot for plot purposes. I hope to see her pointing out the issue because he literally gave her nightmares!!
I think it was interesting to read the whole exchange but if you feel more at ease, I donât have any interest in being prideful about it!
Just to conclude I wish to point out that my comment was a critique: 1) because I felt uncomfortable about the âLuca has no shoesâ subplot (in my opinion totally unnecessary. I know there is poverty in some regions but I think it should have been portrayed more respectfully) 2) because I feel like everything is âwesternizedâ nowadays, and not always in a good way. I made the mistake of assuming the âwhiteningâ thing was a western influence, judging by some behaviors I may have misinterpreted. I sincerely apologise for that. but for the record it was absolutely not my intention to say âxâ country is better than ây â or anything of that sort. Iâm sorry if I came out as something I donât want to be.
wish the best to you too and good luck with your studies! (history is really a hard subject, but itâs important to know about the past and passing it generation after generation! )
In this comment section some people said « Itâs just a fiction » and that we overreact then rely on this…
and I think all this could be avoided just by doing actual researches instead of writing based on stereotypes. For what? itâs not even an âimportantâ part of the plot, just an expedient because there has to be a reunion between the two leads. When the ml said âI wonder if Luca still has shoesâ I really wanted to eject myself from this planet. All this is tiring
I haven't seen this yet but after reading some people's thoughts on the controversy, how can the man have a "white…
I think here the âwhite saviorâ is more referred to the feeling of superiority of people coming from wealthier countries. Since most of the time caucasian people is involved, it was named like that.
