At one time or another, they each lost their positions. Did you not finish watching the series?

There is seriously something off about raging k-netizens. I genuinely believe they are incapable of feeling good about themselves unless they're destroying the character of some celebrity. Hopefully, I will never meet one of these bloodthirsty creatures in the wild.

A commoner is one who is neither royalty, nor nobility. That's the actual dictionary definition. IU's character is a commoner. Deliberately. That is one of the characteristics mentioned in the early episodes as making her from "the wrong social class" and unsuitable as a bride for the Prince.

IU is a commoner. And why does it need to compare to Royal Nemesis? Is there some obscure rule that we are not allowed to enjoy more than one drama?

"she looks like a tomboy"... Okay, how is this a problem? Not every woman looks like a femme fatale.

A woman died because of a traffic accident and there's no reason to believe Bambi caused it or even contributed to it. Nothing to suggest she grabbed the steering wheel, cut the brake lines, or smeared duck grease on the windshield.

Bambi not loving Zee the way Zee wanted isn't recklessness, it's just a run of the mill "shite happens" situation.

True. Stories would be deadly boring if every character was fully self aware and always well behaved.

I think idealizing ML and ignoring hIs initial mistakes fails to give the character credit for the ways he changes and matures as a man and partner.

"...invading her personal space, breaking the roommate rules he set, gaslighting her about her sleepwalking actions, and attempting to control her social interactions" is not green flag behavior. So, while ML was definitely not a red flag, he had some, at minimum, yellow flag moments, as did the FL. Neither came from malice, but from fear of being vulnerable after being hurt badly because of past vulnerabilities.

The beauty in this script for me was that it started with acknowledged flaws and self limiting behavior in both leads and gave them room to grow and build trust with each other. In the end, a relationship that had begun with youthful infatuation evolved into one based on earned trust and deep understanding.

The lukewarm reviews almost persuaded me to give this series a pass, but I'm very glad I didn't. As a suspense drama, Siren's Kiss is better than many in terms of both plot and execution. The story is layered, but linear enough to keep multiple characters - and potential villains - logically in play.

The path to the who done it, and this, and the other thing was enough to keep me interested throughout 12 episodes - and anyone who cares to check my profile can see I'll drop a show in a hot minute if it doesn't challenge me. Most importantly, it avoided the fatal flaws of sexist stereotypes, condescension, and stupidity. The cast, every one of them from the key players to the supporting actors, did their roles justice.

Sads. Han Ji Min is one whose projects I always watch for the diversity of her roles. The Light in Your Eyes and Miss Baek are two of my favorites.

Outstanding performance in her debut project.

Thirty-Nine and The Glory are two of the best K-dramas I've seen. Both center women's experiences told in women's voices highlighting women's strength and agency from a woman's perspective. Both also feature strong men in supporting roles as supportive characters. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't be a fit for this list.

Are we watching the same series? Because what I saw was on a heat level of a G-rated Disney movie.

Sweet. My two favorite scenes were E1 when half the people in the Board Room suddenly disappeared and E2 when Rin and Khem were having a beach visit with their invisible children.

The script and direction for this show are godawful. I don't know which one had the bright idea to have Pun regress to an baby-voiced intellectual and emotional tween in her interactions with Ploy, but it's so bad I have to wonder if the FLs are cringing as hard as the viewers. I've only made it through E5 by playing sudoku on my phone to distract me from 90% of what's happening on screen because I'm determined to power through long enough to see if it can find its footing.

The scenes the two leads have with others let their acting chops shine through, showing that Memi Muanfun Baesakul and Ice Amena Gul are not the problem. Right now, though, the cringe factor is obscuring any chemistry that could have developed. It's like watching an adult pursue an especially immature adolescent.

Weird comment on an actress who has been steadily busy throughout her career. I see you working hard to undermine her, but apparently directors and producers aren't buying what you're trying so, so hard to sell. What did Lee Soo Kyung ever do to you?

Fun and fast moving; good action scenes; not knee slapping laugh out loud hilarious, but a lot of chuckles and a bit of irony. Fast paced enough that 1:45 went by too quickly.

Since E2, the only plot device carrying this series is stupidity, in the form of ML's indecipherable decision not to tell FL why he ghosted her 5 years ago. He has a reason, a very good, perfectly understandable reason, a reason that FL would accept without hesitation, but he...just...doesn't.

ML is utterly, openly lovesick over FL and will go to any lengths to win her back - except tell her this thing that there is no reason not to tell her. Yet, even by E5 he just can't be arsed.

The tension between the second leads is the only thing that's kept me around this long, but I'm not willing to slog through another 5 episodes waiting for ML to say, "Oh, by the way..."

So, where is the headline about Woo Bin?

Then what is the point of emphasizing "after marriage" to the extent that it needs to be in the headline. Perhaps you mean we'll, but I think you're naïve.
