Holy forking shirtballs, this is the weirdest and most combative comment section I've ever seen for a drama. At the risk of setting myself up as a target - because it seems like everyone is either shooting or getting shot, I like this show. I like the falling in love with the bodyguard trope and second chance love is one of my favorite tropes, so I'm all good on the themes. The pacing works for me and I'm glad the FLs are opening up about how they feel for each other (E5). I'm looking forward to what comes next. I don't require perfection, just GL themed entertainment, and I'm entertained.
I like LingOrm as an acting pair and since acting is the job description for an actor, I'll assume they are pretending to be in love in the show and it's none of my business whether they are or not, or what their sexual orientation is, so I'm not offended if they date the entire population of Southeast Asia, serially or collectively, in their off time.
I do not understand the circle jerk, bordering on warfare, over who is the "best couple", or what is the "best show", or the personal attacks on those whose opinions differ. My bottom line is I am really truly deeply grateful these shows exist. I wish they'd been around when I was growing up, because knowing other girls felt the same way would have been a massive comfort in a desperately lonely time. It is not hyperbole to acknowledge that sometimes people die when they believe they are profoundly different and somehow flawed, and alone and afraid they always will be, so content like this can literally save lives. So maybe tread a little more lightly on the scorched earth criticisms.
I'm glad to see Tawan back in uniform... I won't hide the fact that I think the writing is absolutely atrocious,…
Had a similar thought. I'm overdosed on school based GL, but then I realized that maybe adolescents are the ones who most need to see that there are girls like them, that they are not alone in feeling the way they do. I realized who I was attracted to very early in life but grew up in a small village and thought I was the only one who felt that way. Knowing I wasn't would have saved me a lot of angst.
Are you one of those people that can't separate real life from entertainment?
You are spamming the same comment multiple times. It's beginning to sound personal. Did he steal your girlfriend, best you for a job, graduate from a better university, or become more successful in his career? Seriously, what is your dog in this fight?
If there was a way to rate this higher than 10, I would do it. The script is amazing. There were no weak characters, no contrived plot points, no unrealistic dialogue. Every actor involved deserves an award because it must have been gut wrenching to bare themselves unflinchingly scene after heartbreaking scene to play characters with such range and complexity. Every single actor owned their character and more than did it justice. The child actors especially deserve recognition: to be that young and represent such depth of emotion and truth in their characters is truly impressive.
So much of this series was personal to me. I, too, adopted an abused child though unconventional and, initially, illegal means. Like the script here, I was eventually able to make it legal. The fear, physical danger, emotional chaos, financial devastation, and career compromise were all perfectly depicted in "Mother." Everyone involved told this story brilliantly.
It seems like with each GL series there is at least one script element that gives me a genuine WTAF moment. HS got to this one fairly early in E3. So, just a thought here, but can we NOT normalize drugging your date? Because that's point of no return creepy, not to mention actual assault. Also, completely out of left field based on the drugger's long time crush on the druggee (not a real word probably, but you follow, right?). Also, bizarre and unnecessary. Also, WTH - a woman creator and a woman scriptwriter blithely doing this for no good plot reason makes me want to throw something at my screen, but I won't because I paid good money for it. Still...
Criticizing successful women is the world's favorite sport, though it gets particularly vicious in Korea where…
Your juvenile name calling, baseless generalizations, undisguised biases, and misdirected ire are a de facto demonstration of pretty much everything I stated. Thanks, nothing like a real time demonstration.
You don't know me from Adam's house cat, so you don't know what life experiences have informed my perceptions. You don't know which fandoms, if any, I follow. You don't have the faintest clue which actresses I support or why.
Perhaps, secure in the safety of your mother's basement, buttressed by the rousing support of the www manosphere, you have convinced yourself you are an expert on me, on feminism, on misogyny (which, btw, you should learn to spell if you're dead set on convincing people of your expertise), on what helps or harms "the movement" that I sincerely doubt you genuinely give a double f*ck about.
Or perhaps not, because I don't know you either.
My comment is about my perceptions based on my life experiences, none of which require your approval or validation or are informed by your wild imaginings about my intent. Your uninformed pablum spewing bears no relation to anything I wrote. Instead you invented an argument about me claiming x was misogynist when I did nothing of the sort, never used the word. You brought it up then wailed about misuse of the word - weird, since you were the only one using it up to that point.

And you ridicule acknowledgement of misogyny hoping to distract from the fact that it exists and is in play. It's still misogyny even when women are perpetrating it.
History and patriarchy have taught them that opportunities for women come in small measure, that anytime one woman gets more, another gets less. Competition by design, to keep us bickering with each other, keeping each other down, reinforcing stereotypes and clearing the land of opportunity for -- guess who?
She is not deserve to be in lead role or a role in film that so many other talented actress
Why? Jisoo has just as much right to pitch for and accept a role as any other actress. There are a lot of talented actors, but the director picks the one that they believe is right for the part. That's what happened here.
So many whiny people on here. It hasn't even been released yet, how about you refrain from judging until after…
Criticizing successful women is the world's favorite sport, though it gets particularly vicious in Korea where it's not unusual to hound a woman to death. The more successful the woman, the more gleeful the attacks. They'll always claim it's justified, because in their mind a woman daring to reach for more is, in itself, justification for vitriol.
Seriously, they should stop making such series, it's getting boring from Thailand.If you are so stupid that you…
I'm not a fan of the horror genre, yet somehow I find it easy not to dip into the comment section of horror flicks to sh*t on those who do enjoy them. It's fun not to be a troll.

Netflix and chill, please.
