IM YourOnlyOne

Ooohhh!! I love this far more than Mad Concrete Love (which I already dropped) and Climax (which I might drop if E02 also fail to pique my interest).

This is what I want from shows of this type and genre: complexity and philosophical.

The ironic thing with "Dubai Chewy Cookie Chocolate" is that it isn't even "Dubai" at all.

1. The "Dubai Chewy Cookie Chocolate" is a Korean invention inspired by and based on the "Dubai Chocolate".

2. This "Dubai Chocolate" is itself not "Dubai" either. The idea came from a British-Egyptian entreprenuer, she is not a chef nor baker. The recipe was actually purely developed by a Filipino pastry chef she partnered with, and they released under her brand name.

In other words, the "Dubai Chewy Cookie Chocolate" that is very popular in Korea since 2025 is (a) a Korean invention, and (b) inspired by and based on "Dubai Chocolate", a Filipino-made recipe. Not a single thing in it is "Dubai". It's purely Korean __and__ Filipino.

For the semi-finals focusing on regional flavors and unique Korean inventions, it is very ironic they always talk about "Dubai Chewy Cookie Chocolate" and "Dubai Chocolate" without acknowledging that it's purely Korean and Filipino, respectively.

Sure, the idea came from a British-Egyptian entrepreneur, but ideas are not Copyrightable nor Patentable. 🤪 And regardless, she's not Dubaian at all. The only thing "Dubai" in it is her flagship store is in Dubai. 😁

Sometimes the way we name our products is very silly. We all want to be proud of our own and promote our respective cultures, bet we name our products that guarantees the majority of people will misunderstand its origins.

Koreans, be proud of "Dubai Chewy Cookie Chocolate", it's a Korean invention. Just like how Filipinos are with "Dubai Chocolate".

Hopefully in Episode 8 we'll hear someone mention that.

The fathers of the ML and FL were in competition.
The ML's father was framed. The real corrupt was the FL's father.
The ML's father found solid proof against the FL's father, so he was murdered and framed to cover it all up.

Let's call out the main plot!

(Potential spoiler!!)

Aha! I like the contrasting combination. ML is the comedy half while the FL is the drama side.

They just need to mesh the two sides better so the flow is smooth. Other than that, it's enjoyable.

Of course 👍🏽

The constant confusion about "Romance as a genre".

The word "Romance" simply means "Rome" or "from Rome" or by "Romans".

- Languages that evolved from Roman/Latin are called "Romance Languages".
- Literature written in Romance Languages are called "Romance" genre.
- The "Romantic Era", or "Romanticism", was a European period where Europeans were looking back at the time period of the emergence of Romance (as a genre) literature, using it to counter rationalism. Meaning, it's all about individualism, nature, emotions, individualism.

In other words:
1. "Romance Languages" doesn't mean those languages are "romantic love".
2. "Romance as a genre" doesn't mean it is mandatory to have "romantic love". Based on the origin of this genre up to the present time, this genre is about taking on a heartfelt mission to save someone or change something. Being chilvaric—and chivalric doesn't mean rescuing a damsel in distress.
3. "Romantic Era" doesn't mean Europeans were all lovey-dovey touchy-feely romantically involved. Nor does "Romanticism" mean being or espousing being romantically involved.

So, yes, this work qualifies as "Romance" as a genre.

I hope that makes it clearer and less confusing.

It's a genre not "romantic love". It is correct. Romance as a genre has nothing to do with "romantic love", it's just one aspect of it but not mandatory.

And the natural reaction in that scene was to stay away from those flying fireworks. Instead, he tailed them closer and closer. 🤷🏽

LOL, I don't want him to be my doctor if he doesn't know safety first and prioritization. 🤣

That was a very weak story for obvious second suspect.

1. He didn't kill anyone until the last episode. He is clean as far as homicide and attempted homicide is concerned throughout the series.
2. He simply pave the way, quietly, for the real suspect to do his misplaced revenge.
3. If he wasn't caught in the video of the influencers, he wouldn't even resort to killing the kids. He just want to cover-up his stupidity in accidentally killing his "contact".

Which brings us back to the main suspect. His revenge is misplaced. But, as I've said previously, none of it would've happened if he practiced "safety first" and knew that his priority is the safety of his pregnant wife instead of acting a hero because of errant kids. Like what his pregnant wife said, "leave them be".

So, no matter which angle we look at this, it was his fault and he's blaming the world for it. Then he ran away by killing himself. He's no coward, he was pathetic.

As for police squad leader, we don't need his story. It could've ended with E07 perfectly fine. Because of that, I'm giving it a 7 because E07 is the perfect ending.

As of E08, last episode.

For a doctor, he isn't practicing safety first. And for someone driving for his pregnant wife, the more he should've known his priorities.

1. The moment they encountered those kids, the should've stopped.
2. He should've listened to his wife.
3. The moment he saw his wife reacting badly, he should've stopped.

We can let go when he suddenly did a U-turn which caused their SUV to flip, he was panicking for his pregnant wife. Fine. He's excused for that.

However, taking revenge and by murdering kids for his mistake in driving? There's a loose bolt in his head. And we go back to the first three points earlier, if he stopped, none of it would've happened. Just the first point alone, forget the second and third points.

Because he thinks being a hero is far more important than his pregnant wife and her safety, everything spiraled out of control. Yes, the kids were wrong, but you can't blame them for your own mistakes.

As of E06.

You don't need to spoon feed app updates. Do they need to show that the characters are taking a bath daily, sleeping, relieving themselves every so often daily, commuting, and all those mundane things?

The golden rule in creative writing is: Don't include anything that doesn't add to the plot. Just because they don't know who created the app and they didn't show a scene related to that, does it mean the app was never updated.

Remember, the app was part of a very elaborate trap by the developer himself. Obviously, he constantly updated it.

Now we need a Do Rami spin-off. Come on Netflix. We want to watch what made Do Rami viral world-wide. 😝

You can stop.

All your complaints were answered in the episodes you have yet to watch.

This is what you call creating drama and friction. It is standard creative writing format. If you're complaining already by the intro episodes, then it means it is working very well, or to put it another way, you're the target market. 😁

The 《Notting Hill》 of Korea.
