Wow, that's rare: Filipino-Chinese-Spanish. It's usually Filipino-Chinese. Filipino-Spanish is actually very rare as per 21st Century genetic studies—contrary to claims by school textbooks.
The craziest and weirdest Japanese film I've seen to date. Nothing makes sense but that's the whole point of it: nothing should makes sense.
Be warned though. Outside of Japan this qualifies as Rated-R. While there were no adult scenes, the theme is definitely adult for non-Japanese. But in Japan, this is not exactly adult (they have various 'levels'). This is more on ecchi than ero, though one could argue it's ero.
Regardless, you've been warned. If you're not familiar with the Japanese culture, you might get offended. This is comedy but definitely for mature audiences only.
If you are confused, it is because MDL messed things up and they don't want to fix it.
This MDL "Special" episode was an invention of MDL. It does NOT exist at all as described by their own synopsis. It's 2025 July and the synopsis hasn't changed: "This shows a summary of Jiang Chen's perspective of the whole drama."
The original listing in MDL only have 23 episodes, which is also wrong.
Reputable sources and official sources (like official OTT) all have 24 episodes listed.
The 24th episode MDL is refusing to acknowledge is NOT about "This shows a summary of Jiang Chen's perspective of the whole drama" (the synopsis of this mysterious "Special" episode by MDL). Far from it!
We all gave up correcting these errors. MDL, as usual, knows better than the official sites, reputable sources, and the production companies.
is this the episode 24? the one where FL goes somewhere for an audition and the ML went to get her? because i…
Someone totally messed it up in MDL and MDL doesn't want to fix it to this day. The original should have 24 episodes because more reputable listings than MDL, and official sources like Viu, have 24 episodes but MDL only listed 23.
Then MDL claims there is a "Special" episode that is from the perspective of another character which doesn't align with what Episode 24 is about.
Simply, this MDL "Special" episode doesn't exist and they don't want to recognize that E24 is part of the original and is not the same as this MDL-invention of a "Special" episode.
I understand your comments and agree to it. I created this acct to find like-minded people to discuss drama but…
Wow! That's very personal and rude, especially if it came from a person whose language isn't English—they're acting high and mighty.
Sorry to hear you encountered those types. I hate those types. They attack personally because they can't hold their ground. Then they reply back with more nasty stuff, then block you so you can't defend and fight back, making it look like you gave up and they "won".
I love that theory! 😉Watchers can fill in the gaps during the week with KoreanEnglishman videos of people discovering…
Haha! Yeah, cultural differences.
It's also slightly different with Japanese culture. In Japanese restaurants, they'll cook it at your table so you can watch (or at least it's very visible).
And indeed, it does look like you were ripped off when you have to cook it yourself and pay expensively for it. 😆 Like, "I'm paying for the food, not the experience! We can just do this at home!" 🤣🤣
When this Korean dining experience first reached us here in the Philippines, it was generally ignored by us. Only Koreans appreciated it. Our thinking is similar, we love grilling at home and we invite people at home to just eat (and drink). It's so common and regular, the idea of doing it in a restaurant was so off-putting. Like, "Why?!"
The only time we do that is when we're traveling because there are places where you have to buy raw food, prepare it yourself, grill or cook it yourself while appreciating the view and laughters.
I think it took 3–5 years before the Korean dining experience was embraced. 😂
It was the best scene in E02 for me. And considering the other restaurant guests were lawyers too and they were…
Yep. The Supreme Court surely did not mean it to have such an effect, but will be used by those who wants to abuse the law. Until the lawmakers waste more time in revising the laws or making new ones to resolve the misused precedent.
Then the cycle begins again, those who wants to abuse the law will find ways around it again, and will wait patiently (or probably create a scenario) for a new precedent.
My only comment re: ML is that there's a limit po being naive and stupid and being a fool, and you don't combine…
Then his crush warned him multiple times. And he was like, "Naah, I don't believe you". Who knows better about the town than the natives?
The same goes for the assistant professor. She was so brave and was dumb enough not to hide when they were scouting the mountain. Her student had to pull her down.
She acted that way because "What are these fools doing?" "I only believe in science, these people are murderers."
Never ever dismiss what locals tell you just because it doesn't align with your beliefs. Even if you only want to believe in science, you learn to listen and respect to natives/locals say so.
Every belief, legend, whispers, had a source and often based on some truth that science is to explain. Dismissing it is the surest way to get yourself killed.
My only comment re: ML is that there's a limit po being naive and stupid and being a fool, and you don't combine…
Example.
When the power was being demonstrated to him, his first reaction was to touch it. Not even kids will do that. Kids will stay away especially since it is black and looks ominous.
But him? He rushed to touch it. That was stupidity and foolishness combined.
My only comment re: ML is that there's a limit po being naive and stupid and being a fool, and you don't combine any of those together. The ML is the epitome of a complete and utter fool, stupidity, and naiveness raised to the 666th power.
He's not dumb, he's graduating from college.
If he isn't dumb, then naiveness, stupidity, and foolishness, are the only ones left. Normally, you only pick one, not two, and definitely not three. But the ML? He's all three raised to the 666th power.
The snake is biting him on his face, making itself obvious and visible to his eyes and all his senses, and he still is ignoring the pain and the snake curled around his face.
I hope they keep it that way but I fear things will get messy with this merger eventually
Yep. There seems to be a very serious plot behind.
Although, I'm hoping that Ms. Building Owner is a relative of the FL that she doesn't know, and is simply preparing everything for her … that way the show can remain funny and light.
Yes, Episode 1 nailed the feeling of someone working an emotionally taxing and time-consuming job for 8-9 years.…
Truth.
I've been in middle management, and I don't want to go back there. I'm now just, "finish today's tasks, go home and relax". Once you realised life vs work, you stop caring about promotions, you just want to get by with what you currently have. Not to mention, promotion = more work = minimal pay increase = increase doesn't justify additional load = they just want to milk your skills, they don't really care = you realise that's how capitalism is all about.

A good way to set the right expectations too. Now we know it isn't just a regular law + comedy, there's a deeper plot.
Then the cycle begins again, those who wants to abuse the law will find ways around it again, and will wait patiently (or probably create a scenario) for a new precedent.
Indeed frightening.
I hope I can finish this. 😭

Seriously? He immediately agreed to go visit the town after watching the murder news. They even saw the scene of the crime.
He forgot all about it because the guy introduced himself as the brother of his crush?
ROFLOL. He was lucky the guy wants to use him. If he was there to kill him, he's a goner.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
