its pretty hard not to focus on a main character you are supposed to be invested in having cheating on her husband…
It's not. Remember, this is fiction. They need this plot device to happen. They need her to do exactly that. Secondly, they want to show the reality. People do make mistakes because, like it or not, hormones. You're lying to yourself if that isn't happening in real life.
They depicted reality, people complain. If they tone it down, people still complain.
She lost control of herself. And besides, why blame it on her entirely when her ex was the one who made the first move?
It's funny how women are accusing her of cheating, and here I am a guy I blame her ex. She came there knowing she can trust his ex, and herself. But things didn't go the way she hoped.
If her ex didn't make a move and actually respected her, even if she force herself on to him, he will not accept her. But the worst happened, he made the first move.
No, she was not the one at fault, so give her a break. It was her ex's fault.
I really hope it is permanent because I've seen or read something similar before. Same plot, the cure is in the…
The cure is only temporary, and it varies per person. Even the person whose body became the vessel for the cure eventually relapsed.
But the kicker was, there were people who received the cure and actually got cured permanently. However, no one knew about them because they got the cure in a roundabout way, the blood from one was passed to another then another.
People believed they can get cured even if it came from someone else who received it and from someone else who also did. The story was open ended, basically told us that, a permanent cure can only be found after it passed on to multiple people. The source was only the beginning. It's not perfect yet.
Think of a virus. The story reversed that and considered the possibility that a cure also acts like a virus—it needs to pass on to multiple people so it can mutate.
Depending on how you look at it, the story was either sad or hopeful. Sad because a lot of people died, and the reputation of the source was tarnished and everyone who worked with the company the source signed-up with. But it was also hopeful because humanity will soon have a permanent natural antibodies.
I really hope it is permanent because I've seen or read something similar before. Same plot, the cure is in the blood and it was a one chance thing. It ended up like this…
"Cheese Babka" is the Filipino "Ensaymada". The only thing different was Ensaymada was spread (inside) with butter margarine, Cheese Babka was cheese. Everything else were very closely similar. Grated cheese..Salty. Sweet. Rolled similarly (but Ensaymada also have modern styles). Same size too. I wonder where he got.the inspiration, after all, there is nothing new under the sun, almost everything for the last 1000 years is us reinventing (a.k.a. inspired by) or rediscovering (creating something independently but actually already existed before or somewhere else).
Okay, what's with the focus on cheating? That's a plot device they set up for use later. And LOL, I already expected…
Give the attorney a break. The day she slept with her ex was also her ovulation day. It was scientifically proven for decades that the female half of the human and animal population have hightened hormones thus increasing their desire to pro-create. Then there was her ex who made a move on her = her hormones and biological desire got the best of her.
Was it right? Is it justification? An excuse? That depends on what your personal standards are. But for the attorney herself, it was clear that it was not acceptable, and she regretted it. Not only that, the probability that she got pregnant is much higher on that day, which she no doubt realized when she got home.
As far as her character and plot are concerned, it was wrong and a mistake. But as far as you and I are concerned, we should give her a break because we now know better. It is never easy to fight against yourself when hormones and biological programming unites, especially if you do not know how your body works because you forgot your Science subjects.
That plot device will be used later. For now, just go with the flow.
Okay, what's with the focus on cheating? That's a plot device they set up for use later. And LOL, I already expected it the moment they introduced him as ex. Heck, I already expected he will die framed up as a rapist.
Episodes 1–3 in a 12-episode format is often for setting up plot devices and twists. If you're focusing on the wrong things this early, you will definitely not enjoy the rest of it.
Can't they tell she victim is under duress? I expected the attorneys to have detected it in both cases (the rape and murder) most especially since they've been doing rape cases for 10 years, but nope, they did not.
Another odd thing there despite their 10 years of experience is that they never once asked her or told her, "Are you being forced to do this? Did they threaten your family? Blink twice if you are under duress." That is SOP when a client is acting differently than they used to.
Sure, in the rape case, it could've been mistaken as trauma, but the murder case? The mere fact she wants to handle things her own way is a strong sign she's under duress. And what did the attorney do? She confronted the victim instead of helping her. Are they trying to tell us that in their 10 years of experience, they never once encountered a victim under duress? Since they used Korea's real world statistics, are they telling us that they never had a case where victims were under duress?
If they're rookie attorneys, sure, that is acceptable. But they are not. They have 10 years of experience under their belt. Three attorneys at that and not one of them considered the possibility she's trapped.
Sorry to say, but people that are not food trained shouldn’t be judges of any kind of food competition, if they…
They're the wild cards. It's a common practice in many similar shows in different countries, there is always one or two "common people", after all, the one who buys, or will buy, their products are the "common people".
Besides, half the time in even in Korean competitions, while the invited judges do work in the industry, half of them doesn't even know how to judge. It's no different from judges who are not involved in the same industry as the contestants, like in this case.
Lastly, as one of the judges repeatedly said, "current marketing". From a variety show producer's perspective, they know at least half of the audiences will resonate with non-professionals because they're judging like how they would if they're sitting there. Especially since 2010 where knowing if someone is genuine is far more important than the opinion of a professional.
Think of it this way:
- People reacting to a professional judge: Ah. Okay. Makes sense. - People reacting to a non-professional judge: Really? Now I'm interested. Hey! Let's try it next week!
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. I had the same reaction with two of the judges. For me there are two who shouldn't be there—and I'm a fan of the other one. But I also understand why the producer invited them. At the end of the day, it still is a variety show more than an AAA / prestigious competition.

They pushed it too far, they forgot to ask if the scenario they painted is still logically sound.
They depicted reality, people complain. If they tone it down, people still complain.

It will be addressed at a later point, they're using it as a plot device.

I want to taste that Cheese Babka.

Wife: *looked at the calendar, and there's a heart on that day*
They've been trying to have a kid for sometime so they're marking the day.
