DId you miss the entire plot line where the US is planning to preemptively nuke North Korea, knowing full well that it will cause an all out war in SEA? That doesn't sound very "US is painted as a peace dove" to me

That was also 2007. That was during the height of the war in Iraq. I don't know personally, but am willing to believe it's a relatively safe country now, but either way 2025 Iraq IS NOT 2007 Iraq. The timeline actually matters lol

You don't even have to be conservative to think that your take is f'ing crazy. It shouldn't matter how much you disagree with someone, you shouldn't be happy that someone got assassinated.

It was definitely a FL centric drama. Everything revolved around her honestly. The 2nd couple were cute, but barely had any screen time and I was actually mad that they didn't show anything about the divorce case 2ML brought in for them to work together. They opened the door for them to actually have a major story line for an episode, then it was completely resolved behind the scenes. Even the other first years were basically invisible until ep 9 or 10. Then they gave the (other) female first year the twin sister story line, which is the only thing they really had other than the fact one went to school with the FL. Even the twin story line imo was more for making the mains babysit, again FL centered since she's the one that was asked, and for the FL to remind the audience that she had a twin too since they completely dropped that storyline for like 6 episodes.

Literally everything in the show has the FL being the main part of it. Like 80% of the cases they worked on were brought in by her even.

The twin sister was a big deal in ep 1, either completely forgotten or barely an afterthought in eps 2-10 and then a poor finish in 12. They should have had the FL have a different type of trauma related to her mom imo if they were planning on spending that little time on it.

I agree with you though about the BS apology scenes in shows. It's not just Korean shows though, I've seen it in Thai and Chinese shows as well. It's so aggravating how a parent or grandparent can be the absolute worst human for the entire show, have a realization moment in the final episode, give a half ass apology and then magically all is good. So many of the parents in shows need a lot more than just a BS apology for the mains to be okay with the YEARS of abuse/neglect/anger/resentment towards them, but it never happens. Just once I would like to see the parent ACTUALLY apologize and it be rejected. Even if the main is open to letting them try from then on and the show being open ended on that aspect. Like the final episode shows the parent working for forgiveness and it seems they will be forgiven at a later date than the show actually shows.

Yes. It's not like a normal love triangle though, the triangle is the entire premise of the show.

It's very well done though. I hate love triangles normally but am anticipating every single episode of this show, even watching them as soon as they premiere on YT

It's really annoying how a lot of Asian shows have an absolutely horrible parent or grandparent, then final episode they realize they are horrible, give a half ass "apology" and everyone acts like alls right in the world after that. Like, no, you can be sorry for your behavior but it's going to take some time for me to forgive you, if I ever even do

In this I only know John Cho from Harold and Kumar lol. The guy in Moving I have no clue who he is, but I just meant he's obviously an actor and not just someone who is fluent in English. He played his role well but I've never seen him in anything else

Charlie wasn't running for anything, even publicly stated that he had no plans to. He just toured universities mainly, but cities as well, to debate people on political issues but wasn't a politician

Disney does seem to prioritize acting for American roles than most other companies. Like the CIA guy in Moving was a legitimately good actor as well

There was a scene where it was a board meeting and she proposed 31B, and stated that she believes orienna was going to bid 28-30 and Rachen's company 28B. So they had a meeting where they agreed to raise it to 31. Losing the bid at 26 when the board agreed on 31 would cause major issues, so obviously there was a not shown meeting about it

Mae did, but Mae also has a dad that would be willing to

I like G and Yam together, but I feel like Yam should have had to work for it a little more than she did. I'm not crazy about the fact that G is just picking back up the relationship when Yam has made it VERY clear that their entire relationship hinges on their bosses relationship. Yam basically being like, I like you but Ai comes first and always will doesn't sit the best with me

I think a nice way they could have made to where Mae wins the bid is both of them going back to the original bid. Without the stolen numbers, Orienna was bidding 24 to Superiors 26 and with Rachen out of the way, they likely would have still been the 2 highest bidders

From my understanding, the mother of Nu Ri just left her with Hae's dad when she disapeared. They have no blood relation, he just took her in as his sister and raised her

There's a lot of similarities between Earn and Ayla. It's basically the same character in a lot of ways

She got into a physical fight with her half brother (brothers fault) and her stepmom was trying to force her dad to kick her out so she just said f it, I'm out of here

I can't really decide how I feel about Lamp. He overall seems like a decent guy and is trying to get the best possible outcome for everyone, except maybe for himself. But then there was the agressive kiss in Paris and him hiring a PI to stalk his sister. He didn't do anything with the info he got, really just did it to verify his suspicions, but still I don't see how stalking his sister could ever be a good idea.

And that scene with Loft basically begging Pure to pick her, OMG. She's such a green flag character that that was her only "selfish" scene so far and it really boiled down to "If you pick her I will respect it and leave you alone, but please don't pick her because I can't bare the thought of not being with you"

I think a realistic rating so far would be in the 8.4-8.7 range.
