you think this bc you see the story from taejoo’s pov. from another angle, taejoo is constantly worried but never communicating anything to sunyoung. half of the drama is just taejoo telling her “trust me” and never disclosing anything to her. later when the biological dad asks him to leave it is taejoo who makes the choice to leave for sunyoung and her child to have a better life. again a decision made without her knowledge. who knows what kinda manipulative stories that father would have told her as the reason for taejoo leaving? also they were never close to begin with. when taejoo came back to kangseng in the beginning he doesn’t even inform her initially.
I foolishly assumed that the last scene would be the redemption arc of Ahjeong, where she comes back not to speak against her boss but to support him. But seeing the preview I have given up any hope 🥲
In my view, It will be great if there would be a bit romance between Seong Jae and Ye Rin.
hell no!!! this drama is perfect the way it is. viewing her as merely a potential partner for male lead bc she is the only main female character is sad. not every drama needs romance.
The app is literally called Girigo. The show title is Girigo in korean. Why not use the same title in english? Why are kdrama titles in english super lengthy and diff from korean title?? 😭
for ppl wondering how did she fall so suddenly, the text on the poster reads “his smile that came like a lightning woke up the cells that had fallen asleep”. yumi’s attraction does begin from that ill-timed smile, the first time he smiled at her.
Dongman’s smile is so haunting. I didn’t expect anything less from Koo Kyohwan! I was bawling my eyes towards the end 😭Such a strong pilot! So excited for the coming eps
But didn't they show she was tired from the lack of sleep and even almost had existential crisis of what's real…
the drama presents her as apprehensive at first, but then warming up to the idea. “says real life is better” is not really discussing the toxicity of the service. looks like you misunderstand what i am saying. anyway, regardless, i did enjoy the drama.

but it doesn’t show them as losers except for the author 🤷♀️ anyway that wasn’t my point. my point was about none of them realising the toxicity of said service. anyway it was a cute drama. just in my personal opinion, i would’ve liked it more if they had highlighted the dangers of it. i see the way sokor is currently eating up AI, so i get why they may overlook the cons in a situation like this as well.

felt like it was still glossed over, and not presented as anything severe. the whole service is projected as something positive overall. while the negatives are just brushed past. why is none of the women using the service realising that the virtual boyfriend texting, calling, and sending them postcards in real life is creepy?
went in with a lot of skepticism but ended up enjoying it. was a big annoyed by how more plot was set inside the vr and less in reality. honestly wished they’d have stressed on the cons of living inside a virtual bubble by ignoring reality instead of choosing to give the virtual boyfriend a goodbye like he was an actual ex… still was a fun watch
I’ll be honest the show isn’t great but I’m staying for the love triangle (well I just like the second ml)…
it’s been so long since i had sls and looks like this one will give me exactly that. while i love the actor, i find myself skipping the ml’s scenes in this drama. i really wish she had gone for sml’s play
The production company called YS a variable in the leads relationship, so I belive like you he is here to push…
exactly! romance is surely not their priority rn. they care for each other, and are beginning to see eo as attractive, but to realise that they genuinely like eo romantically, there should be a catalyst.
Good counterpoint. How long should it play out? things between FL&SML
well, till the sml lead has served his purpose to the plot i guess 🤷♀️
this is a 12ep drama and so the pacing is much faster. since the sml is the landlord, looks like he will find out about the “co-parent-in-law” in the next ep. and maybe in the coming eps it will be more focused on the main leads getting closer while focusing on overcoming wooju’s ptsd.
people being annoyed at love triangles when it is not even a triangle atm. the team leader is a nostalgic memory of her first love that has come back to her life. still don’t think she “loves” either of the leads rn. she’s just navigating through her work, her sister’s death and taking care of the nephew. i like the pacing, and i have a feeling they won’t bring unwanted drama. the sml will just be a tool to make the ml realise his true feelings or wtv. i have faith in this drama ❤️
