Even if the ML's new name means "only love" it doesn't mean that YYS's name means the same. It depends on the chinese characters chosen, so even if it's written the same way in Korean, it can mean something else.

Ehhhh. I get that you're angry and frustrated. But does any of you really think that writing about the conflict on an asian drama forum will make any difference in the actual situation in the region? And I'm not defending the drama here, but what exactly is your purpose in wasting time for a smear campaign of a drama that has already ended? Write to your elected officials, make a donation, vote for people with the same views as you on the matter, help the refugees or sth... We really can't do much other than that. Let's be adults about this.

Oh sure. I 100% agree. If she behaves badly (which I see may be for sake of character growth), it should be properly adressed and shouldn't be justified in any way. And I agree we rarely get that in dramas.
In this drama, I think I'd prefer that they would make her very distant, detached from everybody, cold but not toxic. Like boss from Agency. Here I am fine with her forgetting names (for now ofc) but her treatment of the ML and her friend-director is a hard pill to swallow... I really hope they address it later on

The second couple in Agency had a similar setting.

Nope. We don't know about the second couple, 2FL might be older than 2ML, but not by much.

Agree, but it's still not good, mediocre at best

Nah it's still alive and well, a similar trope was in Brewing Love just last month😭

I think the reason why they are introducing "outsider" partners for both ML and 2FL is to go for the narrative that once you have a kid, it's not like you can only find a partner with the same family situation as you. I don't mind this message, and I usually don't get SLS if I know what the pairings are, so I'm good I think 😅

Same, I guess I still have some naivety left in me 😭

Wait no, I'm still not over WTPR "I fell on your lips" kiss 🤣😭 bury this trope for good together with "I'm sick and I won't remember anything afterwards" kiss!

I dunno, I mean if it is a private investor, who bought the land himself, and it's their own project, why would bidding process be necessary? If it was a governmental project than of course, you're right, but for provate projects, at least in my country, they would have a free hand to create their team / hire companies to work under them. But maybe it's different in Korea?
Tho it's def weird that they got the permission to build before getring the architect on their team.

I personally wouldn't like to be treated by my boss the same way she treats her team. So I understand the criticism. But imo it's to give her a room to grow in the future episodes, so I don't particularly mind.

I think it's to give a room for her character to grow. I know her behaviour is toxic tho, it's hard to watch, but we can't have a set of 2 perfect characters or we would be bored.

My theory about the FL's ex-company "murder" case: I think the male sunbae did something unethical and FL reported him/ forced him to report himself. And then he commited suicide from the guilt. So that the rest of the employees and the evil female sunbae (who maybe don't know the whole truth) blame the FL. And she doesn't want to speak badly about the dead so she doesn't reveal the truth.

I wonder what will her role be, I thought she will be the love interest for the 2ML but apparently not 😅

Yeah cause the release of Squid Game may affect the overall number of people watching, but it doesn't affect the percentage ratings, as the overall sum is still 100%, and Netflix doesn't count.

3% rating isn't a strong start for a drama as expensive as WTSG... also considering 2 A-listers in the cast, and its GHJ comeback after almost 6 years

Same 🫣

How do we rate it objectively though? Every rating is subjective and based on our views, experience, emotions that the show brought in us. I myself am a bit picky and critical overall, but who am I to say that someone else's rating is invalid... The ending of WTPR bothered me, but for example the ending of Her Private Life (pretty universally criticized) didn't bother me at all and didn't ruin my experience. I mean, if people enjoyed the drama, good for them.

I know there are bigger issues with ep 12, but I kinda don't know how to feel about PDJ, a man who pushed and almost killed HJ, working again with BSE... Everything else was done directly by rBSE but the cliff situation is unforgivable! He should be in jail (edit: longer. At least a few years)...
