I don't think crossing the boundaries stops with experience. Jae Suk and Jong Kook still cross the boundaries sometimes and get bashed for it, even with 20+ experience. The best approach is to admit they are wrong and try to prove they are a better person. Unless she gets herself into serious trouble, viewers tend to be forgiving.

I wouldn't say that someone saying "He isn't my type at all" is totally uninterested. The thought at least crossed her mind. I think she has moved on. She and her husband has been together only for a few months. The male lead built an entire life with his wife, so I'm assuming they have spent years together. They are definitely not equal in terms of their previous relationships. I would say that if she was a grieving widow, the thought of him being her type or not shouldn't have come up. If you are a recent widow (in a good marriage), you'd think of yourself as a married woman still, so behaving like that indicates that she has already moved on (which is okay since she hasn't known her husband for a long time).

Technically it only has been few weeks since she became a member. If you look at it like a viewer would, it's like she has been working as a part time job, then as soon as she became full time, she complained about being tired. You are looking at it from her point of view, not the viewer, that's why you counted the weeks she had been a rental member.
I'm not saying one shouldn't feel burned out. I'm only conveying the point view of the Korean viewers. They just gave her the golden chance of becoming an actual member, even if she was working for them for almost a year as a rental.

I think it became an issue because she was only starting. I mean she was just given a chance that so many desire, even seasoned senior variety stars, and she complained about it on camera a few weeks after she has gotten it. It wasn't a good look. I don't think she has many haters, but viewers aren't stupid. They know how important the spot for a regular in a variety show, especially a long running show like Running Man (the longest running variety show). That is like they have given her a job for life as long as she doesn't make a huge mistake that forces them to drop her, so she came off as ungrateful.

I want to fast forward to when she gets interested in him.
I'm too old for this push and pull.

She wasn't stalking him at all in my opinion. Even at first. She only stalked the other woman. I actually find her less crazy than Seri to be honest. Seri is up on the professor's business all the time, and she installed herself everywhere in his life. Like she babysits his daughter, she buys her cloths and diapers, she gets revenge on his ex for him, she spends her free time looking at his daughter's picture. I find it creepier than the hairdresser. The only creepy thing the hairdresser did is when she hanged pictures of them in a board and wrote stuff on them, but I think that's just the writer being funny. The other times, she is just nosy and too interested at most. She doesn't even follow him, unlike Seri who comes to the university even in her day off just to be with him.

You either throw them away or force yourself to marry the guy they want you to marry? You won't survive the Arab culture. LOL
She doesn't have to do either. She can just say no every time, and the mother will give up eventually. I don't think throwing one's own mother away because they can't handle her nagging is something people should do anyway, even if she didn't take her money. Her mother wouldn't have done that to her. They are family even if they are annoying. At least she should buy her a house if she wants her to live separately. She can't let he mother be homeless and pretend she cares about other people.

Why? The daughter took her money and made her homeless. Kicking her out after that is heartless, don't you think? If the female lead is that nice to strangers (a.k.a the eagle brothers), I don't think she would be that cruel to her own mother. She took all the deposit on her retirement home. Why throw her away after doing that?

That was out of nowhere. I don't see any indication that they are a woman hater. I don't know if you are basing it on other comments by the same person, but you should consider that you might be overreacting to an opinion.

I petty the mother actually. Her daughter always gets herself into trouble for these brothers.
Ep 17 was kind of ridiculous.
Why are all women in this drama keep fainting? Haha
There is a witness and nobody is asking him? They just lock up anyone if someone said they were assaulted by them? I don't think the police are this incompetent.
It's kind of silly how everyone is treating the female lead like she is the mother of these brothers, even the brothers themselves, when they get into trouble, they worry about her feelings and her reaction first. It is super weird. Like if one of them gets into an accident and goes to the hospital, the brothers ask her if she is okay, that is your actual brother who is lying there, worry about yourself and your brother first, then worry about the next person. It even happened when their brother died, they were more worried about her than they were sad about their brother.

Yeah, the hairdresser is crazy, but at least she didn't assault a stranger. I would be terrified if she was my daughter. I would think my daughter is a sociopath.

Seri is now assaulting a stranger for a man she doesn't know.
What a pathetic woman. She is really embarrassing. It's like she stopped growing up after 7.
Will she ever have a life beyond looking at a random baby and taking revenge on a random person for a random person?

You are talking about overprotection. I'm not pulling the opposite out of nowhere. Stalking your 15 year old child to the point where you know exactly whose number they have on their phones is overprotection. Following your teen everywhere is overprotection. Asking your teen who they are talking to every time they smile at their phones is overprotection, and it can be suffocating to the point where it becomes abusive, because we smile when our friends talk to us, people don't just do that to their lovers. I'm telling you that the only thing that might've protected that teen from KSH is if they were overprotective, and even then, she might've ran away and continue to see him. You are being unrealistic, if I might say. It's not a utopia, and these teens don't just follow whatever you tell them to do. You are not working with machines.
You have limits when it comes to protecting your child, and if god forbids, something happens to your child, it's not always your fault.

Yes, but you don't know if they actually stepped back and relaxed while their daughter is dating a predator, or they tried everything and failed. You may have an easy kid, or a kid who is just too good at hiding their dirty laundry. Fact is no parent actually knows their teenager or all that they are doing. You've got to accept at least that, so that you aren't surprised when things turn up differently than you've expected.
There is a neglectful parent and there is an overprotective (helicopter) parent, and there is people in between. I would either not leave my teenagers alone (and I become a helicopter parent) or leave them alone and become a neglectful parent only when they are caught doing something wrong. What if I wanted to be someone in between? Someone who gives their teenagers some privacy while trying to educate them about the world, and if things turn sh*t I stand with them? The only way this family could've survived this is if they were standing over her head 24/7, and this is impossible to achieve unless you are a crazy person.
Be mindful that she was 15, not 7.

No matter how much you look out for a teenager. If they have set their minds on something they will do it anyway. You are speaking like someone who was never a teenager. XD
If a parent said no, they will do it anyway even if it was behind their backs. They might've said no every minute of everyday and she still went out with him. Teens are in a risky age where they lack the brain to know what's best for them but they have the physical ability to fight for what they want.

When I was acting out as a teenager, my father used to say "when you grow up, you will say why didn't you stop me"
I always got furious at that statement alone. I knew what I'm doing was right, and even if it was wrong, why would I blame him?
But thank you guys for making me understand his point of view. Seeing how you are all gunning for the family who as far as we know may have done everything they can to stop them (if they knew), blaming them like it's so easy to control a teenager. "Why not report him?" and risk losing your child over it? She would've cut all ties with them, and since it wasn't legal at the time, that wouldn't have stopped him. Think guys! There was literally no way they could've saved their daughter. This family just lost their child anyway, and you are accusing them of going after the money even though they didn't ask for any so far? What would you do if it was you? Wouldn't you try to destroy the person who destroyed your daughter? There is no way they could've foreseen this, as far as they knew at the time (if they actually knew), their daughter was alive and well and will get over it.

Won't you be fine and ok if your daughter is alive and well? Of course they would be. You are only thinking they are to blame because it went down this way. The family didn't know what was coming at that time, even if they actually knew what was going on at the time, but now they are only left with this after losing their daughter. They deserve our empathy too.

Why are you going after the family though? They haven't requested any money from him so far. For all you know they might be an actual grieving family who are going for revenge or closure. They didn't "let" their teenage daughter date an adult, teenagers have minds of their own and it is very difficult to stand up against them. Focus on blaming the adult who decided it's okay to date a minor who is half his age.

It's not far fetched that someone would fall in love for the first time in their thirties or forties. Falling in love is different than dating. I think what I find unrealistic is that he would fall in love for the first time with someone with that much of an age gap at that old age. I think they will probably reduce his age as he can pass for someone younger with a bit of makeup.

Once people stop doing something for 25+ years, you should probably let go of it. You don't even know the details of the situation. Yes, people shouldn't hit others, but he may thought at the time that she deserved it, realized he was wrong and repented. That is a long time to be holding grudge over it.
