What makes this cast different than any cast in any other drama? Most of the main cast are more popular in variety shows than in dramas. It's not like they've got all the main leads from the most popular dramas to work on this. Do you hate the director or something?

Even if there are dramas that have done better, it doesn't mean it's a huge flop. A flop is a flop compared to the investment (money, effort...etc) they put into it, not compared to other dramas. OTT is now the main legal method of watching media. Ratings aren't a great indicator of the return on investment anymore.

Not really, especially for a tvN drama, and for a drama that is out on OTT platforms as it airs. It's 8th in Prime Video in my region. It's been in the top 10 since it started. You can't tell if it's a flop based on TV ratings. They could've broke even with Prime Video streaming.

"He is not like that when it's just the two of us are together"
You sweet innocent prey.
I feel so bad for her, I feel like crying.

Kyung Hwan saying "She will be wearing the rose-colored glasses for 20 years" is ominous. Everyone can tell she is wearing them except her.

The teacher is such a fool. If that many people warned you about someone, get the hell out. Poor thing, it feels like I'm watching someone getting hit by a truck and no being able to help them. I hope this won't end up very badly for her. I sincerely hope that we are wrong about him.

Only if she knew her gold digging tendencies are making her step on a poo with Man#11. He is trash, woman! Just go home! Haha

Oh wow! Oh Shinda is quite brazen. She says she doesn't want to be someone's second choice and was frustrated when he wend on a date with another woman but she was doing the same to him. I cheat but how dare you cheat on me. Does she realize that all this is caught on camera. LOL

Whoever will end up with those people is entering a minefield:
1. Man#11 (the creepy controlling pervert who is with the teacher)
2. Woman#18 (the always laughing woman, who keeps getting men tangled with her drama thinking that she is being sincere towards them when she can't make up her mind)
3. Woman#19 (the woman who "got hurt in the past" and never got over it)
I also don't like how indecisive Man#3 (the man who is too into woman#19), and I'm starting not to like Man#21 (the long haired man who chose woman#5). He doesn't seem to be serious enough.

Just managed to watch episode 7. I think Man#26 and Shinda are very cute together. I hated Shinda's personality at first, but I think they make a cute couple. Man#26 is showing interest in her in a very relatable way to me. I feel like it might be an INTP thing, but I totally get what he's doing. He fails in expressing his feelings and hurts her feelings, then when he senses she is sad, he hangs around her trying to make her comfortable without actually apologizing or asking her why she is sad and how he can make it up to her. I can totally see myself in him. LOL
They have managed to become my favorite couple this season. I'm not even rooting for them to end up together. I'm just so interested in their story and whether it ends up badly or not.

When did you see her caring about her studies and working hard? All she does is follow the professor around like a stalker, and the few time she she works hard, she does just to impress him.

Seriously, imagine waking up to find a coworker you haven't invited looking after your kid and cleaning your house while you were sleeping in the next room.
Whoever defending her isn't thinking thoroughly.

Are they pretending that what Seri is doing is cute? She should be fired. She visited her professor's apartment without his permission, babysat his child without his permission, and even started cleaning the house!

This is the creepiest behavior I've ever seen as seemingly innocent person do. She is a psycho stalker. My hair stood when I saw a printed out picture of Hani at her room.

Poor professor, going from a materialistic woman to a stalker. He is really bad at picking them.

I love how the main couple's past relationships make me cry, and Kwang Soo/DaHee's relationship makes me laugh. It's a good combination. Too bad it's sometimes ruined by occasional dancer/friend couple.

Kwang Soo acting super cool then losing his voice when she asked him to take her to a hotel nearby is why I'm watching this. Haha

The dancer is creepy and crazy. It's like watching a 7 year old in a man's body. I wish they had cut him out of the drama. To not be dating and start with that? Does she just have a bad taste and was looking for men who are hurt in the head or what? No sane woman would go for someone this child-like. (not even childish, he is with a brain of a child). That is like dating a 7 year old. Ew.

Have you ever read or seen anything related to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by Luo Guanzhong. Slaves being the villain is a common troupe in the Asian and Middle Eastern literature, and it's quite entertaining. Who wouldn't love to hate a sneaky manipulative servant who is secretly controlling the empire, or a female slave who manipulates her way into becoming a queen. Slaves aren't all good. It is historically accurate that some slaves were as evil as it gets. It doesn't mean that this is a representation of all slaves, it's just a representation of some. Everyone can be a villain. Not every victimized person is a good person.

I don't think they are painting the divorce as a no-big-deal thing.
To break it down:
1. You are right about how they are portraying Kang Han Deul, her life crashed after her divorce, she lost all her things, and house, and she had to start over.
2. Yes, No Gi Jun had 3 divorces, he explained it by saying that he married a woman as soon as he felt it, but it always ended up in divorce. However, none of his divorces was his fault or by his choice, he wanted to hold on to his wives. Nobody wants to get divorced 3 times, and believe me it's gets tougher every time. Each time the women chose to break it off, and traumatized by the ordeal with his sister, he didn't ask them to work it out. He just accepted their wishes to make them happy.
3. Jeon Na Rae seems to have thought lightly of divorce, but ended up regretting it. I'm not sure what happened to her exactly, but my guess is, that she might've said or did something wrong, and instead of apologizing, she asked for a divorce, and got really saddened when he accepted it without a fight.
4. An Jeon Man's wife didn't like him at all, she was keeping herself busy with improving the interior of the house until she realized that it didn't solve the problem of marrying someone she didn't like.

I think all of their stories are very sad, and I think a part of them got damaged in the process. I think the idea of divorce insurance in itself, tells that divorce shouldn't be taken lightly. Your life could get destroyed by it.

It's probably suicide.

Divorce isn't a popular topic. Most audience here are too young to even think about it. This topic is too mature for some viewers. Also, not everyone agrees with how they are portraying it.
I advise against looking at ratings at the beginning of the show, this is the rating of a tiny segment of the viewers. Also, ratings on MDL rarely make sense anyway.
