It is sad in my opinion. No happy ending comes out from this disease. If you think that she will forget him a couple of hours later and die pretty soon, there is no way you'd think this is a happy ending.

You must be very young.
Nothing wrong with that, it was not surprising to me. The words "I love you" are less common than you think, especially in the eastern culture. People usually meet, get married, have kids and assume the other person knows without saying a word.

This started with male lead sexually harassing the female lead. Taking opportunities to touch and forcefully hug her. He also touches her while she is sleeping and tries to kiss her. He talks very disgustingly about her, asking an old man who is her manager if he sleeps with her whenever they are out in tours. It was so gross and appalling. Then when they started seeing each other, it ended with the female lead being awfully envious of the male lead's sudden fame, trying to get him to quit because she thinks he didn't deserve it. This is not a love story. The "romance" part is quite disgusting. You won't be rooting for them to be together.

The story itself is quite boring. I don't even think that there is a story, and it's not like you will enjoy the variation of the music either, there is only one song that the masked singer keeps repeating.

It is quite good, but maybe you shouldn't start with high expectations so you can enjoy it more.

This movie didn't age well... It is also very boring. If you are watching because you think it is cool to see Cha Tae Hyun singing in a mask, just watch clips of it.

Haha, I didn't know about the first part. I saw it with Arabic translation. It was fixed as masculine. For the second part, I thought you meant "The bastard female who I loved", not "The bastard who I (a female) loved". This is even funnier.

I saw it now, maybe just in case someone knows Russian. So that his secret is not exposed?

Where was that? I must've missed it.

Every country in the world has people who are assigned to defend it. Naming them military or something else doesn't change that they are trained for that purpose.

I didn't like the look of him from before, he looks mean to me, but I don't think this means anything, since she could be cleared because of lack of evidence. It is something that is hard to prove it happened and hard to prove it didn't. So, you basically got nothing except your gut feelings.

Sure, if you assume every show has a leader, but some shows just don't. As I said, if there is a need for a main host (which is quite rare), Jae Suk is more likely to jump in, but this doesn't mean he was the only one who acted like a leader. There are many instances when he was there but other members were leading the show. If you define a leader as the person who reads the production prompts every now and then, then many members qualify for that position. If you define it by the one who leads the team, then he and at least Jong Kook qualify for that position. If we say that he is in fact the main host because he lead the team more times than the others, then we are just assuming that he is the leader because of his seniority or status, because the leader isn't "the one who is sometimes a leader, but sometimes isn't" (Of course what happens behind the scenes is irrelevant). Even SBS's official website doesn't define him as such. I have seen many variety shows without a specific leader, so I don't agree with you that there should be one, if the role isn't clearly defined, why assume things? Just because he lead many shows and is always the main MC (if there is one), doesn't mean he leads this one, because this show just doesn't have a main MC or it does have multiple ones.

P.S. I'm only confused because most other shows with similar hierarchy (where everyone is equally competing against each other) in MDL, has all its members tagged as Regular Member or all of them tagged as Main Host, including Jae Suk. It is kind of curious that only this one doesn't follow the pattern.

You know having children is not the only purpose of having a relationship, right? Were you there when these two planned to have children? And I know you were trying to be scientific (even without data or evidence that backs up your claims), but men have been marrying older women since the dawn of time, whether for their beauty, money, power, connections, or feelings...etc (Yes, they didn't stop to question their childbearing ability). Your personal preference doesn't make it unnatural. Also, younger doesn't mean childbearing and actually young, a woman could be "younger" and over 50 at the same time. What kind of nonsense are you going on about? If you think that women are childbearing machines, that's your personal view, don't drag nature into it. If it was nature, it would've been the case since the dawn of time. Nature doesn't only work when you come up with statistics.

I don't have a say on this since I'm from a very different culture, but my point was that maybe it will help if average men saw average women as potential partners instead of competing with them on who gets more responses on Tinder.

humm. Not that I have any data on this subject, or do I encourage "playing the field" but objectively speaking, if your percentages are correct (which I really doubt), couldn't the reason be because "average men" usually go for very attractive women who are far out of their league, then get discouraged when they get rejected? I mean I'm pretty sure there are plenty of average women who would be fine going out with average men but never get asked.
I think blaming attractive women for going out with guys who are as attractive as they are for "average men not getting any" is kind of ridiculous. She is very attractive, of course she would look for someone on her level first before lowering her standards. Wouldn't every guy in the world do the same? Aren't they here whining about how attractive women never go for them? How about going for women who are more likely to go out with them instead? Life is not a teen movie, average guys don't usually get the most attractive girl in school.
I remember reading a study that said that men are most likely to think that they are more attractive than they are perceived, maybe that is why even if they realized they were average looking they still have a hard time figuring out their own league.

Just noticed that it's a weekend drama. That explains the low quality makjang elements. I typically don't like dramas that are neither fully makjang nor have a high quality plot. I prefer to watch daily makjangs where you find the absurdity quite funny or opt-in for a high quality weekday drama. This one was trying to be both which bored me to death. I couldn't laugh at the absurdity or enjoy the plot.

This drama is both too slow and too fast. The development of their feelings is fast, but the days are passing too slowly for me.

I liked Reply 1997 way more. This one was definitely sadder and more melo, but Reply 1997 was more exciting and engaging.
Events kept repeating towards the end, and it became too dull. I also didn't like how plain the ending was, and how no one had an exciting ending (sad or happy). It seemed like everyone was walking on the same spot until they unintentionally made a small hole with their feet and casually fell into it. No one fought their way through to get somewhere more interesting.

Thank you for the reply. I'll watch them on double speed.

Only one scene. and it is kind of still.

I'm not sure what you are referring to but they are repeating the title of the drama "In a forest with no one.." (This is the Korean title) "...If a tree fell, no one will notice or hear (?)".
It is kind of like this event didn't happen because no one was there to witness it. I think it's a metaphor about feeling alone and isolated during a struggle which was the main leads' state. I don't remember the lines, I just remember that something like this was implied.
