yeah.. it's a constant state of "disappointed but not surprised"

glad to see some sane comments about this whole thing. i agree that criticizing something like that is important and with koreas history of representation in kdrama especially. honestly this doesn't just go for kdrama and representation, korea in general is unbelievably far behind in terms of things like feminism, lgbt+ awareness and global cultural awareness. that's unfortunately the plight of a highly conservative and mainly monocultural/homogeneous country... and naturally that ignorance reflects in media. (if only kdrama watchers would sometimes educate themselves on the country that produces the content they so love, but hey cant expect that from everyone i guess.)
but people are obviously blowing this out of proportion and going way too far with the constant ratings bombing and literally harassing the actors on insta. there is nuance to be had here because finding a flaw in a drama's production and still viewing the drama itself in terms of overall plot and narrative objectively/separately are two things that CAN and should coexist.
sadly "nuance" is a word in not many people's dictionary here on the internet.

hey, sometimes manifestation works 😂

an unhealthy amount.....i clipped the scene and sent it to all my friends without context 😭😭😭

mine too omg. and rightfully so

honestly, it's sad how low the bar is. but in terms of chaebol leads gu won is a literal walking green flag!

nooo they better date properly (even if in secret for now) i can't bear to look at gu won's sad wet bambi eyes

the only way is up !! may this drama stand tall against the makjangs 🤭

not someone saying the kiss felt forced when guwon literally.......aight i'm not even gonna say it y'all are just funny 💀

yes. under a sprinker. with a chaebeol dressed up as a chef.

i think we'll def get more of him, seems like his relationship with pyeonghwa will be progressing soon.

i also think this is a lot better than business proposal, especially when you compare the male leads. maybe it helps that i'm a lot more into Junho's acting than i am into Ahn Hyo Seop's. KTL also has some more meat to its narrative because it's actually trying to say some important things regarding emotional labor and being taken for granted at the workplace. business proposal was definitely a riot to watch, but when it comes to the romance and characterization KTL definitely takes the cake, it's got me by the throat <3

apparently the literal translation is "please allow me" which is also so !!!!!! gu won has my entire heart

he mentioned getting special lessons from a chef lol

appreciating the spoiler tags!

i laughed my ass off! didn't expect him to just flat out say it lmao

as someone who's worked in a high-end hotel before, i can't begin to explain how much of a wish fullfillment this drama is for me omg

everything you said!!!!!

it would be so funny if their daughter is the first one to suggest a divorce or something 😂 "mom, we need to talk."

absolutely not the only one! 😂
