All was good until ep8, then it got super annoying and boring. The ML was doing BARE MINIUMUM in the relationship, and the FL is blinded by love to see this happening. I feel so sorry for Marina for always having to deal with the FL BS.
She should've chose Kaga or at least ended it after the dialogue where she said she won't date either of them. I still think Koshiro hurt her badly, despite having good intentions.
I saw a lot of reviews saying this is the most realistic kdrama, so I had that expectation before watching. But was disappointed to watch another cliche drama. Same old rebellious FL and rich ML kinda drama...
She wasn't that close to cho hui and they barely talk whereas she is friends with mr.hong and he also lives close…
I understand what you are trying to say, directors deliberately do things to create more meaning for the film. But I guess with this drama the director weren't focused on the details, and I guess it would be the same for most kdramas out there. Unlike Squid Game where everything done was deliberate and manipulated to convey more meaning. I'm guessing you've studied films before??
Hopefully there won't be romance between SHK and LDH
