I am watching both and couldn't agree more! I make sure to watch Glory a little later than Shine on Me so my blood pressure meds have time to kick in. 😂

I don't think NXG's dad could be more of a clueless (in business) tool.

I would wager it is by design, since their characters are both amateurs at kissing (they've never been in a relationship before). I will wait to see, but I have a feeling they will have better ones once they are in a relationship longer.

It is more subtle in how they are connected. Little threads here and there that you can pick up on. So far, QSZ is the only one picking up on the connection.

That is more for dramatic effect. An actual case would have had them investigating more thoroughly much sooner. If they showed how actual police work is done, it would be kind of boring and not as entertaining.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I said loudly at my screen, "Well... what are you waiting for?!!"

I personally like to see more shows like this being produced (I love mystery/thrillers like this one). However, as with the book industry, romance sells really well, so that is why you will more than likely see an overabundance of romantic shows being offered more internationally. Also, as kwanto mentioned in their comment, MDL viewers prefer romance and a more straightforward storyline to follow (nothing wrong with that, but I like more variety in my life ;) ).

All in all, I'm glad this show was finally produced, and I hope it does well so we can get more of this kind of content. LYX has been outstanding in this show thus far.

I've watched up to episode 11, and it has been a decent depiction of police and forensic work. It is obviously dramatized to be more entertaining. One thing I do appreciate is that they acknowledge the tediousness of the work. As they say, the devil is in the details (evidence). A good portion of police work is tracking down a lot of information to either rule something out or prove that something happened, and it is not really fast-paced.

I agree! I've also noticed that some shows use the same music (especially when they are from the same studio).

After watching the flashback of that party, what makes me sad is how outgoing/assertive NXG was before she met ZX. Because of him, she doubted herself and her worth, and she was not as shining as she had been before (as seen in that flashback). LYS has made her shine more again, which makes me happy to see.

Hate to break it to you, but there are a lot of stupid businessmen out there.

This is better phrasing. However, that is what I took his statement (inner demon) to refer to, his obsession.

I think they are performing at a New Year's Eve gala or event, which may be what they are referring to.

Her response was normal. She thought he was hurt, only to find out that everyone else knew what he was doing, and it appeared (at the time) that he couldn't be bothered to even message her (not necessarily a call). So, as someone who genuinely cares for people, this really hurt her, and this was the way she processed that hurt.

This is part of the reason I dislike the SML so much: he diminished her brightness. I'm glad the ML is bringing that out in her again.

The prosecutor can pound sand! I loved her parting shot at him as she was leaving. I actually clapped.

Yeah, I felt the same way after watching that. It is not normal to not eat and stay in bed for three days simply because a grown adult has a relationship with someone. I realize this is common amongst the fans, but it is not normal and, quite frankly, is creepy behavior. I'm glad this show is showing it as unhealthy.

I get that feeling as well. Looks like we may have a love square.

I love the fact that you didn't name anyone, but we all know who you are talking about.

Her reaction is actually perfectly normal. I have reacted the same way with my husband... mad first, then happiness/relief. From the previews, it doesn't seem like they are dragging out the anger longer than one would imagine. This isn't poor writing, but rather reflects how actual people react to similar situations.
