Realistic plot / setting / characters / issues / acting. I really enjoyed it. Not overly depressing or upsetting. A nice balance that felt good to lazily watch along. I see complaints about the pace...but I found that aspect helped make the series feel more down to earth and relatable. I like that it wasn't full of cliches / exaggerated acting / overly cutesy stuff. I prefer series that make me feel like what I'm watching could actually be happening....which is rare in the k-drama genre. The pink filter was def a mistake...but I just altered the settings on my display a bit and got used to it quickly.
good story and production. very sad. also, i really wish kdramas would stop adding spoiler future forward scenes at the very beginning of the story....that aspect really ruins it for me.
I loved this series. It's one of the best series I've ever watched. I was looking for a Japanese romance series that wasn't too cliche or youth focused. The casting and acting were really good. The series had a really good balance of romance, comedy, drama, and felt modern. The chemistry between the two leads was great. The supporting cast was filled with characters that made the series more endearing and unique. I watched it entirely in one day, and was left feeling in a good mood afterwards. Highly recommend.
this could've been reallllly good. i think the problem was that they stretched it out over too many episodes. the pacer goes from suuuuper slow, with A LOT of foreshadowing, and then boom ten diff plot lines all come together and are revealed within the last few episodes. that said, the acting and production were really good. had it been edited together in a shorter format, i think it would've been so much better. ALSO: a lotttt of sexual assault / abuse / trauma is wrapped up in this, the plot basically revolves around these issues so if that's triggering for you i wouldn't recommend it.
I feel like there’s not enough discussion about whether if the FL crossed the line.What would happen if the…
"they think men can read their minds".....wow i can 100% guarantee you haven't been satisfying your sexual partners. also, it's creepy that y'all are even on this page commenting. you most likely did watch all of this series bc you prob only came to it bc of the sexual activity tags and wanted to see sex scenes but accidentally got exposed to feminism. you sound like incels.

as i'm scrolling down and seeing how many comments you've left, and for how long....you have a serious problem. you're like...obsessed. go watch one of the million other series out there that centers around the cis male perspective / gaze / pleasure and let the rest of us enjoy RELEVANT AND ACCURATE content to our bodies / lives.
What would happen if the roles were reversed? Would you hate the 2 MLs if they say that their GF didn’t satisfy…
FL never said he didn't satisfy her. she asked if they could try incorporating a toy to help her climax. he shut her down immediately and got defensive. this is actually a super common problem bc most men aren't taught how to focus on their partners' sexual needs. most young women have to go through countless boyfriends / partners in their youth who don't even notice that they aren't enjoying the sex before eventually being able to speak up about it or finding a partner who has already had that experience with a previous partner and has since upped his game. while penetration alone makes most men climax, it doesn't for most women. that's all she was addressing. she was asking for him to wear a toy that would stimulate her externally while they had sex....super basic sex knowledge TBH. and to address your point about plot reversal...there are THOUSANDS of shows / films about men feeling like their partners aren't sexually satisfying them...ever heard of a plotline where a man / bf / husband cheats on his partner? yea....
So. a FL decides that it is her BF’s fault for not satisfying her and therefore it is empowering.If there’s…
first off, no one EVER mentioned the size of her BF's package. if you knew anything about sex you'd know that has nothing to do with whether a female can have an orgasm. you bringing that up must be out of your story, not this one. as for THIS story, the problem does become the BF's fault once he says he isn't willing to try to do ANYTHING to help solve the issue. it is his fault once he gets defensive af and starts gaslighting her, when all she did was ask if they could introduce some super basic toys into the equation. he didn't even let her have a conversation around it. he shut her down immediately and told her she had a medical condition, and then acted as if nothing ever happened. yea...that's him being the problem. had he just said "oh you'd like to try something new? let's do it! let me know what feels good for you or what could make sex feel better!"...that would've been him not being the problem. she never once said it was his fault. she just bought some toys and suggested they try them. a caring, supportive partner would want to know if their partner has concerns / needs...and would want to try to do whatever was possible to improve the situation. even if he felt hurt, he could've said that in a calm rational way, while also acknowledging that it must have been hard for her to talk to him about that topic...that he was glad she did and that he wanted to work on it with her. you sound like an ignorant boomer who didn't even watch the series.
Not sure what the problem is here. It is a thing and a gynecologist can conduct exams for this reason. That being…
well said. also, her best friend took her to her sister ( who happened to be a gyno)...it wasn't just her going on her own. so it was her bff trying to reassure her even more that she wasn't at fault. also, the doctor pointed out that psychological issues are one of the causes...so she was provided with accurate information. the show is addressing how much lack of awareness there is in korea around women's sexual needs / desires / bodies (and frankly that still exists everywhere)....so if someone who hasn't had access to accurate education around these issues is being gaslit by their partner and chooses to speak to a doctor about it...saying that's "stupid" is really harmful and ignorant. i think the actors and the producers knew that this character didn't have anorgasmia, but they were portraying a character who was coming from a background of not having that knowledge...and what would she do in that situation. I think her friend was super supportive and helpful TBH. many people look at their doctors as the ultimate authorities on their bodies / health...so hearing a gyno tell her that she prob had nothing to worry about and should try experimenting on her own was super sound advice. including this as a plot line may have answered questions many viewers had about their own bodies / experiences and saved them a trip to the doc / shame / suffering.
I loved this series. As an LGBTQIA person who watches a lot of k-content, I was shocked to even find it! I feel like it was well made, and that the panelists were great in how they addressed the participants' journeys. Super proud of the queer folks who chose to put their lives out there to be seen like this. I'm sure it's had a really positive affect on other LGBT Korean citizens that really need more positive visibility of their existence. I hope that there is a season 2 eventually, and if not I at least hope that more shows (whether they be reality tv or not) are to be produced that center around LGBTQIA Korean experiences!
Total thumbs up! I'm always looking for k-series that feel more modern / relevant / progressive. This show is a welcomed change from the stereotypical plots / relationship dynamics / stuck in the 1950's vibe of the majority of series being made. TBH I didn't expect the acting to be so good, but it was better than a lot of big budget series. Both of the female leads were excellent actors and a pleasure to watch. Even though American content contains a lot of graphic and sexual content, not a lot of it focuses on issues like sex positivity / consent / modern day sex politics...so seeing those issues addressed so well in a k-series was unexpected. I would love to see more series / films upgrade to this level of modern intimacy and honesty in their character and relationship portrayals. I really appreciate the actors choosing to participate in such important content, knowing it probably is risky for them. Let's hope we see more of these characters / storylines / topics being produced going forward!
I really loved this. We need more slice of life series like this. I really enjoyed getting to see a more realistic portrayal of the Korean big tech corporate worker experience. The lead actors were perfectly cast. Not overly cliche or dramatized, very realistic. I'm so tired of seeing the same repeated tropes / plots...this was refreshing. Reminded me of Incomplete Life but better IMO. This is a great example of a modern day k-series that has all the genres combined, with full character developments, a clear plot, and is very likable / easily consumable and not full of tired k-drama dynamics.
I watched it for Kim Hee Ae....and it did NOT disappoint. One of the best K-Dramas I've ever seen. I haven't found many other series that were able to grip me quite like this one. I didn't feel bored or exhausted with the plot and characters...also I feel like in a lot of dramas the antagonists are so off putting that I have to stop watching, whereas this series kept a balance. Kim Hee Ae is a stellar actor, and still sexy as hell.
loved it. would love more k-series like this (maybe focused on older characters though, i'm worn out on teenager / college age stuff). not too dark, not too vapid, more realistic than the average romantic k-series, above average love scenes, humor at the right moments, kept me interested the entire way through. the ending wasn't as fulfilling as i'd hoped for. it felt rushed,..like it could've used another episode or two. i was also hoping for things to work out differently towards the end, but i can also see that it was perhaps more realistic.
Def one of the best dating / matchmaking reality shows I've ever seen....some seasons are better than others, and I wish they were actually separated as seasons....but when it's good, it's really good. The absence of people appearing primarily to promote themselves / gain a platform is what I enjoy the most. That is rare to find in an reality show these days.
