... Fyi, in the 8 Club of college alumni of film majors, HDM began to mouth off his life stories, esp in criticizing…
"make someone lose face in public" aren't you mistaken critics with humiliation?

Critics can be use as evaluation, judges, its a tool to improve.
Nothing wrong, or bad about critics if it use for evaluation. It'll be different if we use evaluation as a tools to bring down our opposition.

This is not a romcom where the male lead saves the female lead with 30 different camera angles and slow mo effects…
i've said it, he is not normal. thats the best way for me to understand Dong Man.

but it seems some people here interpreted "not normal" as a derogatory word.

they are. they are coward not to say it to him.
man up say it, the end.

criticize them in private. praise them in public. Not the opposite.

Yes, we done it to colleague. We criticize them , we told them what their lack is, to parent, coworker, friends, subordinate, etc. the closest we are, the easier to tell it.

why it is surprising to you?

you never ever told someone they're incapable or such thing?
you never ever critics someone directly?

god, funny at ep08 when Dong Man, and Gyeong Se is about to fight against CEO Choi, then Dong Man's brother came to break their fight.

Like a parent break their kid's fight. These guys were so childish sometimes.

What's really great with this type of drama is by episode 3 you start to understand the multiple perspectives…
All these dramas competing to attract the same population.
Web novels, or novels, or any other adaptation have their fans to begin with, means less effort to introduce a known materials, means less marketing cost compared to original one.

No guarantee an original works will gain many viewers. Adaptation works offer the least risk.

i just reached ep06, and started to understand both.

Her nosebleed is because she hold herself, she try hard to press down, to hide her emotions. Then she saw Dong Man expressed freely his emotions, that actions inspired her to express her feeling.

"Dong Man only criticized other directors' bad films behind their backs, not to their face, bc Dong Man respected them".

are you not mistaken cowardice with respect, and empathy?

i believe idiom to criticize in private, praise in public. Means to critized them to their face, and say good words of them publicly behind their back.

if you agree Dong Man's word of "respect" as "empathy", thats your meaning of empathy. Thats your answer about "Doesn't this show HDM has empathy?"

im just at ep05, and Dong Man revealed why he hate Gyeong Se. It is because Gyeong Se hated Dong Man in the first place.

It brought me to a dialogue of Dong Man in the past, that he treated people the way they treated him. If they hated him, Dong Man will hate them back.

Out of context.
This drama is really clever in writing. I mean the conflicts is cheesy, everyday people might experienced it, no villain. But they made it so it can be a story we can follow.

At episode 05, when Dong Man revealed why he hate Gyeong Se, i'm chuckled, "god, they're so childish".
Then i realized that this drama is about light conflicts among all characters that common people might have experienced in real life.

The writer(s) really is clever.

i got to admit the brave decision they made. To choose this kind of character as a protagonist.

In real life, many people would skip to understand this kind of person, they may label him as red flag.

I've been in episode04 (05 rn), and more layers been revealed why he behave like that.

Still related to that Eun-A's crash scene:
Is he not emotionally intelligent?

Because common people reaction will get Eun-A out of the crash site, they'll ask if she is okay etc.
I know Dong Man is lack of empathy when she met Eun-A. Empathy is something we develop from experience, while emotional intelligent is by birth.

Is he not really inteligence emotionally to begin with?

Feel free to spoil me,
and thank you in advance.

So Dong Man is someone who lack of empathy.

Other than his group, i think he have no other friends. His lack of empathy prevent him to have friends, or he lack of friends prevent him to develop empathy?

Two persons have advised him to get in relationship, so he can develop his empathy?

1). I don't understand him because he is not normal to me. His action isn't like any common people.

2.) i didn't understand his reaction in that car crash.
It'll helpfull if Leyah (or you) explain your understanding, why he acted like that rather than explaining "it's not romcom", or that "I shouldn't watch it."

Im not expecting butterfly scene.

I don't understand him.

Many times Dong Man is annoying and disrescpetfull towards his friends whom genuinely going through their emotion.

Was he worried when she almost got hit and ran to check in on her even though he too almost got hit?
yes, then he is not worry anymore after assuming she is alright without asking. Then he is not worry anymore after seeing his emotional wrist-watch.

Dong Man is really pain to watch.
There is always that one friend in our circle.

at ep03, He witnessing Eun-A almost got in a car accident. And his reaction didnt help her or ask her if she okay, He is self-centered, walk away happily left her alone while she is still in the crash site.

I don't think HL want to divorce her husband, it was more like a warning to his co-writer. She is still trying…
i won't call her actions as rude, she is strict, firm, and to the point.

i remember she told her husband at episode 2.
Her husband being a director (success one?) have that feeling of inferior towards Dong Man whom never have debuted his movie.

She told her husband, that he is the same level as Dong Man, their only different is that Dong Man never have debuted as a director.
Godd, she is cool.

She is logical, icy, no bs sweet words, but she is totally right.

There is a lot of context missing, people are just not too happy about a kdrama with a younger woman taking care…
well, im a male, and i don't really like loser type protagonist in a drama. Its like romanticizing incapabilities.
But well written character are still well written character, it just my preference.

I also didn't liked Liberation Notes , it was to depressing to me. I can say that this drama is getting better.…
So her center of happiness is Dong Man?
so Eun-A is the "giver" type in relationship?

i guess she just recently broke up with her boyfriend before she look more into Dong Man, guessing by that granny whom have her bring extra lunch.

okay, okay, seems the answer is i have to watch it.
it just too gloomy. But thank you.
