I kinda love that we show heterosexual men acting like golden retrievers, and that that's ok! I kinda wish we could show that gay men aren't just effeminate and stop playing that stereotype; that we have very masculine gays too! But that's ok, that's why we have "Love in the Big City" (the movie)!

I loved how ML immediately was like - "what did that ****** say? that's not consideration. he's not a good man to be around." Walking green flag calling out the red flag.

I hope he understands just how conflicted (and maybe attracted she was), for kissing who she thought was a gay man. Ngl, that POV would've been so fun. It's clear he's not judging her for being flustered or attracted to him. If anything, the second kiss made it clear that he's declaring his stance that he's attracted too (in contrast, he could've shamed her or done all sorts of nonsense, but he's matching her direct energy).

He's also the fucking sweetest. He got puked on, but made sure she was safe with the police (rather than some drama trope of taking her to his/her house). Later, highlighting how other CEOs tend to leave first, he made sure all of his employees went home safely before he left the team dinner. He got upset with her in ep 3, but still made she got home. (Btw, I don't think he was insulting her per se, just pushing back in an emotionally charged way. He could've done that in a more clinically calm way, but as a CEO, he's been more than forgiving than most. Given his personality to not tolerate sex-negative talk (investors scene), he's been more than understanding (albeit, I don't think she's sex-negative, just has different preferences). Checking in on what she wanted after he stopped her ex from hitting her? (chef's kiss!) His little panic when she was crying after their second kiss? He's a pookie. Love him.

Hear hear! Well said. I don't think the drama believes that she has to change her beliefs. I rather hope she doesn't, but I suspect she will make an exception, as I can't see how they will resolve their conflict for a happy ending. I hopeeeee it's not like a stalemate in some dramas.

@zazami, if we want to encourage less judgment on sex-positive POVs, it shouldn't come at the cost at judging others for being more conservative on their intimacy preferences, right? She is not sex-negative (unlike quite a bit on this feed). She just has a different preference. So saying that she "needs to relax, to understand, to experiment" seems to be passing judgment on her unfairly.

Pushing social conventions has always been a point of the arts. The drama is using humor and other plot devices to give a taboo topic in some communities a platform.

You recognize that's the drama is not for you and expect others to respect and honor that, but think it's ok to judge others for appreciating a light hearted drama.

People are going through hard enough things in life. If you don't need to spread negativity, maybe don't.

He's not her boss. He's her client. Technically, in the real world, marketing consultants can and should push back against CEOs, albeit with a bit more finesse than that, since she could get fired. On one hand, she knows he can handle it, on the other, she's a consultant.... I would argue that her marketing agency might be stressed by keeping the job, but her position in her own company is technically not in threat (until a performance review at her own company comes in).

I think it makes sense that her coworkers assume that if she's joining the company to work on the product as the marketer, she would be sex positive. Which is why ML looks uncomfortable at times when she gets put on the spot, and he tries to help her get acclimated in different ways. It's up to her to volunteer that that she doesn't play with sex toys and I would argue, the team wouldn't judge her for it; they are just ignorant of this knowledge.

Media is designed to challenge ideas and using romances to do that is as old as time. The drama is set to age 15 and older, which means there's nothing so overt that a teenager can't handle. The drama is creating conversation (and I would argue education) about a topic that people are divided on and it's a shame that you wouldn't judge the drama on its own merit and only on its premise.

Surely, you wouldn't consider Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Ulysses by James Joyce, The Awakening by Kate Choplin, or Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, or anything by Edgar Allen Poe trash? But maybe you do and maybe it's not for you. It's understandable if certain content is not for you, but it's a shame that you judge others for trying out content that fits for them.

Good lord. Do you not interact with your coworkers? We have good and bad days and yes, working professionals are share their frustration with their coworkers. I guarantee you that marketing consultants also push back on client CEOs. It might not be as overt and would be done with more finesse, but that's part of the job.

Also, I don't think she's naive and oblivious at all. There are parts of the world, who think this type of talk is taboo, even if they don't judge others for their preferences. A whole part of this drama is to encourage less judgment (and ML's entire spiel in ep 3), why is this entire comment feed so judgmental?
