It is something deeply rooted in Korean and eastern Asian culture, karmic debt and various concepts surrounding it. It is beautiful if done well. This drama did it in a rather haphazard way.

Decent show but the ML wardrobe was ..idk. Whenever he was walking or was next to the FL, felt like a cardboard cutout walking or a flat balloon floating.

my head hurts...

Idk much about Myung Soo. He was okay-ish in Angel's last mission but his acting was literally crushed by Shin Hye Sun, the titan of an actress. So whenever they were together, it felt off. Their acting prowess gap was that much huge. I am sure that won't be the case in this drama.

Yea but I won't be shocked either if they bungle this up, given the meh k-content these days left right n centre.

It is salvageable. Will be tough, but possible. All humans have flaws. It's how they overcome them. Or how it's written..rather,

Take your own advice.

So you saw it already before it's even aired ?

Idk what the writers are thinking. When epi 4 or 5 aired, I did mention that I don't mind a love triangle because given the circumstances, it could even be interesting. As long as they don't drag it till episode 10 or something. But alas, now here we are.

Keeping that aside, I also have no clue why the writers thought it's a good idea to do the FL that dirty. Tearing her down from a strong independent yet struggling and barely holding on to outright dodgy. Why tho. Good luck pulling off a paradigm shift in the character dynamics in the next 4 episodes. Still possible to salvage. Given that the writers used to papers to write and not roll joints with em.

In an ideal world, she should not have time for romance with anyone at this moment but yea, well, drama land.
If the writers follow 'life as we know it' path, the ML should be looking to venture ahead somewhere else when a great opportunity arises.

This was so uncalled for lol. People watch dramas for the lovey dovey dating scenes these days and ignore everything else. The context, the background, foreground.

I do agree, the writers are not conveying things that well. Ideally, the FL should not have any time for romance with either of the leads.

Does she have to, right at this moment ? I am sure she has a lot on her plate to think and save some time for romance.

Lee Do Hyun..who woulda thunk..eh

As much as I find love triangles bothersome, if not done well of course, I don't mind it. Because I am watching it with 'Life as we know it' lens.

The rating will go up or down depending on how the latter half of the season goes so, hold your horses. And besides, the ones you mentioned are average as well.

Yeah adding more mystery would have required another season. Anyway, you might wanna add the spoiler tag there. Getting spoiled in that part for this show is like dying lol

Will be hard to take him seriously in a costume drama after Dafeng.

Because they have history ? Her feelings shifting in a way which is directly related to a shocking incident that she could have never imagined happening, is the story.

How many times have we seen male and female leads develop emotional bonds through cutesy and charming interactions. It is good and rather fresh to see they develop the bond through taking care of an unexpected tiny human for a change.

Depends on the story. So no, not every story requires an antagonist. Specially not this one. Will be super weird.

That does not go anywhere no, as far as I can recall. The drama is impeccable from the start until episode 38ish. Then the rest went over my head. Building up so much mystery to much ado about nothing. But the ending for the leads was nice.
