I don't know about other dramas, but nothing "pushed" this husband to cheat on his wife. Dr. Seo In Ho cheated…
People are complicated, nice people can still have mixed emotions about people in certain situations, he didn't do anything scandalous, and respected her "no"... I'd say he's actually nice.
Writers clearly don't know what to do with Husband character. That's why they turned him into a joker.As usual…
I don't know about other dramas, but nothing "pushed" this husband to cheat on his wife. Dr. Seo In Ho cheated on his girlfriend, and then cheats on his wife with the ex-girlfriend. He skill as a surgeon has made him a megalomaniac in the private part of his life. His wife was a "mistake" in his mind, "the ex" blames the wife "stealing" her man instead of blaming the cheater and has an affair with him to get back at the wife instead of kicking him to the curb like she should have done so he hasn't had to pay the price... he cheats because can. Part of this drama is about how you can make a mistake and get away with it, but if you keep making the same mistake over and over, you will eventually have to pay a price. As for Dr. Kim, yes he had a crush on a former patient but, he didn't cross the line.
No. Although Taiwan has done a good job of discouraging tobacco use through the Smoking Hazards Prevention Act…
Yes. It's sad but true that once you're an addict, you're an addict for life. The only way to change a habit is to replace it with a different habit. The trick for an addict is to replace a harmful addiction with a positive or less harmful one.
One of the best drama I have seen. Heartwarming…It has everything in lifeChildhood, Friendship, youth, hardship,…
No. Although Taiwan has done a good job of discouraging tobacco use through the Smoking Hazards Prevention Act of 1997 (21% in 2005 - 14% in 2017) this is a gritty realistic drama is about a "Japanese" nightclub that caters to Japanese expats in 1988. In the early 2000s, 1/2 of adult Japanese men smoked, so I'm sure the percentage was even higher in 1988. The actors portrayed a realistic aspect of that lifestyle, where most of the people live in the "now" and don't really plan for the future. Even today, people who are despondent/uncertain over the future but still work have a higher rate of tobacco use than the general population... nicotine is a stimulant that also lowers the perception of pain and stress. So it's no wonder why many soldiers, police, firefighters, and the working poor (like club/restaurant wait staff) pick up the habit. As a 6 year ex-smoker myself, I'm a military veteran, I still carry Niccoret mint mini tablets in my purse for those times I'm hanging out with smokers to keep myself from bumming a cigarette, especially if we are drinking alcohol. Lol *FYI: If you still smoke but want to quit, don't vape... it actually gets you more addicted to nicotine, and it costs a fortune. (Ask me how I know.) I started smoking when I was 16 years old, and have quit many times. This is what has worked for me: 1.) Wash your and if possible brush your teeth every time you finish smoking a cigarette. Pop a mint if you can't brush your teeth. Once you stop smelling like a smoker, you'll notice how bad people who smoke smell, so you'll be more likely to follow rules 2 and 3! 2.) Stop smoking indoors*. Going outside to smoke will naturally reduce your smoking habit if you work in an office, but even if you have an outdoor job you will smoke less, especially during the winter lol, when you are at home. 3.) Don't smoke in the car. I stopped smoking in cars after I bought my first one because I hated the way it smelt when I opened the door. This had an added bonus because I stopped craving cigarettes when I was driving and eventually extended to me not craving cigarettes in cars at all. 4.) Never smoke around children. Children pay attention to the adults in their lives, smoking in front of a child tells them that smoking is acceptable. (My parents and grandparents were smokers.) 5.) Talk to your doctor and/or attend a stop smoking clinic. There are medications that will drastically reduce your nicotine cravings. I quit cold turkey and stayed smoke-free for 7 years, started smoking again (5 years) when I got separated, quit again for 11 years with the help of Wellbutrin (much easier), started up again during my divorce, quit again with the help of Wellbutrin and nicotine tablets, started again when I bummed a cigarette when I was having a very bad week, this time it only took me two months to decide that I incredibly stupid for starting up again. This last (and hopefully final) time, in addition to using Wellbutrin, I attended a smoking cessation clinic where I was taught strategies to keep me from smoking again. 6.) Never Quit Quitting! Addicts will almost always use their drug of choice again, and nicotine is the 3rd most additive drug in the world. I quit smoking, but I'm still a nicotine addict. Although I rarely crave nicotine anymore, accepting this fact has allowed me to come up with strategies (I keep a bottle of nicotine mini mints in my purse and another one in the car.) to greatly reduce my chances of smoking a cigarette; but if I do... I WILL QUIT AGAIN! After all, practice makes perfect, Lol.
*Sorry for the long reply, I know I went off on a tangent. Please forgive me, but I'm not going to delete it because I hope it will help a fellow MDL member if they are thinking about quitting smoking.
Waiting for this series to end so that I can start watching. does anyone know when it will end?
I'm with you. So many C- dramas are ruined by bad endings that I don't start watching until they've finished. (That way I get a heads-up if I need to end the drama early or skip parts that don't make sense.) This one has seven more episodes to go, so it will probably end next Sun. I'll probably start watching this drama on Wed.
Just because you say it doesn’t make it true. I believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Show me evidence that he’s been charged with anything besides insider trading, and we can talk … Right now you’re coming off as a “Sasaeng Netizen”
I started watching this because I was in the mood for a Japanese slice of life high school romance movie, I wasn't expecting an anthology about six people going to the same high school, but it was good. I have read some commenters saying they are confused about how the stories intersect, so I'll post an explanation with a spoiler on how they are connected.
Why are commenters saying YAI won't get paid? Don't actors get paid after the movie is wrapped? It's not just about Yoo Ah In, what about the other actors? They won't get paid? Somebody, please explain this to me.
