Can you tell me which scenes are using ai? (Genuinely curious)

Wow love the analogy!

From the title (and do read the korean title) itself it's obvious it's not gonna end well. High likely an open ending with this one. I don't understand why people assume this is gonna be a fluffy drama with a happy ending while it's not. I do love this kind of drama tho where I have no idea where the plot is going yet still feels realistic with messy imperfect characters in it. This drama doesn't exist just to feed delulu fans. It's definitely targeted for adult audience.

Agreed. I also do love this kind of drama that you have no idea where the plot is going. While romcoms with formulaic plot and typical ending seem boring to me, this one feels realistic and fresh. Basically I'm into a drama with a bunch of f*cking stupid messy people trying to figure out life. Lol (pardon my language 😂)

At this point practically namgung is considered as mido's family member. Their bond (namgung and mido's family) is deeper than blood (and not every family has to be related by blood). So it's very normal for him to takes care of 'his' family too since he rely on them almost all his life.

I bet even tho the writers will end this drama with the leads breaking up for good, namgung would still keep in touch with them because they all were family before all of this happened.

Exactly. The same thing happened in Four Hands, Two Sonatas. They lash out on the very kind and pretty female character for no absolute reason and keep defending the toxic behavior done by the handsome male lead lol. But probs they're all kids so I understand, lol. 😂 If they're old enough they'd know these men are the kind you want to stay away with (despite the looks) and these kind women are the one you want to stay involved either as best friends or simply a co-worker. I mean, not only that they're pretty, they're also smart and kind and capable at their job.

Yeah from the vibes of it, it feels like a melo realistic drama that usually ends with an open ending.

It feels like 'Jeongnyeon' and 'You and Everything Else' but male version. The cinematography and all are good (no doubt to studio dragon), but idk, the writing just ain't it. (Still watching it tho for JY's character arc)

I see. Then it's just the bad writing that made her character less impactful. I guess the writer wanted the friendship between those three like the one in 'Family by Choice' but unfortunately the fl lacks backstory, hence why she has way less screentime than the others.

It's heavy on rivalry between two best friends (JY and Pio). Tbh the fl is more of a supporting role. It's like "Jeongnyeon" and "You and Everything Else" but male version.

This. It's obvious that Pio's mother is the perpetrator. It's just that the reason isn't as simple as JY being a threat to Pio's career. High likely this has something to do with Pio's mother's past.

This story is not that complicated tbh. It's not a psychological thriller or mystery that requires big plot twist from its character. Jaein's role is just as simple as being the only genuine person in Pio's life and the one who loves him as he is. The writer wouldn't be so cruel by giving Pio a whole unhealthy family that makes him has a huge insecurity without giving him at least one person to rely on. On the other side, Jeongyo also has that one person, he's the 'hyung' who genuinely cares for him when he was always chased by debt collectors. Blame the description on these unofficial drama sites that mistaken Jaein as a main character instead of a supporting one. Probably they thought it's about love triangle between those three, while it's heavy on rivalry between the two.

Ikr?

Let's see in the next episode. But my theory is Jeongyo just pretending to protect both him and Pio.

I don't think so. He doesn't have enough convincing motifs to do all that. While the mother does. Remember that she seduced the teacher (by kissing him and all) so he's okay with teaching her son. She will do anything to get recognition from the grandfather.

Yeah, a korean teenager (literally a 16yo teenager) hire foreigners in a foreign country doesn't make sense to me. Especially the theme is a more of a realistic drama, not heavy on thriller or stuff. It needs an adult, and an evil one to do that.

Oh right. And remember that Jeongyo wasn't good at english. It's easier for him to referred her as 'mother' (or eommoni, as a way to called an older married woman) instead of school director.

My theory is Director Yoon (grandfather's wife) left that house 5yrs ago to spends more of her time for searching Jeongyo, since she's the only adult that genuinely cares for him, and she has the money and access. And she's also the one who brings Jeongyo back to the spotlight.

That's cool!

Hey, by any chance are you a writer? (Genuinely asking). Because I do write sometimes as a hobby and your comment gives me an insight on how to write characters better :)
