I don't know about Korea or other countries. Here in the US, corporations are really strict about
harassments of any kind. A man rubbing a woman head at work place, if not harassment then what is, regardless of rank. Not only that, he dared to do that to his manager showing zero level of respect. And she allowed that.
I know it's work of fiction, still it's hard for me to fathom.

Another thing about EP 4 still bothers me. Have the production team researched corporate work environment in the US at all?
The way Chris touched her hair and she allowed that? He would be written up or out of the door for harassment.

The English speaking parts are the lowest points of the show so far. They could have dubbed her on long dialogs to make it realistic since she studied and had a job in a big corporation in the US for 10 years plus. And she was also a project manager. So her English must have been good enough to communicate. She could have spoken slowly. Instead, she spoke fast to show that she was fluent but
I hardly understood a word when she was talking.

U r right. And also Welcome to Samdal-ri

The way she wrote code so fast to design her unemployment schedule, could tell she's a talented web or graphic designer

It's probably too early to tell, but thank God - so far no typical self destructive behaviors like drinking to dead , till completely wasted.

Just speaking my Western mindset. Everybody feels burnt out from work from time to time, but we don't just quit. We need money for living, food on table, then rent, mortgage, car, insurance ect, unless we can afford all that without a job.
But this is a drama, not a reality. So, she may be just burnt out like she said.

FL acted like someone who hit rock bottom. And her antics are like a cry for help. Sadly, no one seemed to care except ML.
Not many people love their jobs or even want to go to work. And not many can afford just quit working because we feel exhausted, fact of life. For someone who seemed to be on top of the world, just one day decided to drop everything, must have been a major event that forced her to do so.
I may be wrong.

K & C dramas tend to paint Moms in a bad light, but not Dads. Like women neighbors in this drama, loud, obnoxious, nosy and bad mouth, back stab each other. And putting too much pressure on children's achievement is like a form of obsessive compulsive disorder.

The way FL kept jumping on ML, chocking him was awkward and hard to watch. Yes, they are best friends since childhood and like siblings. But they have not seen each other for years. And they're adult man and woman now, not little kids. The physical contact was too close, too much, unless they are in intimate relationship which they are not, at least not yet.

I see a lot of complains about time travel and plot holes, understandably.
Time travel itself is illogical and complex. There are many types of time travel out there aka paradoxes. In this drama, time travel concept was presented as simple as possible. Still, there are things that may be unexplainable or at time contradictory, and perceived as plot holes (rightfully so).

Well I disagree about FL, but I agree on ML. I like the show, FL's acting , and chemistry between the leads were great. However, something about ML that I feel it was missing. To me, his acting was one dimensional, and as you put it, nothing exited about.

No, you're not atypical and there is nothing to apologize or sorry for. We all have different tastes. To some ( me included😁) it's awesome. But to others, it's like what the fuss is all about.

It’s probably not as mysterious as I see it, for me at least.
Let say their love can transcend space and time. Their souls can communicate across time and space. And that explains why when SJ regained memory and called out Sol’s name, she turned around as if she heard him even though they were miles apart; and why SJ knew exactly what direction Sol was coming and ran toward her.

It's fine your opinions are different. I don't see the need to keep arguing different points of views as I can see it won't go anywhere with you.
However, it's uncalled for and toxic to condescending dismiss others' opinions as baseless because you don't agree with them, because they don't see things the same way you do. And even made assumption what they like or not just based on their watch list.
You criticize so call haters but your words are no different from them.

I will try to response as civil and respectful as I don't want this comment section becomes more toxic than it already is.
Just because you disagree with other criticisms doesn't mean they are not valid. It also means your arguments are not as valid as you made them sound to be and at the same time you sound dismissing others and passing judgements.
Yes, the villain may not need a heavy back story. He's just a psycho going after someone for no reason. However, to some, it would be helpful to flex out his character a bit, giving a clear reason for his actions as to some viewers, they prefer a clear black and white. And nothing is wrong with that.
About Sol's disability, the drama seems to make disability is like something to overcome. To some it's ok, to others it's too convenient. And it doesn't equate to "woke" as you labeled unless you misunderstand what woke means.
Agree to disagree is ok. But Judgmental is not.

I don't see this listed as upcoming in NF US. Hope it will show up the last week of July

Well, it took half a drama for HT to make it clear to ZD. Even though I don't like her, but as a woman, the scene was hard to watch. Couldn't the writer give her some dignity?

C'mon guys. I love y'all but enough of all of these links from fb, x, insta, and whatever social media sites.
It puts a bad taste in my mouth seeing one main cast milking all the spotlights as if the other main cast and the whole cast were invisible, insignificant. Is this the politics of K-ent like? probably I'm not used to it. And I prefer not to know.
Y'all shouldn't have brought them here, should have dumped them in that artist's page. This page belongs to the drama and the whole cast.

If something that I want to criticize this drama, it would be how it handled disability.
In ep 1 I like how it depicted disability. Sol, from despair to a lively and optimistic young lady. She determined to live a normal and full life despite her disability. Also, from concert goers to the interviewer, no one seemed to treat Sol differently. No one gave her a pity look. And that to me it’s touching. And I was excited to see how the story and the character would develop.
Well, the disability was lasted for 1.5 episodes. She was up and running in no time. Turned out, the drama treated disability as something to overcome. It might be not 100% happy ending, but more realistically, I would prefer at the end, Seon Jae was saved and Sol was back in wheelchair. And he still loved her regardless.
This drama is not alone in this aspect. Similarly, there's a C-drama where the FL had a big scar on her face but the ML still loved her. That's new, right? Well, the scarred face lasted 2 episodes. By ep 3, her face was swapped to a beautiful face.
And there’s another K-drama, the obese character became thin overnight.
Oh well
