If you feel super bored watching these characters then I think the writing is doing it’s job lol. These characters…
It took me 3 episode to really get into My Mister & it end up being one of my all time fav kdrama. I didn’t watch it 2 years later after it aired.
If you find yourself coming back to watch each ep, then there’s must at least be something you like about it? I think ep 5 is a turning point in narrative. Watch ep 5 to see if it’s worth continuing or dropping.
If you feel super bored watching these characters then I think the writing is doing it’s job lol. These characters lead very simple mundane ordinary boring lives so it’s kind of the point? It’s not supposed to be exciting (yet) lol. Maybe because I don’t lead an eventful extraordinary life I resonate with these characters lol. Also the parents are quite old fashion so I relate to the siblings & their predicament.
I don’t think the directing style is bad either. It’s quite befitting in tone & pacing. I mean it’s from the same writer so she must have wanted the same stylistic direction visually (not exactly the same) like My Mister for MLN.
Gong Yoo wrote on his 2nd MLN post on IG with the caption - “Rating? Don't crave it.. give it everything like a warrior. Just set up an explosion with your love!!”
The company that MJ works at provides clubs for employees to join. Because it’s a graphic company that usually have people sitting all day, it’s probably a way to promote an active & social life style for the employees to interact and have things to do outside of work.
The ending was already made. KTR knew about the ending before the beginning of the story. So it’s odd to say…
Honestly would have liked to see HD husband & his interaction with present HD & MC. I mean they couldn’t even get a zoom call? These folks live in 2021 not 1950 lol.
I don’t know the nature of their family dynamics-relationship either since it’s kept ambiguous other than he travels for work & he doesn’t know what MC likes. You’re right. I made a comment before how there’s an imbalance between the past & present.
one thing i don't understand also is how come minchae doesn't even know the rest of the squad? i kinda understand…
YJ, Yurim, & Coach YM are definitely the kinds of people HD would speak about to MC since they had a significant impact on HD’s young adult life. But MC doesn't know who these people are? MC was already 2 in 2009 & HD met Yurim at her retirement conference. YJ was still working at UBS as an anchor in 2015 in the epilogue so it's odd that MC never saw or heard YJ face/name on TV.
The writer probably wants to emphasize that things don’t last forever & it’s okay? 🤷♀️ But these people weren’t just nobodies to HD.
The ending was already made. KTR knew about the ending before the beginning of the story. So it’s odd to say the blame is on the shippers? People are going to ship however they please. I mean there are HD & Yurim shippers yet they didn’t get together either?
The breakup was inevitable since MC is a Kim not a Baek.
But seriously, where is MLN cast Swoon-Netflix interview😢.

It was at #4 last week in drama. It’s good to see KJW & SSK up in the charts this week even with minimal dialogue!
So it’s nice to see Gong Yoo promote it with enthusiasm.

It’s also a melodrama so melodramatics will
ensue which is more prominent in the last 4
episodes.
