It's been quite a long time since I've been this enthusiastic, to whatever extent I am, to really fanboying a show. I really loved it and being a part of this fan-family has been a delight. And Thank You Elif for being probably the most active and vocal member of this family. God bless you.

Yes, 8.4. Just came here and saw this. Great feeling.
Brothers and Sisters, we can do at least 8.5 at this rate, definitely. Let's do this.

Yeah, pretty much. And IANAR is a great drama for that purpose.

TBH, I've never seen a drama before that's not a 50 or over episode drama and have So Many Main Roles. 14 of them !!! Hell I can't even remember a drama with over 50 ep that has this many main roles. I guess I will wait for it to finish to binge, or maybe not, lol.

Vincenzo has fair share of violence, but justified because it's really a revenge drama for the most part. I would still urge you to give it a go. Despite all the violence, chances are you will love it, cause there are a lot of funny elements too.

Yeah, thanks for reminding, I may start watching it again this month.

Waikiki 1 (or rather Gwenchana Gwenchana) are great watch because it's crazy fun. It's the king of pure comedy in Kdrama-land.
Vincenzo is a revenge drama, a great one at that, I don't think there are many drama where the supporting cast is also so memorable. I think it's difficult to forget Vincenzo because the characters are so, so fun.
Mr Queen, that was really, wow! Shin Hye Sun, is truly a queen of acting in challenging roles, first Angel's mission: love and then Mr. Queen, back to back, amazing actress.

I've actually forgot how many times I've re-watched "I am not a Robot" at this point.

I guess she was harsh cause she really wanted to end it quickly for his sake at that time. And nothing breaks a relationship more than hurtful words. She obviously didn't mean that. But again, hurtful words are hurtful words, if I were in Noh's position my world would have fallen apart right at that moment, which also did for him I suppose.
As far as taking advantage of Amnesia goes, she is guilty obviously, trying to totally cover up the past and basically not giving him all the information. If you wanna start something real, you should at least own up your past actions.
However, With her, the biggest problem is, she is putting on a smile and being manipulative to both Noh and Shin-Ah, especially Shin-Ah. Looking at the Flashbacks, It looks to me, that she was a nice girl. But now, with power and leverage at her hand, her character is getting corrupted as she is trying Shin-Ah's dream to be an instructor to her advantage and break them apart. I guess, Greed has gotten the better of her. This two face attitude is probably what I believe is the reason it's pretty much impossible to like her atm.
I guess, when people can't move on and become obsessive about retaining a golden era of their lives even at the cost of destroying other's love at the present, the hate they get is well deserved.

Yeah, important to understand what is a lost cause and just get on with your life.

if only that was an option 😭

I kinda get her though. I mean, she had a pretty good reason for breaking up with Noh. She didn't want it, but had to do it. Then, I guess, the time kinda stopped for her heart. She just couldn't move on, and now she thinks she has a good chance with Noh if Shin-Ah is out of the picture.
Anyway, any of these things doesn't justify her actions towards Noh, and especially Shin-ah. As the days go by, she is becoming more manipulative, trying to break them up. That is just an unforgivable act.

The initial ratings matter a lot. It's the grace period where even horrendous shows get high ratings if the cast is very popular. This show is very unfortunate in that regard.
Now, it's difficult to really up the ratings, I've hardly seen people giving dramas very high rating after it has finished. Still, I think by episode 16, we can get 8.5 if everyone is contributing, especially the new viewers. Let's see.

Almost touching 4k comments, great work everyone.
Btw, those who are enjoying this show but still haven't rated it, please rate it high, if you think it's a 8.5, give at least 9. Reason being, this show was VERY Unfairly judged during the first few episodes and it was just 6.7. Imagine getting such a low rating just after 2 episodes. Many probably didn't even watch the show and just give abysmal rating just by reading the synopsis. After that, this has been an uphill battle to get close to a proper rating, which I think should be at least an 8.5. So, your contributions now will matter a lot.
Anyway, it's my personal suggestion. It's your choice nonetheless. Good luck.

Haven't yet seen 2521. But BP's last 2 episode looked redundant, to me at least, they pretty much served no significant purpose.

I haven't seen any thai dramas yet, except maybe the thai version of "My love from the stars", just saw a few episodes. But yeah, kdramas' ending, especially in rom-com, in general isn't very satisfying, historically.

Yeah, I mean, the ending episodes are very crucial for basically making a show memorable. I just hope they don't do any cliched mistake that many, many dramas end up doing in the end.
"Crazy Couple to team up against the enemies together in such badass ways. 🤞🏼"- I would love that.

I understand your thought here. I agree, now, the craziness between this couple has obviously gone down, I mean, in a relationship there's not really too much craziness that can go on. Right now the focus is probably on the conspiracy.
BUT, I would love to see Noh going crazy at some point to Reclaim his throne in the company. I am kinda peeved a little to see Noh taking hits from Segi without doing much to payback. I guess we will have to see. I really don't wanna see writers mess up at the end of a show and lose momentum, something that happens very frequently in kdramas.

I think the writers did a good job of not dragging Noh's and Shin-Ah's misunderstanding regarding her illness long. That's a good bullet to dodge, something a lot of dramas for one reason or another, fail to do so.
I think they understood that if this goes for long, first, it will be too much for the fans, cause they've waited for the relationship for so long. Also, it would be way too dramatic to keep it going, I mean, this kind of misunderstanding can very easily be resolved in real life, even within a few hours or even minutes.
Also, there's a lot more to explore with the Segi's side of the story, the mysterious female figure too (They could very well be related, of course, there are some pretty probable hypothesis regarding this). Also, for Noh and Shin-Ah to defeat those conspiracy and triumph will take few episodes, obviously. So, good thing not to Drag the illness related misunderstanding for too long.
Although, I am curious to see how will things pan out for Shin-Ah and Noh's relationship as the ex-girlfriend has decided to confront Shin-Ah about Noh and her relationship, also telling her about her past relationship with Noh (based on ep 13 preview). Looking forward to the next episode.

Interesting hypothesis. Could very well be the case. For Segi, it's pretty much about revenge, by the looks of things.
