Even while smitten with Da-rim, Seon-u is really a sweetie. We know that our lovely straightforward HaYeong will win him in the end so why make a fuss about him being an obstacle to Da-rim and JiHyeok, when he does it so prettily?
I think I may have rated this higher had I not read the webtoon first. I was expecting the members except for…
The webtoon sounds amazing. I was satisfied with the sketchy character arcs because I didnt think this was an emotional drama at all. I thought it was one of those cool pieces that are both perfect and imperfect at the same time, but strike some chord of 'attitude'. Insouciance?
I really think that the secretary should have been included in the main cast. Shin Joo Hyup has my vote for best looking assistant. Great comedy skills too.
Just starting todays ep. , as good a time to light everyone's hair on fire as any, BUT
isnt da-rim just a bit too much of a wet noodle today?
And the lack of clarity towards her relationship with yeon-su?
Normally I am on the side of wait-and-see cultural/historical sensitivity, and maybe cooking for tomorrow has got me nervy but.....I know the loan sharks are a joke and the b-card, but I ground to a halt at her passivity.
Love Triangles and Bromance is just another stupid excuse to force us to watch another person intruding into the…
It isnt the tropes, it is how well they are used. Do they have punch, a little twist? Do they move the plot along? How do they compare to other 2MLs/love triangles/bromances that you do like?
I hate to say it, but if you really cant enjoy tropes/motifs/recycled plots and still think you can stand watching endless numbers of shows made FOR TV you may want to rethink your viewing choices.
Just stick with Netflix originals designed for westerners, or better yet, watch movies -- 1/20th the time to get annoyed.
ep5 The body swap is better than expected but I need a clearer signal about the 'internal reswap'. That is, when they are alone together and having a long discussion we see them regain their own faces, clearly a depiction of inner realities.
The kiss -- I didnt know where to look.
While the visuals generally indicate their return to their swapped body reality, I really struggle to see clearly where they enter the internal POV. Am I missing something obvious?
He he he he...... I don't know which member you are referring to....My opinion is -Cheating is not legally punishable…
Yes, the FL is insanely lucky, thank god for kdrama.....it sounds like you actually have a lot of sympathy for the poor thing. This sort of self-absorbed misery that the FL is blinded by is annoyingly prevalent in kdrama heroines right now. 1. Its a plot device. 2.its an opportunity for the FL to have a character arc. 3. Life in Korea is really really difficult, and the fantasies of kdrama are a way for Koreans to get through it.
There are all kinds of ways in which the uncommunicative self-absorbed frightened stereotype FL works for the primary audiences for kdrama -- that is to say women in their 30s to 50s in Asia and the Mideast. Her struggles and triumphs and comic problems both gain the audiences sympathy and lets them have a good laugh at their own problems and anxieties.
Pretty annoying for westerners, but then we arent the main psychological audience the writers write for.

Re 3, yes but shes not 'useless' just severely downtrodden by constant struggle and failure to find a 'good' job in which you have to include her struggles to get some kind of semi-academic qualification. She's not the best at school and she is over-sensitized to criticism at this point. The crappy way interviewers treat job-seekers isnt fictional. The wage/pay/power gap between the Korean upper classes and everyone else is real and intractable. Making it be her fault is looking at it from your world where maybe social mobility is easier? Or office jobs are available to people who arent great students? yes, she really needs to grow in confidence and given a chance she seems to be able to do so on her own. She doesnt need Prince Charming Fairy godfather to help her to change, she just needs the chance at a job.

In addition to the scandal that Ahn Ji Ho still isnt getting the great roles he derserves.
