Me too. I actually think it's pretty good, more than just decent.

I don't see anything forced. If anything, it's going very slowly and developing in a very natural way because of the circumstances these two people find themselves in together.

They're keeping this for the last two episodes.

There can be forced romance (forced by the writers but feels unnatural), but in this drama it's not forced at all. Also, if you're here for the romance, you may be disappointed because it develops veeeery veeery slowly. We have just watched episode 10 and still the two people have barely acknowledged it to themselves, let alone said or done anything.

It's an excellent drama, I'm enjoying it very much.

The romance is coming quite gradually and organically, I don't think it's forced at all.

I am watching him in Phantom Lawyer right now.

The summary says he has a middle school son, so yes, I understand that they will be playing their own age.

Exactly! How is this even allowed?

The thing I really cannot understand is people rating badly the coming episodes that haven't aired yet. This shouldn't be allowed!

Where did you see hate? Some people had a few reservations, but nothing major. The ratings are generally good too.

Definitely. And showed no remorse afterwards.

She literally set her husband on fire after she told him she'd rather see him dead than resign. And showed zero emotion when she saw he actually died.

But I don't think that expressing some reservations means "hating". No need to be that susceptible to any form of criticism. Between "I love it" and "I hate it" there are many many intermediate positions.

You know what "layers" means, right? It means that sometimes I may look cool and composed but be boiling inside. Nobody will notice, but perceptive people, or people who know me, people who have "feelers", antennas, will see in my eyes or in a very slight twitching of the lips the anger I feel under the surface. That's what skilled actors do. It's never only one emotion (or lack thereof). It's what we feel and what we show others. And even if we show what we feel, even then there may be 2 or 3 conflicting emotions at the same time. That's why acting is not a simple job. An actor has to portray the various layers and express many things at a time. (IU does this masterfully).
By the way I liked this actor's job in other dramas where I've seen him, where he had to play someone very similar to himself. He was quite lovable. Maybe here as well, he will find his bearings in the next episodes. I wish the best for him, with all my heart.

Why would they? IU is an excellent actress.

Exactly.

A skilled actor can layer his interpretation. Keep his cool in accordance to the character's position etc. but still show to US, the audience, with small, almost imperceptible details, what's going on inside.

It's because he thought that cool and impassible and introvert means expressionless. He needs a better director.
