No, it's not an excuse. It is knowing your target audience. On Facebook, which knows I am a woman, I only get ads for women's clothing (although I might have a husband or a son).

Siwon can get praise for good acting even in a bad drama or movie. But one good actor cannot save it.

You know why you couldn't have been right? I read that Choi Siwon is a fervent Christian, very militant, and he would never accept to be in a drama where a priest was the bad guy.

Because most of the audience is women.

The nice sexual experience. So far she doesn't had any with any of the two suitors. And it's possible that she won't have till the end.

Very often they just get a detailed synopsis and maybe 1-2 ready episodes. The rest is written afterwards. Of course, in this case, even the synopsis would have been a mess. Maybe they didn't have many offers lately and their agency advised them to go for it anyway because "how bad could it be?" (last famous words, LOL!)

The Korean word for both is "dongsaeng", so it's up to the translator. They should have translated "sibling" if they wanted to keep it mysterious, otherwise "brother" makes much more sense.

Probably the Korean said "dongsaeng" so it could be any. I suppose translators just use their common sense to choose.

The founders technically had American citizenship but two were Asian and one a Cairo-born Armenian. They used to have headquarters in Singapore. But they sold it to Rakuten in 2013.
Yes, today the headquarters are indeed in San Mateo, California, with subsidiary offices in Singapore, Tokyo, Japan, and Seoul, South Korea.
Rakuten Group, Inc. is a Japanese technology conglomerate based in Tokyo (headquarters in Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan). As they say in their "About" page, "Serving users worldwide through businesses based in 30 countries and regions. Rakuten Group has 70+ businesses and About 1.8 billion members across the world."

Here are the discussions on Viki itself when the sale was announced. As you can see, no one was too happy about that.

They are not American, they are owned by Rakuten, a Japanese company.

It's on Viki with English, Spanish, Portuguese and French subs right now. Of course it might be subscribers only.

It won't happen. During their date, she was thinking of ML.

And he wore it on the wrist of the right arm, the one he uses for the mouse when he's on his PC. When you use a hard bracelet with a mouse it drives you crazy. At work, I've always worn bracelets on the non-mouse arm (for me the left).

Yes, surely, she has plenty of reasons. We understand. But this doesn't make her less annoying.

What second half? This one showed its colours since episode 1.

To be frank, the female lead doesn't have chemistry with either man.
One has to wonder why they are both smitten with her. My theory is that they are attracted to her because they see she is so child-like, so the make them feel protective and "the strong man, pillar of the family". And this boosts a man's ego.
To be fair, even in real life, I've seen men be attracted to childlike airheads more than to mature, rational women (regardless of other factors like beauty). So that much is realistic.

No.

It would be much too soon for that, when she is still recovering.

Oh, if it's about endings - I think Noona who buys me food /Something in the Rain is still unsurpassable!

She just wrote "I'm sorry" at the end of a note she left at his house. It's not what he wanted to hear. It's "I love you" he wanted to hear.
