I dropped two of the dramas she wrote: Blow Breeze and Young Lady and a Gentleman. Sappy, cliché, overdone, infuriating.

That was the lesson Agatha Christie should be thanked for. The murderer is always the person you least expect. Even when you have learned this "rule" from her other novels, she still gets you unprepared every single time!

After the fact, everybody "knew it". LOL.

Exactly. Also, when a person wears a mask, the whole point is not to take it off until you get away from the crime scene.

Yes, we were given glimpses here and there, and then something more substantial.

Not true, we have seen her be helpful to him to teach him about branding, and also to people of the Underdog team when she saw their effort.

I am speaking generally, not specifically about this drama.
It doesn't have to be a realistic kiss, or all the details shown from near, to put the actors in a disagreeable situation violating their intimacy. But at least show them kissing from an angle where one face covers the other, as they do the fake kisses in the theatre. Just so that we as an audience know that the hero and heroine finally kissed, which would be the realistic thing to do in that situation, as it seems very unnatural that they feel such passion and they keep each other at arms' length.

Please don't put this in the same bag as Mr Queen! Body swapping is the only thing they have in common.

I don't know whether it's the plot in itself or they way that the creators (writer/director) handled it. Perhaps all this in other hands would have been good, who knows?

Episode 13 was over-the-top and super-boring at the same time. A lot of noise for nothing.

See, the heroine of the series was in my same position. Shy, very few friends, so she gladly accepted the friendship of the one who offered it. But she didn't see the person was toxic. That's why the story resonated with me - although of course in the drama it went to really exaggerated lengths, but hey, it's a drama! :)

Saying "not everyone is like us" doesn't mean that we have to excuse wrong behavior. It was just a reply to my wondering "how is this possible" and "I don't understand".
Yes, I eventually cut off ties with her. There were other things in her character and behaviour as well, that I didn't approve of. We were something like 13 or 14 at the time.

Thank you for taking the trouble of posting this detailed list. It was an interesting read.
Only one note from me. You say "in the series she is being portrayed as not really wanting to harm anybody". Not really. She wants FL2 to get her husband (with all the violence) AND her cancer. So we cannot say that she means no harm to her!

It will be very satisfying, I promise.

Well said.

I did have a classmate whose mind functioning I couldn't understand. We became friends somehow, and she came to my house and stole stuff from my room - a notebook and some makeup stuff. I saw them when I went to her house. I just took them back, tore the couple of pages she had used from the notebook and left. I mean, 1st of all why steal from her friend, She could have asked and maybe I would have gifted them to her. 2nd did she think I would have never see them? We went to each other's houses, and she also used that notebook at school (it had a distinctive cover). Why would she do that? When questioned, she said she didn't think it was a big deal. I remember telling the story to my mother and my mother told me "Not everyone is like us. Some people have been brought up differently and think differently".

You may be right, who knows. But I really didn't like this drama enough to rewatch any of it, LOL.

He is against animal experimentation but isn't against the use of animal oils. He just thinks that it is unethical to market something as vegan when it is not. But he's not vegan himself. Therefore he might personally buy and use a product with animal oils, but he expects companies to be truthful when they write about their ingredients and practices. Which is what the law says, of course.

I didn't say you said that, no. But you said that women who don't have debilitating pain are rare, a minority, although most of the women I know don't have anything as serious as you describe. A little irritability and headache the day before, something like that, and a wish to stay in bed with cocoa milk and biscuits instead of going out and doing strenuous things.
What you did say was "once you experience the period cramp you wouldn't wish to be a woman.". Somehow implying that period cramps are a deal-breaker: enough to make someone not want to be a woman. Which seems a bit extreme, although some women might feel that way and it's their right to feel as they like, no problem with that, LOL.

Yes, you're right about the electronic code, although that old rooftop apartment didn't seem the type to have modern technology things.
I also didn't get why the gay guy at the office was offended and hurt by the description "man's body with a goddess' soul". Wasn't it an accurate description for someone who is flamboyantly effeminate in his ways (to the point of being a caricature) AND is also a drag queen?
Oh, if we remember earlier episodes, how our ML goes back to the factory at night and everything is open and he can go inside without any problem and see their "secret" forbidden practices. Really?
And a string of other things.
