She has a baby but she is not in a relationship with the baby's father. It's a one-night stand. She was already in love with someone else at the time.

But all this was the scriptwriter's job, not the directors. Or, more importantly, the production company's choices. The director works with the ready screenplay, although he may make some minor changes in the dialogue, doesn't tamper with the storyline.

If one has such high values and standards (and BTW I totally agree with those, and I've never had a one-night stand in my life, although I belong to the "corrupt Westerners"), then don't drink yourself into a stupor, because it's very likely that you will do stupid things you will regret.
Korean society seems to be so repressed that they need the drinking to be allowed to express some of their real feelings and urges, since there is no other available outlet. Isn't it better to express those things a bit more, but in a controlled way, rather than go to excesses under the influence of alcohol and then say "Oh but I was drunk" as an excuse? Everything is condoned, even if you speak casually to your boss or make an inappropriate comment, or dance in a ridiculous way, or confess to someone, or whatever... because it was during drinking. Drinking makes it okay.
I find this sort of attitude very hypocritical.
And of course, once you've had a steamy night with someone, reacting shyly because he looks at you, and generally acting as if this didn't happen, is very hypocritical as well. This person is definitely not the same as a total stranger. For good or for bad, you did share intimacy. At the very least, both of you should acknowledge that there was attraction. Dismissing what happened as irrelevant and non-existent is actually much more callous and unethical than the Western attitude.

Yes, it's a rehash of old k-romcoms from the 2010s. A dinosaur. With all the tired clichés. I don't think they have met as children and I haven't seen the white truck of death, but then I am only at episode 6, so who knows?

I don't see it like that. One of the reasons they love the girl is because she woke up what's best in them; with her warmth and her righteousness, she pushed them to emulate her and become the best version of themselves. That's a wonderful reason to love someone, and love has become the catalyst for the change of heart and maturity that came to both young men.

Very good one.

She's very strong but very quietly so. Inner strength and decisiveness, stubbornness even, but not at all loud - as all really determined people are.

"He does not blame his mother," Ha ha, we all know whom you're hinting at here. We all really laughed when a grown-ass man said "It wasn't me, it was my mom". We are not about to forget that incident.

It has different stages, less severe and more severe. Not everyone is at skeleton stage.

I've watched every drama of hers, because I like her acting, and none of these roles required her to lose weight. It's been a while that she's keen on being thinner and thinner, for her own, unknown reasons.

I found the last 4 episodes excruciatingly boring and repetitive.

Boring and repetitive.
The last 3-4 filler episodes, with all the monologues delivering philosophical junk while we saw flashback scenes again and again and the dialogues about the past - again with flashback scenes - were utterly boring. I fell asleep several times in front of the screen. Yes, they had to wrap up the second leads' story, but they could have done that much sooner, without all the bla bla between the leads, and the cringe unfunny part about events gone wrong.
It could have easily had two or more episodes less, would have benefitted by a tighter edit.

Exactly. The FL didn't walk or talk in such a girlish manner and he makes her to be, she had a decisive gait and a strong personality. This also means that there's not a great difference when she's acting like a man.

It was first addressed in Secret Garden. One even told the other not to shower or go to the toilet - but it was because they thought it wouldn't last long. And the man replied "Not that there's anything much to look at", and she self-consciously brought her hands to her chest. LOL.

In other dramas this was solved by the prince disappearing with his beloved away from the palace and counted as dead.

It's never old. It's the only drama that I rewach every few years.

Oh, you are so kind to write such a ladylike reply to that comment.

Men who had happy marriages tend to re-marry fast, they cannot bear being alone.

"Lately"? I've been watching k-dramas since 2008 and it happens so often! Just think of Jackpot. Bluebird's House. "Something in the Rain". And soooo many others.

For most.
