I'm a fan of intricate political plots so I didn't mind it as much as some people seemed to have, I liked seeing all the peices move together, though I do agree it was rushed and sloppy at the very end, the last episode or two . One thing I like about K dramas is how they will show like 2-4 episodes at the beginning from when the leads are kids to give you a better understanding of them and to introduce all of the backstory, and I think this drama could really have benefited from that, because dumping all of the events from 17 years ago at the end was pretty inelegant.

And I def would have liked to see her rise to being a general feel more organic and more of her own choice, rather than something she kept being forced into, and also the result of more than like 2 battles tops. Like it would have been better IMO if she had actually joined the military in disguise to find her husband and trained and fought and worked her way up the chain. I did really love the scene where she took down that big dude swinging the two maces, one of the best fight scenes of the show.

I don't see why you think body shaming is okay when it's about men. Men are allowed to not be super muscular and still be strong and athletic. I have brothers in their early 20s who are all athletes and they just have fast metabolisms and tall /thin genes and look just like the ML does , even though they are very active and strong and eat soooo much food. Would you rather the ML take steroids and obsessively work out so he can have the aesthetic you deem "masculine" enough?

That's not what they were saying though, don't straw man this. They specifically called out masculinity being undermined by wearing make up, they said nothing about how the female generals were depicted in media (and this drama and many c dramas have female soldiers) . They could have just mentioned it not properly conveying the strength and grit of soldiers, but they didn't. If they're going to use gendered terms, you can't hand wave away it being tied to gender and smacking of sexism.

His physical acting was great, he was very convincing as a martial artist. Some people are naturally slimmer, your body shaming is gross.

Right? I wanted soooo bad for Chan to tell HER off and be like "Hey, I get that I kept this from you but you're thinking the absolute worst of me and not even giving me a chance and that's messed up and unfair." But she will never hear those words or have any sort of understanding of them

Haran is gonna feel really dumb when she realizes her BF was a cheating POS and she treated the actual guy who has been on her side from the start like absolute shit. I have no sympathy for her at all. She had a chance to hear the truth from Chan but decided to stick her head in the sand and yet again not deal with her life. She's becoming tedious to watch.

I really disliked Haran this ep. She digs her own graves of unhappiness. Her thinking the absolute worst possible of Chan without even giving him 10 minutes of time to explain himself after everything they had been through together was way worse than Chan not being honest with her earlier. I couldn't feel bad for her at all. If she still needed time to process and was still upset after him explaining the whole story that's totally understandable, but to be so incapable of facing reality as to deny him even an explanation just has me done with her.

I hate when dramas do this same old boring plotline of couple falling in genuine love, some dumb secret or misunderstanding that they don't just openly talk about for no real reason causes them to break up, time passes, they get together in the last 10 minutes and that's supposed to make us feel happy and romantic? It just kinda taints the whole story before it. What happens the next time there is a misunderstanding between them? I don't think Haran is ready to be with someone if she can't handle that relationships and people are complicated and it just makes me feel kinda meh about them as a pairing.

The footage of his memory once he started getting enraged and being a douche felt super weird and inauthentic, it's pretty obvious she made it up to cover up for what really happened, probably because it was her fault actually. Which is honestly pure evil. Like that doctor girls is the worst person on this show.

I feel like K drama writers only know how to write two types of FLs these days, the mousy, naive, selfless pushover who strings the SML along or the unmitigated self-centered bitch who strings the ML along.

What C dramas would you recommend? It's hard to know where to start

I have some bad news for you...

This plot is insane. If they can pull it off it'll be really fun and interesting. I was like man they gotta pick the right actress to be this badass dude, and then I saw it is Seol In Ah and I am satisfied. Perfect casting.

It's because she's a woman. If it was a male lead doing the same people would be raving endlessly about "micro-expressions"

Sooo seated. The chemistry looks fire, this is gonna be a fun one for sure.

Looking forward to seeing Go Youn Jung playing a more reserved character, she tends to get the "bubbly" characters. I think she will bring a lot of depth to this role

I find it refreshing to see FLs taking on roles that toxic MLs used to have in dramas. This looks like it'll be a lot of fun

The poster really captures a nice feeling, it's dark and gritty but with bright edges. I love this writer so I am ready to be taken to some truly deep emotional places.

I like to binge the real depressing ones so I can ride the rollercoaster over a couple days rather than weeks and weeks.

I mean, you could consider OG Chan and Dr Bitch kinda villains.

Omg, I hadn't even considered this version of the drama! If she found out before they fully hit it off, like maybe after they have those first few charged moments of attraction, that woulda been very interesting.
