the reason why they grew apart is starting to make sense, a miscarriage can definitely drive a couple apart especially if they felt guilty or blames the other person/themself, maybe they stopped talking after the incident which made it more awkward? either way I have to say that kim soo-hyun is the highest paid actor in korea for a reason, up until now atleast it looks like Queen of Tears will be one of the best shows in 2024
hyunwoo he's so dumb lol cant you see that you yourself being so worried about her????????? and you're still mourning…
From his pov he has been suffering mental abuse and loneliness for majority of their marriage, it is said that people tend to remember the bad aspects of a relationship more than the good ones and in his case her mistreatment and apathetic attitude towards him overshadows the love they once had and the small hint of affection he still feels for her...
now they have started using sad music as the bg music which makes the whole vibe so sad, earlier they kept using the goofy music for the scenes so i was able to laugh but all of a sudden everything is so serious ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
Maybe, because that's what they are portraying at the moment. A husband and a wife who don't love each other.
i think its partly because they want the dating phase romance to be very shallow (he doesnt fully know about her thoughts or emotions like puppy love and she doesnt know what it takes to keep a reltionship intact either) and i think they are doing this in anticipation for the chemistry they will display once they fall in love again ep 6-10 approx
he isnt the best person out there but he definitely isn't a red flag...in the first episode we see how he has been utterly mistreated by his in laws despite him being a graduate of SNU (he would have had a lot of pride) and how he and his wife live as literal strangers, granted she had her own reasons but her actions led to them being estranged...In the scene with the psychologist he even describes the effect she has on his mental sanity and despite the fact that he could lose his job/social reputation and even his life he is willing to risk it all just to divorce her, which shows the extent of his hatred towards her
But all of a sudden he is granted another option to protect everything while leaving her (this being her death) and he is shown to be a very typical middle class man(+lawyer) that would obviously think of how to acquire assets since he should do whats best for him...I personally think that most people out there would do what he did and try to get as many assets as possible since at the end of the day they hate their spouse. Its not ethical but most people are quite selfish
i can already see the last few episodes being rlly serious...(regardless of HE or SE I think it will be an emotional rollercoaster especially since we have to wait every week for a new episode)
I'm honestly rooting for the second couple more than the first couple because the main leads have a very average trope and the humor and romance feels quite cliche and over used...
On the other hand the second couple is shown to have more layers with the concept of being single parents to children who arent the same gender as them and the challenges that comes with raising kids/teens. I love how they support each other with regards to their kids and im looking forward to seeing their cute family of 4!!
Can someone explain to me what Myung Ha is all about, he threw himself at our FL, he almost beat her up? This…
the fl has always pointed out since the beginning that he was very unsympathetic and selfish, i personally think that he "wants" her, he just wants to own her since she keeps rejecting his advances and that tempts him more
I guess we can forgot about the preggo trope, don't we?I mean, her pulse was taken...But they might be like ''it…
i noticed that the one that took the pulse wasn't the doctor but the court lady, so maybe her knowledge of medicine is limited to saying that the pulse is slow/fast and not anything beyond that?
Even if he owned a billiards club he wasn't competing with other world class players, and its impossible that…
Why are you bringing up another completely unrelated show like castaway diva rn? the aspect of her being able to survive was unrealistic in castaway diva, but that show is more about other issues like domestic violence, abuse, and how abuse can affect a family as a whole and even the pov of the abuser.
It also talked about healing and new love, more than the main couple's relationship i thought that the relationship the ml's mother has with her new husband was heart warming, if we talk about main couple's relationship then we can see how the scars that affected them as children still affects them when they are older.
We also see the nature of the entertainment industry through the experience of ranjoo and the singer that replaced mokha, the aspect of never being good enough when you are always being compared and how that forces you to stop evolving and copying was also displayed so well. Ranjoo's mother's condition and how that affected her career and how she was betrayed when she was no longer famous definitely struck a chord.
Castaway diva def. has room for improvement but overall it explored a new concept and it addressed many issues that aren't often discussed
true, most viewers started and completed the show purely for the star studded cast and romance
Ok so you are part of the rare percentage of viewers that has actually experienced a successful relationship with your first love and hence relates to a show...
And clarification this is not slice of life, slice of life would be shows like go ahead, reply series, story of minglan, etc.this genre is mainly about their surroundings, society at the time, family and other factors surrounding them. This show is definitely romance with a hint of sports. The side characters hardly have any importance to the plot and they are just there to improve Main couple's relationship.
The ml leaving his teacher in anger is not really the plot, its just the stimulus that forces the ml to become mature, and honestly it wasn't event that important, the bromance as you mentioned was also so 2 dimensional both of them clearly only existed to improve the relationship and to add some comic relief.
You talked about lighter and princess but that show is something i also enjoyed watching and you definitely cannot compare the two, in LP we see the fl actively working hard to improve her coding skills, the fl and ml also display obvious chemistry, the talent aspect was also not unrealistic because a lot of ppl like the ml naturally have great memory. the ml also faced numerous consequences and their relationship had so many layers to it, even the side characters (although they weren't extremely important) had screentime.
I sympathize so much. Even their kiss is so bad. This drama scored 6.8 on a Chinese rating site. 8.7 here? I can't…
Honestly even chinese ratings can't be fully trusted since netizens tend to rate shows lower based on controversies (looks not being good enough) and biases and they are way too obsessed with the private lives of actors and that tends to influence rating...
for this show though i feel like that rating is accurate because its a very mid show, if this came out when i was 12 i would have absolutely loved it, but after watching so many other shows this show feels like it lacks in effort, these days its almost as though writers think that anything will be a success as long as there is romance and good cast
Your comment about Lin Yi Yang's skill at billiards made no sense. You said, "They should have also made lin yiyang's…
Even if he owned a billiards club he wasn't competing with other world class players, and its impossible that new talents who practiced much harder than him, along with natural skill didnt show up in that time frame ( he spent time on working part time and school so he couldnt have possibly worked as hard as other pro players )
I agree that he is a natural talent but its absurd that he is the only natural talent, the world is a wide place and there would naturally be someone who has around the same level of skill (if not more) but practiced during the time frame that he quit.
Personally i don't like it when the plot brushes off everything as natural talent, especially in sports (i get academics because superior memory etc.) but majority of sports is practicing and that involves competing with other world class athletes (idk if its the same for this particular sport but in general)
I absolutely love the ml's emotions while acting, he looks so emotional for all the right reasons and when she's around him you instantly feel like he's so vulnerable all of a sudden
I wish they made the fl's emotions less basic because it feels so annoying to deal with her emotions after seeing the ml's reasoning and expressions (as a baduk player why isnt she using her logic??)
When he said that " I will be a king till the end of my days " it felt really ominous, especially with the thunder coming right after she promised to always stay by his side...As the eps go by i feel like its more likely a sad ending
But all of a sudden he is granted another option to protect everything while leaving her (this being her death) and he is shown to be a very typical middle class man(+lawyer) that would obviously think of how to acquire assets since he should do whats best for him...I personally think that most people out there would do what he did and try to get as many assets as possible since at the end of the day they hate their spouse.
