I'm pretty sure this drama is a pys-op by Korean government to promote marriage. The drama really forces you empathize with the leads and builds a beautiful fantasy of romance.
This drama is just amazing. Taking all the cliches of rom-com dramas and switching the genders of the characters!…
They switched all the character's gender in the regular rom-com cliche, expect for characters that are disgusting i.e., the older patriarch. Just because the plot is female driven does not make it automatically better. You need to write good characters. Really disappointed that Kim Ji Won is still choosing junk characters.
This drama is just amazing. Taking all the cliches of rom-com dramas and switching the genders of the characters! This is 3000 level .... no! 9000 level IQ writing. This drama is as good as junk food. Sure, it will taste amazing, but it will destroy the few remaining brain cells! And yeah, I'm ready to lose my brain cells!
This was seriously seriously cute and I loved the ending when they showed the flashback of when he was in the…
Felt sad when I was watching this especially at the end when he was laughing. Scandals in Korea are the really killers and people gossiping about it are worst. The police has blood on their hands for trying to get a easy case win.
You must be new here to this genre. It's a family drama/weekender. Long running dramas centered around often two…
You can search it on mydramalist itself. Click on the magnifying glass symbol on the top right. Then you'll land on the search page. There on the right side you'll find Advanced filter. Under that click on Titles. It will show more options like Type, Country, Genres, etc. There click on 'Episodes'. It will ask for 'from' and 'to' numbers. Since you want to find dramas that dailies, set the from as 100 and to as either 200 or 250. Daily dramas are usually between 110 to 150 episodes. Most have 120 episodes. Also, set the 'Country' as South Korea and 'Type' to Dramas. Between 2018-2020 KBS/MBC/SBS split weekend dramas from two episodes of an hour each per weekend to fours episodes of half an hour each per weekend. This was done to add more advertisements. So you run into some weekend dramas that seem like daily dramas due to similar episode counts.
Couldn't agree more.I'm a man my self but finding this drama is fun and educating as well.
Yeah. Its high time men change a bit. Men are falling back, because they're stuck in the old ways. Emotional understanding of relations is required more than ever for men, to succeed. Paychecks don't keep marriage together anymore.
If women were capable they wouldn't take half the wealth of their ex husbands. Beggars can't be choosers. The…
women are capable and doing better than men. you can check the stats in USA. the reason some women get alimony is because they did not work and were supporting their family. also, women get the custody of child mostly so they end up getting alimony. working women don’t get alimony. some times women who earn more pay alimony. viewership was bound to be low. no star actors, not a prime time show and plot is slice of life. just because the show a has low viewership doesn’t mean the content is invalid.
I see a lot of misconceptions in the comments. First, it's not a feminist drama. No where in the drama was that the focus or even patriarchy. Only thing that comes close to that is the pressure by society on women to conform (get married and have kids). But they have also spoken about the pressure that men have of getting married and being the breadwinner. Mami-Genki relationship was about this. Mami felted disappointed that Genki was conforming to society norms and changed a lot. Second, women choosing to not marry is normal and it's their personal choice. We have progressed in terms of equality of genders. So, thinking otherwise is just straight up regressive. I agree that women did depend on men for resources previously. But that's because women were not allowed to exist individual. They had to be a mother, wife, sister, daughter. It's only recently that they have been able to choose other roles. So just like men they choose to prioritize their own lives over kids or marriage. This was explained by Mukai's mom, Mami and even Miwako. No one condemned marriage or having kids but focused on understanding self and knowing what we want. Third, men need to change and there's not stopping that. The stereotype that men are not emotional needs to change. Men need to improve social skills and try to be equal partners in relationship and not burden women or take all the responsibility. Mukai's character arc shows this. Women (not all but most working women currently) don't need manly-breadwinner types. This is explained by Sakaido when Mukai tries understanding what he meant by 'protect" in his declaration to Miwako.
I liked the drama a lot, so I looked up the source material and it's actually a manga with a same name. But it's of the josei genre which is targeted at female audience. Which is unfortunate as it's a good food for thought, especially for men. The drama handles the topics well without basis and looked at it from different perspectives. Only thing that's missing is a few characters that don't change (stuck in their own ways) and how interactions would have played out.
Watch the complete drama before you make such misinformed comments.
The protagonist's fiance did not show up on her wedding and instead he later found her enjoying her. When he found that she getting married, he wanted to do the same, maybe a little out of jealousy but mainly out of spite. Funny thing is that the investor knew businessman was going bankrupt and used the protagonist's rage as a cover to drop his investment. So the protagonist's revenge caused damage to female lead. Sure its not the right thing but he did it out of rage. Him not telling this whole thing to female lead is partially embarrassment and remorse. Its difficult to just go straight up to victim and just say "I did this, sorry!" especially if the damage was very bad. Also, she's a stranger which doesn't help. I do agree that he was a bit of coward later too. So yeah, I don't think he intended to lie to gain anything or cause harm to female lead directly.
