Thank you for this, I get so irritated with comments about the westernization of dramas as if Korean people are innocent children who aren't interested in sex. All you have to do is look at films to know it's not true.

My hater origin story is when they assigned genders to morulas 😑

She wrote Jealousy Incarnate, Wok of Love and Pasta which all had terrible childish male leads and passive female leads. It's her thing.

I watched up to episode 5 and still know almost nothing about Eve.

There's absolutely no doubt about the symbolism, the post-credit scene in episode 1 had a little girl offer an apple to Gong Ryeong like the apple of temptation in the Garden of Eden

If you're not aware, there is a very strong and influential right-wing Christian movement in Korea so it wouldn't surprise me at all if all of this is very deliberate messaging to increase the birth rate since Korea has fallen below replacement levels.

'When The Stars Gossip' draws criticism again for Lee Min Ho's controversial line in latest episode

I had a comment locked on Reddit because I said episode 5 was misogynistic but episode 6 said hold my beer. Jesu Cristo

Oh holy shit. Welp 😐 ETA: forgot to thank you for watching so I don't have to!

Asking a favor: can you spoil me for ep 6? I don't want to keep watching but I'm curious about what happened.

Try Hulu

The fiancee's sister in law, widow of the dead brother

For perspective the nationwide ratings for Love Scout just climbed to a high of 11.4%. That's 8x higher than WTSG at probably a quarter of the budget.

I never cared about possible cheating but I do care about good writing and the writing for their relationship or whatever you want to call it has been terrible . We don't have a clear idea why he'd ditch his fiancee for her after three days and her character went from threatening him with a gun to reacting like a kitten when he barged into her room and wouldn't leave.

I'm seeing him in a different light 👀

The gender thing was so fucking dumb and yet I forgot to mention it in my comment because I was too pissed off at the misogyny. I'll just read your comments going forward and spare myself.

Omg yes to that creepy monologue by GR about how many vaginas he's looked at in his career so that women don't look like women to him anymore, was that supposed to be charming? 🤢 And I agree Eve looks scared of Kangsu. Unfortunately Gong Hyo Jin specializes in characters who are timid and weak under a tough exterior.

It got worse. Absolute disaster.

Eve would have to be a fully written character instead of a cardboard cutout for her to be likeable.

Same writer as Jealousy Incarnate/Dare to Dream, Wok of Love and Iron Family.
