Seeing Lee Yeon with the little girl who called out to him but got no help as she was dying made me angry like damn dude you failed so many people, are you going to make up for it? Sending her to the other side was the literal least he could've done for her. (still enjoying the show tho!)

Yes it's true but there was no need to use actual genocide to show that.

It's this scene https://twitter.com/fokanaplazy/status/1656408589215334400?s=20

It's funny how people are more fixated on Yuri cheating on Su Hyuk than on Bora making an Auschwitz/Holocaust reference to justify her personal beauty treatments 🥲. FYI, the reason people in concentration camps worked on their appearance was because if they looked sick they would be sent to the gas chambers to be killed. It had nothing to do with an innate drive to look pretty. The entire production team needs to be slapped for including that scene.

Go to the Amazon website and search for the drama there, do not go through the Prime link. The Prime link is not working for some reason

I don't understand why the writers had the ex gf cheat on the ML. Every single woman in this drama is shallow, stupid, manipulative or selfish, and that includes the FL. This is honestly one of the most misogynistic shows I've seen in a long time. Even Love To Hate you which had a male lead who says he hates women didn't come across like this. I was watching for Yoo In Na who I love but she can't save this.

It's trivializing an event where millions of people were systematically tortured and murdered. It may not be something you're very familiar with in your country or culture but imagine if somebody trivialized Unit 731 which was where the Japanese government conducted biological experiments on prisoners and tortured them to death. Or making a joke out of Ferdinand Marcos torturing and murdering his people. Or a trivial reference to all the people who died during China's Cultural Revolution. It only takes a moment of empathy to realize how wildly insensitive that scene was.

instead of going to Prime go to the Amazon website and search there. I don't know why but if I go to Prime directly it tells me it's not available in my region but if I search through Amazon I can find it and watch it

Yes! The show does a very quick and fun recap at the start so that's all you need to know.

He undermines her and negs her, he's terrible

I hope they address the drinking and don't just use it as a plot device because even by Kdrama standards it's way too much. She was literally diagnosed with alcoholic gastritis and told to stop drinking but she's still at it.

I saw this comment on Twitter and I agree: "She has a drinking problem and self esteem issues. The parallels b/w suhyeok being normal after his breakup and bora being a disaster who is ruining her life over a guy is bordering misogyny. I am out of this show, the writing is very very cringe 😖"

The funny thing is I've been able to overlook misogyny in other shows like Love to Hate You (the ML literally says he hates women and his opinion doesn't change 🥲) but those shows were silly and I didn't take them too seriously. But this show feels like it's trying to say something important about relationships which hell no.

I 100% agree with you.. We are sitting through more episodes of her freaking out over the breakup than we did getting to see them as a couple so I feel nothing when I should be heartbroken with her.

The biggest problem I have with it is that she is completely falling apart while the ML isn't anywhere close to reacting in the same way to his breakup. It feels out of balance to me. Why does she have to lose everything in order to get the attention of the ML? He wasn't even polite to her until he saw her get humiliated.

The director is making a manga adaptation called Enigma starring Prim and Win (Kevin and Kaning) https://kisskh.at/743905-enigma

She was wearing designer brands, one of her coats retails for $4,000.

I agree with everything you said but one thing I wanted to mention is that the original Korean title was One Shot Scandal. The English title is misleading.

They used face smoothing technology to make him look younger. SJK does look young but he still needed CGI to fit the character.

I'm on episode 2 and thinking of dropping but I have a question: the ML catches the FL going through his mail, he asks her why, she says she's interested in him but not romantically and then...that's it? He goes to his apartment, she goes through his mail. And then the next morning she goes to work early and gets caught in his office by the office manager. Why doesn't she get fired? Do we learn something later that explains it? I couldn't really get past it but if there's some explanation later I can deal for now.

This is another general criticism but the color grading and production design are really off for what's supposed to be a sad drama. For example, the siblings lose their home but they end up living with a friend who has a really nice house. Yes it sucks to lose your family home obviously and there's going to be a lot of anger around that but all things considered they didn't land in a bad place so it kind of undercuts the the FL's revenge arc. Also everything is overlit and kind of looks like a sitcom. It's bugging me a lot.

So far my favorite character is the older sister, she's crazy, slutty and hilarious 😆 I also love the lead actors but the overall production is uninspiring.

I'm surprised too. Feels like a lot of people wanted a teen drama or more skinship but were served a multigenerational slice of life instead. I loved it though, miles ahead of the typical BL.
