It’s episode 8 and they not dating 😩I’m tired bruh!
I love this show but ep 8 was the first episode I disliked because I couldn't believe they had that whole conversation at the end of ep 7 about him pretending to be comfortable because he was afraid she wouldn't come to his apartment anymore and yet they never got together in ep 8. Also the story got super makjang right at the end. I did like getting more of Hae Jin's back story and finally seeing Gwangnam become his bodyguard but mostly I was like 😩😩😩😩😩😩
is it good? i know it's a PMY rom com but is it cute and fun like what's wrong with secretary kim or is it bad…
It's a very strange drama in a good way if you're into that kind of thing. If you go in expecting a frothy romcom, this ain't it. It's weirdly dark with complex characters and some laugh out loud funny moments but also a lot of deeply sad moments as well. This drama is super polarizing and some people hate it but if you appreciate a kind of bent sensibility and unconventional plotting, you will love this.
this casting is attacking me personally 😍 is it any good ?
It's good but it's also really odd. Someone on Reddit commented "I'm still trying to figure out if I like it. I find it compulsively watchable, but all of the characters minus Gwang Nam are just...off (intentionally)...and I find myself struggling to connect with Jamie/Cha Eun (sic). She's a disaster. But a watchable one!"
Ep 5 makes me want to drop this drama. I knew she was going to end up in contract relationships with the male…
The writers of this drama are very deliberately messing with your expectations. For one thing you get dropped into the story when the lead couple has already started to fall in love with each other. And the second male lead is never in the running at least up to episode 6. It's not a traditional triangle.
For the rest of your complaint I think if you keep it in mind that the FL is traumatized by her upbringing and is operating on the emotional level of a 14-year-old her behavior makes a lot more sense. Like I have no trouble understanding the dynamic with Madame Yoo who is her surrogate mother. You see this dynamic play out a lot in dysfunctional mother-daughter relationships
I thought that was the point, actually. Since she was raised to be exactly how other people wanted her to be (her…
I agree with this. She told Jiho that his door was broken but the room is fine, but with her the door is beautiful but the room is a wreck. Her journey will be to emotionally heal and become a real adult.
He has a significant subplot. We had the scene where he tells Sang Eun that his sister blames him for his niece having a girlfriend and the scene at the family memorial where he fights with his sisters because they want him to get married. Plus there are gay rumors about the 2ML so at some point they are going to meet and I'm sure we'll get further development of that plotline.
Thought it was the same everywhere? Isn’t ceremony just a ceremony/party in the U.S. too? Which is why some…
When I got married we signed the papers at the church with the reverend as the officiant/witness so in our case it was all done on the same day but my understanding is that's not the case in Korea, you have to go to a government office and register your marriage. Re: the FL, she says in a voiceover that registered marriages cost more than simply having a ceremony. She's had multiple registered marriages but not all of the weddings are registered.
Really this feels nothing like anything she is done. I think the idea that she does is what makes you think that…
I agree, this is nothing like her previous dramas. In fact, a lot of people hated the first two episodes because they were expecting a standard issue PMY romcom and got weird dark trauma instead.
People are confused about the FL's marriages so briefly: in Korea, the wedding ceremony is just that, a ceremony. You have to register your marriage to make it legal. The ML & FL have a registered marriage, in other words they are legally married. The FL has had wedding ceremonies with other men while she is married to the ML but the marriages haven't been registered so it's just a ceremony, not legally binding.
Okay, now that that's out of the way: four episodes in and I freakin' love this drama. It's so deeply weird. We thought we were getting a standard issue PMY romcom and instead we got romcom elements with dark childhood trauma and an LGBTQ character who isn't a caricature. Also Go Kyung-pyo's social anxiety disorder tsundere with a great body is making me feel things 😅
I think maybe the 2ML and gay bestie are end game and OMG I would love that so much.
There's a lot of time for the story to go completely off the rails but even if it turns into a complete mess in the end these first four episodes have been so good.
His facial expressions during the dinner with his boss had me literally screaming. But he's also bringing it in the more intimate and intense moments. I've always liked him but he is eating this role.
The first three episodes were actually pretty good and fun to watch. Sadly, it is taking the same direction as…
There's a gay character and the 2ML is entering the contract relationship to kill gay rumors so I'd say it's not the conventional SLS or love triangle but of course it depends on how it plays out.
Yeah I am gravitating towards the ML more, too there is something more intriguing to his personality.
I love your description of the relationship between the ML & FL. I think it's poignant that he struggles to connect with people so he pays for a contract relationship so he has someone to care for by feeding her. And she starts to fall for him because he's given her a safe, quiet space where she's fed and no one makes demands on her.
