I loved his pimp in series 1 - sooooo good.

He was good in Kill It and My Mister and decent in Come and Hug Me. I agree, though, that he just stood still and looked pretty in MRIAG and NWABU was garbage all round.

I know that Korea is a conservative country but some dramas suggest it makes the Taliban look enlightened.

Apart from the relentless alcoholism of course.

I often wonder if it's really the Korean/Confucian cultural thing or if the plot plays to the prejudices of the hairy-faced ajummas, not necessarily Korean, who used to constitute the majority audience.

I wonder if Hae Yi's 'mum' will turn up in the later episodes, seeing a meal ticket in her daughter?

Yeah, super weird. As long as it doesn't interfere with the in-school hours, who gives a tuppenny? There's no law or cultural problem where I live (though your contract of employment might, rarely, require you to notify the school).

It's very, very below average - but popular.

But the majority of kdrama watchers are women. And two hot men fighting (lets face it, unrealistically) over a messy or unappetising woman is what appeals to many. They imagine that one day their prince(s) will come, too.

The FL was a childish stalker. No shade to the actress, it was the writing/directing.

Its similar in the way a still-frozen supermarket burger made from mechanically recovered meat is to a slab of waygu.

Don't worry, I'm sure their many cats can show them the affection that they'll never get from a fellow human. And tidy up by eating them when they die.

It's kind of a rule of reality TV, though. If the edit shows you saying lots of super-arrogant things beforehand, e.g. 'this will be an easy win for us', then you are going to lose.

He often posts creepy, misogynistic drivel. Just ignore. Incels thrive on the attention.

Yeah, it's not just hormonal teenagers - many of the maddest 'fans' appear to be unappetising, middle-aged women who are convinced that their 'oppa' reads MDL and will pluck them from obscurity.

Brain Works is excellent (and underrated).

I hope the hairy-faced ajummas/teens who are his 'fans' will leave him and his future wife alone.

I don't like the writing in this - it's weird and uneven. The FL is portrayed as quite creepily 'thirsty' for male attention and very childish (but not in an appealing way) and I'm not sure that the premise works, for me.

Yeah, if you can watch through the FL screeeeeeeching her way through every episode (she has 4 screechy meltdowns in the 1st episode alone).

Didn't one of them famously escape? Hope he wasn't doing the guarding that day . . .

He regularly reads MDL, I understand, and has said he will pick his future wife from the hairy-faced Ajumma's who are his most rabid fans.
