I don’t really like Villain falling in love with FL and pitying her angle ,Villain should be Villain,no love…
His entire motivation is being in love (read: obsessed) with her since they were children. But it's not a love triangle. She holds no feelings for him and he's just a psychopath with a fixation.
I can't with the comment section... i swear it's not that hard to understand both sides instead of focusing on…
People love taking one side and painting them as a saint instead of understanding both sides. It's especially weird here since it's so easy to empathize with both the leads.
Thankfully there are plenty of morally conservative, traditional kdramas to watch for you if you are put off by the more realistic depictions of relationships that Ahn Pan-seok does so well.
I'm happy about how tvN is already doing promo for this. Hopefully they can advertise it during Queen of Tears the next couple of weeks, so that more people become aware of it. 🤩
!! Newest teaser is a liiittle lighter than I was expecting in terms of atmosphere, but that could definitely…
I do think it will be lighter than One Spring Night, and certainly Something in the Rain, but I also agree that it's probably going to be a bit more complex than the teaser suggests.
What drama are you even watching? Because it sure doesn't sound like it's this one. Oh yes, the FL suffering from…
Okay so you only care about the marriage, got it.
Why did she not allow him to speak up after his huge lie about the divorce papers had just been revealed to her by someone else? Gee, I wonder why. Why do you think he deserved to speak in that moment?
They were both suffering! They lost a child! What are you not getting? They are both feeling guilt. They are both struggling. Why do you only care about Hyun-woo's guilt and pain? He's not even the one who had to physically go through the miscarriage? Therein lies the misogyny. Your complete sympathy with the man, while having none for the woman who miscarried, was handed a death sentence and then was deceived by her husband. You sound absurd.

One scene? Like with the employee who's having a hard time? Who she stands up for when she's bullied on the shop floor after reflecting on how she's not taken enough note of her employees' wellbeing before?
She's going through one of the worst things you can imagine, a death sentence, and no one can help her. And you're upset that she's not "reflecting upon her flaws" enough? What kind of nonsense is that?
The whole point of the drama is that Hae-in and Hyun-woo have forgotten how to communicate, with the trauma of losing an unborn child. They never really talked about it, and misunderstandings kept happening. And it (and the Hong family) sowed the seed of further problems, which led to them tip-toeing around one another and losing each other. What we are seeing is them slowly finding each other again. It's clear they both still love each other, and now in the final half we will see them find a way to express that and get back on the right track.
Your vilification of Hae-in honestly just reeks of misogyny.
This fl is literally the worst fl character I have ever seen in kdramas. 8 episodes and she shows no signs of…
What drama are you even watching? Because it sure doesn't sound like it's this one. Oh yes, the FL suffering from a terminal illness who was deceived about her husband divorcing her and has the worst family ever is so terrible! How dare Hong Hae-in even breathe. Also it was literally Hyun-woo who decided to push her to divorce him and go all in on that to give her something to live for so that she can get well enough to receive treatment. Maybe you missed that.
Both the ML and FL are flawed characters which is part of why this drama is so engaging and fresh. Painting the FL as a devil and the ML as a saint just shows you're not paying attention.
About the middle part of your first point, the SML is actually a supporting character/lead so that's why his screentime…
I know he's a supporting character/lead; I'm saying he felt like even less than that. His character had virtually no satisfying development, which is a problem when he's the catalyst for the entire plot that the drama revolves around.
Other than the fact that the writers seemed to give up after episode 8, I had two main issues, both related to the writing (the actors did the best they could with the material they were given):
1. They never did the work to convince me that FL and SML were good friends. SML was treated like a side character and barely had scenes with FL, so the whole marriage deal seemed weird the whole time.
2. They never sold me on the romance between FL and ML. The build-up started out well but suddenly they were confessing in ep 8, which then felt rushed. And then the mess of the forced breakup and the time skip and the reunion and none of it felt earned, none of it was allowed to breathe. They had great bickering chemistry in the beginning, but it never grew into true romantic chemistry for me.
When the writing can't make you believe the drama's character dynamics, immersion is broken and you've just failed. I enjoyed the first half of this drama, but it started going downhill, then fell off a cliff.
