Many times in general watching dramas. We need to have a suspension of belief. We have flying Kung Fu here
Yes, okay, but that's part of the genre. I'm not questioning martial arts, more her surgery, or how Yan Chi seemed to have the time to carve several bowls, light a fire, cook medicine and made a pair of shoes while Qin Wan lay unconscious, and they were looking for the foreign prince. Or how it wasn't even addressed that the foreign princess wanted to kill her and killed two soldiers. Or how YC found her in the woods anyway, with the most obvious clues as if she was Gretel and the princess and her two dummies failed to find her. But yeah, I'll still agree with you that often times you'll just have to suspend belief.
Ep7, and so far the parents are always making the wrong parenting decisions. When your child expresses curiosity or a wish, maybe it's important to figure out the motivation behind them. "Mum, Dad, I don't want to finish school" - Why??? (my very first question, OMG) and what will happen if I force you to? "How did my sister really die? Why are there so many mysterious concerning her death?" - Why is it important for you to know (dumb question) and what are the consequences if I don't take my time and explain it to you?
you could turn back time and show CGH what happened and who was the actual betrayer and confirm that NH had nothing to do with it, and he'll still not believe a single thing and accuse NH of manipulating time and space
I swear CGH does everything BUT investigate. He just wants confirmation of what he believes to be the truth anyway, he doesn't even stop to think that he's being manipulated. As if all the confirming clues dropping into his lap one after another after that many years isn't suspicious. So far, the king, female lead, male lead and even the dumb prince, have told him to look further into the cases and investigate and still he doesn't.
Truly the first drama I witness where they address heavy drinking and drunkenness (that's always glorified or trivialized in dramas) as an issue. If alcoholism is ever addressed it is mostly shown in the form of an abusive husband, never though as your friend, family or colleague. I'm interested to see where they're going with this, though I think they won't go very deep into the topic because this is still a rom-com.
The only time I saw the fake sibling plot work for me was in The Rise of Ning, but I guess because that drama was much more serious in tone and the leads were just so smart and kind of down to earth (also much better script, pacing and acting). The way the leads here got together felt very anticlimactic to me... I don't know. I feel like the fake sibling plot is only good and necessary in the context of forbidden romance, which only works with a lot of tension and angst. This drama though has zero angst and I think that's what's missing.
Suspicious Partner is one of my favourite dramas and I hold it so dearly to my heart. I was willing to give this a fair shot and not wanting to compare it too much, however it follows the very same script without any noticeable differences, while also compressing two 1h-episodes into one 20-min episodes which takes all the charm for me personally because it does not give room for any believable character setting and development. We'll see if I continue.
I need a spoiler please I've watched the anime & tried to read the manga. I'm on Episode 3The *other man in bed…
We don't know yet, it happened just this ep. So far it looked like he was r*ped. Akin and Jin both believe Akin cheated, though Akin is still in denial because he was so drunk, he didn't and could not consent to anything, and he totally blacked out. But there is a possibility that the scene omitted enough for it to be "only" very strong sexual harassment and no penetration.
But yeah, I'll still agree with you that often times you'll just have to suspend belief.
