Lovely

I miss Minho

lot of screen time yes, love line not that I remember.

I feel like I'm the only person that actually likes SSK, I think she is a good actress but tends to just chose bad dramas, the ones that start good but end poorly.

Didn't know that about kids, but just let me get another example. I had a fever of 39°C last year and I could still carry myself to the doctor without any kind problems.
Kdramas definitely always exaggerate any kind of mild sickness. They be passing out for the whole day and then always suddenly completely recover over night.
Is feeling colder the only side effect or are they things you always have to keep in mind?

To be fair, mostly when a drama character has a headache or such, it's an early sign of brain tumor or something else that could be fatal. So I guess it's good that they go to the ER for every little thing.

this is just one of the small reasons I tend to dislike medical dramas.
What I hate the most in any drama is when they have a mild fever but they suddenly can't function anymore at all. they have a temperature of 37°C and suddenly everything gets blurry and they start hallucinating and all that shit.
I know people react differently, but honestly I had a temperature of 40,5°C once when I was a child, and while I definitely felt like shit and my dad had to carry me, I wasn't passing out and I did't have any kind of weird illusions, especially none where I dreamt I was getting kissed.

yeah, you're right. It's not acceptable, they should've left it out.
I've seen so many unexpected surprise kisses in Kdramas that nobody ever called sexual harassment, that my brain didn't registered it as such. I'll be more attentive from now on.

I really liked the first ep and I also like Saetbyul, there wasn't really anything for me to dislike her.
I could've done with out the dude with the fake tan/black-facing, his nasty ass fake dreads and his bad Bob Marley reggae impression. It's good to know tho that SK will keep reminding me that it has a huge racism problem.

no I dropped it

I should've left a comment about your article as well. Though I do not like the drama, I really did like reading your perspective and I really appreciate how eloquent and funny it was.

I thought people were exaggerating about the QQ and YL filler episodes .... but they were not
I wish they hadn't cut out a lot of ZF and SL scenes before they decided to extend this.

The romance of tiger and rose

i dunno what to think of this drama anymore. I really have no knowledge of mental health but a lot of these doctors seem just very unprofessional to me. sadly not every case is made very interesting, often the "solutions" seem just a little too simple and all of the relationships sees kinda off.
the leads give the illusion they have chemistry bc both of them are excellent actors, but they don't actually have it. I don't even expect them to kiss anymore, but I don't really buy their love story. In my eyes they never really left the doctor patient relationship, which makes it hard for me to root for them. they tell us they are in love, but they could also just be relatively good friends.
I'd argue that Gong Ji Seon and her doctor almost boyfriend are the only one that actually give off romantic vibes.
I think I had liked this better if the leads didn't "fell in love", it would've been more interesting if Lee Si Joon was professional and actually helped treating Han Woo Joo and she would've realized that she did not actually love him.
I'm really only watching for Han Woo Joo's journey at this point.

What I really dislike about Jaeyoung is that he obviously looks down on Yi Sang.
He keeps saying "I didn't like him from the beginning", which is bullshit because Yi Sang literally did nothing wrong, the only reason JY feels like that is because he is jealous. Well, since he likes Hari, fine, I get it, granted.
But now that he knows of YS's condition, he added that "why would you wait for a man like that?" into the conversation and it just shows that he can't accept that HR would chose another man, who possibly can't realize her dream of being a mother, over him who already has a child and is fertile.
It's not about HR not becoming a mother,
it's about his pride being hurt because even against all the odds she still won't chose him.

The whole time I was thinking that adoption should be a good answer for them, but I really liked Hari's take on how having a child should be a choice, not an alternative.
While I don't view adoption as an alternative, but more as a different way to have a child, I'm very happy about how they addressed it and showcase that in Hari's situation it would rather come off as a desperate alternative solution.
I like that they don't view it as something simple or a plan b.

I had to drop it because I really dislike everybody. There was not one single character I cared for, and their love and attraction for each other makes no sense in my eyes. Maybe because it is so short, it just feels like a compilation of cliche scenes in a otherwise less cliche premise, and that simply because the female lead is a divorced mother. However, it is really easy to forget that she has a child, since it really seems like she forgets it herself most of the time. Her relationship wit the male lead just feels like a substitute for her actually child. It's as if she has these maternal needs she has to carry out on someone else or else she'd die, therefor she falls for a man that could really not survive on his own if he had not the money to make people do the most basic daily chores for him. I've seen toddlers being more independent than him. Being scared in the dark just adds further on his character of the biggest man-child that this world has seen yet, only because he treats everybody as if they're less than him, it is not to forget that he is indeed a man and not a child *rolls eyes*. His obviously broken relationship with his mother shall make it clear that he has some mommy issues and that he secretly has been looking for a woman that could fill that void for him, but how convenient that his former housekeeper was a man, so of course he could not realize that.

After thought: why did Anna even think her plan would work? This actually only needed a good talk and all the misunderstandings would've been solved. The succession of her plan should also not guarantee Xixi getting back with her.

ep24: I just don't know what to say. It was too dumb.
There is so much I want to blame Jiaxian for, she is not relatable at all, but I do understand how her mind works. However, it really makes me mad. Everybody tells her how much they like her, but she still would not grew a pinch of confidence.
What I actually don't understand was how she thought it was a good idea to act like Anna's dietician. No matter, how I look at it, it comes of as incredibly sneaky, too. For a character that feels so guilty for everything, I would've expected her to think and empathize more, and to not be aware of her actually acting selfish instead.
I just don't understand how often Xiyi has to tell her, that he broke up with Anna and that she is the one that he chose, for her to finally believe it. Because she never did believe him is why Anna could fed into her anxiety and self-consciousness.

Finally came the moment where I stopped feeling sorry for Anna, I still think she initially did nothing wrong, and that she was treated extremely unfairly by both of them, but really ... I just cannot stress enough that if your bf not only cheats on you but gets someone pregnant and marries them and then partially blames you for the whole situation in your break up??? LEAVE. Xiyi is not actually a bad person, but he really treated her badly, so that's enough reason to leave his cheating ass. There really is no point in holding on to someone like that.

For Xiyi, I sometimes just don't know how his mind works. Honestly. I like that in this version he actually is very decisive compared to the Taiwanese and Korean ones, but boy .... he is really bad at setting boundaries. How did he think it was a good idea to let Anna kiss him on the cheek and throw him a belated b-day party, after she went completely nuts? It was so obvious that it was an act. Which woman with a sane mind and without any ulterior motives would try to be friends after being dumbed like that? Why get drunk with her? To the point that he can't get himself home alone? And what's with the lawyer refusing to nullify the divorce agreement? what kinda bullshit is that??? I'm rolling my eyes so hard I can see my brain.
When he ran after her, he should've just said "I don't ever want to divorce you", that would've de-escalated the situation immediately, because there is no room for misunderstanding. And why would Jiaxian even believe Xiyi would break up with her in that manner? he was two-timing Anna for months because he thought he had to do it face to face.

I do think their relationship still needed a lot of work, especially for marriage, but just because both of them were so dumb is that Anna's plan even worked.

the writer is the one from the romance of tiger and rose, I already loved wait for youth, but if it's just half as good as trotar, I'm gonna be blown away. the trailer also looked very cute

oh my
