Yeah... This is not how facts work. It's like watching a fake psychic fish for info from the crowd. You did get one right, but I won't tell you which. I just leave a bit more cheese right here...

I love how random this drama is! One minute I'm cracking up and the next I'm genuinely shocked. I didn't expect to like this as much as I do.

Glad you googled fact but let us work on word comprehension.

Name one about me besides the city where I live. LMAO.

*crickets sound intensifies*

... and scene.

*leaves a few extra blocks of cheese for using your googles and copy/paste*

" if you know more factual information about another person"

*stares blankly* I don't think the word "fact" means what you think it means.

You're obviously just gonna double down on your delusions, but to be so longwinded while contradicting your own points is just tiring. The rock is in your head it seams... hard and dense. Guess it's time for the cheese plate again.

*lays cheese selections out*

Your trolling is gonna help me reach my goal I think. Trying to see how far the stubborn trail will take you is more interesting than this drama ever was, even though it's even more predictable. Trolling tropes are the worst lol!

But you just made a statement about people having their own perception which means you can't be objective while making a claim based on your own perception/opinions. My review is my why. Accepting that people see things differently means accepting my why. Challenging my why with your own ideas about my why is just another perception and not the real answer. The rock didn't change.

Yeah so... that last part is way off. My Life has been a balance of arts and sciences always.
That's an honest fact, so what does that do with your assessment? Will you still convince yourself I'm wrong about my own self because you disagree with my drama review?

Well now it’s clear why this drama resonates with you so much. Lol! As a person who clearly worries about putting up a certain impression for others that probably has nothing to do with who you are in real life I’m sure you relate to the main character putting on a strong and bold front while an insecure person hides beneath. No one who’s so smart has to work this hard to convince folks they are. I’m certainly not convinced so good luck with that. Also the way you keep beating this futile horse in this convo also tells me you don’t mind watching the same thing get dragged out endlessly which is another reason you may connect to this drama.

Since I doubt you spend this much time on other reviews of this drama (probably because no one else will give you this much engagement) here you are trying desperately to sound like an authority on a subject that does not require an authority. I’m just curious how long you will keep this going... I have a goal in mind for when I finally allow you to have your “last word”. So please, tell me more about the me you never met or know nothing about. It’s fascinating. Not great writing at all, but fascinating.

I missed the part where neuroscience means superiority complex fueled by delusions but by all means continue... *insert Willy Wonka gif sarcastically feigning interest here*

I appreciate you taking the time to recap your experience of the drama. I'm sure many people who loved this drama will share some of your feelings. I still don't.

My issue is that the story of an insecure/traumatized woman who creates a new carefree version of herself on vacation, where she meets a man, and then has a hard time dealing with continuous issues of self-doubt and insecurity so she pushes her love away is a very famiar and overdone trope in my opinion. Maybe I wasn't clear but it was obvious to me from the very beginning that that's where the story was heading BUT her growth was reduced to her literally running away and a lot of silly comedic moments that I didn't find much depth in. We didn't even get the quintessential coming into her own regardless of the man moment. She wasn't even a particularly interesting character on her own, so waiting for her inevitable "transformation" felt anti-climactic. Even the chemistry you described felt flat and sometimes even forced to me. At my age I've seen this story done soooo many times before and better that this just felt like an honest waste of time more than anything. Just waiting on her to feel worthy of his love as herself and stop being stubborn or literally running away was boring to me. What you describe as "real chemistry" felt like dragging out the "I'm trying not to like you" cliché. If I liked the couple more I may have had more patience for it. I didn't.

"It's Okay Not to Be Okay" however had extremely memorable characters dealing with traumas and finding love and support and understanding and family in their odd way. It's far from perfect but Moon Young, Gang Tae, and Sang Tae ended the drama much differently than when they started. I didn't see much of a shift in Lee Eun Oh / Yoon Sun Ah at all or any of the characters really. As charming as Ji Chang Wook is his character was very meh, and nothing about her character stands out. Even her creating events just seem like a convenient way to force them to work together.

It just seems that these tropes spoke to you deeply and that's fine. That doesn't mean the story itself is deep. We get it. Many of us have seen this over and over again. Something tells me you're possibly new to dramas. I won't yuck your personal yum, but I don't need to compare to your drama rating style to validate my own. Those who read and like my reviews, even when they disagree with me, I hope can appreciate my honest perspective/reaction without the demand that people agree with me.

I'll end with this...

"Sometimes you think you know everything about another person yet you do not know anything at all"

I think you should sit with this quote because I don't think you understand it as deeply as you think you do, especially since you've created a whole me in your head based on not a single verified fact. I'm sorry my review triggered you so much... jk... I'm not sorry. lol. You volunteered to read it and respond. I am glad you said your peace in detail and I hope you can make peace with that and FINALLY move on. Maybe copy/paste it to your own review and maybe folks who liked it to can comiserate. Just leave imaginary me out of it!

Here is the breakdown. A couple meets on "vacation". That's the chemistry. That's the chemistry that is supposed to carry the whole story and make us believe that he instantly declares his love and they get "married" and despite her reluctance to make this connection serious she decided to go all in on the relationship. That's clearly chemistry and it doesn't start on episode 13.

The circles are at that point a woman who is obviously hiding something and lying about who she is spends way too much time literally running and hiding from this man. That might work for one episode but over and over again??!! Nothing was revealed until finally we see the backstory about why she created this persona and lied. Does this lead to major growth on either of their parts? Nope. He still likes her and can't move on and she still pretends to be indifferent out of fear. Finally they get over themselves and become annoyingly cute in public. The end.

*Takes more notes. Removes undeserved fancy cheese place. Replaces it with a box of Velvetta.*

You're definitely not alone!

I was bored with their chemistry after the initial episodes because their story became stagnant and their actions towards each other were repetitive for soooo many episodes. I understand the reasons given but when it was finally resolved their ending was... meh.

If there was better story development I may have liked them more, but they just didn't do anything for me as a couple overall.

*leaves cheese plate out as a treat for actually speaking about the topic*

*Watches test subject run in circles.Makes note. Adds more cheese out of concern. Shuts lights off in lab for the night.*

*Returns after reviewing footage. Checks boxes. Updates notes. Adds more cheese. Makes sure security camera is working and running. Exits to continues living normal life unbothered*

*takes notes. More cheese. Giggles. Turns on security camera. Leaves for lunch.*

*Rings bell. Takes notes. Adds more cheese*

*places cheese in the comment bubble*

"You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go." lol

How am I the "lab rat" when you're in my lab? Your delusions are fascinating. lol.

And I won't respond to your responses directly because even while copy/pasting my points you managed to completely miss them and continue to go on these wild narcissist tangents. Whether 13 yrs old or Grandma I'm not convinced those degrees cover SEL.

Inflated sense of self (check)
A grandiose sense of self-importance (check)
A tendency to monopolize conversations (check)
Lack of empathy and inability to honor the feelings of others (check)
Attention-seeking (so many checks)
Exaggerate achievements and talents (check)
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it (check)

You should be taking an NPD test not worrying about the SATs.

Also, I don't block people, and we aren't "connected" here, so please see yourself out.

I've been tempted to do that so many times! lol

Of course, you'll continue commenting on my review. This is probably the most engagement you've had in a while. Add obsession to that mix and I'm sure you'll be waiting at your keyboard/phone hoping for just a little more attention.

About the Mona Lisa... I said nothing about Da Vinci's talent or skill... just that it's over-hyped for many. If you actually KNOW so much about the painting you should know it's only this famous because someone tried to steal it, which is why it's kept so far away from people as opposed to other artwork in the Louvre. The insurance is what makes it so legendary. That's not just my opinion, that's basic art knowledge. Google it. You're welcome.

As a professional creative artist, the fact that you keep trying to pull psychological rank is laughable. Correlating musical taste with SAT scores is borderline Nazi, and disturbing. SAT scores themselves are biased and arguably ineffective as proof of intelligence. Did you just graduate from college or are you being homeschooled and prepping for college now? I'm not used to actual adults giving SAT scores this much weight years later. I don't know what app has you convinced that you are more intelligent than most... you should delete it ASAP.

The Office, King2Hearts, My Lovely Sam Soon... I enjoyed them 100% more than this drama and highly recommend all three for various reasons. See how I can say that without claiming a person has to be stupid or smart to agree with me? That's usually how mature folks handle these exchanges. I encourage you to work on that to improve your experience on the site but I know better and expect a narcissistic "But I must have the last word" response in 3... 2... 1...
