Shes the poster child for toxic controlling + over protected parent

It does seem like most likely + most of the clues point to her …
But in mysteries: the most likely culprit is never the one who did it! So still not 100% on here 🫣

so looking forward to tomorrows epsidoe to see what else we find out!!

Yes, that would tie everything in!!

What a fun idea - hadn’t really thought much about him!!

So let’s start a vote:

1) Pi o’ŝ Mom
2) that girl competitor who realized how talented Jeong Yo and Pi O were so she stole Pi O’s set to mess him up + paid to have Jeong Yo dumped somewhere (it’s unclear if he was actually supposed to be shot or just detained because argument seemed to show it wasn’t happening they way they planned.)
3) the thug from Korea from Jeong Yo past? (Unlikely)
4) Other - name your guess!

I hear you - we all watch dramas for fun, and if the story doesn’t speak to you - then absolutely no reason to keep watching!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’ve seen so many people in unhealthy relationships- the familiarity often keeps people in relationships longer than they should

And I will say, if it is growth you want, it is absolutely there …. It’s more noticeable when they start to skip ahead a year or so.

I can say, the difference between FL in ep 1 vs ep 20 is a lot. Not just how she looks and dresses, but how she caries herself. And him, he mostly dresses the same, but how he acts is definite growth.

What I love about this drama is the tension between the characters is between the characters. There isn’t some in laws getting in the way or weird ex boyfriend / girlfriend coming up with insane plot creating misunderstanding.

Their insecurity comes form the misunderstandings that they create - the way that he talks to her + the way that she goes cold rock and doesn’t say what she wants / needs for fear that would be the end.

He needs her because he is lonely, and she might be the only one who has the patience to get close to him. She stays with him in the same way I’ve seen many women stay in unhealthy relationships….. just with her, I think she’s on a path to actually succeed in bringing him around to being a good boyfriend. Yes shes get hurt + has to retreat several times - if she tries to cling to him he’ll get even colder. She has to wait for him to trust her + she has a lot more patience than I would.

What she endured is a lot - to act like she doesn’t care when she does,it’s a lot.

You know? My first impression of this drama when ML was showing all the red flags of the emotionally unavailable man who’s just looking for sex disguised as a wonderful boyfriend/ husband fantasy bubble in drama land. If this was real life, there’d be a 99% chance the FL was on a path to heartbreak with a guy with made it known from the start he wasn’t emotionally available (right after first time the slept together - he accused her of binging clingy. HUGE red flag.

What I find interesting about this drama is it doesn’t hide from these red flags, there isn’t one emotional heart to heart between ML and FL and suddenly he turns into Mr perfect and treats her like a princess and morphs into perfect husband material. That doesn’t happen in RL, and it doesn’t happen in this drama either. She deals with the uncertainty his emotional detachment creates for six year, and (spoiler spoiler spoiler!,

SPOILER below from ep 19

You’ve been warned

Spoiler: She even ends up bring marriage up first. This is depicted as a bumpy as hell and draining relationship for her. He makes her cry frequently, she dates him with no guarantee or assurance of any emotional attachment - for six years. Six year, and his growth and maturity is slow going.

If a person wants to date a man who is emotionally distant and unavailable, then there is a very large risk that’s what he will always be - and I think this drama show how painful that wait would be.

So, that’s why I think it’s realistic.

problems with ai:

1) theft of art and literature - they “trained” their ai on real humans beings literature and artwork + DID NOT PAY those people. Often, the underlying artist/ writers works is reproduced almost verbatim. It is NOT the same as training a human being who then adds something of themselves.
1a) quality of art decreases. AI is not true intelligence or creativity, so what it creates becomes more and more bland.

2) data centers - data centers existed for cloud resources, but the amount needed for ai has caused a huge increase in data centers + have made the aggressive nature in how these corporations are grabbing land and actually sue poor small townships that try to stop them. The towns are in trouble either way. So HUGE unsustainable increase in demand.
2a) pollutants, increase in heat, noise, eye sore, pfas chemicals are forever chemicals and they are permanently destroying water our water supply.

3) ai bubble - ai is a huge bubble that will collapse and destroy economy, it’s a matter of time.

4) disparity of wealth - if ai can ever actually do what these tech bro ceos dream it can, those tech bros will replace workers with robots. Those robots can kill humans who protest. The uber wealthy will no longer need common men/ women at all for power or to fight their wars, so they will not care if they are starving.

5) until technology that doesn’t exist yet is invented, number 4 is impossible, BUT creating security threats is very real. Ai is perfect for making a hackers life easier. The amount of cyber attacks is throw the roof and hard working people loose while thieves win.

6) this type of ai tech does NOT scale like previous computer and digital tech. Some tech, like music cds, created a way to copy music so easily - creating huge economies of scale, efficiencies. Ai doesn’t scale in the same way - it actually gets more and more expensive the more complicated the task you give it.

7) I don’t like the deception coming out of the large ai companies- there’s so much misinformation it’s scary + it’s bad for society in general.

I’ll stop here. If ai was allowed to be introduced normally, without the huge deception of greedy ai corps misleading investors and users of the ai learning a tool that they’ll never be able to afford once they have to start charging for it - I’d say it’s kinda interesting techno, maybe it will be something one day. But a disaster is on the horizon + anyone with sense would see it coming.

Thanks for sharing list - it’s so upsetting for so many reasons, the artist they stole from, the decline in quality, the destruction of wilderness and clean water AND the danger to the economy when the bubble bursts.

AI tech isn’t sustainable- it doesn’t scale the same way other tech does, it actually gets more and more expensive the bigger it gets.
The are praying that if they get enough people using it some technology that doesn’t exist yet will make it make sense.

Idiot greedy billionaires who will be completely sheltered from the horrible disaster they’re creating.

Awwwwww - darn it!!! I was really enjoying this, didn’t even realize ai crap was in it.

What’s the world coming to!!

I hate Amazon
I hate oligopolistic corporations controlling everything
I hate destruction of environment
I hate lawyers and political maneuvering by billion corporations tricking local communities into building data structures that are destroying clean water when the ai slop is just and unsustainable economic bubble that does scale and is going to tank the economy and all these idiots backing are goin pg to just sail off away from the communities that they destroyed.

All for a shitier, less original art and product.

Good catch for seeing that in the credits - they should have to disclose that bs up front!!

Great series, great action + emotional investment + some funny moments

Okay - so this is a total soap opera!! If you watch it knowing that, it is amusing and fun. And Ling He look gorgeous. First episode - these crazy plots are already in the works - babies switched at birth, girl friend who’s supposed to be dead turns up alive.
If you want to take the story seriously, I’m not sure this is for you!

This drama is a lot more fun than I expected! A bit of anx during setup, but ep 3 is just fun 😁

Me too 🥰

I completely agree this is a Korean movie, just maybe not best ever 🤣🤣🤣
But yeah, the art director, director, song writer, voice actors, born in South Korea. Because a couple of them moved to Canada their suddenly not Korean makes zero sense to me.

Yeah - I hear ya - I was going to watch this and as soon as I saw that disclaimer, I was like “nope!”
I don’t even care if the show is actually good and not complete crap because of the ai slop — problem is it will be just like corporations putting more and more chemicals in our food over time, our shows are just going to get worse and worse over time.
I might as well switch to reading books now and not support the evil data center owners destroying our land and polluting our water with pfas chemicals.
Believe it or not - McDonalds and KFC were actually edible when I was young, now I’d feather eat cardboard. Same bs is now going to happen to our entertainment.

Yeah - I agree. Financial pressure will push the ai on us, as they’ll go for the cheapest form they can - and at first the ai will be done well enough people don’t notice or don’t care.
- so I am very glad they have to say ai as this gives me hope.

My last hope - people angry at data centers producing pfas chemicals, destroying land, water and peace (they’re noisy) all while causing electricity cost to sky rocket.
- these people will not watch anything that is “ai” tagged.
Maybe then, the ai slop will loose $ and studios will stop trying to force it down peoples throats.

Why AI? Why?????

- it’s bad enough AI has ruined social media - are studios really going to start making “some scenes produced by AI” - what scenes? How much of this has replaced real actors and real cinematography?
It destroys art - it’s not intelligent, its a LLM - it is a probability vector.
What does that mean? - a race to mediocrity for art - all art will slowly move to the center becoming more and more bland.
This is an inflection point, artificial “intelligence” is going to destroy media, they’ll be good quality show before this point in time, but over next couple years it will quickly get worse and worse.
I’d rather read a book
We as consumers can stop it - don’t watch ai, or it will be ALL there is, no one will spend the money to make real movices anymore 🥺

So cute!!
