big-brother vibe morally gray attraction between ML and FL

when hidden love got to 8.4 that's when the moral outrage haters started just flooding into comments section with salt.

he got the girl in my fated boy tho... and then he basically Jesse Ren kissed her in the last ep. It was so hot LAWD!!!!!!

This drama is going to cause everything Esther wears in it to fashion trend right down to the barettes.

ty thats a good idea

I think some actors throw themselves completely into their scripts and let themselves be more vulnerable in front of the camera when they know the drama's gonna be a total banger. And give less of themselves for shows that are just because they're obligated to do them for one reason or another, but have mid scripts, costars, or directors.

some of what she wears is do-able, but some of it is coture i'll never be able to afford. I loved the corset top she wore with the brown outfit.

Other than the wacky shoulder-pad suit jackets i could live without (that He Yu doesn't wear thank god), I love the way the stylists are dressing everybody.

why can't i bookmark a comment, i dont want to clicky linky until after the show is over, i don't want to spoiler myself on anything but after it's over i want to see whatever you posted.

When she makes him stay with her so she can watch the meteor shower, but then he's the only one awake to see it. I got all teary eyed.

My Fated Boy is in my top 10 all time fav shows, I recc it to people kind of often. It has a really good script and He Yu is so fire in it... I'm fairly sure there's a french kiss scene in the last ep of MFB too.

I laughed so hard when she jumped on the hood of the car like that... BANG!

oh my god, nooooooo justwhy

If poss i'd love an MDL link for this, I can't find it with the search, it's not coming up for me aigoo.

You saw The Rose?!?!??! I'm always the only person who saw that in like every conv i've ever had on MDL lol. And it's in my all time top 10. But no one's seen it but me! It's one I almost never recc to people because almost no one I run into can handle the fury of the badness and the goodness and the twistedness and the lo budgetness. Total total masterpiece.

I did watch Tree of Heaven, gave it a 7.... I remember I loved the way it started out and evolved, and just hated the ending like crazy. Old school k-dramas, so much crying! Also that FL, I'm not a huge fan, she might have dented my viewing experience, she's the one from Goong, right?

At least her hair and clothes are on point, so there's that.

I totally feel you, I tried to start Love.exe the other week, and I couldn't get past ep 2 because the FL was doing that korean "cute" babytalk where they sound like they're talking with a mouth full of marbles and peanut butter.

idk why that accent has gotten so popular with SK actresses and influencers under 30 in the past 2 years or so, but I cannot *wait* for that trend to die out. It makes anything it's in literally unwatchable for me, no matter how good the rest of the drama is.

Same for over the top c-drama babygirl FL, there's one FL I wil never watch because her "cute baby" act is way way too much for me. Can't remember her name, but when I see her face, I bag out immediately on a drama. I can't even handle 5 minutes of it. Ughhh.

I'm sorry Esther is harshing your vibe. Maybe someday SK will do a remake of it, and you can enjoy it more that way. Aigoo.

Bc its everything mia culpa wanted to be but wasnt

YES, here is your list:

1. absolute hands down number one recc: The Rose. This drama will burn your brain, guaranteed. But you have to be ok with it being an older drama with lo budget and hilarously bad acting coming from the ML. WORTH IT, OMG.
2. Devil Beside You
3. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
4. That Winter the Wind Blows
5. My Sister, My Love
6. Marmalade Boy (this one imo is kinda mid-at-best)
7. Ani Ni Aisaresugite Komattemasu
8. A Girl And Her Guard Dog (it's not that good, kinda garbagey crap but it is within the subgenre so just letting you know it exists)

And an afterthought, but also:

Dark Badboy ML done right:

Bad due to circumstance not because hes toxic, crazy, or morally dark
Constantly covered in blood or sweat or dirt or all 3
Doesn't wear pointy shoes or stupid sweaters (Lookin at you, My Demon.)
Almost never smiles
Spine INTACT, never becomes cucked by her or becomes clingy
Isn't a d*ck to her when he has to keep her at a distance and remain firm in decisions
Is actually a sh*tkicker that defies actual death all the time
Is 1000% devoted and will kill anything that tries to hurt her
Isn't an idiot, is actually super smart
Leaves more unsaid than said
Does lots of stuff at night wearing cool black clothes
Is deviant and dark
Wasn't a total slut "before he met her awww"


Such a good ML for dark ML lovers, completely nailed it.
