Only watched 1 episode so far and this didn't draw me in, so looking for others opinions...If you loved it, why…
There are many quality dramas out there. The story line is crap.
FL's profession is to pretend to be a wife. If you can get around the implications of what that means, may be you can swallow this crap. but there is a lot of crap that keeps piling on and as viewer you need to leave your brain in a freezer to believe what is being shown.
Yeah, apart from that, you get FL constantly in company of nice looking guys - so, it hits that mark I guess...
While the drama was good, the message was horrible.
The story should have been about the children and how the system failed them spectacularly. These kids went through hell and the people who were to support to protect them participated in the abuse.
Let's be frank, justice failed these kids, repeatedly. The ML and others looking at them as monsters was silly. Justice should not be fought for by the victims, it's the system that should fight for justice for the victims. And the system miserably failed and was complicit in the crimes.
When justice fails, revenge is justified. Some may not like it but that is the truth. When all avenues of justice closes, revenge is perfectly justified. Lest anyone forget, justice is also revenge, one that the system takes on behalf of the victim.
The drama should haven shown how it is important to get justice so that victims don't turn into monsters themselves. Instead it fails to empathize with the victims and turns them into some kind of psychos.
I'm fine with trying again but he's just become too much. she cares about him as a friend but she's had to reject…
'friend'... very weird way to put it.
Let's be clear, a man would not give his female friend that much of attention, in the history of mankind, whenever a man is giving lot of attention to a woman, it is simply for a single reason. and it's not friendship.
nobody knows :)))I think there is no love triangle because the FL is not in love with the SML
just because FL is not in love with SML does not mean there is no love triangle. This drama has more FL & SML scenes than Fl & ML.
There are number of sweet moments and even a kiss between FL and SML. The FL mouth says no to the SML but she has no problem repeatedly putting herself in compromising positions with him & let's not even talk how many she gets piss drunk and passes out in front of SML who promptly molests her.
I have said before, it's the SML who make the FL in a dumb idiot. this drama is no different. All the supposed independent strong women are turned into buffoons by the SML.
okay, the comments i read in this section was the last thing i was expecting. let me just put down points about…
Fl does not want the guy she likes being near another girl and she clearly tells him that... but she is constantly with SML who is clearly trying to score her.
Before calling ML or 2ML toxic, one should address the double standards of the FL.
People keep blaming 2ML in many dramas but I see the issue being with FL. Most FL in these dramas draw a soft line which we all know the 2ML will constantly cross. There are many ways a girl can put a guy in his place but somehow FL in these drama don't know it. A sure way to do so is to ignore the shit out of them, which is usually what girls in real would do if faced with similar situation.
The ML acting looks repetitive. In almost all of his dramas, his acting for the ML is the same. If it's the character that is leading to this type of acting, he should choose more diverse roles.
His role in this one felt as if I have watched the same actor play the same type of ML in multiple dramas.
No. Not even close.The ML in ABP one is supposed to be a cold CEO but turned out to be a pathetic clown, while…
Amongst the two, not even comparison.
WWWSK is way better and it's not even close. Characters are consistent in their portrayal in WWWSK and while cliched, it makes sense as to why those two fall in love. in ABP neither the characters makes sense not is there consistency. First couple of episodes were decent and it just went down hill from there.
Is this similar to "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim"?
No. Not even close.
The ML in ABP one is supposed to be a cold CEO but turned out to be a pathetic clown, while in other one, he is pretty much a cold CEO out and out.
And the FL in this one is utterly unlikable and inconsistent. By the end of ABP, I can't really understand why the ML loved the FL. Even the clown of CEO deserved better.
but ABP webtoon is much much better than the drama. the characters are consistent and progression makes sense.

Fun and breezy.
Looks more like a money making scheme than an actual effort to tell a drama.

It is pretty much FL + ML and FL + 2ML interactions.
the 2FL is more often than not is the token bitch in these dramas just there to add few minutes of extra time to the drama.
The basic premise is same. FL, ML and annoying 2ML.
These dramas don't want to change this pattern even a little bit.
It's not the lack of originality but watching the same crappy FL, ML and 2ML in each and every drama that gets you.
This drama has more FL & SML scenes than Fl & ML.
There are number of sweet moments and even a kiss between FL and SML.
The FL mouth says no to the SML but she has no problem repeatedly putting herself in compromising positions with him & let's not even talk how many she gets piss drunk and passes out in front of SML who promptly molests her.

Most Romance Kdramas and Cdramas strictly follow this formulae.
Unless one likes grown up people behaving like 13 year olds.
This drama makes you wonder if the main leads are on drugs or if their brains stopped growing as soon as they hit 13.
In almost all of his dramas, his acting for the ML is the same.

unfortunately it is working.

the FL in Why Her was a piece of garbage for half of the drama.
but I would rather see what's being portrayed than imagine.
be it friends, brothers or lovers.
In this one they are brothers and nothing more.
Imagine seeing lesbian action whenever the FL has some giggles with other girls....
