Why do you think I replied?

FL is more of less written fine.
You can look at her and think her journey makes sense and possible. Even her self pity and sorrow can be attributed to being self-centered character. Most people are, they are more concerned about themselves than others.

ML on the other hand is a fake, wimpy simp and a door mat. Very poorly written and makes no sense.

FL did not leave the island for ML's father.
She went because of growing herself in life, a perfectly normal human thing to do to fulfill their goals and ambitions.

Sometimes point needs to made to give clarity on direction the writer is intending.

If you are offended by my comments, just stop reading my comments or block me.

It is so simple to do than get this worked up!

You forgot how the 2 male characters waited and saved their purity and virginity for the FL their whole life.

details matter.

You don't really understand bro-code.

the writer of this drama has zero idea about men

If you think I have 2 accounts, there are lot of free only writing comparisons one can do, do it.

It's not surprising that people get triggered when presented with facts about this shit drama.
It's time viewers stop patronizing crap like this so that Kdrama can go back to their golden days of producing good quality dramas.

I will keep commenting here, even after it is finished, I will comment to save future viewers from watching this trash.

Oh, don't worry, I will do the same for any future Kdrama with similar shit in it.

I don't really care about the hate comments, not one bit.
Basically tells me I am absolutely on point when people don't argue what I posted and get personal.

Kdramas usually have 1-2 shit tropes but boy this one is basically a dozen shit tropes and no story.

People who argue about bro-code have never had male friends or just arguing for sake of it.
Even in high school, men stick to bro code. These are near 40 year olds who been friends for most of their life. The writers are so stupid to write this shit of a love triangle like this.

This dramas is so badly written, from story, characters, continuity and general commonsense that the worst fault of the drama just flows underneath,

The bro-code.

Absolutely convinced that the only interactions these dumb kdrama writers have had with men is watching other kdramas.
The bro code is so easily broken, without making the 2ML look evil.
Anyone who even remotely knows men or their friendship would immediately realize the shit the writer put in with the love triangle.
Men, especially life long friends have very very clear defined bro code.

Do these writers not know OR may be the writer want to show how fantabulous FL is that life long friends break bro code for this magnificent woman!

If only the writers had never written FL beating ML every episode, this would have been way better.

Still, somehow the dynamic between a Village bumpkin ML and city return FL kinda works.
The writers went for a ML bit slow, has bit of OCD with how obsessed he is with texts and like all Kdrama ML's on the pure side...
usually I would have hated all these in a ML but this one somehow works.

This drama created the stupidest and most oblivious ML and makes it work.

The worse part of the story is that she is the one who ran away
but the writers are not showing any efforts on her part to bridge the relations she destroyed. The ones making the efforts are the people who she dumped for a better life.

And as soon as FL comes back, every man in drama starts simping her.

ML basically declares his eternal, undying, unconditional, pure virgin love for the FL. 30 minutes of each episode is ML and 2ML fighting like horny teenagers, liking boots of Fl, that's it.

If ML took 1% of time he does with Fl to deal with his father, who obviously has lot of issues....
That ML does not even put in as much efforts on his own father that he puts in for FL's mom.

And so much for FL's mom treating ML like her own son.
The drama only shows superficial shit between them, as if to prove that anything related to FL is extremely important to ML, even at the expense of his own dad.
The dynamics are extremely fake and makes little sense.
Really can't believe neither the ML's dad or the FL's mom would ever have talk with the ML regarding life......REALLY! is that how 'real life' works.

This drama is basically porn with FL at the enter & multiple men making her extremely happy.
It is so shallow and does not hide the fact every character except FL is NOT important and does not explore their stores at all.

The clincher for me the love triangle.
Why would the writer even need to have a love triangle for FL? That was what convinced me that this drama is just porn.

it's basically 'look at the FL and how all these hot men are willing to lay their lives for her. And she is playing it so cool'

Better than every other Kdrama on air currently.

In modern dramas, there is almost zero Korean culture reflected,
from their clothing, club culture, dating culture and even their symbolism, which are uniquely buddhist, almost all are gone.

Clothing is the first thing that reflects a culture. When ever i watch movies from different parts of the world, I can easily identify the backdrop from the way they dress.

Whenever I am watching newer Kdramas, it basically is a western drama with heavily operated on Korean actors with Korea as back drop.

Probably the only thing Korean about kdramas could be the women getting piss drunk and passing out on streets.

That's the inherent problem problem of having such an unrealistic ML.

It makes the normal FL look like trash.

Exactly how do you balance a ML who for his whole life waiting only and only for the FL, while she is having multiple relationships?
It's a drama and they need to explain the dynamics.
Else, the danger of FL coming across as trash is multifold.

And the theory that FL was in love with ML while in relationship with other men, makes her a complete trash. People think it's a positive for FL that she still was in love in with ML all the time. It's not a positive, it just makes her trash and unworthy of the men she dated. In fact the last guy who cheated on her, now looks like a normal person.

Well, his purity and virginity is only for the FL, aint it?
Even the 2ML is waiting to dedicate his purity and virginity for FL..

There is nothing masculine or feminist in this.
Either make these dramas resembling real world OR make the world consistent.
If these Kdramas take place in a imaginary world where the men save themselves and fall in love with only one women and stay that way forever, so be it, just declare it as such.

The writers should stop marketing this shit as 'slice of life'.

You are so quick to brand, without ever reading my posts.
I like the FL, she is realistic and makes sense. When I see her, I am reminded or thousands of women I have met.
The ML is a fake, crap, wimp, cucked and worth less than used toilet paper.

Just read carefully what I posted before baring all your guns at me.

Unless if your preference is like the writers of these crappy Kdramas....Hot virgin CEO for the win.

As to why I watch these crappy dramas - to make fun of them. It's one of my guilty pleasures. the dramas I like, it's always a short review. For Shit dramas like this one, It gives so much pleasure to trash them repeatedly.

LMAO...Virgin pure men waiting for decades for the FL. Not one but a whole team of them. My god, even teenagers don't have these kinds of fantasies about their Prince.

the only red flag are the writers...

Imagine writing a story with a FL who had dated multiple guys & ends with up a virgin hot man who only loved the FL and did not look at another woman?

Oh, there is also another hot rich virgin man who also only ever loved the FL competing.

Even posting these lines makes me vomit a bit thinking about the sad mental state of the writers who cares so much about keeping the ML so pure.

In fact, it's not just this drama. most dramas currently airing or just finished all have ML's who are smoking hot virgins.

The ones with serious red flags the writer.

Imagine someone writing a story where the FL purity and virginity is made the front and center of the drama....there would be riots.
BUT the pure ML is greenest of ML's.
Who is Joe Rogan by the way, nvm, I will google him. Since you don't like him at all, he should be a blast to watch.

Three cheers for Kdrama virgin pure hot ML who sometimes are rich and CEO's......LOL, it;s raining virgin men in Kdramas.

Agree with first para but there are different kinds of pressure. While FL got a direct one from ML's dad, the ML's mom went there for friendship. Out of the two, the one with more agency is love.
Again, it all comes down how we view the world.
You are right in how you view these things and I am right in how I view them.

Point though is one lost his wife permanently.

FL was already leaving, with or without the ML. Here is where the writers messed up big time. Her leaving was NOT because of break up.
The most dangerous trope the writers inserts here is that FL was not into the 'losers'. If that was the truth, the real loser and red flag was always the FL and not the 4 'losers' simply because she never gave them a chance with her heart with someone else.
Fortunately the dramas does not show it that way. She was genuinely in love with those men & had no thoughts to return. She wanted to make her life away.
And LOL about lack of personal life. She had 4 boyfriends, amongst ML and FL, it's very clear who had ZERO personal life. Again, another poor writing by the writers.

That's what you call waiting. 'Not moving on' is another way to say that person is waiting.
The writer dropped the ball here completely. The most happening trope in kdramas is the writers giving as many men to the FL. In this drama she has 4 male friends, 5 boyfriends and now couple of men who who only ever loved the FL and did not ever look at another woman.
How is the ML written? Not even female fly near him. It's unnatural writing, only to create the harem so popular in kdramas now a days. the story got screwed big time.

Agreed on FL's mom grieving her friend.
In fact, I mentioned that multiple times in my posts. Sadly that was not explored.
ML mom died protecting FL's mother. ML looks at FL's mom as her own. Now this guy is nearing 40, what kind of mom would not nudge her son to date and get married? Do we even see the Fl's mom ever have these talks with ML? They are so close like real mom & son...
Again, the writer dropped the ball here. There is so much potential to show ML and FL's mom dynamic, it's so strange that the writers do not explore it one bit, except when needed to advance the drama!

I like your theory on WHY the dad is like that. Sadly, the drama does not explore this.
Now imagine if the 2ML does not exist and the writer used that useless garbage in the drama to write more about ML, his dad and FL's mom interactions...
sadly the harem for the FL is more of a priority...hence, my take the writers just butchered this drama.

The drama puts the FL trauma at the front, center and everywhere. The whole drama is about her suffering and everyone else being used to heal her.
It definitely is trauma olympics, thats how the writer has basically written this drama. the amount of time spent on her crying, drinking and the men trying to make her feel better is an indicator of what the writers want's to show and achieve.

That's exactly what my first post said.
The drama concentrates so much on harem for FL and her useless crying over trivial things when other people have suffered far worse....

You said it right...the dad is living a pain past and dragging people into grief....has the writer even explored that aspect in the drama? Instead what we get? hours and hours of Virgin men pledging their undying love for the FL...

My take is not on the characters or actors. They did their best, Not even god could have saved this shit for writing.
It's all on writers, the writing is so illogical and garbage, it pretty much comes across as Trauma Porn for with FL in center.

The ML even after all that dedication towards the FL is again the one chasing her...it's hilarious.
If the genders were reversed, almost everyone commenting here would have demanded the man crawl back and beg and face competition to win the FL, who waited 8 years for the ML and never looked at another man.
