Learned another thing thanks to episode 8. I wondered about the headphones in the MRT. It turns out there are special headphones that don't use ferromagnetic materials and are safe to use in an MRT.
I am enjoying the show. But I feel like the emotional immaturity, displayed by the ML in particular, would work better if the characters where younger, in their early twenties maybe.
Also a number of commenters below are taking the show way too seriously. It is fiction, not a depiction of reality. The FL is not dumb, she's an adorkable nerd in a pseudoscientific world.
Oh wow, nice to hear German in a kdrama (Seo Si Won EP3). Although I had to rewind and listen to it again to understand it, the intonation wasn't quite right. :)
I can't stand people like Seung Hyo. Instead of communicating their issues/feelings they get standoffish and just plain bitchy. But of course the FL will end up with him anyway.
I'd actually love to see a drama where such a character loses out and realizes that such behavior is not okay.
Okay, the telepathy thing is a bit too pseudosciency for me.
The show made me look up research in DNA and infidelity though. While there is no such thing as a cheating gene. There is speculation that genes related to sensation seeking, like a certain variation of dopamine receptor gene, can be associated with a greater likelihood of ONS and cheating.
trying to understand the logic of firing your most famous lawyer whose tv appearances literally brings in clients…
I found the preview confusing too. She is a 17-year veteran star lawyer. Even when fired she shouldn't have any problems finding a job, opening her own Law Firm. Also her being all in tears (because of the job?) doesn't fit her character.
First episode, left cheek. It is the reason why everyone calls her ugly. She herself identifies it as poisoning. But then it is suddenly gone. Because she somehow magically removes it?
Wow, the show title even spells it out here. I've noticed that the Cinderella trope has been trending recently (in cdramas too). And this is peak Cinderella I guess. Not that I mind too much, just would prefer to see some more balanced romances.
An enjoyable watch so far (ep17), but the message is confusing.
ML sees women as inferior to men, accidentally transmigrates into a womans body, turns her miserable situation around, outsmarts the antagonistic women around him, demonstrating his superior wit.
Then he goes on to praise how clever his opponents are and that he shouldn't be prejudiced against women anymore. Even thought the opponents were only a challenge because they had much more resources at their disposal.
FL somehow fails to identify ML as male just because he had a dress draped on him? And then FL recognizes him, but not that he is male, when he shows himself in male clothing? Instead she believes that ML is just that good at disguising as male, lol.
Dropped halfway into the first episode. Acting is just not good. But cinematography is awful. It's shot in what I call "tiktok style", a bunch of short scenes with occasional awkward slow motion, slapped together with little continuity.

Yoo Ri is way too emotionally attached to ... everything. The Sensitive Elliot from Bedazzled came to my mind watching the episode. LOL
Generally there was too much tearing up and crying for my taste.

My suspension of disbelief can only go so far.
Couldn't they find a less masculine ML?
