They are talking about balls. Eyeballs and testicles sound alike in Korean: nun-al and bul-al

WTF. She has depression, takes antidepressants and gets regularly wasted. And she is supposedly a doctor, as is her drinking buddy.

Dear writers please consult a doctor or just google it FFS.

I am also occasionally annoyed by unrealistic or implausible behavior in dramas.

On the other side, dramas are not documentaries. There is no requirement for them to be realistic. And after all, romance novels with utterly unrealistic men and women have existed for hundreds of years. So it is not a new thing, neither does it affect the wast majority of women in some negative way.

And if fan girls want date Korean men and be eventually disappointed by the reality, so let them be. Live and let live.

"they do both good and bad"

Have there been any recent mainstream dramas with good gays?

Just showing them doing drugs (or other questionable things) frames them as humans who do drugs.

Okay, why is the personal seal a thing in South Korea, given how easily it can be abused?

And why would she give it to anyone? It's like giving away you consent. I wouldn't give that thing to anyone, including people closest to me.

And why the hell did she marry this ahole and even had a child with him. Blinded by love or the restaurant he bought for her mother?

Yeah, I know... it happened for drama reasons, sigh.

Afaik drive and persistence is what makes a high IQ person a genius. So it's not just high ability but also high productivity.

LMAO. He put his career and his friends first and took her for granted. She was a roommate who pays the bills, cleans, and one you can have sex with. So who is the big red flag again?

I agree . The side couples are a waste of screen time, have fast-forwarded through episode 5. I hope they refocus on the main couple as my interest is waning.

Cops being thugs with a badge is a typical kdrama trope. Alternatively they are also depicted as being bumbling idiots or utterly corrupted. Thinking about it, I can't remember watching a kdrama with competent cops.

So in the beginning Sam Dal won't use evidence provided by her assistants to fight back against her accuser.

But in the end she is perfectly fine with her assistants and friends securing new evidence and exposing her accuser...

Well, I guess the writer is at least consistent in the portrayal of Sam Dal as someone who lets others fight her battles for her.

It wasn't for her. It's some kind of financial scheme (possibly illegal?).

And I found the way he treated her and took her for granted just painful and so disrespectful.

Not justifying cheating here btw. She should just have ended the relationship.

Maybe She wanted to provoke a response by meeting other guy(s), get him jealous, make him recognize that she has other options. If that is the case, it certainly backfired (or maybe not ?).

Man-child becomes rich/successful with the sole aim to aggressively rub it in his ex's face for dumping him. But he's actually still in love with her and they get together again. Yikes.

I don't get the appeal of such stories. I find it rather pathetic and cringy.

Yeah, changing a door code or the password to your account is pretty damn difficult. /s

Why shouldn't she be financially secure? She's got a job.

Imo the only challenging part is getting a restraining order. She needs to collect evidence, maybe record all interactions with him whenever possible?

Still, I am enjoying the drama so far, as I'm a sucker for the reincarnation/re-do trope. And the constraints they added here are interesting.

I enjoy it, the confusion. Let's see how deep the rabbit hole goes. :)

I love the hugs. It's such a basic gesture, but it is so powerful.

1. It is not for the ML to reveal the truth to the FL
Even if it might have saved her life?

2. The FL's mother probably made him (the ML) to promise to keep it a secret.
Is keeping a promise more important than someones life?

#2 is a bonus; but #1 is the primary reason, it is rude to reveal that information.
So it is better not to be rude than saving someones life?

I am sorry, but I very much disagree with your argumentation. ML became a weather forecaster to protect the elders! Besides that, look how persistent he is with FL. Given his character, I would expect from him to try his best to ensure her mother has the best treatment and involve everyone around her to help him with that.

But then I was also annoyed how FL threw her career away for story reasons. I guess ML didn't reveal the information for story/drama reasons too.

I am not into sports dramas in general. So I fast-forwarded most of the first episode. But I can see why female and some male fans of the ML might enjoy it. YMMV.

I am mildly irritated that a hospital won't have a pediatrician do her job. Have they got money to burn or something?

Yes, it's a drama. But still, couldn't the writer come up with some more plausible motivation for the "forced proximity" trope.

Nah, the FL doesn't want it.

And the only explanation that makes sense to me, is that she wasn't actually happy with her work/career. And the incident apparently helped her realize it.

And now the rest of the drama will be about finding the "real" Sam Dal.
