i saw this argument coming when i wrote my own comment🙏🏻.

i know that these are two different genres, that doesn't stop me from comparing certain aspects anyway. unserious drama does not automatically mean that the writer can halfass characterization, i.e. Business Proposal (just my personal opinion); a more comparable character to hui ju's (if Business Proposal isn't the right example) could also be the female lead from "crash landing on you." So far, i'm missing the charm and SOME sort of depth to hui ju's character. i just find her very shallow and tbh not that likable - and that has nothing to do with iu, but the writing.

(edit: addition to my argument)

no, i'm watching something else. i watched episode 2 today; i'll tackle episode 3 tomorrow!

i do think iu is a wonderful actress, but the script and character quality between this show and "when life gives you tangerines" is .. very glaring tbh. let's see what ep3 will give me

oh okay! thank you :') i just finished ep2!

Agree agree agree☺️! i’ve been saying at least dong man is a jerk to their face, and eun a said the same thing in the last episode as well (and already pointed out their inhumane hypocrisy). they’re putting on these airs and everything, but they’re too cowardly to be outward asses 🤣😒

yes! i love when a show/book “works” me tbh🤣🩷
it’s really about hearing all that is implied but not said out loud, and reading in between the lines! i really loved “can this love be translated” for that reason! and now this little gem…. great times ahead as dong man and eun a keep on learning new things about the other🌬️

do i understand correctly that the queen mother killed the previous king? she was the one who set the chamber on fire?

on episode 2 and ….

I've been thinking about this since yesterday, but I feel like this show and this theme is almost like an extension of Youn Jung's drama "Can This Love Be Translated," in the sense that Eun A learns to understand Dong Man's language and way of expressing himself - she sees him for who he really is. I also think that they're kindred spirits; both are outsiders in their circles who view them as "weird" and borderline annoying, so I feel like that's another common point. Eun A lets Dong Man speak his mind without judgment and listens and sees him, and this freedom to express himself without being met with contempt and any airs of superiotity is what eases him.

yes, exactly!

all that budget and they couldn't do her nails nicely😪🙏🏻

what the hell is wrong with hui ju's press on nails in episode 1😭

ngl at first i thought he took valuables to sell for some quick cash for whatever reason, but it clicked after 2 seconds and then i was sad😭 dong man actually cares SO much

she sure is the only one who has principles and a backbone, i like her!

it isn't the main driving force of the drama :) not sure if there will be an explicit romance between the characters tbh

also, the scene when dong man put away any rope-like things so that his brother wouldn't kill himself by hanging .... heavy😪

Thank you Eun A for pointing out Hyon Jin and company's hypocrisy🙏🏻

Bully Choi Hyo Jin strikes again🤦🏻‍♀️ picks up a fight with Eun A, knowing full well that Eun A WILL talk back only to act butthurt. Truly just a mean girl... Hyon Jin girl you're too old to be acting like that

Just thinking about the college flashback again and how they had all these very mature looking adults play college students… is budget tight, couldn’t they find some 20yo even if it’s for a small scene🤣😭

Not done with today's episode yet, but Choi Hyo Jin so far is *that* girl who peaked in high school and stayed mean. Even IF Eun A was actually annoyed at her, god forbid a woman breathes damn
