Unpopular Opinion: Park Sung Hoon doesn't look his best in this show. I don't like to criticize actor's appearance because I try not be vain but here his thinness takes me out of many scenes. I'm supposed to hate his character, and all I can do is worry about his health. I blame it on the styling choices for his character. I actually went back to The Glory to see how he looked there and I notice they almost always have him in many layers of clothes (suit+wool coat), or in a bulky robe. It's a small thing, but really goes to show how important stylistic choices are. I hope Park Sung Hoon is healthy, and just naturally thin, and will keep on making our hearts beat in dramas ^^
LOL I don't think Beom Ja is a virgin, but maybe she is? Maybe all her husbands had ED, and now she's longing for a passionate young man's touch! Our Baek Hyun Woo is so manly and gentle, he'd be perfect for the task. And he's clearly a momma's boy, I'm sure he'll be happy with an older woman to coddle him and dote on him. Yeah YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! Hehehe, keep the ideas coming please hehe
I really hope Mask Girl really is her big break and that she gets to do more things from now on. This show really drags her through the mud, it could not have been an easy role to take on. Also, kdramaland could really use a fresh female face (by that I mean natural, average, normal face) every once in a while.
This show really took me by surprise. Usually they would've dragged the conspiracy for at least 12 episodes, followed with 1 to 2 episodes of the family being humbled, 1 episode of them taking back their fortune, and then 1 episode to tie it all up, PLUS the happy ending. Seeing how they've toppled all my expectations up to now, I'm starting to actually fear for Hae In's life right now. They are really putting an emphasis here on how her illness is NOT curable, and I'm frankly starting to believe them :(
Boy, the first time we see Beom Ja (Hae In's aunt), I really didn't know she'd end up being my favorite character! I honestly like her more than the FL, and I'm rooting for her to end up with the ML after the FL's death. hehe I know, I'm crazy LOL

People decried the use of violent rape in lakorns as a plot device, to precipitate the romantic relationship between…
True. When I watched it, I was so mad that they were going to end together, I kind of fast forwarded the grovel part. But true, he does grovel, and sincerely repent. And she acts like a normal person throughout the whole ordeal. Probably had she not had a kid, she wouldn't have given him a chance, but that's another conversation.
But Sawan Biang is different, so many dramas at that time even, had the rapist ML say: "sorry, I just love you so much. We're together now" ! But at least, we were shown the actual violence of it, and the FL's suffereing, meaning we as viewers could decide for ourselves, if we thought the guy's behavior was or was not excusable. Whereas nowadays, with the meek fight and the pan out thing... I don't know, it's like sanitizing the crime and it rubs me the wrong way. I used to watch dramas with rape/dubious consent back then because it was shown for what it is. Nowadays I'll just drop any lakorn that tries to pull this on me. I was burnt with Mia Jum Pen.
Re-watched this after years, and lakorns these days can't compare to the masterpiece this was.Yes, it is extremely…
People decried the use of violent rape in lakorns as a plot device, to precipitate the romantic relationship between the main characters. What did show makers do in response? They kept the rape and watered down/censored the violence. Yet they still will use it in the same idiotic way. Nowadays lakorn will just cut out the physical fight from the woman and then pan out pff. That was not the problem. Sawan Biang is not perfect, but because in no way it glamorize the rapes or lessens the violence or the pain she feels, or the self-loathing he develops, I think it was easier to stomach.
I agree with you regarding MMH, besides the better part. I actually finished watching MMH a few days ago and started…
Yes I agree with you about MMH being destroyed by the introduction of the ex. It's an overplayed trope and it should only be used ver sparingly and cleverly. To be honest with you, I started FFWing like crazy as soon as she appears and so it didn't really leave too much of a bad taste in mouth because of it. Mostly I prefer MMH because the FL's revenge felt (1) more justified (we are shown at length how bad her hubby and bestie are) and (2) more elaborate. But yeah if PMR had had a better budget it probably would be the better drama.
What about his age? He's 40 and still looks fine, in my opinion. In this drama, he wasn't supposed to portray…
Lol I had to go back and watched that scene, OMG it's true, he actually did a great job with that scene. LOL maybe he was not completely acting hehe. Yeah I agree that Sung Hoon doesn't seem (to me ) like he's passionate with acting. Not only does he not get better, but in I'm Living Alone, he always seemed to me more like someone who "hustles" and just try to make a living, rather than someone who's passionate about acting. I think his real passion was probably swimming and now acting is more of a job(?). Anyway, I'm still rooting for him to get better and have better and better roles.
