This is how a drama should be done - Maestra-stroke! 💖 It was not perfect or earth-shattering and had some flaws but kept me engaged, even though we had to wait a week for it.
Also while I was hooked on to K-dramas due to the short format 16/20 episodes but am loving how in recent years many dramas are delivering so well even in 12/14 episodes!
The culture holds people accountable for what the West would consider as "old fashion" morals. Children often…
I understand where they are coming from - this is their way of setting an example and reprimanding the family members and extended families. But then it is so unfortunate that the wrongdoings of one member is affecting someone who has no role in the wrong act whatsoever!
The ML and FL haven't kiss yet. Although they came within inches from doing so in the end credits. Perhaps S2…
Ahhhhh! I think my heart will not be able to take the cuteness but yesss! definitely need that! Their subtle romance needs to evolve now in S2. It is not even in production and am already excited!
I guess we have still not learned from the recent news. Condemn the act and separate it from the artist's work and personal life.
Like what has the son done? I am sure he had 0% involvement in the affair. So why is his cameo being impacted - which in a way will deter his future aspirations?
And will doing this canceling erase the actor's mistake? The reason he has a lawsuit and will be paying the fine is punishment already. Why does everything else have to cancelled. Fine, if through this we want to create examples in society - do it in a better way. Like suspend him from activities for a while or as deemed fit. But that would make sense if you are not giving any other punishment.
Also are we doing this to set examples to reform those who do mistakes, or driving them to a wall so that they have no choices and end up making hard choices?
I guess for all the things I love about Korean culture, this has to be one of the most illogical and baseless things I keep reading and re-reading about. I really hope it stops...
I can't believe how happy I am - but am wondering what will they show in the S2? Like how they will follow their lives from where we left, and I think they will now go to college or work? In any case I am excited to see what it will have in store for the ML and FL.
I've just finished watching an old Korean Drama, New Wise Mother, Good Wife - the ML is a cheater and to win back…
That is just so weird. I have not seen the drama - and am sure this must be a comedic satire of sorts. Good thing, this is only in drama and so we can take non-seriously and not in real life.
She did not have sex with him, he has ED - so they get undressed but don't do the deed. Also when she seduced…
yes, that is the mistake I was referring too.. They tried to show it in comedic light but at the end of the day, it was simply - cheating. No matter if they actually had an affair or just met for meals or talked.
They were hiding it from their friend/partner as case be, and hence it was cheating /betrayal of trust no matter how we see it :/
Anyone knows where to find the background score - when the ML has a winning moment? Like when he is beating the bullies (Ep 2), when he is beating the bully in prison (Ep 3) etc?
Glad that I waited till today (4 Jan) to binge Part 1. Now I can be at peace and excited for Part 2 that releases tomorrow.
Already knew this show would be phenomenon given it has so many of my favorite talented actors/actresses as cast. But this goes beyond expectation not just with the story but the BGM and camera work add to the thrill! Each episode was top-notch - can't wait for it to tie up in Part 2.
Even though i can not understand the rating...If you thinking about starting it, you can definitely do it. It…
Firstly - I love your username! 😍 Second, agree - the ratings are weird but then I have been seeing that for many other shows + lot of other MDLers commenting the same.
Personally, I don't feel like rating airing dramas. Having seen dramas with great beginnings only to plateau & then nose-dive to bottomless pit at the end - I feel one must watch the entire drama & then rate.
And yes, this drama is oddly addictive and done so well. Cannot wait for the ending & it all to come together in a great finish!
"trust is like a glass, once it's broken, then it cannot be repaired" Sharing some thoughts regarding Infidelity - not purely related to drama but since the drama has showcased it, will take it as a reference.
I personally find infidelity in any form (marriage or any other form of relationship) to be unforgivable. The basic foundation for any relation (not just romantic) is trust/honesty which leads to other feelings of love, care, happiness etc in my opinion. So when one in a relationship breaks that foundation I think shatters everything the other person holds dear in that relationship. Does not matter if it was a one-time mistake, or done accidently, It is one of the highest form of disrespect for the relationship & the partner. I do not know how some people forgive their partners through this, I am pretty sure the doubt lingers forever. And if the latter happens, then should one even be in that relationship where you are constantly doubting?
Coming to the drama and the point above - what's even more ridiculous is the person who cheated even has the audacity to come ask for forgiveness. I find it almost laughable which quickly changes into me hoping that I could smack such people 🤣 Just Kidding...maybe 😈
I know as I write this comment cause of my heightened emotions while watching the drama. Some may say that it is not the worst thing out there - I somewhat agree, but then I feel while a lot of things/people deserve second chances - infidelity isn't one of them...

This drama needs more attention!
Anyone can suggest any drama/movie of this in a modern setup?

Not the OST songs/instrumental version of it.
