I agree with this review a lot! I would add something though that bothered me in several newer dramas - and I…
I completely agree with you. This extreme weight loss trend among top actresses is deeply concerning. It’s one thing to be naturally slim, but when even already petite actresses like Park Bo-young, Jung So-min, and Park Min-young start looking visibly emaciated, it’s hard to ignore. Their earlier dramas showed them as slim but healthy, but in recent years, they appear unnaturally thin, and it’s painfully obvious that this isn’t just their natural body type anymore.
The most frustrating part is that these are highly successful women—wealthy, talented, and respected in their field—yet they are still pressured to conform to an unrealistic, almost inhuman standard of beauty. It’s one thing when malnutrition is a result of poverty, but when actresses who earn more in a month than some elites do in a year are forced to starve themselves just to fit a narrow, unhealthy beauty standard, it’s heartbreaking.
The recent situation with Zhou Lusi also comes to mind. She was already slim, but after her noticeable weight loss, fans started expressing concern. Seeing someone so young and already successful still having to go through this pressure is upsetting. People might think acting is a glamorous job, but working 8-12 hours a day under physically and emotionally demanding conditions while being severely underweight? That’s not just unhealthy—it’s dangerous.
And as you said, dramas keep portraying these fragile, underfed women as having boundless energy and strength, which is complete fiction. Anyone who has ever struggled with extreme weight loss knows that it drains you physically and mentally. It’s exhausting just to get through daily tasks, let alone work on a demanding set. It’s disturbing that this standard is becoming so normalized in the industry.
One of the most frustrating parts of the storyline was how unrealistic it was for the wife to wait 13 years to file for divorce.. He was a convicted serial rapist and murderer.. No court would have denied her divorce petition in such a case.. And she would have obviously got the child's custody as well.. This plot point was not only illogical but also stupid..
That is south korea, even speaking truth is denied to rape victims there If there were no human right They would surely sent his wife to jail with him so he can rape her for 13years That south korean law, so that is most realistic thing in the drama.
I haven't watch the 3rd and 4th eps yet, but I think it focus more on ML bcs he's the one who will become "the…
To me Ml look more like a creepy stalker After watching until ep 4 then a hero He hasn't talk to FL still asses ep 4 , never seen a hero this Coward. He believes she is witch and he would die if he get near her, I don't find anything heroic about him Love can never be this coward
Exactly! What’s the point of stunning visuals if the story is a mess and the direction lacks substance? A drama isn’t just about pretty shots—if viewers can’t connect with the plot or characters, no amount of cinematic flair will save it. It really does feel like the director prioritized aesthetics over actual storytelling. Like, is this a drama or a glorified wedding video montage? Priorities seem completely off.
International fans need to have so self reflection and take some media literacy classes. There's a reason Lee…
In 2016, Lee was accused of sexual assault. The case revolved around South Korea's legal definition of "lack of consent," which often requires evidence of physical resistance or incapacitation. Despite the accuser presenting evidence of bruising, Lee was cleared of all charges. He subsequently filed a counter-lawsuit for false accusation. In 2017, the accuser was found not guilty of making a false accusation, but upon appeal, she was sentenced to eight months in prison for defamation in February 2018 Accuser was found not guilty of false accusations which means rape was real but korean law is written by rapists

This is proof how evil this rapist is how korean law is favour rape culture
I see what you're saying, and I agree that portraying the stigma in its raw form is necessary to challenge it.…
I get what you’re saying! To answer your first point—I personally don’t believe in those kinds of superstitions since I’m an atheist, so things like ghosts, fate, or knocking on wood don’t align with my beliefs. But I understand that a lot of people do, and it makes sense that the character might believe it at first, which can make his eventual realization more impactful.
As for the second point about misunderstandings in K-dramas, I totally get that too. Misunderstandings are such a common trope, and sometimes it’s frustrating when characters seem oblivious to something that’s obvious to us viewers. But I guess that’s part of the drama. In this show, the misunderstanding is a lot heavier than usual, which definitely makes it hit harder when the truth finally comes out.
For your last point, I think you’re right—if the show is intentionally showing how society is using the witch accusation as an excuse, then the ML believing it at first isn’t a problem. His belief is part of the story’s purpose. His journey to realizing how wrong that thinking is can highlight the unfairness and help get that message across. In that sense, the show doesn’t need him to “prove” society wrong—the story itself is already doing that.
Has been gathering information about her following her
He is obsessed stalker
Even in ep 6 he was called a stalker
He is a Stalker... creepy one

It's hard find people who appreciate a critic.
