JANG UK love any woman who live with him for few days, PLAYBOY Story
A Critical Deconstruction of Alchemy of Souls S2: The Love and Logic ProblemThe Hong Sisters' Alchemy of Souls Part 2, Light and Shadow, concluded the epic fantasy saga, but not without leaving a vocal segment of the audience wrestling with perceived inconsistencies, particularly regarding the core romantic dynamic. While the world-building remained strong, the execution of the central love story and the characterization of its leads, Jang Uk and Naksu/Bu-yeon, often felt rushed and contradictory, leading to questions about the true nature of their bond.
The Jang Uk "Proximity-Based Love" Problem
The most pointed criticism centers on Jang Uk’s seemingly fluid affections. The narrative progression suggests a troubling pattern: Jang Uk falls in love with the woman currently in his life, leading to the perception that his love is based more on proximity and availability than the singular devotion befitting an epic hero.
Rapid Emotional Shift: His deep, soul-crushing grief over Naksu’s death in Part 1 is swiftly superseded by new feelings for the newly awakened Bu-yeon (who holds Naksu's soul). The speed at which Jang Uk appears to move on to the new identity (even before he fully understands the soul swap) undermines the intensity of his initial love and raises the question: Does he love the soul, the body, or simply the role of a companion?
The Writer’s Definition of Love: The storyline posits that love can be transferred or instantly rekindled with a new identity, begging the question: Do the writers understand "epic romance," or is the relationship driven by convenient plot mechanics? The plot involving marriage, kissing, and other displays of affection directed at Bu-yeon—even while she possessed Naksu's soul—makes the previous emotional investment feel cheapened.
The Softening of a Warrior: Naksu's Character Arc
Naksu, introduced as the ruthless, "badass" assassin, experiences a significant reduction in agency in Part 2.
Weakening for Utility: The critique suggests that the once powerful and formidable Naksu had to be strategically weakened—both emotionally and physically—to elevate Jang Uk's role as the indispensable male lead. The shift from a decisive warrior to a more passive, sometimes "crying baby" figure (when played by the new actress) served only to enable Jang Uk's narrative purpose.
Complicity and Consequence: Furthermore, the soul of Naksu, known for her sharp intelligence, appears disturbingly passive, seemingly fine with Jang Uk marrying or showing affection toward the Bu-yeon identity. This diminishes her character’s core strength and sacrifices her unique personality for the sake of the plot's required resolution.
The Casting Divide: A Question of Dramatic Depth
While the story required a change in the physical body of the female lead, the shift in performance style proved highly polarizing:
Part 1 Portrayal (Jung So-min) Mu-deok/Naksu
Nuanced, comedic, tragic, and multi-layered; successfully conveyed the assassin's soul trapped in a weak body.
Part 2 Portrayal (Go Yoon-jung) A more passive, emotionally fragile character, criticized by some as lacking the grit and complexity of the original 'Mu-deok' performance.
For many, Jung So-min's ability to convey the hidden assassin through the comedic, yet powerful, exterior of Mu-deok was the emotional anchor of the series. The replacement, while fulfilling the narrative's visual requirement, was unable to recapture that specific dramatic depth, leading to the sentiment that the female lead became an underdeveloped accessory—present mainly "for kissing."
In conclusion, this narrative deconstruction suggests that while Alchemy of Souls excelled in scale and fantasy, it arguably faltered in the intimate logic of its character relationships. The series seemed to prioritize plot progression and the final pairing over the internal consistency and emotional integrity of the characters' arcs.

Love in the Big City – A Journey of Growth and Acceptance
While Love in the Big City revolves around both leads, my attention was drawn more toward the female lead (FL) and her personal journey. She is an optimistic, easy-going person who falls in love easily but also gets hurt multiple times throughout the movie. Her biggest flaw is her poor taste in men—she tends to attract and fall for the wrong people. Yet, step by step, she learns and improves, becoming more honest with herself and her emotions.In her first relationship, she liked a man simply because he liked her, showing how easily flattered and naïve she was. She isn’t calculative, which makes her an easy target for men who take advantage of her innocent nature. However, the film beautifully portrays how love isn’t about adjusting to others but about being accepted for who you truly are.
By her third attempt at love, she starts dating a co-worker who genuinely understands and accepts her. Unlike her second boyfriend, the lawyer, who was possessive and obsessive, her new partner trusted her and her friendship with the male lead (ML). The lawyer’s reaction, while aggressive and wrong, was somewhat understandable—he discovered his girlfriend was living with another man and was only later told that ML was gay. His trust issues were expected, though his violent behavior was inexcusable.
Her first boyfriend, however, was truly awful—someone who used her due to the image she had in college. The film highlights how both leads struggle to fit into societal norms—ML hiding his sexuality and FL being judged for her free-spirited, carefree attitude. Their unconventional living arrangement only fuels the judgment they face.
What makes Love in the Big City brilliant is its realistic portrayal of relationships, personal growth, and societal expectations. KIM GO EUN delivers an exceptional performance, bringing depth and authenticity to her character. She makes FL’s journey of self-discovery and emotional maturity incredibly compelling to watch.
A must-watch for those who appreciate character-driven storytelling and heartfelt performances!

余生有涯 — When Love Stands Strong Through Life’s Hardships
What an absolutely beautiful drama. Light Beyond the Reed isn’t about fake emotions, overdone romance, or unnecessary twists — it’s about something much deeper: love as a religion — a faith built on loyalty, pain, and understanding.This story shows what real love looks like — love that supports when life is hardest, that stands beside you in silence, that feels your pain without needing words. The husband-and-wife relationship here is one of the most genuine I’ve seen in any drama — pure, mature, and filled with emotional truth. Their bond is tested by hardship and trauma, yet it never loses its warmth or humanity.
The conflict involving the crime was also handled with perfection. The writing never sensationalized it, but treated it with sensitivity and realism. I especially appreciated the portrayal of police officer Lin — a hardworking, determined woman who didn’t just chase justice, but also quietly supported the couple in their healing.
If I have one disappointment, it’s that the rapist should have received the death penalty — his actions were beyond forgiveness. Still, I respect that the drama showed justice being served with a strong sentence of 15–17 years, reflecting how Chinese law doesn’t protect evil criminals the way some other countries, like South Korea, often do in similar dramas.
Overall, Light Beyond the Reed is more than just a love story — it’s a journey through pain, faith, and redemption. Every scene feels like quiet poetry, and every emotion feels earned.
If ratings could express my feelings, this would easily be my first 10000/10.

i like all flawed sister and other character this drama showcases
All three sister are very different from each other which doesn't mean one is right or other is wrongall have there pro and cons
Gong Min Jung role was what impressed me the most....
Jang Ma Ri
A shameless corrupt reporter which you can't prove corrupt because she believes in her own lies very honestly.
That story was my version of the truth, you have your own version of the truth and I have my Own,
Your truth was pitted against mine, and mine ended up winning today, I love that scene ( ep 11) when our Lead protagonist left speechless by a side character because, not always you win everywhere, some people will out match you, no matter what
Oh In Joo( Kim Go Eun )
she shows hidden desires of every Average working person, they all want to become rich and live a comfortable life but are not able to, when get opportunity most of them will act just like Oh In Joo did. but viewer wanted to call her greedy, are you one who will give up 2Million USD when you found it, NO if you say yes, your Lier.
Oh In Kyung ( Nam Ji Hyun )
she has her own principle and think they are above other but she is no better then anyone else when it come to her own family her younger sister she will abandoned her own principle and will do anything to protect what she love most just like all others, but she like to blame others for there selfishness while she give her self a privilege
she believe herself of something that is one and only pure journalist but she isn't , she is same as all others.
Oh In Hye
Most of people disliked her but i don't dislike her neither i like her fondly, she is there to make people see that not all rich are bad and all poor are victim which she said
that is just poor mentality to blame rich people for all there problems,
she was not great as sister, she doesn't care about those sister who she never choose, but she was loyal to her only friend she choose herself, she was rude to her sister but there was love even in her, which she was not able to show toward her sisters but was able to love her only friend,
i hated Oh In Kyung and Ha Jong Ho couple it was really wrong of them to make those two ending up together and leave
Oh In joo and choi do Il just at flirting, at least a kiss to conform there feelings toward each other
Choi Do Il ( Wi Ha Joon )
Good this man was so nice here and the unspoken chemistry between him and In Jo was amazing to watch
sub-- flirting between those two between that tens situation was a reliving wind
at airport i was waiting for them to KISS but no director did not have budget to include kissing scene.......

From Promising Start to Recycled Melodrama
Melo Movie started strong with a fresh concept and impressive first episodes, making it seem like we were in for something unique. But as the story progressed, it fell into the same predictable, frustrating tropes that ruin so many melodramas.The biggest issue? The male lead disappears for five years after kissing the female lead because his older brother had an accident. Five years? That’s not justifiable. He wasn’t in a coma, he wasn’t isolated—he was working, meeting friends, living his life, but somehow, he couldn’t send a single message to the woman he supposedly loved? Either he consciously abandoned her or the writers expect us to believe he was waiting “in the shadows.” Both explanations are absurd. Why couldn’t he just tell her the truth? It’s lazy writing.
Meanwhile, the female lead, now a successful movie director, is still single after all this time. Why? Because the plot demands it. Any realistic woman would have moved on, had admirers, and possibly a serious relationship. But because she’s the “cutest Korean actress,” the script forces her to stay emotionally stuck on the male lead. The show tells us five years have passed, but nothing in the story actually reflects that.
And let’s talk about how this drama glorifies harassment. The female lead has made it clear that she does not want the male lead back in her life. Yet, he keeps pushing, showing up everywhere, and the story treats it as "romantic." No means NO—but apparently not in this show, because the male lead is "good-looking." Are we supposed to believe that if a man is handsome like Choi Woo Shik, he’s allowed to ignore a woman’s boundaries? That’s a terrible message.
Another major issue is how the male lead is treated like some superior being. The director he works for remembers him too well, as if he were the biggest star in Korea. Everyone is overly happy to see him, reacting as if he’s more special than Gong Yoo or Hyun Bin in the film industry. And the ridiculous coincidences? His older brother just happens to buy a house across from the female lead? The script is full of lazy, forced plot devices designed to push the leads back together.
Worst of all, this feels like a recycled version of "Our Beloved Summer." Choi Woo Shik is playing the same type of male lead again—first with Kim Da Mi, now with Park Bo Young. Netflix seems to be making the same drama over and over, just swapping out female leads.
If you’re watching Melo Movie, you might as well check out Our Beloved Summer, since it’s the same drama with a different female lead.
Overall, Melo Movie had an impressive start, but it quickly turned into a frustrating, unrealistic mess. If you’re tired of melodramas that glorify the male lead’s bad behavior while forcing the female lead to wait around for him, this one isn’t worth your time.
Exactly! The male lead’s character feels completely untrustworthy and irresponsible, yet the drama still wants us to believe he’s a romantic hero. He takes life too lightly, never showing any real emotional depth or responsibility, yet somehow, he’s able to support his older brother’s medical treatments, rehab for years, and even afford a new house—all while working as a ghostwriter?
That’s completely unrealistic. South Korea’s film and publishing industries are highly competitive, and an "unrecognized" ghostwriter making enough money to cover massive hospital bills, rehab costs, and buy property is pure fantasy. The drama acts like money just falls from the sky for him, despite showing no signs of struggle.
And beyond the financial aspect, his personality doesn’t fit someone capable of a serious relationship. He vanishes for five years without a word, shows no deep emotional regret, and acts as if he can just walk back into the female lead’s life whenever he wants. His entire behavior screams carefree and irresponsible, making it impossible to root for him in any real romance.
At this point, the drama isn’t just unrealistic, it’s straight-up insulting to the audience’s intelligence.
EP 3 Critics
The male lead clearly expected the female lead to remain single, lonely, and emotionally stuck on him for five years, which is both selfish and insulting. When he sees her simply meeting an old friend (who, of course, is the typical second male lead with no real chance), he looks disappointed—as if he was hoping she had no one in her life.
This attitude suggests that, deep down, he doesn’t think she’s worthy of other men’s attention. It’s as if he believes she should have been waiting for him all these years, instead of living her life. That kind of thinking is possessive, arrogant, and completely unrealistic—especially when he was the one who disappeared!
It reinforces the drama’s problematic writing, where the male lead is always favored, while the female lead exists just to prove her devotion. It would have been much more realistic and empowering if she had moved on, found love, or at least had multiple men actually interested in her—because why wouldn’t a successful, beautiful director have admirers? But no, she’s forced to stay single just to serve the male lead’s fantasy.
It’s another reason why this drama fails at realistic romance.

loving this drama but SML
older FL version goes into past and destroyed Younger FL's first LoveYour FL doesn't love ML or even notice him, Her first Love was always SML which was forced to breakup by older FL
which i find disturbing
adding SML even after they grown up, is dragging a love triangle which doesn't even have any hope for SML
Younger FL feelings were dismissed and neglected by her older self and forced her love on younger version
I have no problem with ML and Fl being together , i got this is light hearted but Love triangle make no sense
there is no need after she broke up with him peacefully
why dragging SML ? because there is no other story then love and a kidnapper is promoted to killer
reduced my ratings from 9.5 to 6.5 after watching ep 12 and 13
this was a good drama and it should have ended withing 10 to max 12 episodes, but for more money they will drama four Hour they don't even have any story for that, they don't even have 2nd lead couple neither they want to give screen time to her brother and besties love story,
ML and FL are good to look at but they are being forced together that is showing on there face
all chemistry vanishes after they finally had a proper kiss, that all there love was One kiss and after that there chemistry just leave the planet..
and drama try to become some confusing time traveling epic but its just a mess, when writers don't have any story they are just filling 4 hour to get some commercials
it stared very well then like every other Kdrama it went downhill from mid of the show....
common thing between most of Kdramas

i watched it because of Cute ML
Drama is low budget trashFL is taking advantage of her senior position and innocence of ML to
play in both sides
from the point she shot her own team( even on vest) she become a traitor and a traitor no matter what deserve death penalty
she should be executed for her action and ML should be charge with treason for being a accomplice in her treason.
no matter what she prove at end, her action are selfish and self centered
there is no concern about her team mates,
her life should be treated same way, she treat other human life's,
why there is exception because superstar got seduced ?
ML is a fool, that is controlled by his lust and doing everything or anything to get that girl,
even if it means to share her with other man,
how come a Kpop star is shown as this much low self esteem,
at first i like it as it has strong FL and cute ML, new for Kdramas but then there is other 2ml,where FL Behaves like a weakling

GARBAGE
Cinderella Game had potential with its intriguing plot and a cast that, for the most part, delivered solid performances. However, the male lead (ML) is completely ruining the whole drama. His acting is so lifeless and emotionless that it feels like he wasn’t even paid a single won for the work. Every line sounds like he’s reading straight from the script without any attempt to connect with the character or the emotions of the scene.What’s truly mind-boggling is how he was even allowed to act this horribly when everyone around him is giving their best. It genuinely feels like he’s on some alien planet, completely disconnected from the rest of the cast and the story. Emotional moments that should hit hard end up feeling awkward and empty because of his wooden performance. The director’s decision to cast him is baffling and drags down what could have been an engaging show.

Love or Obsession? Unpacking the Complexities of "Drama When Phone Rings"
"Drama When Phone Rings" delves into the haunting dynamics of a marriage where love—if it can even be called that—lurks in silence for years, only to surface under extreme and desperate circumstances. The drama portrays a husband who claims to have loved his wife all along but failed to express it for three years, leaving viewers to question whether his so-called love is genuine or merely an unhealthy obsession.True love involves action, care, and a willingness to nurture a relationship. The husband’s three years of indifference show none of these qualities. Despite his alleged feelings, he made no effort to communicate, to make his wife feel valued, or to work on their marriage. This lack of effort and engagement suggests that his "love" might not be as pure as it seems. Genuine love inspires vulnerability and a desire to connect, but his behavior implies emotional apathy—or worse, a controlling mindset where he doesn’t feel the need to prove or share his affection.
When his wife pretends to be a kidnapper, it is a desperate act of seeking validation in a marriage that has emotionally starved her. His sudden change of heart and willingness to show affection only after this dramatic plea feels reactive and superficial. It raises an unsettling question: is this really love, or is it his obsession with possession, control, or the idea of his wife, rather than her as a person?
Obsession often masquerades as love, but it is fundamentally self-centered. It is more about holding onto someone than genuinely caring for their happiness or well-being. The husband’s years of emotional neglect, coupled with his delayed response only when provoked, make it hard to see his feelings as anything more than a possessive obsession. His actions don’t stem from a realization of her worth but from the fear of losing her—a response driven by his ego rather than true affection.
The wife’s decision to stay or accept his newfound love is equally complicated. Should she trust that his feelings are real, or should she recognize that his "love" is contingent on her begging for it? The drama challenges viewers to grapple with these dilemmas, ultimately leaving a sour aftertaste. It underscores the painful reality of relationships built on unbalanced emotional investments and the danger of confusing obsession with love.
In the end, "Drama When Phone Rings" serves as a cautionary tale about the need for communication, emotional honesty, and mutual effort in love. It leaves viewers questioning the husband’s motives, the wife’s choice, and whether a relationship like this is even worth saving.
While "Drama When Phone Rings" initially presents the husband’s actions as self-centered and emotionally neglectful, the later episodes reveal a more nuanced and heartfelt progression in his character. As the layers of their complex marriage unfold, it becomes evident that the husband’s previous indifference was not due to a lack of love but rather his own inability to express it. His genuine feelings, though buried under years of silence, begin to surface as the couple confronts their emotional wounds. His decision to respond with patience, kindness, and understanding, especially when learning about his wife’s desperate actions, marks a significant turning point in the story. Instead of reacting with anger or resentment, he chooses empathy, offering forgiveness and demonstrating the true depth of his love.
Similarly, the wife’s journey is just as transformative. Initially, she sought validation in desperate, misguided ways, but as she sees her husband’s true efforts and love, she begins to open herself up in ways that weren’t possible before. Her willingness to accept his vulnerabilities, even when she uncovers his own secret, highlights the growth of their relationship. The drama beautifully portrays how both characters, once emotionally distant and guarded, find strength in their mutual support and understanding. They both accept each other’s flaws, fostering an environment where trust and emotional honesty can finally flourish.
The couple’s shared vulnerability becomes the cornerstone of their evolving relationship. While the drama started with an unsettling question of obsession versus love, it ultimately leads to a more hopeful message: love can be redefined, even after years of neglect, if both partners are willing to face their fears, be vulnerable, and rebuild their emotional connection. The husband’s and wife’s journey toward mutual support and acceptance not only heals their individual wounds but also lays the foundation for a more balanced, loving partnership.
"Drama When Phone Rings" ultimately celebrates the power of communication, emotional growth, and mutual care, showing that love can be rediscovered, even in the most challenging circumstances. Both characters, in accepting each other’s secrets and supporting one another’s growth, prove that a strong, loving relationship is built on the willingness to understand, forgive, and evolve together.

The storyline suddenly became childish. Very serious issues like financial fraud and adultery were sugar-coated as if they were minor inconveniences. The show kept pushing the idea that everything could be brushed aside simply by slapping “defamation law” on it. Instead of addressing the actual wrongdoing, the drama used defamation as a shield to silence the truth, which unintentionally highlighted how easily truth can be suppressed in Korea using these laws.
It even showed how a private law firm could practically control someone’s life — seizing property, restricting speech, and overriding basic rights. Whether intended or not, it painted a pretty bleak picture of how little freedom of speech seems to exist in that legal environment.
Oddly enough, the romance between the main leads lacked spark. Most of the time they felt more like siblings than lovers, with zero passionate chemistry.
The real saving grace of the show was the doctor and CEO couple. Their relationship felt far more genuine, mature, and emotionally compelling. Their scenes had actual passion, warmth, and tension — the kind the lead couple desperately lacked.
Overall, the drama had potential and began extremely well, but it stumbled once the plot tried to balance serious crimes with a soft rom-com tone. The secondary couple ended up being the only emotionally satisfying part of the entire story.

Thanks to Fl I change my rating from 9 to 1, she made this drama Garbage ?️
Heo's Diner is an unexpectedly charming drama that shines brightest thanks to its male lead. Watching the ML—a genius from the past—navigate the complexities of modern-day Seoul is both heartwarming and hilarious. His character is written with a great balance of brilliance and innocence, and the actor delivers this with sincerity. The way he gradually adjusts to the fast-paced, often cynical world around him while still holding onto his kind nature is one of the drama’s strongest points.The storyline itself is engaging, with a nice mix of mystery, emotional beats, and light comedy. Another standout is the villain—played by the second male lead—who does a great job of being detestable. Even with his good looks and charm, you can’t help but hate him, which is exactly what a well-written and well-acted antagonist should do.
However, where the drama stumbles is in the female lead. For a modern-day woman living and working in a competitive city like Seoul, her character is shockingly naive and frustratingly foolish. She blindly trusts a man who is clearly her business rival, without even the slightest suspicion. While it’s understandable for the ML to be overly trusting due to his background, the FL’s choices just don’t make sense. Instead of showing street smarts or professionalism, she comes across as almost unbelievably gullible.
The contrast between the ML’s innocent but justifiable trust and the FL’s sheer idiocy is jarring. It’s hard to root for her or take her seriously, especially when she constantly makes decisions that no sane, city-savvy person would make.
One major flaw in Heo Diner is its baffling portrayal of law enforcement—there appears to be just one single cop in the entire storyline. This lone officer, who is not only incompetent but also blatantly corrupt, seems to handle every case with zero accountability. There’s no backup, no detectives, no superior officers, and absolutely no follow-up on the numerous cases he fumbles or covers up. It's unrealistic and lazy writing, as it reduces the entire justice system to a cartoonish caricature and severely limits the drama’s credibility. A show that claims to dive into criminal elements and social issues should at least attempt to portray a functional law enforcement system, or if not, make its brokenness a clear narrative choice—not just a result of poor plotting.
In short, Heo's Diner is a fun and heartfelt watch mainly because of its brilliant ML and compelling villain. But the FL’s character seriously drags down the otherwise well-written narrative. She’s not just naive—she’s frustratingly dense.
Rating: 7.5/10 – Could have been great if only the FL had a bit of common sense.

Best acting by Kim Go-eun and Jeon Do-yeon. Their performances carried the entire drama.But the ending was disappointing because there was no punishment for the real creator of all the crimes. The prosecutor got away with destroying an innocent widow’s life. He ordered people around and everyone blindly followed him. Life was unrealistically easy for that idiot prosecutor — even his boss followed his commands — and after failing so miserably, he faced zero consequences. They talked about resignation, but no one actually resigned; they only pretended.
I give this drama 9/10, but I deduct points for the poor character writing of the prosecutor and the fact that he faced no consequences for his actions. He let that old bastard run free — hit a cop, stab an inmate, kidnap a child — while he stayed obsessed with catching an innocent woman and framing her as a criminal. I always suspected him as the main culprit because his behavior fit the role more than anyone else.
And in reality, corruption isn’t only about taking bribes. There is also corruption through abuse of power, framing innocent people, manipulating evidence, and ignoring proper investigation. What this prosecutor did fits terms like malicious prosecution, abuse of authority, wrongful prosecution, and prosecutorial misconduct. He acted like an incompetent, negligent, and bias-driven prosecutor who showed tunnel vision, confirmation bias, and willful ignorance. Even after being exposed, he tried to defend himself and continued targeting the innocent woman until the end.
This lack of consequences for him is the biggest flaw of the drama.
