STAR is not born, but MADE by connections, NEPOTISM
Cutting lead character from Original Web toonBu-yong is cut from drama adoption
Her character was cut just to suppress LGBTQ represtation
Devloped nation with undeveloped society.
FL is ungrateful
Ill mannered
Arrogant because she can seduce another crossdressing Woman
and FL is shameless for denying she doesnt come because of connection when she knows she has become a sugar baby
FL is Sugar baby of Moon Ok Gyeong
everything those people say about her is true but then she is FL so
people who question Nepotism are evil idiots
people who question promoting someone by Connection then talent are evil people in this garbage show
i don't see any skill in FL in acting like person who can sing can act to ?
Just like all OLD idols forcing themselves to become actors 🙏🙏
she got in the troupe by her connection through Moon Ok Gyeong but shamelessly denies it
FL is person with NO Morals or respect for others
And is encouraged by her rich sugar Mama
doesn't have any respect toward her seniors or teacher
but she will get private teaching from Moon Ok Gyeong.

Story about an Immoral demon couple that should be Burn Alive Publicly
FL's father literally is incarnation of Satan himself,Old King Should have killed him when he stole his woman for good,
and he should have kept that woman has his slave or concubine, never promote her to level of a Queen
and i can't say his daughter is not evil herself, she got to know about how much two brother love and trust each other but she knowingly put some pressure on there relationship,
she fall in love with older brother in just few days, but she never once try to know younger one who was so straightforward and honest but she fall for one that doesn't even told her his real name... that just give a go head to all guys to device and seduce a girl with lies and dishonesty once she fall you can know take advantage of those feelings
then she walk together with younger one about to get married to him, she was going to marry him and almost got married but now she think older brother is better again
She daughter of a traitor most evil heartless animal, know she can never become wife of any of crown prince, but she still want to make two brothers fight for her, she is as evil as her father, her father justification for all evil thing he has done is LOVE
same as her, love doesn't justify evil crimes, a criminal is a criminal it doesn't save you if your in love,
FL should have cut ties with both Princes clearly because she is smart enough to know she cant marry any of two, but she can make them enemies if she continue living her life there
she is trying her best to make both brothers enemies and kill each other so she and her Evil father can rule together with that Old WITCH
i don't get how she did not try to kill her father when she is good at fighting, even after knowing that evil man killed her mother that just,
and that old hag pretending to be caring old witch, should get a walk of shame( game of thrones) just like cerci,
i find the adulteress couple do not have any capacity to feel anything near to love, you need to have heart, feelings empathy to feel love
selfish desire to have something, which is worthless is just a obsession not love, they are obsessed with fulfilling there long lost love,
they could have run away a long time ago if they only wanted each other,
trying to kill her own son and grandson is beyond my understanding how can she call herself human after that,
SML is angry boy but he is most honest person in this whole show,
he trust his older brother way more then he should,
SML did not wanted to take his brothers position at all, but his brother did not even think before taking the woman his younger brother was about to get married, old brother never once ask him how he feel about her because he is only focus on himself,
while SML always cared for his older brother, and Queen Mother love her step son more then her own son because she has Step mother complex in which she want to become best step mother,
FL never once told ML that SML has feelings for and he has confess those, she just playing with both to get the one survive while she prefer older one just because she was forced married to him. and then in few days she fall in love ?
the way ML is totally ignorant toward his younger brothers feeling shows he doesn't care for him genuinely but its just show
deep inside his heart he is step bother and he hasn't forgotten it.
ALL i want is ML head chopped off by his own brother at end for pretending to be DICK

Positively Yours’: When Irresponsibility Is Framed as Romance”
A woman is forced to carry the responsibility of pregnancy simply because she had a one-night stand, while the man who refused to use protection can walk away. Even if he later “takes responsibility,” he will never go through pregnancy, labor pain, or childbirth. That burden is forced on the woman by nature alone.And what if she’s married? What if she doesn’t want to be involved with him, doesn’t want to marry him, or doesn’t want to be a mother at all? Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy—something even married couples decide together.
Not using protection isn’t a tragic flaw or romantic complexity; it’s basic irresponsibility and a lack of respect. It strips a woman of choice and forces life-altering consequences onto her without consent.
When a show presents this casually, people are completely justified in criticizing it—even after just one episode.
The show treats stalking as if it’s romantic concern. Finding her address without consent, watching her from a distance, intruding into her personal life, and interrogating her choices are framed as “caring.” This is not concern—it’s surveillance. If this were happening in real life, it would be frightening, not flattering.
What’s even more disturbing is how the narrative openly pressures her to carry and deliver his baby. She is not asked what she wants. She is not given space to decide. Instead, she is pushed, cornered, and emotionally coerced—then told to “at least try” dating him. Not because she desires it, not because she consented, but because he decided this is how things should go.
This is not courtship. He is not requesting the chance to get to know her. He is imposing rules—meeting three times a week, maintaining contact, staying involved—despite her clear discomfort. That is control, not romance.
The woman is reduced to a function: a womb with obligations. Her autonomy, freedom, and right to refuse are treated as inconveniences that the story expects her to “grow out of.” This framing dehumanizes her, turning her into a baby-making machine whose life must now revolve around a man’s mistake and entitlement.
Calling this “love” or “responsibility” is dishonest. It is forced intimacy dressed up as destiny.
When dramas normalize this behavior, they are not exploring moral complexity—they are promoting a deeply regressive idea: that a woman’s body and future can be claimed once sex occurs, regardless of her will. That is not romantic. That is coercive. And yes, it is barbaric.
So no, viewers don’t need to “watch more episodes” to criticize this. When a show casually excuses stalking, erases consent, and glorifies the stripping of a woman’s freedom, one episode is more than enough to recognize the problem.
He is the president of the company she works for. He holds institutional authority over her career, her future, and her daily professional life. She was selected to study in Germany—something she genuinely wanted, something that represents independence, growth, and a future beyond him. That context matters.
So when he says things like, “It’s your choice whether you keep the baby or not,” those words are meaningless. Consent cannot exist under intimidation. A choice made while someone controls your job, your visa prospects, and your professional future is not a real choice—it’s pressure disguised as politeness.
His actions repeatedly contradict his words. While claiming to respect her decision, he continuously pushes, manipulates, and corners her into keeping the pregnancy. While acknowledging her refusal to marry him, he still forces the idea of marriage onto her, treating her clear NO as something temporary, negotiable, or irrelevant.
This is textbook coercion.
Emotional coercion.
Economic coercion.
Professional coercion.
The show normalizes a deeply disturbing dynamic where a powerful man uses his position to override a woman’s autonomy, then masks it with soft dialogue so the audience is expected to see him as “responsible” or “misunderstood.” He is neither.
Saying “it’s your choice” while actively sabotaging her ability to choose is manipulation, not respect. Ignoring her refusal and continuing to push marriage and forced intimacy is not persistence—it’s entitlement.
When a drama frames this as romance instead of abuse, it isn’t just bad writing. It’s dangerous storytelling. It teaches that women’s boundaries don’t matter if a man is powerful, persistent, or emotionally invested enough.
And that is exactly why criticism after just one—or two—episodes is not premature. The message is already loud and clear.

As a fan of the original Korean drama Suspicious Partner, I had high hopes for the Japanese remake Ayashii Partner. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a frustrating and joyless experience from start...The biggest problem is the complete lack of emotion or engagement. It’s as if every spark, nuance, and emotional depth from the Korean version was deliberately filtered out. What was once a rich, layered romance and legal thriller became a hollow shell — a lifeless re-enactment rather than a meaningful adaptation.
In condensing a 20-hour drama into just 10 episodes of around 24 minutes each, the show lost all the character development, emotional buildup, and narrative tension that made the original so compelling. The fast pacing doesn’t feel efficient — it feels rushed, careless, and empty. Scenes jump from one plot point to another without giving the audience a chance to breathe or connect.
The acting, too, is painfully dull. Both the male and female leads deliver performances that feel more like a rehearsal than an actual production. There’s no chemistry, no conviction — it’s as if they were reluctantly dragged into the drama and paid in leftover lunch boxes. If they’re not interested in their characters, how can the audience be?
It’s baffling why this adaptation was made at all. Rather than bringing a fresh perspective or cultural reinterpretation, it feels more like a checkbox project — something done for the sake of having a Japanese version, not because there was any genuine creative vision behind it.
To sum up: Ayashii Partner is an emotionally vacant, rushed adaptation that fails to capture even a fraction of what made the original beloved. If boredom were a category at the Nobel Prize, this drama might just win.

I like it until i have watched it
i like this drama and given 9.5i must admit i don't feel any boredom during this 18 hours
Nice acting i believe everything about all those actors
but here i will only point out what i find odd or disliked
1. FL why she dying to help ML ? why she crying like that when she don't even know him properly
2. what kind of mother forgive her daughter killer like that ? Ji Soo mother is total fictional character here...
i know ML is innocent but how his mother in law trust him this much blindly when her own daughter has died, she is telling her son to forgive which mean she doesn't believe in ML innocence but still want to forgive her daughters killer
how she is showing so much mercy for son in law , while being totally ignorant and insensitive toward her daughter and granddaughter ?
i hated that evil granny for her inhuman act, ha ji mala tea soo yaaaa........just die haimoniya,, old granny dream about her son in law not her daughter, what evil bitch
ep7 ending scene he cant say Tae soo to follow that syngkuu and find ha yeon , then acting like a lunatic
ep 8 started with ML started acting like a Crazy Shamin( i like his AAAAA AAAAA )
at ending ep there is a runaway criminal at a prosecutor's house and police has just stop searching for him since one has proven himself innocent there is no need to find other

that Fake Prist Ruin this drama for me
Main couple even without solid story line 5/10ML is annoying and the fact that any other human being like him in a romantic way is a question to there mental health
how can you like him if your sane ?
LEE MIN KI knows nothing about acting all he can do is act robotic or annoying that make him most foolish actor in between all those talented actor he work with, he is slim and that made him look tall but he look unhealthy
SML -10/10 for being a fake priest,
how a person who cant even right names become legal council ? ML dont have budget to hire a educated lawyer so he hire a school dropout as lawyer with fake degree of SNU.
as most of people in k drama got there degrees from FAKE SNU
Pretending to be fake priest and seducing a girl, at end he pretend like he was not doing anything wrong was WRONG itself
he was working a regular job, then he start acting like a priest by wearing cheap black clock of invisibility while he was seducing that girl, pretending he is not, if he had no feelings then how come at end he just develop feeling ?
and if he had feelings for her from start or grow feeling during the time, he should not have pretended to become a priest fake drama,
it was disgusting to think married womans go to church and there husband think its safe to meet priest but end up finding out priest was screwing your wife in church, You cant even trust churches now,
all priest still have dicks,
main couple was one i watched for second time and skipped other couple
i like SFL but her pairing with a fake low life priest was disgusting.

1/10 overall everything was good but only this much.
Our ml is at peak of stupidity, and deserve Oscar of IdiotsDude try to kill death , was hopeful that death would die
Why this man think death is a woman he can look down on ?
Our ml learn nothing in all those ep so why did you create all those just one last ep was all it takes.
In this whole drama what was amazing was ML will always insult FL even if she is Celestial being, and at end she will give him One life as reward for disrespecting her, as we know Korean woman love getting trample on. No matter what.
Most important thing ep1 showed was true reality of South korean Law system which is nothing more then a prostitute for Cheabols
Death is keep eye on ML but she did not see him setup camera and all those recording setup because they don't show viewers but as we know death only see what veiwers see...
Death is omnipresent being not a woman director did you forgot that ?
2 ep and our ML now can become Cop as he please become, now death is under his control ,,,
how death who was punishing him start favoring him, give him life of what he needed most at time
At end we even death fall in love with and they togeth killed Greatest Evil park Tea U, (she give him cop life) and protected her new lover DOOM
DOOMxDEATH best couple.

Fake good guy who only follow where is cock take him ?
if FL wasn't a beautiful girl then he would have beaten her but since she is pretty he want to screw her and playing fake good
and we are supposed to think he is hot and attractive but he look cheap makeup guy
No storyline after fake bully join there group,, he pretend to save the boy who FL saved so he can suddenly become a good guy
FL was so IDIOT she try to maintain her distance from first boy but then when bully come she be like friendship on 99% discount
i can understand first boy not the second one
second boy from the start approached them with motive of screwing FL second ML isn't a good guy if he got rejected by FL then he will turn into a bully again
everything he do is for his COCK
there is no genuine friendship from his side while the first boy genuinely become her friend after she saved him
love developed from admiration and liking is way more respectful then a love devolved based on sole lust
this move try to give wrong meaning of friendship and love

there is 26 year old man who look more like 30+ man pretending to be a school kid
34+ shin hye sun look so younger then this Ajusshi looking school bully
Bully look like 34 while shin hye sun look like mid 20s
I can understand that you casted a big name like Shin hye sun so you don't have money for big ML actor
but could have casted a guy that look younger then his Age to fit in a student role
SHIN HYE SUN did amazing here 20/10 for her Acting

there one problem jus One for me
Everything was good fine, more the fine it was goodbut why did our Female lead shows Sympathy toward cheater wife that she become her secret keeper
she did not tell kim soo jin that his wife is cheating on him so he won't be hurt, but everything that happen in this show was result of her cheating
she kidnaped her own child for that very reason
even after knowing everything our Lead hero isn't that angry on his wife but even try to save the man that was screwing his wife and was plan to ruin him
ML is so perfect that he become emotionless machine at the end of it.

Half of is re-watch able
Drama was watchable until FL's secret got exposed to her husbandML was a illigimate bastard who think his step mother should love him,
was entitled
grandmother got forgiven at last for being a old thief, that Old bitch should be kicked out from not only there house but from whole korea
ML was Most Idiot Man in whole show that was big reason his own wife never trusted him.
Most annoying character was Crazy Uncle, the way he talk about his thief mother and how he behaves with his sister in law was so irritating
he was so disrespectful towards his sister in law
everything wrong was created by that old bitch for money and she was forgiven so easily
FL was doing everything for her dead sister but that Old bitch stole someone child for Money there was no real feelings inside that old slut
Idiot ML sided with a old thief who dtole him from his mother for money,
how he was able to forgive her has he had no self esteem at all
at first i ignore his attitude but at second watch it all irritating
how he treated his stepmother and how that old Bitch garanny treated everyone while she was one wrong in all that
that old bitch until the end never apologize for her wrong attitude towards her daughter in law
and that Crazy uncle should have burn alive for what a jerk he was in whole show
such a ass licker for his moma...
and ML was same little baby for his granny still sucking milk from that old hags nipples
