You fail to understand the backstory and personalities of the characters. Sam is a person who has spent her entire…
I think I do understand, and I think you're kind to the writer to accept this scene as believable and realistic. Anyway, this drama is generating a lot of discussion, and in some ways is pioneering.
Hm, I didn’t see it as Martha pressuring them to have sex, just encouraging them to. Both Sam and Mon wanted…
Thank you for your comment. The group of friends kept asking them if they had done it, clearly expressing their expectations. Looked like pressure to me. If getting drunk was due to product placement, that's disgraceful. I've seen products placed, but if that is actually a force on the scriptwriting, then dramas are going to deteriorate.
Pressuring someone to have sex, and then telling them to get drunk so as to achieve it, is appallingly bad advice, and it appears to represent attitudes of the writer/director, as the script doesn't critique it but rather presents it as how the couple "succeeded".
"And…we watched a documentary about animal mating…" Mon points to the copulating lions on the TV: "Well, I wanted to do that, you know." This must be the silliest, and most unbelievable, piece of scriptwriting I've ever seen.
This series feels like a whole lot of completely unrelated scenes, strung together with only the barest sense of consistency of character psychology and setting.
As of today 05/12/21, Viki still only have season 1.
I've just found and downloaded the english subtitles from avistaz for S1 and S2. If you give me your email in a private message I can send them to you. You might need to retime them if the files are different versions.
The usual running gags and hijinks we've learned to expect from Miyama, except now he has protege Honoka to reverently copy his every move and laugh hysterically at his puns. Squeezed in between is a dark story that builds to an anguished climax, representing the theme that "we don't know if the truth can make people happy, but lies can't save people".
Three no-hoper small-town blokes fritter away time, and then an over-eager city family move in from Tokyo. But by half-way through and nothing of note had occured, I wasn't enjoying the characters nor the story, and gave up.

My mistake, I must have been confused. I was aware of the anime, but also thought there was a live-action. Thank you for your comment. I'm going to delete my original comment now, since it's not relevant. You might like to delete yours too.
Beautiful subtitles by nuve, a rollicking road-trip tale of frustrated women seeking independence and empowerment. A sort of light-hearted version of one of my favorite Japanese movies, Kakekomi. For me it was spoiled by the obtrusive modern music soundtrack (just like the historical Spanish drama Cable Girls, and by many Japanese dramas). Surely something traditional, pseudo-traditional, or even just less-obtrusive modern music would have been a better choice?
A highly engaging drama, both for the lead character's utterly convincing role (fulfulling the teenage autistic girl who realised she could never become a lawyer, in the writer's previous movie Innocent Witness), and the complex and morally ambiguous legal situations. The biggest flaw IMHO was the love story, as charming as it was. If Lee Jun Ho was just a nice guy, he would have befriended Young Woo, but not fallen for her. It would have been more believable if we knew of something in his own background that made him attune to her emotional struggles, and want to make the effort to become closer with her
In ep3 there seems to be a pun on the name of the deceased father - Dong Won-Bin, but even though I know basic Korean, I don't get it. Can someone who is in the know, explain?
That legal situation in ep3 covered some complex issues, and the two sides were each using subtly flawed arguments. It would make a great class assignment, to carefully pull it apart. And then in the middle of this brilliant writing, we have that thoroughly worn-out cliche, the would-be lovers accidently falling on top of each other. I wondered if I had accidently switched movies. I guess that from the writer's point of view, having someone who's extremely discomfited by any kind of skinship, breathes new life into this old cliche. Thankfully Young-Wu doesn't have a meltdown. And BTW, Park Eun Bin is a versatile and skilled actor (I've only seen her also in Age of Youth, but she really showed her range there). We know the scriptwriter knows autism well since her previous work. IMHO the actress did her homework too, and not just by reading. She has captured so many autistic characteristics convincingly.
Often feels like it is scripted, directed, and acted by teenagers, but what it lacks in logic and consistency, it makes up with enthusiasm. It depicts a teenage character pretending to run a company, but rather than being the dutiful granddaughter she affects in some background scenes, to the dominating grandmother who cast out her older sisters (one because she is lesbian), and in the face of her own absolute rule of no in-house dating (and basic good sense and business ethics), she's preoccupied with pursuing the newbie on the team, although with a confusingly tsundere approach.
Said newbie, despite her hero-worship and presumed inexperience in love, is quite capable of seeing through her boss's curt manner, and confidently joins in the flirtation games as things ramp up. By episode 5 there are intensely erotic kisses, which are well ahead of anything seen on Korean and Japanese TV (between women, I mean), and of course leave China in limbo. It's going to be a challenge to wrap up this level of energy in five more episodes in any kind of satisfactory way, and it will probably take the combined skills of these two lovers to overcome the tyrannical grandmother, although not necessarily by force or defiance, but maybe the power of their love?
