It really is hard to watch this series and watch everyone pile on the DoRa/Ji Yeong so much. I assume as this is a longer form series the redemption will not be for a while which makes it so much harder to watch. I think at this point the only thing that would make sense is if FML and ML completely disown their families and have nothing to do with them.
I think they missed a beat when they allowed the actress to continue to play FML role when they keep using the whole her face was reconstructed after the accident and just give her glasses and change her hair. They really should have hired a different actress it would have made more sense.
Okay I get that some of this is to do with kjorean society and how things are diferrent from the west and some of it is attached to the stigma of being percieved a teacher dating a student but as someone previously said this started later in life when those positiuon did not exist between them also the ager gap I believe is rather small as he was studying to enter Univeristy and she taught him whil she was still in university or just finished. I got the impression in the flashbacks when they were teacher and student there may have been some underlying attraction at that point but they did not act on it until many years later.
That other tean leader is truly being petty scum because his one sided love has met someone else . She is right in saying it is his own fault for not acting on his feelings and confessing his feelings regardles if he got rejected or not. The fact that now he is spitting the dummy out of the pram and delebritley trying to ruin her because she did not recipricate his feelings is so shallow and petty.
Also that vice director and her underling cooking up letes say they have been dating since they were students what a pair of of absolute repribates.
Obviously will finish with happy ending so looking foward to all thses people getting their just desseerts.
Okay I am viewing this in the UK on Viki and for some reason was delayed a few weeks but still air it weekly so behind the cactual episodes actually aired.
Episode 4 just aired at this point I am not sure how to feel about this drama, feel sorry for FML, I appreciate the mother in law would natural;ly want to protecet her son but the fact that she suffered froma cheating hjusband you think she would have some sort of sympaythy for her daughter in law and shame for her son but she is completely on his side the fact that she knew he was cheating a year and a half ago and let it go ( I appreciate she thought she ended it).
Also the FML own brother is taking his brother in laws side and trying to help him get away with cheating on his sister.
I get there will be more to everything that is going on based on the glimpses of some comments I have seen, but she really needs to get away from that family and start a fresh and she would not have any iussues doing this as everyone that sees her comments on how pretty she is when she is recognised. i feel I may enjoy this more if this is what happened.
Okay I am 7 episodes into thsi series and I do not unerstand the female employee charcater that has a thing for the CEO.
It just seems strange and out of place that she is trying to get with the ML when he is married ( albeit the marriage is fake but she does not know this.). I feel this is not needed and a wasted story point. I feel this could be better explaining the family dynamics of the ML, they may be explored in later episodes but I really want to understand how his step mom became involved in the household in the first place and why she was out to kill ML mother although I suspect this simply out of jealousy and ambition.
dunno why i am getting irritated whenever 2ml's character comes to screen
100% agree I wish they would stop relying on love triangles for dramas, they really need to think of other obstacles and roadblocks for them to overcome and to make matters worse this is a love square as they are aiming for the famous female content creator character to have a thing for ML when not needed.
I agree and they might have been switched as kids with the prosecutor and that's where the name is swapped
The MDL description gives this fact away.
"It is a tale of redemption and new beginnings. Seo Ji Hwan, a former gangster, embarks on a journey to leave his troubled past behind. Travelling across Korea, he dismantles criminal organizations and offers a fresh start to ex-convicts. Along the way, he reconnects with Go Eun Ha, his childhood friend and now a beloved kids' content creator."
I am all on board for the FML and ML I just do not know if I can deal with the love square, can we not just get a series wher we have 2 people get together without the need for love triangles/squares. They can put other hurdles and roadblocks in the way that don't invole a 3rd or 4th party.
Movie followup is out now I believe in Japan and features Nagano Mei (You Shine In The Moonlight Night) and Takahashi Fumiya (Our Secret Diary) as the older FML and ML from the series
So judging by the preview it looks like them dating is going come out which is apparently scandelous as they work in the same academy as discussed in previous episodes. The other TL is going to confess his feelings to her due to this but in a way asking if he acted on them in the past would he have stood a chance (please let this end at this point and I will applaud this if they do as a love triangle is not needed in every Kdrama).
I also wonder who it is that stole her files and working for the assistant director. I think it is either Choi Ji Eun who seems to be a gossip and also leaks the fact they are dating and also a bit of an arse licker or it is the Korean teacher who has a crush on Jun Ho and found out about them dating not happy stole her files and outed them.
For the love of god I hope they kill of the grandmother she has to be the most annoying character on this show always trying to stir things up and on the same level as PDR Mother for her greed for money.
I realise this can be a common kdrama trope but has MDL just spoiled the fact that the ML and FML have a a childhood connection as it has not come up on first 2 episodes. Unless I missed it.
Have to say that getting Park Ji hun to play the younger version of Kang Mal Guwum was really good casting very easy to believe they could be the younger/older version of each other look very similar.
could there be a season 2 coming? i mean, about I-na.
It is extremly rare for Kdramas to get a second season I am guessing only if the ratings are good enough and if they do could be sevral years before it happens.
I am guessing the main reason we see older Ina is that as they used the time skip would have meant using another actress due to age difference and decided not to do this and just used a stand in where we do not see her face, so no point bringin in an actress for a role for a few seconds.
i really dont understanmd the vice president trying toi get rid of Hye Jin, I undersatnd their is a fear if she leaves and takes her students with her but if she is great they should be doing everything to keep her. is she afraid she might get replaced as vice president. I feel this plot line is not needed if this is a route they are going down with her working with the other acdemy to try and get rid of her I hope she ends up losing her position as vice president because of this
Seo Hye Jin is one of the kindest and most innocent people ever. She doesn't deserve any of this.When the test…
YIp watched the opening of latest episode and thought what a petty vindicatve rat of a man he is, a way back to the hole you crawled out of and do everyone a favour. Lets hope by the end of the show he tanks his career completely and ruins the academy he joins.
So we now know the other family memebr in the promo photo is their son,. Fantastic show superb soundtrack great ending. Would have been nice to see Ina reunite with her father but I guess it would have had to be a different actress because of the timeskip.
Also means that FML and ML would be closer to matching theirs ages since she aged 5 years he was pulled back from the school fire without aging.
