I know. I just want her to know the truth, how at the end the mother took the money, how he did not live a good and comfortable life with it and how he is is just as much of pain as she is, just for different reasons. Tho they are showing she sees it, but she does not know fully why. (coz it's not just the ex. His mother was one of the reasons for his state too).

Honestly they both should learn from each other because they are both on the unhealthy extremes. She says everything, he says nothing.

I need her to team up with Dong Jin to save the company. She is smart, she can fuck others up bad. But it's too early for her to help him like that 😭

random reactions to episode 7, don't take it too seriously, don't be pressed 👍🏻

Wen be like: I cleaned up my mess.
Me: well, the mess kind of cleaned itself up. At the end of the day it was Alan that walked away, not you 🤣 You were ready to take care of him at home for next 4 weeks 😅

Jim be like: I'm at this age
Me be like: NO YOU'RE NOT! 🤣
You see, this is why this age things bothers me so much, coz they keep bringing it up and I need to force myself to think it makes sense with this casting 🤡

Now we know why Jim was like "you poor, now you gay too?" - it's not about the good intention or homophobia or any other theory people had, dude is just a bit uneducated in that matter when he goes: maybe if he didn't live with me he would not be gay. Also this is clearly a scene that would show generation gap and how people view being gay depending on their age and time they themselves grew up... but yet again because Earth looks like hot 28, i don't feel it 🥲

Wen won me with this one line I am in tears hahaha
"We might have to wait until these conservative dinosaurs die" 🤣🤣

And then there is Jim saying: Why didn't you tell me.
And I went: It was not his place to tell.
And Wen goes: It's not my story to tell.

I honestly adore Wen in context of anything related to Li Ming. I just don't vibe with any of his romances...

ALAN NO! THIS IS NOT THE TIME! FUNERAL IS NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL STUFF AND BANK ACCOUNTS 🤡 Shouldn't he either contact him before or after the funeral about the insurance? Showing up during the funeral is a bit 😅

Random thought, but imagine Earth and First in a drama together as the pairing. That would be interesting.

Not Li Ming being the most mature character out of them all 🤡

I enjoy everything about this except for main couple... oops.

I don't think they will. At "best" it will be hinted that maybe in the future it can lead to something, but I highly doubt they will actually become couple at the end.

You want to see a broken man, ruined physically and emotionally < no i don't. I just want him to look his age, the age other characters also assumed he is. Unless when Wen asked if Li Ming is his son, he thought he had him when he was like 12 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ That's my whole point - the characters are telling me with their reactions and lines he looks his age, but Earth does not look it. To put it into a context, actor who plays Heart's dad is 45. So Earth's characters is closer in age to this actor than to any other cast member. Literally no one would ever think that.

Men can look better in their 40s compared to their 20s true, they will still look more or less their age, just better in how they present themselves. It's not like they look younger in their 40 than in their 20.

The most important thing is - Jim is not supposed to look good for his age, he is supposed to look his age. Enough for Wen to even consider Li Ming can be his son. If you saw Fourth and Earth standing next to each other on the street, it would NEVER crossed your mind Earth might be his dad. With how they present themselves, the realistic assumption would be his older brother. Earth is supposed to be 20 years older than Fourth here - this just does not add up.

He is stressed out. He said it it's hard to meet ends each month. He has to take care of Li Ming, and just having a teenager under your care is enough stress to make one exhausted. Now his restaurant might go down coz he has issues keeping the place. His co-worker and friend will soon have a kid when they are not financially prepared, and it also stresses him out. He is gray too, characters said it themselves, that he dyes his hair. What characters say indicates he looks his age, but Earth does not look 40. For me it's that simple. the ideas that men can look younger than their age, better in their 40s is true, but it does not work in the context of the show.

Original poster of the comment, that what i meant hahah

One thing I loved about the show were the normal teenage chats leads had with each other when they had doubts or fears. Seeing them verbalize them and suport each other was just a great experience as a viewer.

It's fine. I get triggered on this website more often tha not 🤣

Usually when I see a comment like OP did, I check someone's completed list to see how "valid" their opinion is. If someone claims a rating is not objective enough, how objective they are in their ratings? Or when someone points out toxic things in a show, how did they rate other shows with similar themes? Then I know if it's even worth getting into discussion about differences or I should just shorty point out how they are not objective themselves and move on 🤣

What a great and detailed review 😭

He is doing as well as he can, he is a good actor. It's not about his performance, but about the fact being good looking young hot actor, he does not visually fit the 40 years old exhausted man who is starting his middle age period of life. It's a bit like casting great actress that has extremely feminine facial features for a cross dressing role - she might do amazing job acting, but it's still not a good casting, because she simply could never ever pass as a guy - so it makes the whole story less believable.

I totally agree that there is literally no issue with series including cliché and typical tropes - it's all about execution. Most shows just does not know how to make them seem fun and interesting, but MSP truly aced them.

Great review! Perfectly showcases all the positive aspects of MSP 😊

Honestly, this show does deserves a medal for making everyone enjoy product placements hahaha

Here's the thing, if you check OP's completed list, they also have some painfully biased ratings. 2gether being rated 1? Sure it was not a great show, cash grab with pretty faces ending on a hi5, but 1 means there was literally nothing good about it. So it's ridiculous for them to complain about 3.5 and how it's "trolling", when they themselves are 100% biased in their own ratings.

It's 100% fine to disagree with a rating someone gave and discuss it under their review , but to act as if it was not objective enough, when the person themselves does not even try to be objective in their own ratings is just a joke.

His eyes were so expressive, he can make me feel things without talking. < this! Honestly, i was so impressed with Fourth's performance exactly because his eyes were so expressive!

Gun's mom had similar approach, but it would be close to impossible to make her influence Tinn's mom like the dad did. Dad was pure plot device to help Tinn's mom reconsider some things and guide her a bit through the process, and because of that I think he was necessary, even if he was just a male version of Gun's mom hahaha

Like, you could see she is trying, but she has no idea how to approach it and ends up saying not quite the right words...
Also, the dad was great addition too. I wish he had more screentime.

"I was going to ask but I have never seen him look this terrified" < I rewatched this scene like 3 times it was SO WELL DONE. Overall, her character was amazingly written.
