In every episode except her "disappearance" one she was this witty, more-mature-than-an-adult child genius, but when her mom couldn't pick her up from school she had a meltdown and went into hiding. < this is how kids are. They can seem mature and reasonable, and then something for them highly emotional happens that sets them off. Literally how kids act in real life.

My points stays. There were people saying the kid should go missing and die for causing trouble to Seo Joon. If you are not one of the viewers like that, then the comments were not about you and should not concern you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sadly, I can't even say you should give it a try. First maybe 3 episodes were fun, but after that it was just painful to watch 😅

So make that reply to them.
Here it did not happen. Don't project your experience.

Especially since the OP did not even say they dropped the show. They just said they are disappointed so far. So no, it's not necessary.

No one is forcing anyone. The only thing people said is suggest to watch a little bit more, since the comedy tones down later, and that's the only thing the OP pointed out as to why they are disappointed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The "PS" in your comment is amazingly unnecessary.

The good doctor was actually a remake of the Korean drama Good Doctor :)

Prequel is not the same as part 2. They said "part 2" so it's natural no one would assume they made a prequel. Part 2 implies the continuation of the story, not the origin of what we already seen.

The hate the female characters in this got was ridiculous. Even the little girl. Like damn, she is just a child and people are angry because she is causing some issues... like children do?

For me, this season was really good in terms of the story, and even tho the execution could have been slightly improved, i love that we saw the characters in context outside of their relationship.

this was surprisingly good!
They used the tropes in the best way possible.

Oh i know there is a lot of "scam" in psychology. I was lucky enough to have some good professors in my universit.

To be honestly, I specialized in clinical and neuropsychology, and most of the focus was put on the neurological disorders, so it's a bit different branch then affective and personality disorders (sure, technically they all connect coz brain, but with strictly neuro-issues, you can point the cause in more specific way and the symptoms are far less... wishy washy, same with diagnosis)

No he's not the biggest trash but people are well within their right to find his behaivor problematic and questionable . - never said they can't tho. I'm talking about specific part of the viewers who describe him as pure evil trash and abuser.

It's okay. Just that one part rubbed the wrong way, coz saying you can just magically grew out of the mental issues made it seem like they can just disappear on their own and are just part of certain developmental period. The older you mostly better equipment you are to deal with it hence it affects your life less, but i would not equate it with growing out of them.

I have a degree in psychology too. And actually my sister was diagnosed with bpd, just got back from 3 months of hospitalization. The symptoms change but i would never say it gets better. She now just deal with different issues than when she was a teen. And she still sees psychiatrist ever month and has therapy sessions.

Not to mention you did not say the symptoms become less severe, you said you grow out of your mental issues, that's a different statement that has a different meaning.

I stand by what I said. One instance of shitty and harmful behavior does not make him abuser. He clearly still loves Seo Joon and his feelings hot the best out of him hence the kiss and sleeping together happened. Not all lies are abuse. That's exactly my point. People act as if Ji woo is the biggest trash because he was a dick once or twice, and emotionally not responding most of the times. this is not abuse, when they are NOT in the relationship currently, and he himself never seeked Seo Joon in the first place.

I'm not saying Ji Woo is an angle and shit shitty behavior should be excused and everyone should sympathize with him, but people make him into a psychotic monster which is ridiculous.

grow out their mental problems < this is really dangerous and unhealthy way of seeing it. If you truly have mental issue, you cannot just grow out of them. That's the whole deal - for him it's not some teenage angst most people deal with when they are younger.

I would advice you to read a little bit on depression and low self esteem issue (in more clinical levels, not someone just not being a complete confident king lol), because the lack of motivation to change fits perfectly into te picture, it's literally part of the "problem" and why it's extremely hard to deal with issues like that.

From psychological perfective, his actions make perfect sense when compared with the real behavior of people who deal with similar issues.

That's because the issues did not come from him being introverted, but him having major insecurities, completely separate from him being introverted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love when someone has no reply so they just don't give any proper one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, but it's a fact Lhong organized gang rape on a minor, and then face zero consequences, and was even emotionally supported by some side characters in that special episode. Mame literally has rape fetish going on for gat characters, as majority of her novels has rape in them. It's not just one or two stories, it's literally most of her stories.

To be honest I never thought it will be fluff and sugar in the first place. The issues they have come from the personalities and issues they already presented in season 1. They were never that big of an issue in season 1, because they were not couple in season 1. Some shit hits only after you start living together etc.

What I'm saying - I don't think the problems they are facing right now came out of nowhere. And to be honest, it's not like the promoted season 2 as a fluff cute thing either. So jumping to any conclusion - be it angsty or cute, would be on the viewers not on the writers.

No, it's not stretch. Whatever he was thinking in his mind does not matter, how he acted does. You cannot abuse someone by thinking things. It needs to be either verbalized or acted upon. Exactly like wanting to hit someone and hitting someone are completely different things - one is emotional reaction one cannot control, the other is behavioral expression of said emotions that can be controlled.

I'm not saying what Ji Woo did was fine, I'm saying calling him trash, abuser etc is a ridiculous and not fitting the actions he made.

"Imagine your boyfriend leaves you with just a note, and later on he treats you like shit despite you always putting in the best effort." He would not be treated as anything if he did not put himself in the position to be treated as such. That's my point - it was not Ji Woo who looked for Seo Joon to hurt him over and over again, it was Seo Joon who kept being clingy after each and every rejection. So saying Ji Woo is an abuser, because he keeps being mean to Seo Joon, because Seo Joon does not want to give up and keeps coming back is ridiculous. It does not even fit the typical cycle of abuse with honeymoon time and Ji Woo trying to keep Seo Joon close to him just to hurt him more later. He kept rejecting Seo Joon. His emotions got the best of him once that led to that kiss and them sleeping together, but it was one event.

Just get your sh*it together! They should have changed the mood after the kiss in Ep 4 < yeah coz kisses and love can cure mental struggles... oh if life was this easy 🙃

Wanting to be looked for and looking for someone are completely different things. He did not actively seek Seo Joon so whenever Seo Joon went back to him or not was 100% Seo Joon's choice and not a result of Ji Woo's actions. Also, Ji Woo is Italian chef, been one before he even meet Seo Joon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I honestly don't think what he said was abuse. Not everything shitty someone says can be put on the same box as abuse. Not every hurtful interaction is an abuse. People drop abuse and abuser so fucking easily nowadays the words has little to no meaning.

Dude, they gave a pity party special episode for the dude who organized gang rape on a minor 🙃

While there is no rape between main couple, the lack of consent and the "forcing yourself until the other person gives up" ideas are in it.
