Leverage wise I only saw the Korean remake, which was... a decent drama, had quite a lot of fun watching. But then, they did not involve kids so 😅

I'm perfectly fine with violent shows, horror is my favorite genre 🤣 but I actually dropped Taxi Driver. Now that I think about it, it might be for the same reason I am not vibing with this show. Both show have rather exaggerated over the top characters. Taxi Driver had over the top characters, this has exaggerated stereotypes of characters (presentation of their struggles). the lack of realism in that aspect makes me disconnect from what I am watching, if the show overall tackles serious topics...

Personally - dropping. I only saw episode 1, but it did not really make me want to watch episode 2. Planty dramas in the sea to pick from that will grab my interest from the start.

That said, people are free to criticize and dislike or even hate characters. Be it after 1 episode, 5 episodes or 16 episodes. If people should not be judging the drama and the character so early, then the same goes for people liking and enjoying it - you should not be writing how great it is. It's either fine to judge the show both negatively and positively, or neither. Sorry guys, you cannot have a cookie and eat the cooking.

At some point there were more comment here complaining about others complaining, than the actually "hating FL" comments. The difference is - people who criticize and dislike FL are disliking a fictional characters. While these who criticize and "call out" people who dislike FL, criticize and dislike real life people. For a silly opinion on a silly drama with mediocre writing. Priorities guys, think about them.

yeah great assumption, literally did not watch either Taxi Driver or Cafe Minamdang 👍🏻 that kind of tells me this conversation is not productive. You are operating on your own theories of what will happen in the show (as you yourself said) and assume a lot on my end without me ever saying it. Could have asked for titles of the shows I have seen, instead of assuming what I must have watched.

Just because by the end she will love the child and protect her, does not mean her initial intentions were supposed to lead to extremely psychological damage. Just because she will not finish her plan, does not mean she did not already take actions to put it in motion. Intentions matter, both morally and legally.

And her actions have gone above and beyond just getting the daughter to like her, or the father. < no it did not. All she did was give her food and told the dad the teddy bear ain't good present for middle schooler. Perfectly in line with trying to get close to a kid so they can open the door for her to scam the whole family. Don't know how you treat kids, but she truly did barely anything here so far that would show any sincere emotions towards the kid.

My biggest point is - they did shitty job with introducing her as a character. So far she is not interesting gray character, she is just a dick. Maybe I did not have a chance to watch them, but so far I have not seen a con artists drama/movie where the ML targeted the kid just for money coz they are poor and want more. They usually make MLs either target assholes, or give a solid reason why a kid is involved beyond money.

At the end of the day, whenever someone sees her as evil or not is a matter od SUBJECTIVE opinion, not objective facts. Hence people have the right to call her evil if that's how they judge her. Since my "crossing the line" scenerio is when kids are being used and involved just for monetary reasons, for me she and her family are evil. And they writer need to give some really strong and executed character development for me to like her by the end.

What does this being common in tv have to do with people having the right to dislike FL? Also, common tropes can be executed with different level of quality. It's not comparing A to A.

She wants the girl to like her, to form a close bond to her and get to the dad through the kid, so then she can dry the family from all the money and leave. Which would at the end hurt the kid the most. She already lost one mother, and now FL is planning to make her lose another mother figure.

There is absolutely zero way to know what the FL's true intentions are at this point. < I am judging her intentions by what she herself said in episode 1 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The FL character isn't that TOO MUCH evil < it's subjective not objective. Personally anyone willing to hurt a child (which she is planning to do) for their own benefit makes them evil to the core ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

At times people hate FLs for no good reasons. Here they have perfectly valid reason. It's not the same.

Also, the same people who "protect" this fictional female character from hate are the ones who bash the good hearted "stereotypical" female leads. One cannot preach when they commit the same mistakes they are trying to fight against.

As for the comments with capslocks, maybe they exist somewhere DOWN this comment section, but as of now, majority of people are complaining about others complaining.

Or I can keep watching, since the whole drama has more things in it than just the female lead (like I want to see the progress in the family itself) while also keep complaining about that one aspect I dislike, aka female lead. It's not that deep 👍🏻

Literally scrolling down I saw like 2-3 comments actually complaining about FL, and a sea of people complaining about people complaining 🤡

People are allowed to dislike FL and write about it in comments. Instead of telling people to drop the drama, you can stop reading comment sections, if people disliking a fictional character bothers you this much.

I don't know how they will develop her story, but for the country with one of the most unrealistic beauty standard I'd would appreciate more tact in how they pick what they want to present, and a storyline centering around character being fat and wanting to get back to their skinny figure ain't it. If they at least actually went with bulimia, but they didn't. She is just the most stereotypical portrayal of binge eater.

They did terrible job setting up the story. Not that they did any better with all the other issues the family has 🙃It's just really stereotypical and weak presentation. Majority of people who suffer from he same issues the character do, do not present this way so.

also, the body suit is also just poorly done, so that's not helping.

I think her having trauma with fire was supposed to be the link for viewers to sympathize with her, but it ain't working that well tbh...

I like these dramas too, but I feel like there should be more variety in what's airing. We need some simple stories, so twisted stories, some character and some plot driven etc. But I feel like many dramas have really similar set up and progression to them lately... It was an issue in the past too, when most dramas were really simple without many twists and really simple characters. Now we went the other direction... When I want mix of both - some simple, some with twists 🤡

But then again we would not have gotten to see Xiao Yuans fanatics which would have been a shame as those where the cherry on top of this drama. < muhahahahaha facts! 🤣

I am sure they will give her a whole ass personality and morals transformation, but I guess this is not what I wanted from he show? I kind of miss the more simple characterizations. A lot of dramas need to have some kind of twists for all the characters and I'm a bit tired of it. That's why I've been rewatching older shows lately 😭

2024 and we still see fat suits in media 🤡

Girl did like 5 mouth to mouth, but only like 4 chest compressions, you ain't saving shit with that 🤣

I did not read the synopsis nor the characters' names in the cast, so I was quite surprised Bok Yi Na was Bok Gwi Joo's daughter 😅😅 If the characters are similar age the actors, dude had her at 18 🤣

Bok Gwi Joo drunk in the middle of the day, dark circles under his eyes, hair all messy, probably dirty coz he did not shower in god knows how long, not caring if he steps on a glass.
Do Da Hae: It's good to know you are doing okay.
Me: bitch how is this okay? 🤡

WAIT A MINUTE! She is not that good, she just drugged the old lady? Holy fuck 🤣
Okay so she is basically a sociopath lol Kind of disappointed, coz that's exactly the role I expected from Chun Woo Hee, wanted to see something different.

I'd be depressed with family like that too 🙃

Damn... she truly is a scammer. I kind of wanted it to be a typical good natured lady saving a broken family 😭 I wanted to see Woo Hee is a really feminine and more delicate role...

Why does it feel like the car accident wasn't an accident, but she did it on purpose?

Overall, I think they took a huge risk with making Da Hae such a vile person. Like... she is so bad, it's hard for me to even feel excited for her character development. I rather see her demise... So I;m wondering if they did not take it a bit too far with how they wrote her. Especially the last scene when she talks with her family...

It's not like their story is bad. It's just more typical so they don't hold my attention like the main couple does 😅

I need a well build angst, and if it's for 2nd couple, they usually don;t have enough time to truly make it happen 🥲

I just saw similar couples with all the unnecessary angst in so many other bls 🙂🤡

Jung Ki Sub is so annoying, but also so charming I get falling for him 🤣
He is truly dedicated, to even want to tattoo a mole on his face 🤡
AND LEGALLY CHANGING HIS NAME LOL
Ki Sub is nuts, a proper psychopath hahahahaha (I don't mean it, or do I? 🙃)

At the same time, I don't give a fuck about side couple omg. I kind of want to skip their scenes 😭

When you think the episode is going to end on jealousy scene, but they take a completely different direction 🤣

honestly, i could not care less if I was eaten up in comment section 🤣🤣
I'd just laugh about it
