When in tarnation will it air?!

Guys, I want to ask something about this drama: does Ga Min hide his strength and let everyone walk all over him? I want to know because I’m repugnant to dramas/webtoons like that.

I hope she gets right as rain as soon as possible. ❤️

Your assumption that romantic relationships ought to take precedence over other relationships doesn’t sit right with me. Healthy relationships are based on mutual respect, understanding, and love for each other. Expecting one’s partner to centre their world around them and prioritise the romantic relationship above all other relationships and commitments is unfair and unrealistic, in my opinion, and it seems rather possessive to me.

Prejudices are rooted in societal stereotypes rather than genuine concern. If somebody shows ‘concern’ that’s not based on facts or actual experience, then it’s a prejudice cloaked in the semblance of concern. These kinds of ‘concerns’ hurt the most. She should know that if her friend felt unloved or not prioritised, she would leave the relationship herself. People with good intentions may repeat stereotypes because they believe them to be true or helpful. Prejudices can only be challenged when they are brought to the table and critically examined.

These dramas are helping to bring such prejudices to light, forcing the audience to question them rather than accept overgeneralised and oversimplified stereotypes at face value. This will surely contribute to the edification of society at large.

As for the propaganda, shouldn’t they be de-incentivising relationships with single parents if they want to boost the birth rate? Single parents already have a child, so they may only have one more, which could weaken the overall birth rate.

It’s nice engaging in dialectics with you; it has truly deepened my understanding. Thank you.

I enjoyed it more than I thought.
8/10 for me.

If her remarks are due to the aforementioned reason, then that’s fine. However, I believe—and I could be wrong—that they stem from her negative prejudice against single parents. When her husband was pushing the leads together, she explicitly stated that Ji-Yun was out of Eun-Ho’s league, thereby insinuating that he is somewhat lower in “class” than her.
By the way, I believe that one can have multiple ‘first priorities.’ The choice of words also plays a significant role in how we define someone’s first priority. For example, we might say that his child is his first priority, but changing the word to ‘family’ would make it more inclusive.
Sorry, just wanted to share my two cents on this. :)

How old are you asking about? Are you referring to 90s dramas or early 2000s?

Their job is to find a candidate for the role their commissioning company is asking for, whether the candidate is actively seeking the position or not, and to make them take the role.

Her problem is that he is a divorcee with a daughter, haha. But this just goes to show how deeply ingrained this prejudice against single parents is in Korean society. They introduced this prejudice through the FML’s friend, and now they’ll resolve it by showing how foolish it is, thereby educating the audience and making such relationships more acceptable and normal in society. This is my subjective take on the scenario.

I highly doubt that there are as many as seven episodes’ worth of adult scenes. Anyways, as much as I know, it only has kiss scenes, not adult scenes.

The mathematical formula to find the cursed episode: either ceil(3/4 * total number of episodes - 1) or ceil(3/4 * total number of episodes).

Do you know if single mothers are disproportionately prejudiced against, or is it the same in Korean culture? After all, women face a disproportionate scrutiny and moral policing in patriarchal societies. I remember how big an issue the female lead’s single motherhood was for the male lead’s mother in When the Camellia Blooms. Do you know any other dramas where the male lead falls for a single mother?

Didn’t she say that Yi-Jun was out of Eun-Ho’s league when her husband was shipping them? You could expect this reaction after hearing those words of her.

Damn, man, you’re walking on a knife-edge. Best of luck with your mission! May you dodge all the beatings!

It’s so funny because I can imagine the situation as clear as crystal, haha. Anyhow, glad that you circumvented the beating.

They won’t. After all, they need to fight against the devil investor and the Career Way CEO, who are eyeing her company. They literally don’t have time for any break-up, haha.

…but I want the whole twelfth episode for the cute and fluffy scenes. Am I asking for too much? WTPR let me down earlier; I hope this one doesn’t. ._.)

She had said something along these lines in a previous episode, too, so I did expect this reaction from her. In my opinion, she regards him as a good fit for Ji-Yun’s secretary, but not as her partner. I’m not entirely sure how accurate this is, but the creators seem to be reflecting this anti-single-parent perspective through her, as a representation of Korean social sentiment towards such relationships.

I think they’ll have a row, but they won’t break up. They’ll sort things out with some alone time and proper communication. Her father leaving her behind left a huge scar on her, so an emotional response is expected. However, I believe she’ll soon realise that Eun-Ho can’t and shouldn’t be blamed for the incident, and she’ll also be able to forgive her father after seeing the positive consequence of his actions: Eun-Ho standing in front of her.

I sincerely hope they wrap up all the serious stuff in the penultimate episode and give us a fluff-filled final one.
