John Smith

I cannot help getting you wrong because you are wrong. The FL did not become childish. She empathized rather openly because she had been drinking. I do think the term falling for someone is a bit strong for this particular situation, but do think they have chemistry. Who knows how far they will take it, or how far the drama will let them take it, but I would not mind romance as long as it did not detract from the comedy, legal cases, and mystery surrounding Cheon Ji Hun. It can be done, but will it?

I think it stems from out ideas and perceptions about genders in general. For example, dramas often have young men maturing through action into becoming men while there is often no such development for young women. Even older women try to act young or at least be perceived as looking younger. So in a case with an older man and younger woman, people might think the older man has always tried to be more mature, while the younger woman will always try to maintain that youth. Older maturing guy with a forever young woman might not be as bankable as an older woman with a younger man. Just my thought.

Literally.

Of course she had more screen presence. She challenged the ML, had a romance, died unfairly and shrouded in mystery. I thought Seo Min Hyeok provided some comedy relief.
I do think the issue of roles is not important. For a drama currently airing that is willing to make changes, sometimes the story does not go as it was planned.

It is an eight year gap. An age gap? Yes. An AGE GAP? Not really. I can be just as prejudiced as everyone else, but I prefer to judge each situation on its own merits, then offer thoughts in fairer manner.

Keep in mind that I am not a time traveler, but if I were and saw humanity was not ready for this drama, I would go back and stop the filming, but trailers have aired, so it was filmed. So if someone did come from the future, they decided that humanity was on the cusp of being able to comprehend the next level drama that is She and Her Perfect Husband. But that is all flimsy conjecture.

Could it be My Fated Boy? That is more recent than I Need Romance 3.

There is some Ahn Dan Tae from Beautiful Gong Shim too with the zaniness in lawyer Ji Hun.

Perhaps someone from the future was sent (sorry) to stop the airing of the drama because humanity was not advanced enough yet to deal with She and Her Perfect Husband. I suppose we might be someday soon since they could have just went far enough to stop it from being filmed, but it finished and we even got trailers and BTS.

Especially if one of them (depending on your preference) is either Gina Jin or Wang An Yu.

I just view it as the cost of watching a drama with no commercial breaks.

Why does it matter if I am a male or female when it comes to noticing stereotypes and generalizations?
Everyone probably has unreal expectations when it comes to what they want from relationships, especially if you base them on unreal characters or produced celebrities (you only see what they want you to see, not who they really are).
Why would the reality necessarily be that someone could not be as beautiful or talented as a member of BLACKPINK or deserve to be in a relationship with a member of BTS? I never said that "gold diggers" were right. I just said that making a choice based on wealth seems like a wiser investment in the future than making a choice based on looks (since looks fade). No one is just one thing. Someone can be rich and beautiful (male or female) and be a horrible person that no one might want to be around.
I am not a pseudo feminist. I am not even sure where you get that from as I make it pretty clear that unreal expectations are pretty much universal.
I think if you spend your time making comparisons between yourself and other people, you are just wasting your time. The only person you should compare yourself to is the person you were yesterday.

I think his character shines as much as anyone else. He is more of a supporting role to me more than a main character. And the writing tends to give everyone their moments to shine. It is the One Thousand Won trio who are the stars of the drama. If there is a second season, and if they decide to turn up the volume on any romance, then I could see him playing more of a main role.

It has been awhile since I saw the drama, but I think it is KAHI Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm.

They have made his character silly from the start. He has that likeable yet annoying, intelligent yet naive, sibling-type comedic relief vibe working overtime.

I think you can have mixed feelings about the pace, and the shortening of the length, but this combination of script and cast delivers. It would be a shame if there were not plans for another season. One thing is for sure, the more Baek Ma Ri, the better.

Thanks for taking the time to read my comment, and take my thoughts under consideration.

I think that is an unfair generalization on the part of females. I think you mostly have a guy's expectations right, two out of your three is based on looks. You did not even mention how talented BLACKPINK or drama actresses are.
Gold digger seems like a negative way to express that some women look for financial security before anything else. That long term investment seems wiser than basing your expectations on looks which fade over time.

Again, this is an Asian drama lovers site, so you can probably expect any thoughts to be related to dramas. It seems to be a place for fans to express their fandom.

I will go out on a limb here and say that you should not take what users type anonymously as truth. Especially on a drama/entertainment site where people are enjoying a visual medium, so of course what the eyes see matters most.
I would hope everyone feels they are beautiful.

I am a cynic too, which is why I believe it was done for the possibility of a second season, and not for a rapid and high quality development of the story. There are not too many other options that are in the best interest of the drama that would explain shortening the number of episodes. Especially given it is one of the top dramas airing by almost any standard you want to use. I wonder what Koreans think of the news.
I agree that Korean dramas with more than one season are the exception rather than the rule, and that is part of the charm of Korean dramas. I would suspect that even among dramas with multiple seasons, most would be planned for in advance. It would be interesting to know how dramas that had unplanned second seasons fared. I do think that this drama lends itself to being more than one season since they solve cases and the story of Cheon Ji Hyun can be as simple or complicated as they want to make it.
