This is the fourth or fifth article about the drama. The previous ones talked about how she's a nurse, how she used to be graceful and reserved in her college days, but circumstances made her bold and foul-mouthed. Her husband is wrongly accused and "must become more evil than the villains in order to protect himself and his family and punish bad guys". FL is supportive and goes on her own mission to clear his name and protect the family.

None of these words used to describe her are my own, they're taken directly from previous Soompi articles.

Im not stopping you from skipping. There's just no need to criticize after making assumptions

Those were two adjectives they chose to describe her with. Its not like they said shes made up only of beauty and confidence and good-for-nothing in all other aspects.

This isnt an opinion you're stating, its an assumption based on an author's choice of words. If you watched the drama and noticed that she was only valued for her beauty, THEN it becomes an opinion based on observation.

Idk, but you can also see that she gets sunbae privilege and extra consideration and respect because she is solo and a legend. Don't get me wrong, I love Hyolyn and I'm rooting for her(got interested in Queendom only because of her and Queen Taeyeon), but as a competition, I feel like it isn't fair. Kep1er literally worships her, and the others also do, but a little less conspicuously. None of them would ever disagree with her, they give extra importance to everything she says, and you saw how everyone looked when WJSN insisted on sixth place when it was the spot Hyolyn wanted.

There's always this one person who HAS to read between the lines and come to their own conclusions 🙄 sure, they used only two adjectives, but what's so wrong about beauty and confidence?

1 hr 56 minutes of Hyun Bin getting beaten up by everyone - story was good, the twists and turns were fun, but goodness stop hitting the poor guy XD

ngl it feels a little unbalanced at this point... Hyolyn has been in the industry for more than a decade and has participated in so many shows while Kep1er is a group of literal babies. It wasn't very hard to predict the results of Round 1 at all. I also suspect that Hyolyn might win the whole thing. They should have chosen more equal groups, or left Hyolyn out. I understand that she's only solo while the others are a group but when has that ever been a big disadvantage? She has experience, and that puts her on a level high above the others

Lol wth is this how description? Spineless woman falls for guy who treats her like trash because pf a misunderstanding. Everybody sorts everything out, happily ever after.

The chances of it being a romance are low, since he did Flower of Evil before this one. He usually does one romance one no-romance so the most i expect are a few glsnces here and there

Lol your dp... i have to say ive been staring at ut for the past five minutes *_*

Then none of us are allowed to comment because of all the people kept in our jails and running free doing various crimes.... where do you live, Utopia?

screamed all the way throughout the entirety of Episode 11 and I'm shamelessly whipped enough to admit it

I SWEAR, "Neighbor aunties" is the PERFECT description for some of these busybodies

I dont think its just the young audience... I actually think there may be more older fans than new ones. I myself have been watching dramas for three years and 90% of them are romcoms. I adore romcoms, so I can confdently say that I have seen every single plot and trope in dramaland.

So why am I giving this such a high rating? Because I miss those dramas and I'm so happy someone is finally doing it RIGHT, giving me what I want. I love romcoms, and so the genre doesnt bore me, though it does get repetitive. However, with ABP... there's something that sets it apart. It draws heavily from all the most beloved romcoms in kdrama history, while also giving these tropes their own spin, making them better. The main characters take so many good decisions... I'm always waiting for them to take the cliche path and do some noble idiocy nonsense but they keep surprising..

I love the trust they have in each other. I love that they're sticking together and pulling through without unnecessarily tormenting themselves or the other. I love the fact that BOTH of them are so in love with each other. I've watched way too many dramas to know what an "average fun romcom" is. And this one exceeded all my expectations. They went above and beyond with this plot and production. It's pure, unadulterated joy. The chemistry is on point, the comedy is well written, and the characters have very good comedic timing. They know just how to be over-the-top enough for a drama like this, without really overacting and spoiling the fun.

I don't compare dramas to other dramas when rating them. I evaluate it according to it's own standards and the standards of the "average fun romcom". Let 25 21 be 25 21, and let ABP be ABP. Both have their own charms, but it is their ability to please that gives them the ratings they get. So what if ABP is "less meaningful" than other dramas with the same rating? IMO, it packed quite a few good lessons, too. I love the support and affection, the dialogues and the smart ways in which they handle their problems. They're silly when it's sunny, but wise and kind during stormy weather. I was able to relax, have fun, laugh till my sides hurt watching this silly, sweet little thing.

I gave Flower of Evil the same rating as ABP. That doesn't lessen or remove any of the depth and impact FOE had on me. FOE shook me to the core while ABP was like a warm hug on a winter night. FOE is FOE, a beautiful psychological thriller-melo, and ABP is ABP, a fantastic fluffy romcom.

theyre all crazy and dont know how to just sit back and ENJOY a drama without picking it apart and trying to feel superior

Never realized how attached I've become until I literally SOBBED over the duet of the OST they posted 😭😭
thanks for keeping your promise, guys~~~ I'll be playing your song at least a million times today~

Ikr literally the entire beagle line is missing

Goodness every time Taeyon appears on screen I get goosebumps. She's such an elegant, beautiful person with an amazing stage presence. 😍

Awwh

If you're fine watching it raw, the raw video drops on Viki about 5 hours after it airs on Mnet. Rough subs take about ten hours and proper subs(including song lyrics) should come in the next two days, depending on the volunteers.

If not for the mains, you HAVE to watch for the SFL Veronica PAAAAArk. She is one iof the biggest icons in kdramaland... shes like a sweeter/kinder/funnier version of the It's Okay to Not Be Okay FL.
