Assassination (2015) - 15:47

1. The way the medical professions are portrayed was just bad. Seems like psychologist's job is only doing hypnosis. The other doctor suggests that all erection problems can be cured by "a new girlfriend" - I guess that's supposed to be funny? I didn't find it funny. I hope nobody takes that seriously.

2. The reason behind ML's low self esteem is not explored enough or is a bit weird. The doctors in this drama suggest that his low self esteem comes from.. him protecting his girlfriend and taking a glass hit for her? We can assume that it caused him to obsess over pink and that caused him to fail the exams... but it's just an assumption. I think it should've ben explored more (as we're dealing with a therapy here).

! SPOILER !
3. In the last episode: It turned out that FL manipulated ML and actually did not accept the proposal but played (along with others) as if she did.
For me it felt too immature to be done by the character I've seen so far. I'd rather accept a standard cliche where she realises that she's making a mistake, apologises to 2ML, breaks off the engagement and runs to the ML.

It's a quite unique drama and I liked the idea behind it.
However there's a few things that make me rate it lower than I would like to:

You Raise Me Up (2021) - intro

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 5 (traditional food gift as an apology)

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 8, 42:37 (bag of noodles)

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 1, 00:33

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 2, 02:42

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 7, 39:22

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 1, 01:25 😉

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 3, 03:16

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 1, 18:30

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 4, 26:36

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 5, 29:50

You Raise Me Up (2021) - ep 6, 20:55

No, no, no.
The most pathological is the ML - he cheats on his wife (that he doesn't know), abuses drugged FL, forces her to kiss even after she tells him that she's married (which is true) 😣 I really want FL to leave this dude because guys like that never change - if they have a chance they will cheat on their wife with any girl they find attractive at the moment. And FL is very hot. I added her to my favourites 😍
😉

True, and ML is clearly abusing the FL. There are so many red lights here:
1. The drama starts with a sexual abuse - ML is having sex with drugged FL + he is married (and he doesn't know she's his wife so from his perspective he's cheating)
2. He's kissing her without her consent (+he's married...)
3. He's touching her her while she sleeps and he sleeps next to her bed while they're not in a relationship (+he's married...)
4. Even when she tells him that she's married he ignores that and forcefully kisses her - it looks like an attempted rape (he ignores that they are both married)
5. ...and that all happens in the first 11 episodes. I don't know what's next.

The actors are beautiful but the story...
I mean if it was a thriller with not so optimistic ending then it could be ok I guess. But this is not a thriller and this drama seems to romanticise sexual abuse 😞

Watching this drama really feels like a *guilty pleasure*

What is going on here?
Why is this... thing so popular?
Did all of you make a new year's resolution to watch short length series or what? All the short series I've checked before had like 1-5 comments.

Also did I see correctly that the whole show starts with a SA? I'm telling mom!
