xuehua

my case is quite the opposite of yours, I like romcom genres and usually I watch those with super cliche plots (like true beauty), however, these recent years I grew tired of such dramas, so now I also only watch and like romcoms if they have angst, slice of life, or a lil bit of thriller in them etc.

They've actually already given us insight about that part at ep 8 timestamp 14:20. I think for the upcoming episodes this week, the story of her and her annoying ex might finally be wrapped up and we'd get a clearer answer if he really did cheat on her or not, also on why her behavior towards him is like that knowing she no longer has any feelings for him.

I'm all ready and excited for tomorrow's upcoming ep 9 and 10. I think I need to prepare tissues for the intense scenes, I can't wait to see the scene where both of them bursted out in all of their emotions. Looking forward to finally bid her annoying ex bye bye hehe....also, can't wait to see more progress between Moeum and her mudflatman cause I am still not over her hilarious unintended revelation about her 'crush'!!!

That scene is actually one of my favourite scenes of theirs. I agree, every single thing about it alone is pure magic and I find it so heartwarming. Most specially with that exact line of SeungHyo which you've mentioned, the way I interpret it is like: "you can take off the mask on your face now, you are safe with me" or "I see you, it's okay to be the real you". It truly is like you've said simple but captivating. As I see SeokRyu's character as the type to carry everything on her shoulders and suffer alone (kinda relate to her with hiding her real feelings), I find that line alone very meaningful and comforting. It made me wish, I had someone like Choi SeungHyo in real life.

So true! this is one of the reasons that makes me love their relationship so much and makes me super excited for more of their romance progress!!

This is so true. I witnessed those toxic moments as well as I have watched QOT before. I agree, they can't seem to keep LND out of their mouths, just shows how bothered they are and YES, no matter how much negativity/toxicity they try to spread, their opinions won't hinder LND's success. Though it's commendable how they are putting in so much effort to spread hate about LND, I wish I had that much time to waste haha

True. I've noticed it too. Some are clearly just hate for the drama not 'criticism'. I also find it funny at the same time because of how they nitpick every single thing about LND. I remember replying to one comment here the other day about how they disliked that the ML & FL are always together which is so silly because where else would they be then 😭😂 haha. Anyway, the fact that they keep spreading hate about LND even spreading it on other 'dramas' comment section just proves to show how bothered they are that at the end of the day, a lot of people are still loving this drama despite the amount of hate they spread.

I agree, I don't see the connection at all haha they just obviously hate this drama and is hiding under a troll/alternate acc

yeah they were all over my timeline then, even having the same body guard actually became an issue haha

dating rumors are actually normal in Kdramas especially those of romcom genre, there are other romcom dramas (QOT, CLOY, LOVELY RUNNER ETC.) or even ones with a different genre that also had dating rumors circulating around so to put it simply it's a Kdrama thing so it happens all the time and LND is no exception from having such.

You are spot on! disagreements are truly bound to happen whether one likes it or not and just because someone disagrees it doesn't automatically equate to it being a hate comment or targeted harassment towards the commenter. Sadly, these days it's no longer easy to have such kind of conversational exchange without it turning into something toxic. Gone are the good days. So true! i'm glad we share the same sentiments because yeah it is truly too nitpicking :)

YES! you have clearly said what has been on my mind. I was only stating that opinion here as I am against such type of criticisms that overlooks those facts, as I find them actually irrelevant. I respect people who have different opinions and interest, and am usually not the type to engage in comments that differs from my opinion but the statement OP had made here is really the bottom line for me. Simply, it doesn't make sense how one can deem such tropes as 'original' in a cdrama but a 'copy' when a kdrama uses it.

Yes this exactly! I actually had the same thoughts as you. While everyone was hating on the 'cancer', I was hating on her annoying ex haha I wish her ex would be gone by ep 9 already, he annoys me so much everytime he comes in the scene but I do get he has his own purpose to serve, so writernim hopefully wraps up her entanglement with her ex quickly.

Yes! in Haein Oppa we trust indeed! I swear he better not have a dark sense of humor after seeing more of his cute, goofy and playful side these days haha

ikr, I felt so thankful I got a nickname...actually the user added politeness expert such a huge compliment they even got inspired by me I feel touched hehehe!! friend I'm rooting for you! hope you get rewarded with a name soon!! <3 hehehehehe

I agree with your comment! all dramas even movies regardless from which country are bound to have similarities, even way before, because it's a norm to reuse same tropes etc. it is now just a matter of execution and how each storyline would actually go that makes them differ from one another. Sadly this user will not get your point either because they will only see it as an act of 'hatred' towards them. This user isn't good at accepting opinions that differ from theirs.

YES THIS EXACTLY! I also said this yesterday because with the way how LND storyline has been set up since the beginning of the ep, I really had my doubts about the writer making this focus heavily on the cancer plot. To add, it was only stated that she had 'cancer' years ago, so clearly she isn't in a state where she has limited amount of time left to live.

you're very much welcome! aww thank you for your compliment! I agree so much with your idea about that, you should really work on being 'polite' :) hehe

can't believe words such as relax and panic are coming from you, the one who can't differentiate between bashing and disagreeing...pls don't ever aspire to become a writer, you might not succeed in doing so because of how you fail to comprehend such hehe (this is now me bashing you incase you didn't notice)

I will also standby with my disagreement to your statement. The scenes you pointed out are also the same scenes which can be found in older kdramas lol. Plus, it's so funny how you generalized the '3-4' people for being on everyone's comment when I have only ever disagreed on your comment and one other user, not everybody. 'Spinning the narratives' when you are clearly the one doing so, you are acting so much like a victim. Regardless if you were saying 'certain scenes' or not, it honestly doesn't change the fact that your statement implies comparison between kdramas and cdramas. Just say you can't take it when people disagree with you and consider such as a threat. MDL is a free space where people can state their opinions, it's only natural if someone disagrees with your opinions, and just because they disagree with you, you needn't have to take it negatively and act all butt hurt.
