Not really.

In Hyung is his ex girlfriend so there are some feelings there, and I think he just opposes everything JJ does cos JJ is always trying to defeat him at any cost so he's not happy to see him hanging around GY

I may not like the Female Lead, but she really needs a manager. The director of the show is an a**h*** and she needs to be protected. They presented him as quirky but he knew exactly what would happen when he edited the show for a sensational response without any care for what could happen to Geun Young, and all he cares about is capitalising on her humiliation and pain. I think ep 7 was the first time I didn't absolutely hate her and I hope I can eventually like her.

I don't like that we're getting so much backstory and development for Hoo Joon while Geun Young is still just the same after 7 episodes. I was hoping we could get more about her rather than the surface level nonsense we're being fed. When she said she started this so she had to see it through to the end in ep7, I found myself asking, what end? What exactly is her goal now? Is she just going to sit in the apartment and write about how Hoo Joon might be gay or mean or whatever? Is she attempting to do any investigating? Is she learning anything at all from this experience? She doesn't appear to be gaining anything other than a bathtub to sleep in (which, again, WHY can't she get paid and move to her own place?????) and she's certainly not shown any kind of growth. I hoped we'd get a glimmer when Geun Young and Hoo Joon were talking about abandonment but that hope was swiftly murdered.

Also, I really need JJ to get a life. Torturing his girlfriend and himself over Hoo Joon who is literally just trying to live his life is an immensely stupid way to spend their time and I wish In Hyung would get some resolve and make a decision about her life that isn't based on these men. I have to agree with a comment I read that said the women are very poorly presented in the show cos we're getting to the halfway mark and still, no growth, no insight, no anything about the female leads. It's very frustrating,

I keep waiting for her to find some real self awareness and get better but every week she just gets worse?

This was actually a lovely assortment of stories. If I had to rank from favourite to least favourite, I'd say 29 (for the romance), 42 (for the heartbreaking realism), and a split between 35 & 23 (for the absurdity).

I found each story quite interesting in its own way and the thing I liked least was probably Jun Ji Sung but that's probably cos she was an unlikeable character. Absolutely recommend all the stories.

Lol! True.

Hwa Jung could stop Ji Ah from risking her life recklessly if she just stopped lying to her and trying to manipulate her. I get that she cares about her, but Ji Ah is literally ready to do anything just to find out what happened now which will lead to greater chances of her being harmed. I don't know what Hwa Jung is hiding but I'm tired of her deceitful a**.

She's in a much more tricky position because she's new and she's an employee. She had no way of knowing what would happen if she refused him, and as the person in the position of power it's up to him to put a stop to it. She could say no, sure, but that could lead to him making her lose her job because she made him unhappy. Employers should be more conscious of crossing the line. I even had the same problem with the actress inviting the tutor to drink and talking to her like they're friends.

It seems to me that the tutor and the illegitimate son are going to drive the actress mad cos the gaslighting has already started. If the tutor isn't the one who's dead I will be very disappointed cos I really don't like her.

I don't care at all for the story of the young maid and the grandson. He's incredibly inconsiderate but we're supposed to feel sorry for him because his mother left and he has trouble sleeping? That poor girl is hanging onto this job for dear life and he only cares about his needs which may end up costing her this job.

Finally, I cannot stand the mother and daughter plate-destroying duo. They are so annoying and the constant screaming is more than I can take.

Just the kind of light-hearted rom-com I needed. I absolutely recommend this.

I'm confused as to why FL can't ask for an advance so she can rent her own place. This kind of logic where she has to live at his place in secret makes no sense to me and that constantly takes me out of it.

Apart from that, everything else is ridiculous and since I decided not to care even a little bit, it's been more enjoyable to watch. It's good to pass the time with, but I'm not invested in any of the characters yet so I'm not affected by their foolishness lol.

Also, after 4 eps I find the FL to be way less likeable than the ML. He's not great by any means, but of the two, he's been much more palatable.

This is giving me Private Lives vibes but the storytelling seems tighter here. So far, so good.

A perfect drama.

ML went from adorable to creepy way too fast. Lol.

This was certainly a painful journey but truly satisfying. Not even the alt ending could fix my broken heart. I loved this show, and I would've loved it even more if there was just a little less pain.

I'm at ep 8 after taking a couple of weeks off from this drama and one trope that never fails to irritate me is when people say "I know who is behind this" and then don't say who it is. Why did his brother bother saying that if he wasn't going to tell him who it is? What's the point of writing "it's someone close to us" when the big reveal is that it's a person we have never actually seen before because in fact, he's not close to them. He could easily have written "it's X from such and such a place" and saved us all some time. I find that very, very annoying and I just had to rant a bit lol.

I think it also made it worse for me because we know Vincenzo is a man who's comfortable around violence so it was obviously not the guy's character that got that reaction out of him. I know there's a lot of exaggeration in the show already but the one character who had not displayed that kind of behaviour was Vincenzo, until of course that telling moment. I can understand your annoyance and frustration. It was unnecessary.

Agreed. It struck me that in a show that is full of morally questionable characters, especially Vincenzo, they really went out of their way to portray the only confirmed gay man as a special kind of psychopath. I got the feeling that the guy at the clothes shop taking his measurements was also checking him out and his reaction there was also iffy. I feel like there are many ways they could've gone that wouldn't have played into this tired, offensive, stereotype but here we are (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻

I guess the way it ended makes some sense because it's literally called "The Beginning", but boy did that feel completely underwhelming and disappointing. It had a lot of promise but in the end, I was left wishing for a more compelling plot with more coherent characters. I'm not mad I watched it, I just wish different choices were made.

I wish I could go back to the beginning of this show when Gu Reum was smart and savvy and not so easily manipulated. Ep 10 left a sour taste in my mouth and as much as I've been annoyed with her before, I've never been so disgusted with her behaviour. People always claim they don't have a problem with anyone who isn't like them until they have the "other" in their own home.

Can't believe Zi O stopped seeing himself as some kind of horrible creature only for Gu Reum to turn around and curse him for being who he is and call him a monster again. There's only so much abuse anyone can take before you just embrace the negative and I guess he's at his limit now, even if he still thinks it's just a means to the end of protecting his family.

Anyway, I expect the church leader, the doctor and that other dude to be dead by the time this show is over. Also, that captain has to be the biggest idiot on planet earth and I don't know why he's still alive.
