Aramintai

She doesn't like the actor ML yet, she likes his detective role persona. But it was shown that she liked when he donned that persona to act cool irl, like when he saved her at the hospital. And she likes his anonymous self on Onion, but she doesn't know it was him. It's complicated :)

Maybe because he thinks the situation is hopeless and marrying will somehow make his feelings problem go away. But it's super lame, especially considering that SFL openly stated she'll cheat on him and doesn't even want to marry him at this point.
I'm thinking they maybe setting up some jealosy plot for FL, it's her turn to suffer already. Losing her job won't be enough, you can't string along a man this way and play dumb.

Cuz he wants her to like him irl. And the director screwed up his Onion character story anyway, so he thought it was a dead end.

He suddenly wants FL too and being jealous.

Uhh, come on, just stop making ML suffer already. This is getting draggy. The next episode's teaser shows promise they'll tell him already, but you can never trust those.
And FL isn't gonna tell s*it, I can feel, she's waiting for the scandal to happen like a dumbass.

No original FL in this one, bummer.

Yea, she doesn't even buy an umbrella when there's an emergency. However, the company could have provided her one, but seems like it also saves money on its workers.

The most funny one was when ML came to the director's house to complain about what he told FL at the date and there was his manager under the blanket.

She's very thin, probably because of weight loss.

There were a few funny scenes in the last two episodes, but they're really dragging this "he knows, she doesn't" situation, barely anything happened. And of course, as always, all the irrelevant people already know.

He decided to settle on FL irl, instead of anonymous woman online. But didn't have the guts to turn her down himself. Also, being the very actor she fangirls about was making it real awkward as well.

Yea, the problem that these types of villains are basically in every kdrama. Once they appear, you can't take a drama seriously anymore, it turns into eyeroll worthy circus. And it has stopped being fresh or entertaining long time ago, but seems like writers are just plain lazy and continue copycatting each other, instead of making an effort of creating a good villain.

It's bold of you to assume I'm younger than you or that I frequent social media. Also, it's childish from you to try diminish my opinion with these sort of remarks that try to invalidate interlocutor themselves instead of the argument.
I've watched quite a lot about serial killers though and most of them have one thing in common - they can't function normally in society and are usually weird, low intelligence creeps living on the fringes. This here villain though is a high functioning sociopath, a serial killer and a megalomaniac. Writers should have chosen some of these instead of all, just makes it super unrealistic the guy's still walking free.
And yea, I prefer realism where it is warranted. This is not some crazy sci-fi and the first 4 episodes were clearly a bait for upcoming mediocre cliches beaten to death. I'm debating whether makjang here is more ridiculous than the Graceful Family, the epitome of over the top ridiculous bs.

I was talking about the Front Man in the Squid Game.
And there's nothing wrong with wanting realism, this drama hooked me because of the first 4 episodes. But then the trololo villains got introduced and all serious buildup went down the drain.
And it's my business whether to drop it or not, whether to write criticism or not. You like this brainless chewing gum, good for you, there's no point in arguing with you. I'm writing my thoughts for people on the fence whether to watch it or not.

You can't survive in a society for long if you're a serial murder hobo. No matter how much cash you splash. That junkie guy who killed one girl could have gotten away with it, but not a crazy killer who murdered looks like a hundred or so people already. And his last crazy bout was an assemblyman and whole house full of chaebol relatives. Give me a break. It would have been all over the news and everybody'd be on his ass.

The only villain that I liked watching recently was in the Squid Game. That guy had reasons and they weren't just because trololo I like killing people.

This isn't a fan site, but a discussion board. I can write whatever criticism I want.
Furthermore, villains are cringe, over the top, unnecessarily bloodthirsty and have infinite power. A very overused combination in kdramas that immediately turns off any sort of suspension of disbelief. Irl, those guys would long be sitting in mental asylums or max security prisons. And you can't massacre dozens of people, very influential among them, and hope to buy everyone to cover this up. Too many relatives, friends and public would be looking for answers.
The show started great, but unfortunately cartoonish villains dragged it down to the bottom. I wish at least once in a while in kdramas a villain was someone cold, calculating and not a crazy delulu monster with delusions of grandeur.

Eh, this turned into a dumb makjang circus with those cringy villains. Just end it already. Disappointing drama, the beginning was great.

I dropped it last week, just too boring.

Exactly, SML gotta get sh*t together.

He friendzoned himself, FL was there for years. He just didn't want to, suspiciously until ML has appeared. It's just dumb jealousy, people be like that, like a dog in the manger. I can guarantee you nothing would have happened forever if she stayed boyfriendless.
