bhday

i was more broken hearted at the half of last episode, i thought this was it

beautifull series full of emotion and with such good acting

Eventhough i watch more kdramas i stopped watching the korean version halfway through, i found it was too clichee filled and too superficial for my likings. I'm glad i watched this adaptation all the way to the end, no episode felt unnecessary or too long, human interactions felt so real and altogether this drama had so much feeling to it.

only on episode 1 and wanted to say that prosecutor is a POS for leaking that personal video and should be fired and not be able to work ever in the field. she wasn't even trialed and found guilty yet. and what's all about with Korea's obsession with media and hyping up every person and case possible?

Rescue team full non-persona mode like in every K-drama. It's not about finding them but to give them a few moments alone so romance develops. So unexpected. ML is breaking some limits or being inappropriate considering he thinks she is married. Fake marriage went for too long and it should had been resolved sooner instead of carrying the plot until now.

On episode 7 and getting annoyed by the constant occuring poor clueless and helpess female lead always getting into trouble and needs to be saved by the white knight in shining armour ML clichee. How romantic. Can't these drama writters think of anything new by now? Soon as the kid got lost in the woods and she started searching told to my self "this ain't about the kid right?". It started good with the first 2 episodes which could have been a movie but soon after it fell into banality.

Wished she remained constant if she was portrayed as a sociopatch right from the start. Forgot this is kdrama land and even bad mothers/grandmothers get redemption stories left and right. So from the last episode it seems like the writters are pushing for some redemption or at least trying to show us she's not that bad. But she's way past that point in my opinion. You don't get to change her in the last few episodes, just to make the star FL more likeable to the ''fan base'', it just take away from the consistency and credibility of the story and this is not your usual character growth/development story.

Dissapointed with this drama, it felt rushed towards the end. Second couple didn't develop almost at all, not that it was interesting anyway. Leads romance lacked any spark, too dull.

strong first 2 episodes, i hope quality stays up for the rest of the series

that's a lot of mental gymnastics to justify her actions. she uses people around her for her own benefits and gains, she doesn't care what happens to people he uses like the guy who ended up in prison. or did he trigger her as well? unlucky I guess

writting is kinda lazy and too convenient in some situations. idk what to make of her character, is it entertaining to watch her manipulate everyone around her even the people who care for her? maybe.. I guess. i've seen some people cheer for that. all right..? that's what the story revolves around it seems until now. it's just that I don't see any real progress to the story, she's just trouble everywhere she goes and that's it.

I wanted to root for the FL's character and story but she's so manipulative toward the men around that care for her, i just can't. She could have sent her father to jail but that doesn't make a better or interesting enough plot than sending an innocent guy there that tried to help her.

she should probably remember it as a traumatic event, even for a little girl to see someone drenched in blood should not be a happy memory. but her remembering him as her first love talking about head shapes, it's just a weird pushed dynamic. K-drama writers/producers just want to romanticize every childhood encounter like it was predestined and a love is more pure if they randomly met and are tied as kids. I just find it creepy as hell and unnecessary

Just watched ep. 5 and it's pissing me off. I dont't mind the popular ever occuring fake marriage main plot but.. What the hell are these writters thinking to romanticize every kindergarden level childhood encounter that the leads have. Is no romance possible and not wholesome enough if the leads have not met when they were literally children? How tf is this interaction wholesome in anyway that the writter is making the little girl having her first ''love'' a boy with his head full of blood which just had an accident, because she liked his ''head shape'' and she remembers him in her 30s? Like what the fuck? And then the boy is blamed by the other adults by the dead of his parents on his birthday? How does it makes the least of logic to blame a child just because the parent turned his head to talk to him when he should be watching the road in front? It's not even the dads main fault, because the criminal truck driver just swerved into their lane with the literal empty road and without even overtaking something. Maybe it's the criminal truck driver's fault and not the little boys? Does in these writters head , recycling the same childhood tropes and trauma sub plots over and over again almost each drama/romcom makes a good series, is there no any other sub plot idea to fill these episodes? It's been years and years and they are writting the same lazy ''safe plots'' not stepping their writting once, just making a generic copy-pasta kdrama these days is good enough it seems and the directors/producers are also fine with this.

no kdrama without childhood trope

how did he had the gun at him, they didn't search him?

this type of double standard was always present in kdramas and not only here. it is socially acceptable for a woman to slap/headbutt/flying kick a man and it often occurs either for the comedic factor or justified by some "because he deserved it" . if the opposite occurs some will lose their minds and call it unacceptable and scandalous calling for the show to be canceled. so on this situation her husband abused her because... he was just evil and a sociopath? for the plot? what's the story, why did she stayed for so long in such a relationship? she was a career woman it's not like she depended on her husband's money. did they have a child together? did she love him after all the abuse? was she bothered of social stigma of a divorcee? was she scared to report him because it might affect her career? or just for the plot and to villainise men once again while woman are always the victim? give a little bit of backstory either than some men are just abusive and violent POS.

I still think it's really hard even if the artist is good to replicate that with the dad detail, if something is slightly off then the face simetry for example is ruined. For what I know he didn't had acces to the painting and he didn't buy it, he just saw it somewhere or photographed it. He knew he wanted to copy it but somehow decided not to buy it, copy it then destroy it like you said. Although, can you replicate something with such detail from a photo or memory? It could just be a plot hole and. nothing more.

I think they were 6 months apart but yeah still hard to prove with so low distance apart. I'm still curious how did the artist replicate her painting with the dad detail.

She is portrayed as very knowledgeable and competent, that's why it's surprising her not talking to her client and ask her if she drew the painting or copied it. That's the basis for building her case, she has to know for a start if her client is guilty of the accusations. She just went there believing her client is innocent and the famous artist was the one who copied her.
