I can’t help but compare the ML’s mother’s story with Seri’s mother’s story from CLOY. Here, she’s been depressed for years because her husband was unfaithful and brought his illegitimate child home. Now she’s finally getting divorced, as she should. But in CLOY, when the mother was cold toward Seri, the illegitimate child, she was portrayed as a negative character. By the end, she ended up loving Seri like her own daughter and stayed happily married to her husband and viewers even celebrated that. I guess it really depends on who the illegitimate child is. If it’s the main lead, everyone automatically sides with them.
Knowing what the director and the male actor turned out to be like in real life, I can never accept the excuse of “it’s just a movie.” No matter how much they try to shield themselves behind artistic freedom, stories like this don’t come from a normal, well adjusted perspective. Depicting violence or extremity up to a point is one thing but creating something this unhinged makes me side eye everyone involved. Apparantly the actress left the industry after this
She’s perceptive, and the resemblance was already there. She wasn’t completely certain at first, but when…
I wasn’t surprised by that tbh. Her mother used to abuse her and children do hold grudges. She’s a sociopath here and she was probably thinking she’s better off without her mother.
I feel so bad for her boss. If he were doing all this because he wanted to pursue her romantically, I wouldn’t feel bad at all, especially because of their age gap. I can’t believe how many people I saw were defending her here. Having past trauma doesn’t give her the right to ruin innocent people. She feels exactly like her parents. You can argue they made her that way or that it’s just genetics. That man was simply being a decent human being.I don’t think we need to defend every main character.

Yeah but I’m surprised at the part where she even figured it out, because most asian kids her age usually think married couples automatically have children
I just started watching it and the little girl instantly guessed that the boy’s real father might be the chauffeur just from seeing the picture. I mean, I get the other things she did considering she’s a sociopath but how did she guess that? At her age, I used to think being married automatically meant having a baby😭
I’m hesitant to watch it because of the female lead, even though the edits are trending. And it’s not just that she isn’t conventionally pretty for a main lead role. Her acting wasn’t impressive in Pachinko either. I honestly don’t understand how she keeps getting lead roles. If she were in a drama with an alternate female lead, she would get the same treatment Hong Suzu got
Be fr. I only see unattractive people rising in the entertainment industry lately. Acting isn’t just any regular…
That’s exactly why I’m saying they shouldn’t bring that into the Asian industry as well. Just look at the American example.It’s full of people with no good looks and zero acting talent and I don't want asian industry to turn out like that

When they became public figures, they knew their every move would be scrutinized. Considering how much money they earn, I can’t waste my time defending them while they keep getting richer.

Most American celebrities are. Take that recent TikTok show The Summer I Turned Pretty for example,everyone there is just meh looking. We used to have love triangles like The Vampire Diaries where both looks and acting delivered.
Now we’re stuck with these mid triangles. Forget about looks,they can't even act. All this forced positivity is exactly what’s leading to the decline of real talent.
