I looked at your list of shows and outside of our differing opinions on this one, you liked a lot of the same shows I’ve seen. I was gonna recommend Flower of Evil, but it seems you’ve already seen it. It was one of my faves. Anywho, I hope you find a show that you like 😊
I think it’s important to separate drama from real life. These themes can work in shows because they’re written…
Oh for sure; isn’t this what fiction is about? How many of us love our bad boys, badass women, antiheroes and morally ambiguous characters? Most of the stuff we eat up in dramas are things that wouldn’t be considered “healthy” in real life 🤭I’m not judging. I just find it interesting sometimes why some people have problems with certain themes in Speed & Love and yet also love shows with murderous characters and other elements of toxicity in them. 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t understand why there’s so much hate for such a good drama. Episodes 15 and 16 haven’t even been…
Oh there are legit trolls on here who hide in anonymity and purposely down rate shows and episodes that a) haven’t yet aired or b) they’ve never seen just because they don’t have lives and find some strange sense of purpose in being assholes 🙃 - whether it be because they have a strong dislike for a particular actor / actress who stars in the show, or they’re sabotaging one show that may be competing for another one that they prefer. Either way, they’re nothing more than pathetic bullies who make themselves feel better by tearing others down. Worse than bullies, perhaps, because they’re cowards hiding behind a screen. Or bots, I suppose.
So I am just gonna make a post about why it never bothers me at all when non blood-related “siblings” develop a romantic attachment to each other, even if they grow up together. Essentially, there are studies out there that indicate that biological opposite-sex siblings have an innate aversion to each other’s smells. They say it’s an innate, evolutionary mechanism to prevent inbreeding and incest. It seems fine to me that two people who don’t share DNA could develop a romantic attraction to each other. Why couldn’t they? How is two non-related people growing up together and falling in love much different than someone falling in love with their lifelong best friend? So to me, the themes in this show or other shows like Hidden Love don’t bother me. For reference- National Institutes of Health (.gov) posted a couple research studies on it, Wayne State University also referenced a similar study. That’s all. 🤷🏼♀️ Also, I’m not here to debate. If the themes in shows like this are triggering and upsetting to you, as usual don’t watch- it’s all good! No one is gonna judge you for not watching a show that is upsetting you. 😊

It just seems to be a cultural thing. With a lot of Asian cultures being formal about using names, showing respect through what names you call the person you’re talking to / about, it seems to be an intimate gesture to name someone informally. Personally I think it’s really sweet.

Yeah, so that scene in Speed and Love when she playfully called him “brother” and he got all blushy didn’t bother me. It reminded me a lot of that scene in What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim when the FL called the ML “oppa” and he blushed like mad.

Yeah like in Korea the term “oppa” - it’s used toward actual blood-related brothers, but I have also seen it used as a term of endearment towards a boyfriend.
I think the childish behaviour/dressing like a child everyone is complaining about is completely purposeful. The…
Agreed, although sometimes I think that she’s acting a little too much like a child. She’s biologically about 19 (so I’ve read), but sometimes she seems to act like she’s in her early teens or younger in some ways. It doesn’t negatively impact my enjoyment of the show, as I chalk it up to her growing up pampered and sheltered. I am hoping, however, that after they reunite she’ll act a bit more grown up.
Bro he is not exactly adopted!! he is her father's best friend's son!!
ASJ- So what you’re implying is that a piece of paper signed by the government indicating an adoption took place is what determines the moral wrongness of the lead’s romance? How does that even make sense 😂
Pffftttt disagree 😂They have been flirting, teasing and taking turns giving each other the lusty looks since episode 2 👀wdym it’s too early? 🤭Can’t blame a girl for hoping 😏
Also, that first kiss… was that one cut out? I got confused because the one we saw the beginning of at the end of 14 came after.
