People complaining about it being boring and too much screen time to few participants are all legit. But the underlying reason I think is just one episode per week.As you get into the environment start to feel the air a week gap and all excitement vanishes. The season I find to be really interesting we are not yet half the season done with so judging male or female conditions till now is fine but things can change a lot although pacing and screentime makes us feels like we will have final choices already scripted. This needed 2 episodes per week badly feels like I have been watching from eternity and 6 episodes have only been completed.

Exactly you can't send such strong signals to all girls as a good person. Girls have found out he went on date with other girls. But all of them feels he liked them better than the other because he sent strong signals ad he didn't find connection with the other one. While we see how he has sent strong signals to everyone keeping all of them on hook. Well maybe we getting jealous of his skills which gives us malice against him irrespective of that it is ot correct

You took my usage of psycopath literally. You put forward argument that it is his NATURE and so he does things like that so we should give him benifit of doubt. I am against that argument because actions are to be judged on morality whether you like it or not.Morality is ofcourse subjective. So I used psycopath to say well if psycopath (not him anyone) who is serial killer will you justify his killings because it is his NATURE. I used it as an example
He is not an psycopath why would I suggest something so strong against anyone.

First let's remove the theory it is all scripted and all and live in the show environment. The show creates comparisons with other people of same gender. The fact is WY is too powerful yes but it is contributed more because of lacking impact by other male leads. Secondly we as viewers are seeing WY how he his playing THE game as a pro player keeping his options open but girls there can't see one on one interaction is having with other girls. The fact is that one on one he provides such a strong pull and then in group setting he decides whom to pull or push according to situation. This pull-push is not a sign of a person from long relationship or can be in. He doesn't put efforts according to you and it's his nature doesn't justify that his actions are right. As such psychopaths have tendency to be serial murderer it's their "nature" doesn't justify actions right. Now the thing which boils down to most is what commitment level are you looking for. if it is same for both person be it one night stand or a lifetime well the outcome is successful. If I have Outlook of lifetime I would feel WY action irritating while if I am in other bracket or in between per say I will say this is dating show and he has the right to keep his options open get to know all and then decide. It's not cheating as he is not dating anyone yet. For me it is emotional cheating being two faced. If he was not while choosing girls he wouldn't go last. He knows choosing anyone on spot is bad for his game.( Or it is scripted like that). While it is also fueled by fact other are playing checkers while he is playing chess.

After a long time, I am eager to watch the next episodes in a kdrama. What I liked most after the acting cast storyline and all is that the romance part is well-written. Lately, in KDramas, you find ML chasing a FL while she is ignorant of all this till the 7th episode, along with an annoying SML confusing FL. This means one heart moving towards another at Ferrari speed while the other is stationary. In this story, both hearts have been moving at a similar pace towards one another, and this sweet spot is very rare in recent dramas. Although we haven't had any overly romantic moments yet, we feel both are already in love. Love the writing till now, hope it moves in a similar direction, and finally, a romcom very well done so far.

I made the same mistake watching first time. I watched the story from the ML perspective and you would find many flaws in story which people are pointing out subdued ML better SFL annoying FL selfish and all ( which people are commenting) but from my 2nd and 3rd watch I started watching from FL perspective and you start feeling her pain and her feelings and that overshadows all the flaws and made it a complete drama. ofcourse osts cinematography and other aspects will always pull me to watch again

Ahhhh the hate is too much.I have watched it for more than 5 times.The first time I got the same feeling as you got FL Gaslighted ML and then ML accepted the role of doormat kind of thing Still was my favourite since the music and cinematography is still unmatched to any other is what I feel. But as I saw repeatedly I got to say that there is no better FL than her. Yes she had her insecurities but you got to understand that she was the only one mature enough and ML is behaving childishly even 5 years later. The dynamic is totally different when you understand that ML tells her he loves her first time at the end of last episode while FL tells so in past itself. The SML was never an option for her and her feelings never changed just her circumstances made her to mov out of it. When you see the series from perspective that she was more in love with him than he was you will understand and enjoy the series much more and SML will not annoy instead sadden you that he never had a chance.

As I mentioned in other thread as well The golden days of romcom was accompanied with golden episode number of 16. These 10-12 episode are unable to bring out the excitement of unpredictable things

or maybe there was no time in story where this chemistry could be developed organically? I feel that kdramas with multiple genres mixed with romcom such as fantasy crime thriller are feeling less enjoyable in 12 ep frame. The airing In your radiant season feels much better because maximum screentime is with main leads and there development and doesn't involve much of other themes.

The drama keeps on becoming funnier. Don't want to repeat what the whole comment section is screaming, so let's take a different perspective.
What if just a small change in drama was made, and ML didn't confess as early as ep 6 and hadn't confessed yet? We know he is in love, but didn't confess. Well, just this small change might take out all the romance aspect from drama and we would feel that ML and FML both are focusing more on woo joo than romance, albeit FML is enjoying dates, but we can't blame her anymore, can we, or maybe we can something to ponder about.
Secondly, in general, I am finding myself moving more to cdrama from kdrama (in romcom) because of the length. The 16-episode format allows the writer and producer to bring calmness and some freshness from all million dramas already made. The 12 episodes feel all too rushed, and there is no surprise factor anymore. You enjoy the setting and everything in the first 4 ep but then you know how things should move to give a correct ending by ep 12, which takes the soul out of drama( well, this drama is surprisingly in a bad way). Cdramas are longer and give you that calmness, and hence people find themselves moving to it, although I find story depths more in kdramas, being the pioneer

e.g., take no tail to tell. In general, gumiho fantasy romcoms are never a miss. But watching it felt like something was missing. It had everything that these have, but still, that connection felt missing and hence too rushed. In mordern you take on undercover Miss Bong or go back to when life gives you tangerines, which makes you feel connected to the character, and the side stories are explored longer. This drama as well with 16 ep could have been something we could enjoy with more development with child.

How she feels about ML or SML or may have feelings for both is not questionable.But the fact is she doesn't have priorities straight between love life/work/child raising. When the counterpart has confessed their feelings she should either reject or accept or tell she needs space to think and answer. But she is ignoring as if she didn't listen at all which in turn is humiliating other person feelings. You can't just judge one' s feelings but whether their actions are hurting others feelings which is in this case does

ATP, I am enjoying this drama so much. I am looking forward to how much worse it can get. Initially, the FL was frustrating as hell, and the past trauma and pain of ML were overwhelming the mind. Well, with each episode, FL is becoming more confused, and the writer is piling up more pain on ML instead of healing it. While other shitty love triangles show the SFL as well (barely for one episode) where we at least see where FL is going. This isn't a shitty love triangle its just two confused people inflicting more pain on one person. You wish ML leaves FL side, but you can't ask for that, as it would mean leaving Woo Joo as well, which will just put ML in depression, I suppose (looks so in ep 9 preview). ATP ML can't leave FL pour all his love and sacrifice everything for her while she goes on dates and is confused as hell. So let's enjoy the ride to the downhill the writer is taking us.
