A person suffering of EVERY kind of mental disorder, is indeed annoying and unbearable. But we,humans, are not as pinky fluffy pretty as many people want to think. We look unbearable when we get sick, when we are in pain, when we are angry. Korean writers usually depict human nature (at least in the latest years) in a very unatural way, beautified to the point that the characters look like cartoons with no soul. The drama was realistical -and those who suffer or have people close to them with mental disorders-think same as me.

He did that after their fight. I think he firstly thought about her ptsd situation, cause he is also a person who acts without much thinking (hence his disorder with anger management). So it was natural that the first thing he did was to doubt her, but then he wearched the cameras

Even people without a diagnosed disorder, may behave like that in case they are in panic, despair, pain. I found it realistic, just the last part confused me a bit. But as for the FL, i could never blame a person with such a traumatic experience to behave as an egoistic, arrogant, rude piece of s@t. Only if you consider that her experience happened only a few months before, god, i ve been like that with less important bad things.

I agree with all your points except the last one. I mean, this drama depicts mental disorders and personalities in a very realistic way. So its not uncommon when a person kind of "uses" his mental disorder features (usually after recovering or having it under control) to manipulate in a way other people. But in this case, i think the guy that was beaten was somewhat a known suspect-when she saw his face, she browsed with her mobile and found his picture-so i guess that had to do something with his identity-im not so sure about the whole thing. Overall i agree that this behaviour though its common as i said before, it was oute of character for the ML. The only way i could justify it is if he didnt really beat the guy, but just said so to her. They ve shown that he indeed beat him and it was a fail. Im also confused about other stuff in the last episode. It really looks kind of rushed

The last episodes were indeed a bit messy but overall...FINALLY a kdrama with real adults behaving like ADULTS and not like cutie cheesy bears with 10000 beautification filters. FINALLY we saw wrinkles on faces of 30-40 yo people. FINALLY we saw people expressing their sexuality and thoughts just like in real life. Though i was also a bit annoyed with the last few episodes, i didnt skip a second through the whole thing-and im the queen of fast forward in dramas. The couple had a unique explosive chemistry in every sense and the storytelline was ok, sometimes confusing. They had a common repetitive in kdramas trope, so i guess they wanted to keep the audience excited with editing and flashbacks, but they didnt succeed on that aspect. Still, the couple's dynamic kept me wanting for more and i really loved them.

Its not her weight or her appearance. She just cant act. Be it for the direction or anything, an actor who can create and give birth to a character, he/she will do it, no matter what even with the worst of the direction

Oh god yes! He was perfect in first 3-4 episodes, yelling, stalking her and when alone daydreaaming! Such charming character and they turned him into a fluffy puffy lovey bear! Such a waste!

I dont know if that applies to other countries as well, but in my country (Greece), this bowl haircut, is literally made with a bowl: moms put a bowl on their boy's head and cut his hair in that shape hahahahahahah

So?

Another non realistic same old trope of 2 virgins 30yo who are the only virgins among the whole cast.
With absolutely no reason at all.
Not to mention, how stupididly written was the ML's character-though the actor did his best. He went to the lawyer to ask him directly if he was an antifan? LOL
And when he was sitting outside with his manager, some guys attacked them, the manager stood up to defend him and he was just sitting and watching his manager AND friend to get beaten???? REALLY?
It started very well, i laughted so much during the first 3 episodes, their constant fights and dialogues were hilarious, i wish the writers insisted on that style for many episodes-if not for the whole drama. Then it went downhill to a place that nobody knew what the writers wanted to present. A thriller? An action drama? I had to drop and skip the rest of the episodes so to have a better view on the whole project.

What age difference? The actress is only 5 years older
really now?

Actually is the correct title (the one you wrote). I ve searched it same too

So, people's problem is the stereotypical image of the whole Africa continent, and not the western crimes and genocides starting with the colonialism era, the financial support to civil wars in multiple counries in Africa, the constant medicine experiments for the drugs we use in the west and the fact that the whole west is leaving literally on Africa's corpse since centuries now?
No you re not snowflakes. You re merely idiots. If you read this and answer, i will not spend a second post-i ve had enough of humans stupidity out there and in here. Never wasting a 2nd answer so to save my brains.

Nothing new! Didnt you see with what stuff they're spending their working hours? Gossip, styling, doing errands for every little s@t that the stars order etc.
A deeply sick star system just like Hollywood, but smaller in size

To me its ok. I still cant get over the fact that ALL Korean actors for the past 10+ years have the same mushroom style haircut like 5 yo!

Actually the scary ones are those who think that art products of any kind are supposed to give morality lessons.

I know right? Simple, pure, warm and with that Japanese sense of reality that is so relatable, so deeply emotional! I could easily watch a bunch of 20 more episodes, just watching all of them living their lives! Dramas like that, prove that original and deep stories dont need big budget, filters or anything. 10 from me too!

oh god that was bad, i mean REALLY BAD!
Not the actors fault though, they gave pretty decent performances-the whole cast-
but the story was pointless, nothing happens.
Whoever wants romance, should be satisfied with FL and 2ndML and thats all.
Whoever expects kisses between the leads, nope! 1.5 second almost fake kiss at the last episode and thats all.
A supposed to be slow burn romance, but it turned a total failure.
It could be made better if it was a melodrama, or a dark theme one, where the 2 besties never express their feelings and we got a bad ending. But now its an epic failure
And dont get me started with the useless pointless draggy scenes -my finger got stuck on the ff button so to skip

My exact thoughts. This is not a-let me call it-representative jdarama in terms of story telling. Jdramas are mostly cheap productions (unless we re talkin about those that are sold to netflix which are very westernized cause they have mostly western audience as a target) but they re top notch in terms of narrative and originality. The stories often leave you breathless and i ve never remembered myself skipping scenes in a jdrama-be it of any genre. This one wasnt bad, it was just draggy and pointless-plus the very poorly written FL as a desperate 30yo who at one moment wants desperately to get married and the next MPAM she gets "wise" again thinkin that marriage is not her cup of tea (and we re talkin about a 30yo let me remind you-too young to get married in any case). The acting though, was good by the whole cast
