I just started this and hadn't seen the comments about the FL being annoying before jumping into it. I'm still on the first episode and while it's cute and fun overall the FL's approach to befriending the ML is so annoying it's a complete turnoff. So much so that I'm having a difficult time with it. I'll keep watching because it's only the first episode and everything else about the drama so far has been interesting and enjoyable but man! She is grating on my nerves!

From your comment I can tell that you're referring to a lot later on in the drama but I literally just started it a few minutes ago and she is sooooooo damn annoying in this first episode that I'm having a super difficult time dealing with it. Like, the episode is cute and fun and all but her methods of befriending and becoming close to someone are so repulsive. Look at how easily and simply that female classmate approached her while she was eating for example. That's a natural way to approach and befriend someone new. Just introduce yourself, be friendly and kind. She was burdensome. Who would be receptive to someone throwing themselves at you in the way she did?

Did you end up finishing this? In the end did you enjoy it overall? Your comments pointed out several pet peeves of mine so I have the impression our tastes may be similar to some extent. Since you said you were still enjoying it despite everything you've pointed out I'm thinking about finally giving this one a chance. Were you able to finish it though?

LMAOOOOO!!! I'm so glad I asked. That was NOT the answer I was expecting. Not even close. BUT that's HILARIOUS!!!

WHY or why would she do that in the living room knowing full well she doesn't live alone! OMG!

It also shows how well the actors portrayed the character and how well the director captured it. Very well said. Hadn't even thought of this aspect of it myself.

Haven't watched it yet but I could relate to so much of what you said I had to chime in and say, well said.

So good to see open-minded and dynamic thinkers on here.

Holy crap. A great initial post with some of the best responses I've ever seen on MDL. Each comment and response is commendable.

What a fantastic post!

Done the single parent thing myself as well - although the circumstances were different as I was married first - but now I'm even more curious to see this after reading a few of your comments. I'd like to see how relatable it is for me.

I'm really, really glad you chose to share these comments too since now I know to brace myself before going into it; that I may or may not be let down with the direction the writers took or how certain things were handled.

These comments right here are the kind I hope to find on MDL. I know I may not end up agreeing with your viewpoint after watching (although my suspicion is I just might) but I completely get where you are coming from. Also, as I hate being blindsided, this info helps me prepare myself. THANK YOU!!!

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!!! I haven't started this. Just running through the comments trying to decide if it's one I'm interested in watching.

This isn't even a Japanese drama so my brain just completely shut down when I read your comment. PLEASE can you give some context. Purely for my sanity.

Please also tell me the answer to that question was, "NO! EWWW! WTF!"

That second review on here...wow. Since they didn't hold back I won't bother to either - what an absolute ASSHOLE. A completely immature one at that.

Haven't started the drama yet but from the time they referred to a teenage mother as a "slut" - I assume she wasn't sleeping around with a bunch of guys and just spreading her legs all willy nilly as an actual slut would do - then proceeded to call them "horny" and in "lust" I'd had enough. Clearly they're a child who knows nothing about real life but is quick to judge others. Because they choose to see sex as something bad they break out the whole "slut shaming" spewl. I can't believe people still behave like this in real life. I had a flashback to old 80s movies 'attempting' to read that review [I say "attempting" because not only did they disgust me so I couldn't finish reading that crap, but also either english isn't their first language or they're illiterate].

Wow. Can anyone tell that review seriously pissed me off? Quite thoroughly.

I second this post and I haven't even watched the drama yet. The Irish are infamous for their love of alcohol, so are Russians. Let's not forget our wonderful Mexicans. I'm not a big drinker, not in the least, nor am I a supporter of heavy drinking but the judgmental attitudes are extremely hypocritical and offensive.

Furthermore I agree with your statements about maintaining professionalism in the workplace. I don't know the details of what unfolded in the drama but it sounds like the typical situation which makes people feel justified in saying workplace romances should be banned. No, they shouldn't have to be banned. Not if people could behave as mature, professionals and keep their personal lives separate. There's no reason people should even need to know there were any "extracurricular interactions" occurring between coworkers, not unless they are friends with those co-workers outside of the office.

Finished it but my mood is shit now so this wasn't a good pick for me.

Just when I think okay, it's not so bad, we get this bullshit netizen bashing crap that I hate with a passion. Bunch of judgmental mf'ers who forever act like they're entitled to a say in other people's choice of lifestyle. If a person isn't causing harm to others then who the hell are we to just they way they choose to live??? None of us are perfect. "He who is without sin should cast the first stone". Not a single one of us should be casting a goddamn thing so stfu.

I definitely can't live in such a society where even who I chose to live with is a source of contention. If you aren't paying my bills or in a relationship with me then what gives you any right to have a say in how I choose to live my life? I get that's not a worldwide concept though so I understand that there are people who think differently and feel justified in doing so. I, however, couldn't give a single shit.

Yeah, this show wasn't a good idea for me to watch. My good vibes are being ruined. I'm trying to finish this but I'm really wondering why bother. I guess I just need to see them get their happy ending somehow. This drama was a bad choice for me to watch though. Again, not because it's bad. It's just not my cup of tea.

Just finished watching a few other mini/web dramas which I really enjoyed. However, this one...I think it just isn't for me. It's definitely a personal thing though.

I found the 1st episode and most of the 2nd to be really boring.

In the 3rd episode when the ML finds out she's been lying about her identity the FL didn't even remotely behave like she'd done a single thing wrong by deceiving him. She acted like she had every right to do so. If a landlord is looking for a specific kind of tenant and you falsify your info to make yourself fit their requirements, just because you paid rend doesn't mean you aren't in the wrong. She was adamant and defiant and acted like people like him and her 'cousin' couldn't understand her desperation so they shouldn't judge. However, that still doesn't excuse her actions so I'm having trouble liking her.

I'm a person who values peace, tranquility, harmony and comfort in my home. It's my safe place. So I'd have been WAAAAAYYYYYY angrier than the ML was when I found out the truth.

Still haven't finished this yet though so I'll see if my opinion of the FL and the drama itself changes.

That was a surprise! It was enjoyable and very well executed. The acting was great. The story was great and pretty fresh. I actually couldn't predict a lot of it.

WHEW! Thank goodness! They didn't handle that one situation the way I hoped they would - clearly and firmly - but this has otherwise hit the spot in every way I needed it to. It was surprisingly good for such a short drama. Highly recommended.

I NEEDED to see that manager dude get shut down though. That need is still sitting with me even though the drama just ended. I did not care about seeing him talking to that other chick (clearly an allusion that something may eventually develop between them).

Oh! Also, from those final little scenes it looks like the FL's best friend really did have a crush on the ML though. I'd suspected it before but it seemed pretty obvious when they showed more of her behavior after the FL showed up at his house when she'd gone live with him.

I also would have liked to see the FL talk it out with her best friend since it was he unchecked and unfamiliar feelings of jealousy that had her acting crazy. I'm sure her friend would have understood and that last scene with her also alluded to the same, but it would have been nice to at least spend a minute on that conversation between them. However, I'm good with how they handled it too.

Okay that Manager dude is SERIOUSLY out of line, repeatedly! I've had enough of him. I hope like hell she doesn't end up with his ass. Not once has she indicated any romantic feelings towards his ass whatsoever nor has she even realized his own towards her yet he's acting all possessive and claiming to be her boyfriend to everyone left and right. I hope like hell she doesn't end up with this guy.

I do like that she knew she was being a bitch and acting crazy in regards to her friend and the liver-streamer ML. That's called jealously and insecurity that's not handled well. It's clearly her first time ever having those feelings too so I like that they show her struggling those emotions so strongly. The ML's wishy-washy behavior towards her is the source of her insecurity but she's clearly not mature or confident enough to address it directly with him. I hope they show her work things out with her friend and, even if she and the ML don't end up together, I sincerely hope she DOESN'T end up with that manager guy.

On to watch the rest. I'm midway into ep 7 now.

Haven't watched this yet but wow this was seriously well said and now I finally think I can watch this sometime soon. Extremely insightful feedback. Very, very helpful.
