Admittedly I have a bias for Lee Sin Young, but shaming his character for not being willing to work overtime is really discomforting. Labour laws in SK are RIDICULOUS! 88 hours per week! WTF!?! No wonder the birthrate is in the -ve. Who has time?!?

Jay Chou has a cameo in this NOT a main role.

Oh and the representation of women as being envious and vengeful bytchez... I figure it's meant to be just the 'less pretty' ones who are, based on how the specific characters are presented, styling-wise. The 'pretty' characters are mostly played as sweet and innocent.
This show gets less palatable as you go on, because of all the stereotypes...

This is pretty watchable, but yez the twin thing is too much! And generally, a massive Aegyo warning

Eurkk the title here just makes me squirm. Please consider rewording it! "Rowoon's female lead" - makes it sound like he owns her. ". ..the female lead in Rowoon's upcoming drama..." might be an improvement.

There is A LOT of sexual predation that is presented in a low key, off hand way. The spiked drink situation is very up front BUT there is much also perpetrated by LuYu: Most women DO NOT like to be trapped or confined, as 'a move' by a man. In real life it's threatening and very often frightening.
Kissing someone when they are saying no, clearly NOT consenting, is assault. Justifying your actions by calling the woman hot and cold, trying to blame her for so called mixed signals, and presenting yourself as a confused romantic, makes you even more sinister.
If there were some action to directly address and resolve these behaviours, it would make this show almost groundbreaking. But sadly, it's presented as ignorant at best, and at worst, romantic

I agree with Shantiece below 👇 this would be better if the side couples were skipped

Ep 19 warning!

Woah! And Wow!
Thank you for posting

Thanks for correcting! The headline also presents as if he is definitely doing it, when he's only at the stage of considering the offer...bit of a dud article all around...

Not just happy, but truly satisfying. Slow moving but absolutely worth watching!

I'm starting to think he might be an undercover cop or something like, in this 😬 Another complex character with blurred morality. I love it!

There's heaps of other references too...Seungri means Victory - 'Victor'. This show is not exactly subtle 😂. But no need to be when you can lift your stories and their images, right off the news

Back for a rewatch. Already. Typically it takes at least 6 months for me to return to the very few shows I truly love. Seems I have a new go-to for my pick-me-up. It's still, just, lovely, second time around.

The FL is ethical, moral, seeks fairness for all.

If you mean ep 11-13, it's a reference to Burning Sun nightclub.

They do refer to him as a prodigy throughout. And such things are not unprecedented. Check out Mathematicians Terence Tao (famously corrected a maths lecturer at university, age 9) or Akshay Venkatesh. Skipping grades and even academic levels, can happen when you are genius enough to be evolving/discovering something new, in your field of study.

IMO he was the one of a few saving graces in My Room-mate is a Gumiho, and he was the rookie in that cast! AND Jang Ki-Yong is one of my biases!...
Point being, Bae in Hyuk IS GOOD! And paired with Lee Se Young! I expect A LOT from this show 😬 and will DEFINITELY be watching if I can get access.

ME TOO! (Sorry I shouted...)

For ease of location "Knowing Bros ep 359" translates on Netflix to "Men on A Mission S7:Ep.47" 2022-11-26.

Surprisingly good, in his small part in "Call It Love"
