Goo Sera and Seo Gong Myung is easily the #1. They're the definition of natural romance progression. Like there's nothing grand about them, they just "happen".

Gang Doo and Ha Moon Soo from Just Between Lovers are another quiet couple. They just have such a natural progression from stranger to friends to lover.

Sameee. I'm a big fan of the cast as well. Both Liu Haoran and Peng Yu Chang are two of the finest Chines actors of their gen, esp the former who's IMO the best actor of his gen.

Yep it is.

It has aged terribly. Even people who liked it back then don't like it anymore.

Interesting. I've seen many of these but I'd rate these ones higher than most of them:

1. Just Between Lovers
2. With You
3. Coffee or Tea (Sorry, I'm just obsessed with Liu Haoran as I think he's one of a kind talent!)

The ones I've seen (Nabi, My Step Darling, Prom Pissawat etc.) are defi slap kiss though. The amount of manhandling in them, if I got a penny for everytime the ML dragged the FL by her wrist in Nabi, I'd be a millionaire. lol

The ML being short is the characterisation. He's known for his short stature even in the manga.

It's indeed super adrenaline inducing. The racket sports in general (I play Badminton. TT and Tennis) are super fun to watch and play. TT esp is so technical, and so fast, it's super difficult. But Badminton is more robust than TT.

Yong Tae's grip makes me LOL XD It's such a bad grip. Yes that's what I mean. Badminton here isn't as good as actual sport, it's just a means to tell story. Like real badminton would never work like that lol most smashes in actual matches are mostly weapons to create openings to get a win or force errors. And most points are won via drives, dribbles and errors.

Is this gonna be like Because of You where one of them talk in Korean while the other speaks Thai??

Kim Yong Dae is confirmed then? YESSS

Kang Hana pls. Looks, charisma and the acting chops.

30mins, Mon-Friday airing. That's why. It's a makjang, don't watch if you hate idiotic characters, over the top drama and horrible characters.

Real badminton matches are far more exciting than shown on this show. If you play it you'd understand. The show actually doesn't do a very good job of portraying the sport tbh There's barely any focus given on actual playing in this and when they do play, it gets over so quick and usually in a jumping smash. In real matches it's very difficult to win points with jump smashes. Spinning net shots, clears, drives, drop shots, etc. are far more strategic and common. The quick decision making and pressure play during rallies is one of the most exciting part of badminton and the show completely ignores it (the only time they really showed it was during the Hansol v Nara match in the recent episode and even then it was only a small glimpse).

I cannot believe Lee Yong Dae actually made a cameo. That was a surprise.

Then you justified it right after with "But for most of human history, consent is not the requirement for sex, much less love or marriage" right after that. So don't contradict yourself if you don't want your comments to be misconstrued. Calling r*pe problematic and then saying history justifies it is being contradictory.

Sure, your grandmother fell in love, but it doesn't make what your grandfather did right. And like I said, history exists so we can learn and avoid making the same mistake. Ask yourself, would you be alright if you got forced into a marriage as a minor and then got sexually assaulted?

Very disappointed in this. The talented cast is entirely wasted here. I expected a dark, mature story that explored Asian shamanism and instead got... yeah. :/

Just because something was done in history doesn't mean it was right. History exists so we can learn and do better, not because we can repeat the same mistakes. Also both your grandparents were minors when they got married and possibly by their own will. It's a completely different situation than someone literally r*ping someone else without their consent. The fact that you people are defending r*pe here, might as well as come out and say that r*pe isn't a big deal and isn't a crime. Absolutely horrific chain of thoughts.

Yep, that's when it started going downhill imo The final two seasons was esp disappointing imo I won't spoil though on why, but it felt very random to say the least.

Haha, it actually only started getting worse when a core cast member was fired from the show after he had an altercation with the director (or a writer, I forgot lol). Which was around S12 or something IIRC.

I understand. I'd prolly be cautious of starting a show with over hundred episodes as well. Thankfully, I was a frequent watcher of CM so I was able to follow the show over the years, season by season. So I didn't have to binge them or had to keep up with them.

NP! It was a very well written article and I liked it because I agree with it!
