Yes, I loved Crash Course In Romance. FL and her husband were practically at war and about to divorce over their daughter. Then she lost her memory and so her husband wanted to go back to the way things were. Then he got killed. So they were still pretty rocky. I didn't expect a full blown romance but they time skipped so she could have at least started a relationship with the second lead. Far more unusual things have happened in this drama. A woman falling in love soon after her husband's death is somehow looked down upon whereas men remarry within weeks with the support of their family. Why don't women deserve the same support to move on and be happy with someone else?

Glad that Lee Je Hoon will be appearing in one more project. High expectations from the show.

Thanks! This is helpful. I'll see if it helps to speed run through it else I'll drop it. as I'm still short on time.

Flex X Cop - man was hiding behind some trees as he watched another man get beaten up. Ep 13 or 14.

Finally!!

Due to lack of time I had stopped after ep 4 but I'm seeing so many negative reviews. Is it worth continuing?

I am at the same point as you and I feel quite differently. CP likes the FL but he's not honest with himself. At first he's angry because he thinks she killed his father. But later he realizes that she's not the killer so that's why he's secretly happy and jealous at the thought that she likes Ak Hee. I am curious where they'd go with this plot although I'm also not sure if 10 episodes are needed to resolve the issue with the king out of the way. I am, however, intrigued at what kind of ruler the CP will make. And will he be able to make up for his terrible father.

Love Song For Illusion ep6

Yes but why should that be the only realistic aspect to the show? That's my point. 😋

Not sure if this drama can really be called "realistic" to begin with considering all the murdering, raping, and conveniently managing to get the bad guys by the end. If we can get a successful revenge at the end of such dramas, which doesn't happen in real life, we can get some happily ever after as well. 😊

Ah maybe.

Not sure why writers are afraid to give women with children a second chance at love. Doctor Cha teased a new love and so did My Happy Ending and both just skipped depicting that.

Started off good but lost track towards the end. Not a bad drama. But it could have been more.

The FL said that the painter got to do a better job this time. Did they know the artist? I felt like I missed something with that statement. Did they mean the artist as in God?

What was the significance of the paintings at the gallery?

Doctor Slump - grasshopper and ladybug in ep 5

Doctor Slump - there is a grasshopper on a blade of grass in ep 5.

I know a lot of people find the original better and in some ways it was good like the FL's family and her relationship with her brother. But she was split up with the ML for more episodes than they were together. And it dragged towards the end. I definitely think 41 episodes was overkill. It was tiring waiting for them to get back together unlike this Thai version. I'm actually glad they shortened it. The FL's brother was a hypocrite in the cdrama towards the end and it made me hate him. At least that aspect was subdued in this version. I'm glad they managed to cover the essence of the story in 16 episodes. I'm happy it was actually cut down. The time apart wasn't as bad. For the most part, I enjoyed it even though it's far from perfect.

Thanks!

Actually, I am implying that it WAS for the male gaze and to possibly attract western men who wouldn't otherwise touch a kdrama to watch. Even in Hollywood, I won't say that productions haven't forced female leads to expose more than they were comfortable with. Sharon Stone spoke about how she was coerced into removing her underwear for the Basic Instinct scene with the claims that her groin would be censored. That is why I never take such scenes at face value. Plus Korea doesn't have the strongest of laws to protect women in cases of rape, revenge porn, hidden cameras and the like. People want to talk about normalizing bodies but at whose expense? I'd rather not normalize such scenes if it means keeping more women safe tbh.
