You described perfectly why women are whining about men all day long. They always choose the more handsome, cool…
You literally proved my point by saying: "ML in this drama simply isnβt written as a good romantic lead for the female gaze."
Do you watch Kdramas for the visuals or the story? And yes, a lot of women chose "handsome playboys," and when their relationship fails, they say all men are pieces of shit.
You know why people loved "Love Scout"? Because the ML was a green forest and an amazing dad too. Now, imagine if this ML would be just as handsome; no one would say a bad word about him. That's a fact. There's literally no difference between the two of them other than this ML is introverted as hell.
No, I'm not wrong about the SML. The guy literally forced FL on their first date to pay the whole bill. Ignored her all day till she finally asked the first question about his work, because that was all she knew about him, then proceed to trash her because of that. Even though he lied because he wasn't even the real guy. Then, on their first date, he wanted to sleep with her while still not telling her the truth about him. That's already a massive red flag. In the next episode, he was acting like FL was his property and fought some dude she was on a date with. Yes, that dude was a piece of shit too, but he doesn't have any right to make a scene and embarass her. That's another red flag. And now, he's acting all cool and saying things like "I kissed like 100 women" as if it's totally okay. Even if he were lying, that's not how a real man should act. Not to mention he's always trashing ML and he's cocky as well.
If he's not a good-looking guy, everyone would scream "red flag." That's another fact.
FL and SML are forced as hell because it's clear FL is more attracted to ML, but SML always shows up somewhere, and funnily enough, he always has a job close to her. Please tell me, how many times did SML ask her out or try to call? They just randomly meet somewhere. That's not "attentive" or "present." Also, he's flirting with other women too. We literally saw him do it at his own workplace.
ML is not boring you just don't know how a real man looks. Like I said, he's an introvert, but that doesn't make him boring. Most romantic relationships start with awkwardness that's how real relationships work. Not how SML does it. That's not real love, that's just "let's hook up for one night."
I don't identify with anyone, but at least I'm not a hypocrite like you who only cares about the visuals and other meaningless things.
I don't care who you like, but it's obvious you've never dated a real man, and just like most Kdrama fans, you're only paying attention to pretty boys, and everyone else is "boring."
I seriously hate that intern. She is such a nuisance. Bitch spoils everything. She couldβve accepted that beverages.…
You're not very smart, are you? Imagine blaming the girl when her senior, that idiot woman messed up everything and the girl had to take the blame, and now you're blaming her because an obsessed, disgusting piece of shit guy can't stop hitting on her and spilled the coffee? Insane.
You know what? The first 5 episodes were pretty good, and now it's fun, and I wanted to talk about EP5 more because there were some interesting parts, but the 10 year old girls in the comments are more annoying than that idiot lawyer guy.
I'm happy this drama was made, even if I won't like it till the end. I'm thankful for this drama, because it shows the hypocrisy of most female Kdrama fans.
Barely anyone is talking about the story, most of you are moaning about why FL should pick 2ML.
At least look in the mirror and be honest. You don't care about the story or their personalities, you just want the pretty guy to win because he's better looking and cool. You're just like those 3 dumbass girls at the coffee shop where he's working.
It's honestly sad how this drama proved, after 5 episodes, why so many women lack brain cells when it comes to romantic relationships. It really does show how shallow some people are.
I'm not annoyed with the love triangle, honestly, because so far it's done right, but the way people can't understand any of these characters, not just the guys, is mindboggling.
If you say this about the FL, ML and 2ML, you don't have any right to talk about the writing or the characters:
FL: boring, cringe, childish ML: boring, looks like a p-rn addict, not manly enough SML: handsome, cute, caring, fun, etc
I hope she's gonna end up with ML so I can see them all crying. π
The ML is the βideal boring, safe choice on paper,β but he doesnβt actually match the FL emotionally. Heβs…
You described perfectly why women are whining about men all day long. They always choose the more handsome, cool and spontaneous guy and then when he gets bored with them or cheats on them they blame the guy. π
FL is not a teen girl anymore, she doesn't need a playboy in her life, she needs a safe space, a guy who she can rely on, and that's not SML.
Also, ML literally went to that idiot lawyer guy to confront him. You must be too young to understand what a real man looks like. Real life is not a Kdrama. A real man doesn't show off his "masculinity" to a woman like SML does. Not to mention, the guy doesn't bring out her real personality, she's just enjoying the moment that won't last long anyway.
I'm sorry to say this, but no women or men deserve to be in a serious and healthy relationship if they call someone boring just because they're reliable and all they want is a Disney prince.
It's kind of sad that even as a woman you don't know what makes a woman feel safe.
Let's just say how it is. Most of you only pick the SML because he's more handsome than the ML. At least you shouldn't lie and talk about personalities.
As for the writing, there's nothing wrong with it and chemistry has nothing to do with the writing either, and you don't have to root for anyone.
thats not realistic for most people tho... most people date more than one person before they settle down. and…
I get that, I've had multiple relationships as well, but I don't see the point in doing a 3 seasons about 3 guys. The 1st season was kinda fresh with all those animated inner worlds but in the 2nd season it was repetetive. Not to mention ML was hella irritating and poorly written and Yumi herself wasn't likable anymore.
I think the whole story could've been fit in 20 episodes at max.
Glad someone else is wondering how that math works. I cant understand how I can read a comment that trashes the…
I gave it 3/10 because the ML was good and Wooju is cute but I feel like if I rate this 6/10, all the decent 6/10 dramas I've watched should be at least 8/10. π
As for other people, I think it's just usual "I don't want to rate it too low because I like the actors and they worked hard."
My standard was always much higher than most people's but after watching "Tangerines" it got even higher, especially when it comes to stories about parenting and love.π
How can you say you're disappointed in 2026 and rated this mess 8/10?π Miss Hong, Can This Love be Translated,…
2026 is definitely not the new 2016. Let's just say it's a decent start, but as you can see in my list I haven't watched a lot of dramas released in 2026 yet. My watchlist is all over the place because I watch things based on my mood.
"Fyi I have yet to watch the "great dramas" you've mentioned."
"Miss Hong" is really good but it's more for adults and because of the time period and story I wouldn't say it's "viewer friendly". Not sure if this is the best word to describe it. I think it's going to be underrated.
Looks like you liked CTLBT.
As for "Spring Fever" it is a really fun madness but well-written. It's a typical feelgood comedy.
"Art of Sarah" is a properly written drama too, the only problem is the police work. As usual the police are dumb as hell, but the core message of the story is spot on.
BTW, how on Earth did you watch so many shows in 10 years? Are you sleeping?π I've been watching shows for 20 years and I'm way behind you. To be fair I watch a lot of other things not just Asian dramas.
Your watchlist is also kind of messy. My anime watchlist looked similar back in the day when I added everything and got bored and didn't remove 90% of the things I didn't even watch. π
Well, after reading peoples opinions about it, it seems like they skipped like 75% of the drama and rated according…
I mean, I'm not gonna lie, I skipped almost 90% of the scenes with SML and even some others, but that doesn't mean the rest was amazing. Also, if you skip scenes it means it doesn't deserve better than a 6/10.
This is the first time I skipped scenes in a show, because 99% of the time, I would've dropped this after EP4. I was so angry I wanted to see how it could get worse. It was like a "guilty pleasure" but without the pleasure.π
If you ask ChatGPT to write you a Kdrama it's gonna be just as wellmade as the poop in Wooju's diaper.
The only difference is you can get rid of the bad smell by throwing out the diaper, but you can never forget the shit the so called creators made you go through.
This doesn't deserve more than 3/10 and only because Wooju is cute.
