Gone

I wonder if she learned something from being jailed 5 months or if she is still a criminal.

Unfortunately, I'm too familiar with kwriters writing. The Darim probably will not file that assault lawsuit but mama coming in for the majority shareholder and kicking dad out definitely will happen.

I agree with a lot of your points especially on how we didn't explore the female lead feelings as much as the male lead. I think that's one of the weaknesses of the show. Although if the show wrapped up well, we could have moved past it.

But I'll disagree on the intelligence. Because for me, it was the opposite. He was hyped up as someone who can turn a business into billion dollar deal but once he started working in the company, he barely lead the team. His role as a team leader felt so minor. On the hand, she is unemployed and never had a corporate job yet suddenly she was able to lead a small team of 3 and essentially, be the team leader. She was coming up with the ideas and pushes the plan forwards to get results. I would say the unrealistic part is how she was able to do that (speaking from experience LMAO) but I don't sweat the minor details. This is supposed to be a fun show after all.

I understand but it's mostly about the way she was acting in those scenes. I've been watching dramas religiously for more than 10 years, I can recognise anamazing actor, a good actor, and one who is good at certain roles but others not so much, unprepared actor and just bad actor. Esther is good at certain roles and others not، unfortunately. Of course, this is at her current stage. The more roles and challenges she takes, the more I'm confident her acting will be better.

I'm currently at ep 6 and it's more natural now. It's a massive improvement in comparison to the first 3.

LGIEF was her best role. I didn't care for her in LBADAF. I've seen her in My Journey to you as well, she is not suitable in that role despite the fact many people liked her there. A lot of people struggle to understand why I say that because they assume I'm saying she is bad. That's not what I usually mean because she was okay in that role but it doesn't show range. It's just very plain acting for me. Enough to pass the role but not to say it was great. The second female lead in that show is an contrast of what range looks like. She took that role and nailed it.

Yea, I'm looking at ep 6 now and things are definitely much better now, it feels more natural and I'm looking to completing it because I'm liking the direction.

I have no problem with her being cutesy. It's definitely in her brand to act cute and I'm okay with it as long as her character remains consistent. For me it's more important that I enjoy her as a character.

It's wasn't just her acting, something about the script feels a bit off. Kinda off fanfic or a young writer wrote it. Where I'm at, there is a lot of blank stares, no dialogue, jumps into the next scene. And because Esther Yu character is the one initiating a lot of the interactions, it just noticeable and lacks dynamic? It feels like she is acting and didn't get a hang of her role.

Okay, I'll keep going. Will let you guys know what I think once I'm a bit ahead.

Episode 11 was downright awful but 12 was okay, it was decent but the drop in quality was so jarring. You really describe it well because it genuinely was bad but when I rewatching with my family, I skipped the last 2 episode. I just felt nothing and didn't care about it anymore.

Have you seen the Bon Appetit? Don't want to spoil the ending because it was... Interesting one.

Currently on ep 3

I usually don't watch cdrama modern drama but I heard a lot of hype around this one and ermmm.... I'm trying to be as polite as I can be the acting isn't that great. I was really confused because Esther Yu was great in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy so seeing this took me aback. It was just bad but I'll continue watching. Maybe she is trying to get used to the role.

If he falls for her or not, people already dislike him regardless of his decision. If he fell for her, everyone will hate it because he rejected her for too long, it makes no sense to like her now. If he didn't like her, people still hate him because he gets too much screen time for nothing and she is a great character.

Omg this is such a old new. I think I remember reading about it. She was criticised by the public for her misbehavoir if I recall correctly and of course, that's deserved because she needed to get off her high horse!

And fake deaths to avoid consequences LMAO. Speaking of makjang, we haven't had a good one in a while. Need the Penthouse writer back on that script writing.

Final comment, I promise but wtf?? The father behaved so inappropriately. Like sir you are at work, not your house (not that he should do that at his house either). I was actually taken aback by what I was witnessing.

Add Head Over Heels. The fact you mentioned all shows that I've actually liked from this year, I would go and say could have been my best dramas of the year but I had to watch their disasterous ending lower my rating of them....

This is making me laugh because so true??? It was much more natural in the first two episodes but here??? Did the actors get too comfortable with each other that a kiss scene suddenly feels awkward because what was that?

No cause I'm getting annoyed. Like do you know how much BETTER it would have been if they developed the second couple instead of making this cringefest love triangle??? Like it would be something to look forward too for us too.

I was reading the comments and wdym there will be a break up next week?? Omg. Not the obligatory break up in these romcoms. We don't need them. There is only two episodes left, they should wrap the story up with a ribbon like a nice touch to this gift not giving us a break up.

Her mom falling in love with Seonu too LMAO I bet she wants him as her son in law now. Once she sees Jun, she would want to pamper him. Now why they had to ruin Seonu by making him in love with Darim??? Now he is getting too much hate. Because now it won't make sense to suddenly fall in love with Hayeong. Some writing decisions really annoys me because I know how much better it would be if he was just a single dad who is hesitant to get into a relationship because of his ex wife.

Yea, I kinda hated that she was scared to hurt him but at the same time, she said she didn't want to lose him so I gave him a pass. He should have already known that she liked the other guy and never bothered confessing

This drama is healing me from all of the crappy kdramas we got this year.
