Jun-ho : office worker with simple life super loving at first sight and pure hearted guy> CEO son whos cold sometimes…
The grumpy CEO male lead is a well worn stereotype and there's a long record of this kind of character in dramas. So if anyone finds Jun-ho bland, there are plenty of C, K and T dramas that are on offer that have deeply flawed male leads. But for me, I find Jun-ho a breath of fresh air because he knows how to ask questions and negotiate. He works at the relationship like an adult and not like a socially inept teenage bboy.
I dunno, ML is such a perfect fit for FL, so knowledgable and understanding of all her quirks, it feels he's out…
I think they do exist but I agree that they are rare. Often it takes a lifetime for a man to be this well-trained. :D However, we know that he has volunteered at a non-profit for people with disability so he has already got a set of skills that many people don't have. As for struggling with his feelings -- I think we've seen that to some degree in previous episodes. No doubt the show will explore some of the obstacles that they will face as a couple.
Perhaps it may be necessary for some that Jun-ho has a backstory but I personally don't need it because it adds to the unique charm of the story. I don't need every single drama that I watch to have a flawed male lead or a male lead that needs time to understand the female lead. I like variety and consistency.
To be honest the thing that dampens my enjoyment of the show is the birth secret and mother's machinations. That's the part that pulls me out of the show. It's annoying to me that every K drama feels the need to include makjang elements even when it's not needed. This is the part of the drama I find most inconsistent with the rest of it. Also, if there's no mother to contend with, I suspect we'll have more Jun-ho as well.
Jun-ho, I think is fairly unique in terms of drama male leads because he already comes almost fully equipped to be the male lead to Young-woo's female lead. The process of accommodation that these two exemplify is very pleasing to watch. There are certainly lessons for everyone in any kind of relationship.
It's certainly one of the best drama romances that I've ever seen because it largely stays clear of rom com cliches and does its own thing in its own time. So it should considering the subject matter.
"One of the greatest lies (and I choose my words deliberately) ever propagated in my lifetime is that everyone…
I don't think it's just the cocooning that's caused the Peter Pan phenomenon but also that despite living in seemingly peaceful times, rates of depression and suicide are at an all time high. The art of suffering has been lost in all of this.
I noticed that the emperor's appetite improved when Consort Yue went on her tirade. I feel like I've underestimated him somewhat. There is a ruthless side to him after all.
I'm rare person who not annoyed by YS, now when I rewatching it from first episode, its so oblivious he liked…
Regardless of whether he liked her from the beginning (and I agree that he did), he behaves like a first class idiot around her. Everything he says is calculated to get a rise out of her. He certainly gets her attention but not her affection. For a smart guy his strategy is counterproductive. He's doing this because he knows his opponent is a formidable one and he thinks that by embarrassing her he might scare her off.
It's obvious he knows nothing about wooing women because he hasn't had good models. His parents are hopeless and his mentor isn't much better either.

Thanks for reading!
I'm usually the one doing all the bargaining and chaffing.
Yes, I did enjoy the backhanded insult to Consort Ruyang.
