doesn’t anyone think that little girl is the journalists daughter ? (the man with his glasses i forgot his name)…
Can single men adopt in Korea? 😂 I got the impression he adopted her because he's a bleeding heart and is always trying to help people. He was also avoiding the question about his past so I wondered if he was adopted as well and so why he adopted the little girl? 🤷♀️ Just a few theories based on the little we know so far, haha. (And of course if single men can't adopt that puts an end to this theory. 😅)
Why does the "Original Creator" for this (does that mean he's a webtoon author this is adapted from?) have Alchemy of Souls listed on his profile? I thought the Hong sisters wrote Alchemy of Souls? Confused...
I wonder if this is because they're trying to replicate an "American" company without much context and real experience…
Yes, kids get beaten to a pulp with blood all over the place IN A CLASSROOM with adults looking on was almost laughable. I know bullying happens and that's realistic, but the blood everywhere... and it was just a "normal" school, too. 😅 It was ridiculous.

True! Media does do a lot of dress up and for the average person who doesn't have experience of the thing, it works. For instance, I couldn't really get into Weak Hero Class 1 because I work in education, and the portrayal of school/bullying violence was so outlandishly unrealistic it just felt like a fake world that was completely made up and divorced from reality. I mean, BOFs is one level of unrealistic high school portrayal, but that drama was another. I just couldn't buy it.
And yes, the struggles with English in Episode 4 didn't help. 😂
That whole scenario was so ridiculous from a professional standpoint! One of my main issues with the show is it…
I can see what you mean about the slice of life and rom-com tension, but to me it's not that jarring. I think it's cozy, and I'm enjoying it way more than Welcome To Samdalri. HCCC had its flaws, but it was still very cozy (again, haha), too, and sweet.
So far, this drama is fine but has those occasional cringey/bad scenes that just turn me off. At first, it was…
I wonder if this is because they're trying to replicate an "American" company without much context and real experience or exposure so they're just not sticking the landing on realism in the representation here. But I just expect that sort of thing in Kdramas. They have yet to peg America or Americans in any drama I've seen. 😂
(And hey, she mentioned attending UC Berkeley instead of Stanford or Harvard--they're branching out with their Ivy League name dropping! 😂)
But I know American media does the exact same thing trying to represent other countries or people from other countries, too, so, touché, I suppose!
I am an English speaker. English is my first language.But the obsession English speakers have with slamming a…
I'm not sure which posters you're referring to, but I'll admit it's just distracting when English is spoken poorly when you're fluent and can tell (just as I'm sure it is for someone hearing a different language spoken in a British or American show and butchered there, too).
It is just a bit annoying when the people speaking are supposed to be "good" at English, though. The scene feels forced when characters are supposed to be good at something but aren't. I get why Kdramas struggle to get good English-speaking nonKorean actors and also why Koreans speaking English in Kdramas is often quite bad, and I'm sure everyone is doing their best with the training and resources at their disposal. But that doesn't change the fact that it messes with your immersion into the story.
But I don't let it affect my experience overall, because I've learned to expect it; I just cringe and move on. 😅 It's become one of the endearing elements of Kdramas for me at this point.
Considering that her ex cheated on her, I don't think a love triangle is viable, but some writers go out of their…
It's just because Kdramas always have 2MLs, and 2MLs are usually incorporated as a foil to the ML and FL's relationship. It's such a staple part of the "drama" of most romantic K"dramas."
Nah when she held him in a chokehold i lost my shit goddame 😂😂, this drama is giving fight for my way vibes…
Do you think the chemistry is on par? Park Seo Joon just beautifully nailed the zaney, slightly dim, best bud. I suppose it's actually hard to compare since the characters are quite different. 🤷♀️ But I totally still get the comparison. ☺️
I adore Jung So Min and intrigued by Jung Hae In (my first look at him) but the stellar cast of parents (not to…
It's very long, and it took me months to watch because everyone is so unlikeable at the beginning (like all weekenders), but the last third is so good. Loved the ending and last few episodes. Very good drama!
The very end of Season 1 got a bit over-the-top, though. Hopefully Season 2 would pull the stakes back down a bit.
And yes, the struggles with English in Episode 4 didn't help. 😂

I'm curious, what determines "good writing" for you when it comes to a Kdrama specifically?
