Does this feel like BL bromance or just friendship?

But I found her super annoying to watch. She was a slightly toned down version of the mother-in-law of the eldest daughter in My Father Is Strange (couldn't stand her; she was SO awful 😭) who felt like a Mrs. Bennet from Pride and Prejudice but 10 times worse.

Yes, that's true, but after the first watch I didn't enjoy their plot, largely because there wasn't enough time to develop the ice queen into someone I really cared about, she was so clingy foe the ML, and then the 2ML died. That was the nail in the coffin for me. I also disliked the 2FL's mother, and it seemed the mother and daughter were always in scenes together which turned me off from the 2FL's scenes.

Interesting, I didn't care for them. I skip all the second leads' scenes on CLOY rewatches...

That did bother me about her other dramas; they were fantasies or fantasy-esque also, and she still didn't give them super happy endings (except Legend Of The Blue Sea). 😅 Does make me a BIT nervous...

It's all thanks Mr. Sunshine. After getting completed deflated by the ending of that one, I now am very, very careful with starting dramas unless I know the ending ahead of time. I'm breaking my process with this one; hopefully I won't regret it!

Thanks for checking! It's perfect timing for us west coasters. 😉 It would be hard to wait until the end of the day for it to post...

I'm so glad I didn't watch it! I know the end would have made me angry, too.

Haha, you're right. Forgot they were called something different. 😅 Thanks for doing that!

Though, to be fair, 2521 teased its ending from the start (that's why I jumped ship by the end of Episode 1; I smelled an ending that would frustrate me...). At least this is a made up illness! Hopefully that means they can come up with a just as fantastical cure. ☺️

If you're Pacific Standard Time, like me, then it should be up by 8:00/8:30amish.

If he was a gold digger, he wouldn't want a divorce, though; he could make bank if he stayed married to Hae In and then he could milk his situation (like the SML is trying to do by cozying up to Hae In and her family) for all he could get from the Queens corporation and Hong family. He only got into this cause he cares about Hae In, and he wants out because he thinks their love has died. His family (except his mom) want him to stay married to her because they want her money and the fame that comes with having her in the family, but not Hyun Woo. He's kind of "trying" for the will but doesn't really want it (I think); it ticks him off she left him out because that makes him feel like she doesn't care about him, and THAT annoys him.

KSH's acting felt more natural to me in IOTNBO than QOTs, but he was kind of a pushover in IOTNBO. I've loved him in everything I've seen him, though not his hair in My Love From A Star. 😅 That 2013/14ish style has not aged well, in my opinion. 😆

That's definitely true, haha. I just felt like the FL in IOTNBO sometimes felt like an insistent, bossy child rather than an adult woman. She definitely had some cool moments, though, and she grew on me as the series progressed.

I know a lot of people did. She's definitely unique among Kdrama female leads, and in that sense she felt like a breath of fresh air. But I think someone being in an actual relationship with someone like her would be a LOT of work cause she's so unpredictable and volatile. Not nearly as romantic as they portray it. 😏

Yeah, I enjoyed it more once the FL toned down later on. She was a little much for me in the first half. Thought the actress did great, just didn't always care for the character at first. She was really intense.

We're all hoping it won't end sadly. :) 🫣

Good eye. :) Though I don't remember any black comedy in CLOY?

This is the drama I've rewatched the most out of any drama I've seen. Maybe 5 five times now? 😂 2016 is a famous year but 2017 was actually a really good year, too, just fewer "blockbuster" level famed hits. There have been good dramas in recent years, they're just more hit and miss. Production quality has skyrocketed, but it's a bummer the writing hasn't improved with it.

Is it possible the rest of the family didn't know about the miscarriage? Probably not, since they showed him decorating the baby room, but it does feel extremely thoughtless and insensitive of her family to bring up having a baby like that, if so. If anything, it shows why Hyun Woo got so worked up about it with Hae In in Episode 1. Now that we know they lost a baby we can totally understand why he was so horrified and upset by the way they were talking about having another baby and what they'd do with it.
