Eleison

Yeah, most of the good ones all happen around November/December cause award season is around the corner (that's my theory, anyway). :P The rest of the year is very hit and miss.

I love that's it's nuanced enough to be unclear, and able to be interpreted differently depending on your take. Good writing, right there! 😏

She also doesn't have the bangs and usually has lighter hair, too, I think. :)

I think there's still hope! :)

Hear, hear! Though, I would say that these dramas have unique plot points, but they would seem to be a weakness: the hokey premise of each. An alien, a mermaid (LOTBS), being carried off by a tornado in Korea... these sound dumb, but then the drama just sells the story completely. :) Loved your post!

I was thinking that, too! Not in a multi-stall bathroom! 🤦‍♀️

Did Good Bad Mother have that warning, I wonder?

Right. They had the whole last episode be about her leaving him so she could heal in the ocean, for a potentially indefinite period of time, and then he also apparently forgot her. Then they get back together right at the end and live happily ever after. 😅 I showed this drama to my sister a few months back and she was like, "What's up with the ending? The separation in this one was completely unnecessary." The drama was even longer than the typical 16 episodes, too!

But that might be her only drama with an actual happy ending? MLFAS implied that one day they'll be together permanently when he doesn't have to disappear to his alien world (wasn't my favorite ending), and then CLOY, of course, has them seeing each other two weeks out of every year... somehow she made that one work, haha, cause the ending scene is so cute. But in reality I wouldn't call it "happy."

Oh yes, for sure! I've always liked this screenwriter's characters, so I'm not worried. :)

I like these ideas! There's definitely something fishy about the illness that's for sure.

Yeah, so many puzzling elements! I guess we'll see what it ends up being. :)

But remember, he's just too cute! That's why she fell for him (especially when he's drunk)! 😉😂

I think it depends on the drama; I usually like one of the main leads sooner than this, but not always. I think it's enough to feel bad for them, rather than like them, but I get it. I probably wouldn't usually stick around either if I didn't like more characters, but I feel confident the characters will improve and there's a lot I'm still intrigued by!

Oh, well, it's called Cloud Cytoma and it doesn't exist, apparently. 🤷‍♀️ So yeah, easy to come up with a cure for a made-up illness, I suppose.:)

Also lost steam with Business Proposal and didn't like Run On much. 😂

It's also a made up illness, if that helps! :)

Yes, very possibly!

I think this is a common pitfall of most reunited lovers plots, and why I generally don't like them. I've felt the way you described feeling with this drama with other dramas (like in Our Beloved Summer and Welcome To Samdalri), but not with this one so far. There's too much interesting stuff going on in the present to keep me engaged. :) Honestly, my theory is they were never properly in love to begin with, just allowed themselves to run away with their emotions impulsively and then discovered who the other was after marriage and grew apart (which wasn't hard to do with their unhealthy family/work setup). So this might be their first time falling in love with the actual person rather than some idea of them. 💁‍♀️

No worries. :)

I don't think we're supposed to care about them together yet. Cause you're right, we have no reason to root for them yet. That's what the drama is gonna do. Get us to care about them as a couple. :)
