i think their individual characters are getting good writing, but we're running out of time for them to come together and make a well rounded couple. they definitely won't be getting married 😂

we're already done with two thirds of the show, yet the secondary leads have had only one conversation that didn't centre on the SFL liking the ML. at this point, no amount of writing or chemistry gonna convince me that their relationship isn't an unnecessary afterthought. the villain plot is stealing their time.

i lobe the way you put it "the audience's self insert who does nothing lest she remind them they're not actually her"😂 thats so accurate.

thank you for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them out.

i keep saying it. it's like she only "likes him" cos he said he likes her. I haven't seen any reciprocation.

okay, that's funny 😂. i guess we can agree to disagree. there's probably people out there like the ones youve described. but i believe there are also people like me🤷

i wish i remembered saying i dont like the show. oh well, i always suspected i was speaking to a moron who couldn't grasp the concept of criticizing certain aspects of a thing while still liking it as a whole. use your energy however you like. I'll be in the comments of MDL and there's nothing you can do about it but whine😂

most of the time, when I criticize a show, I probably dont event think it's trash. there may just be a certain aspect of it that deserves criticism. just cos i dont like a particular character or plotline doesn't mean I hate the whole show. so I continue to watch because there are other aspects I find enjoyable, and I think that's the same for most people.

sorry, but if you can't read critical comments without getting mad and trying to curtail other people's speech, what are you doing on this app? not everyone will share your view but we're all allowed to make our opinions heard, as long as we're not forcing it on anyone. If you want an app that allows only positive comments, go make one.

it really pissed me off that no one mentioned it. they're all better people than me, cos I would've blamed him instantly

I'll watch it if I want and comment about it if I want. Learn to live with that, loser😂

its not about how quickly they fell in love. its about how, realistically speaking, the FL should be skeptical about love and relationships after what she's just recently been through with her ex. no one heals that quickly, unless she didn't learn anything from that experience.

kdramas are obsessed with drunkenness. how does a grown woman who knows she's probably a lightweight not watch her alcohol intak especially when at such events. they pull out the drunkenness card everytime they want the guy to take the girl home in order to advance their relationship and the plot. it's tacky and overused.

i dont think more time would've been the solution. they writers are clearly not interested in delving into anything deep. the show wants to keep everything as light-hearted and on the surface as possible. but they really didn't need to go too deep to show how betrayal makes it hard to trust.

that's a world class pivot, and you conveniently avoided addressing the very valid concerns i raised in my comment. i DO watch the show, and my criticisms stems from my personal perception of art, perceptions which I've never forced on anybody.

I'm still trying to understand how, when, and why he fell in love with her. the only explanation I have is the childhood connection

there's a lot of comments about people saying "oh it's just a romcom" and "why are you criticizing it for being what it is", "why were you expecting something special"

so because it's a romcom means we should be complacent with it's mediocrity? where did this mindset that romcoms are meant to be bland and repetitive stem from? lots of romcoms out there are unique and original. it doesn't even have to be original, but just try to take the story to a new, fresh place, even if the premise is based on a trope like this one is. but this show is NOT trying at all. being a romcom is no excuse for being bad. I'm not saying it's bad, but you're trying to act like romcoms have a right to be bad just cos they're romcoms. honestly, it's painting a bad picture of the genre.

I'd like to see more of the Pyo kid. So far, he's just been this annoying brat standing as a foil to the ML. But episode 7 showed that there may be more to him. It's clear that his hatred for Tae Poong stems from an inferiority complex that's fueled by his own father. Plus, he's desperate to please his dad and prove himself worthy. i wouldn't mind going deeper into his character and his relationship with his father.

i feel like after your ex boyfriend of five years cheated on you, there should be some sort of residual, I don't know if the word trauma is too heavy for this, but it should be hard for you to get into a relationship with someone else. Trust and security should not have come so easily to her. He told her about his feelings and all she could think about was money, instead of considering whether she's ready to give her heart to someone else soon. Sure, the ML is a great guy, but I pretty sure her ex was acting like a great guy too when they were together. that sort of experience stays with you and affects your future relationships. I know the show and characters are shallow, but the fact that she's just fine and ready to fall in love again is one of the most unrealistic things about this show.

in my opinion, the childhood connection was a big mistake. I'm still convinced that he only fell in love with her because of it. and how did she fall for him??? it's like she only likes him cos he said he likes her. can someone please recommend a romance that actually shows two people falling in love gradually.
