Am I perhaps mistaken, is the millionaire's assistant or housekeeper Seung Hui's mother? They look very similar.

I don't live in South Korea, so my information might not be 100% accurate. In Korea, Samsung and LG offer support services at official stores where, if you own the phone and verify your identity, they can locate or block it. However, you need a police report before they can do so, which is why the salesperson asked about the police. The stores also help you use "SmartThings Find" if you have an account, which I believe is what they did—activating location tracking because the man is elderly and doesn't know how to use mobile apps. He also explained this to the investigating officer earlier. Sometimes, to move the plot along, they "skip" some legal steps and even time to avoid making the drama tedious. What caught my attention was that the store was promoting the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra...

Anyway, someone wrote to you that "You look better when you're quiet." Hahahaha. I've given up on finding out anything interesting about the dramas on this site and I just read the comments to have a laugh. Seriously, I can't, hahaha. Supposedly it started with having respect for men's feelings... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I imagine Ji Chang Wook and Kim You Jung recreating the Pulp Fiction dance scene one more time... when they both realize they're dominating forum comments and ratings for the dramas they're currently starring in. By the way, this site is crazy with drama ratings. I think it's best to use your own judgment and just enjoy.

What you suggested was much better.

It's a pleasant and easy-to-watch drama if you enjoy this genre. The ending was good; I liked it. The music wasn't the best part of the drama for me, and some of the sets weren't great either—that's what I'd say if I had to offer any criticism. The screen time for the secondary characters was also...a little overwhelming, but not a major issue. Perhaps it was because I was a bit tired by episode 40; if the princess and Han Mei had kept talking, I would have jumped into the drama myself and thrown them off the mountain...it was just too much for me. But I insist, I was very tired from work, so that might be the reason.

Ok, the drama is fantastic, I love it. Lots of action and adrenaline. 😎 To be honest, I'm totally biased towards JCW... even if he were competing in the wheelchair category, I'd still say the action and entertainment are top-notch. 🤭

The topic of age would be a long and exhausting one to discuss. Women in the entertainment industry suffer intensely from age discrimination and are conditioned by many factors. One of those factors is that no sponsor of anything, cosmetics or mattresses, for that matter, wants to see their products associated with women's wrinkles or expression lines. "Decadence," "neglect," "obsolescence," among many other things, are what they think wrinkles represent. So we notice the lack of expression in "older" women in most productions, and they specialize in mastering their gaze to reflect their acting, something Joe Chen does magnificently. This lead actress in "Fated to Love You" is wonderful. Victoria Song has a restrained and elegant style, yet she seems inexperienced (I don't think so) or perhaps she wasn't being directed well during filming, and her gaze seems to drift off into space. I'm no expert, but... for a slow-paced drama, the sudden, rapid cuts between shots filmed at different times (different lighting, different focal points) disrupt the visual continuity: the relative gaze no longer matches. Anyway, all this rambling is to say that the actors filmed some, or almost all, of the scenes separately and then edited them together. 😂 For now, I'll continue watching this story.

You have to keep in mind that the drama isn't about a grieving woman; it's a critique of Korean society. It's true that she suffered greatly, but the drama doesn't seek to justify her actions. Instead, it aims to help us understand how such a violent and competitive society can transform pain into callousness. She isn't merely surviving; she's repeating the cruelty that shaped her. She isn't surviving in the literal sense; she's adapting... And that's precisely what the drama denounces: success without empathy is akin to madness.

You're right about her acting, and I'm not expert enough to pinpoint the problem... whether it's the direction, her poor performance in the scenes with the ML, or if she's just as uncomfortable with the sets as I am. The sunset scene was exactly as you described, the fall off the cliff into a small pool of water surrounded by plastic plants from AliExpress and so many flowers impossible to find in the forest, recreating a romantic confession scene... Or perhaps it's the script's theme: marrying a dead man to become a widow and having to divorce the entire family because she's in love with her younger brother-in-law... I'd probably act with a blank stare too, just to avoid rolling my eyes. 🙄

In short, a tragic and dark drama that follows the actions of a sociopathic woman—that's all there is to it. There's no character development, nor will there be in the upcoming episodes; we'll only see how she acquires power to continue doing the only thing she knows or can do, but on a larger scale, obviously. Do you enjoy watching a human being do harm because they can't distinguish between right and wrong? This drama is for you. Do you like a drama without redemption, consequences, etc.? This drama is for you. The cast and cinematography are excellent, and the production is ambitious; they've poured everything into this project. It's worth watching if you want to see this kind of genre, if you're not wasting time waiting for something that's not going to happen and criticizing why this or that didn't happen. The original story is a critique of Korean society and the entertainment industry. As an aside, the casting director said, "Anyone with the last name Kim, come with me."

Three concepts: bandwagon effect, groupthink, and social conformity...you can't go against that. LOL.

Seeing the male lead with a Chupa-Chups has definitely made me want to watch this drama.

I haven’t watched many dramas. I like romantic comedies, and I was watching Would You Marry Me?, but it felt like something was missing. I saw A King of Land recommended, and when I checked Choi Woo Shik’s profile, Ho Goo’s Love sounded interesting. Someone said it’s a bit misleading because it looks light and funny, but actually deals with serious topics. I’m going to start watching it.

The drama boasts a high-quality production: excellent visuals, thoughtful setting... The chemistry between the leads, Lee Jun-ho and Im Yoon-ah, is one of its strong points. It's ideal as an escapist drama: if you're looking for something light, friendly, without excessive darkness, this delivers. There are also sympathetic moments from the supporting characters. What to keep in mind? The script isn't particularly innovative. Some subplots are underdeveloped or feel superfluous. The pacing can slack towards the end: the feeling that conflicts are resolved quickly, without much depth. If you're looking for a romantic drama with strong weight, deep conflicts, or narrative innovation, it might feel a bit light, and this isn't for you. It's worth it if you're looking for a beautiful, visually appealing romantic comedy with good leads, and you don't mind if it doesn't revolutionize the genre. 7 out of 10, this will be an 8 or + for those who enjoy something light and a 6 or - for those looking for depth.

Exactly.

The drunken scene is sooooo bad. He finishes going down the stairs, gets to his car and she's already awake, she heated water, spilled some food and called the receptionist for help because she burned her foot... Just to mention one of the many poorly written scenes there are. You have to repeat this is good, this is good, this is good and even resort to hypnosis and repeat that it's good and keep the drama going. There are two good actors and I love them, this is good, this is good... I'm not seeing anything wrong with the drama, this is good and convince yourself that you're watching the best rom-com of the year. This technique is foolproof, it's the one FLs use to date an idiot for years in every drama until they meet the right man.

😔

Are you unhappy with your fate, obligations, duties, injustices, rules, or do you see others suffering and want to kill? Well, go ahead and kill. There comes a time when you sympathize with the murderers (that speaks well of the drama's writing) until you look back and see how many innocent people they sacrificed to achieve their goal. A goal they didn't achieve... If a drama keeps you wanting to watch the next episode, is it bad? Obviously not, it's very good and that means it's well done. The leads are solid, coherent, "The Killer God of Susha" stole my heart, and I wish I was as strong as Yi Xiao. If I had to mention a flaw, I would say the princess... Why did she bother me so much? It must be a reflection of some flaw in me. Feng Sui Ge's words when they reunite are so precious... We all deserve to hear something like that from our loved ones and also to be able to say them back. 🥰
