Ah the BL role could explain why SML is so super thin. Male gay in the USA love to be super thin, their idea of "thin" is a lot thinner than the straight idea of "thin." Probably that is the global male gay taste.

I have a desire to see the SML actor EAT. His eyes are popping like he has thyroid issues too. I want him to have 20 lbs more of sheer muscle

Well they are similar and also there is a contrast - for both pairs...
BH is a lot smarter than JM :) and kinder and more giving and more pushy.... so imo they match. He is her Rock of Gibraltar, that stable dependable guy who is her worst critic and someone to get her off her lazy insecure know-it-all play-it-safe dont-make-a-move bum. Imo he is PERFECT for her. She is not a flashy woman and he will appreciate regardless, she will be his princess, always, and that will be very good for her, gives her security. The two of them will have jobs that are stable and "core"... They will be stable family people and lead a very family life with lots of time at home and with family. No big business outgoings and travels and huge business plans and stuff like that. More like "9-5, come home take the kids to the park and the science museum" kind of family. . I think going to the science museum will be the most adventuresome thing they will ever do LOL this pair is soooo not adventuresome at all.... They are NOT the flying kind LOL They are "play it safe and stay cozy and homey kind." Naturally, I expect them to have like 10 kids...
But.. I expect JM to have some travel time after her mother dies... JM deserves it.... If that happens before the kids, then JM might disappear (with BH, or him visiting a lot) abroad to have a cooking class - the dorm-class turnkey prearranged prepaid deal - and then she and BH travel together a little bit to some nice easy romantic places... JM cannot travel alone :) ANd if her mom dies after they have kids, then I can see BH and JM taking all the kids on some fun family trips... I think they might just rent a camper and drive to all nice places in Korea and nearby ..... I think they are a PERFECT family for that... they are gonna look like Five Enough :) or maybe two of them disappearing for a very short time like a week somewhere nice and special if the kids are big already...

I also think Jun Ho and SR match... Those two ARE an adventuresome pair, and thrive only on challenges... where she provides the stability and love that he needs to fly even higher. Both are actually very crazy risk takers and big planners... both go for the highest and most difficult goals... and love the hard climb and the winning.... **** He took the challenge of turning the worst resaurant and she took the challenge of seducing a piece of cement. ***** ... This pair NEVER gets scared or discouraged LOL once they want something lol
and he is cement cold mean and she is very expressive and loving yet super selish and mean and self centered too LOL and wont let him go overboard LOL he cannot escape her unless he gives - nobody would have melted him down but her, with her brazen chasing him.
JH gave only when SR pulled back LOL
And she will take him even as HJ's son since she was her "mother" for all those years so she won't feel offended.
Imo they will be the PERFECT pair to be the owners of the Dream Group and try out all the crazy business moves to get the hotel etc to be #1, they will have all the ideas and the drive to make it happen, they are both VISIONARIES WITH BIG IDEAS, and they can handle all the dinners and receptions and shmoozing and travel and NEW STUFF they try, etc. Like redecorating the hotel into a tropical theme or all glitter gold or silvery snow or Las Vegas... Well I am sure they will not be THAT crazy they are not hippies LOL but they are gonna do some innovative and classy stuff that will be super memorable and left as a business legacy - bc both of them are very creative and like creating success.... I am sure they are gonna make SOMETHING out of that hotel and make it one of the top hotels!!! with something stunning and out of ordinary - stunning service, stunning Italian tile and marble walls, stunning... whatever... and whatever else Dream Group has.. They will be great as business owners with big dreams and big accomplishments and having fun with it. They are gonna have 1 kid, if any. Maaaaaaybe 2 but I doubt it
This is a jet setter glam and glitz and showoff family

I love colors and fashion, BUT .... Albert looks the most absolutely STUNNING gorgeous in a plain gray suit with white shirt and black (or super dark dark green?) tie. Wow he looks beautiful! Wow.

Mr. Lee too is getting increasingly handsome, his new hairstyle is even better. I am waiting for some nicer clothes there to pop up his beauty too.

Nora and her mom are the best dressed. I love mom's red pantsuit and violet high heels

Hello. Song is a CRIMINAL

LOL you nailed it so funny and true

I knew that his criminal activities take precedence over his heart LOL

Well.... clearly she and mechanic are one gang working to swindle... and she is after as much as she can get... she manages slush fund.. she could disappear with it... she could inherit it... etc etc etc SHE IS CRIMINAL

Bok Hee is an *amazing* complex character and that actress is OUTSTANDING in that role, with such minute details and PERFECT acting. RESPECT!

JM is a total moron. Leaving flowers not thinking of the camera???? And never even thinking that SR is laying there all on her own and the mercy of people coming in and out and MURDERING HER

JM needs to tell BH and make him help her -bc JM clearly has NO IDEA what is impoirtant and what isnt!!!! and what are th things she should do!!!!!!!! JM IS A TOTAL MORON, TOTALLY INCAPABLE OF PULLING THIS REVENGE, IT IS LIKE ASKING HER TO CALCULATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT...

but BH is so dumb and JM is so dumb, between the two of them, there are even HIGHER chances of getting caught...

I think JM needs BH's help - and eventually JH's help. Seems like the drama will make BF get into Dream Hotel and watch JH chase "SR" and BH will suffer, until our verysmart and capable Jang Mi gets ONE brain groove working and ask him to help her.

The issue is Jun Ho, who fell in love with "Seo Rim" finally bc she is not chasing him lol so now he is sure he is missing her chasing him. I knew it, I saw it back then - and ppl told me to shut up bc JH just tolerates SR... heck no. He got used to her chasing him and kissing his a## and he was just playing hard to get. He liked her LONG TIME AGO, when he called police to kick her out of her office and she left without kissing his as@ as usual - he was missing her kissing his as#...... and he is mean AND wounded. so he associates love with violence, so he plays mean to her instead of making her a friend.

Anyways, finally JH actor is awake LOL it took a woman to shake him into acting alive LOL and I am aftraid JH is gonna wanna marry "Seo Rim" and be super mean about it.

Jun Ho is not mildly intrigued. He HAS BEEN hooked on bait hook and sinker

yeeeees please..... :( :( :( :( and now Jun Ho is in love with "Seo Rim" so he is gonna push to marry her and make everything difficult... he is mean...
and Real Seo Rim is just laying there in that "metro station" where all kinds of people are just trampling her room and all over her body!!!! THEY ARE GONNA KILL HER! and stupid Jang Mi did not even take care of that... !!!! what a DUMB MORON

Nah... BH and JM are soulmates, both are quite dumb and naive...
I think the two need to start collaborating and they need to rope in JH too...

I agree, finally Jun Ho looks like a human being lol The only way to get him more alive was a woman LOL

I hope so bc without BH, JM is zero. Her little childish pranks with her tracks left all over... JM has no chance doing revenge alone. She has no idea even where to start...
The issue is Jun Ho now bc he loves Seo Rim...

This is a half baked 12-ep drama. Lomon totally grew and transformed. 100%. But the Fox stayed the same. She had a moment where she was starting to feel some love but she quickly bailed out. She is ... stone hearted. So... loving her makes no sense. I feel cheated.

Lomon is great in a romantic role and/or kindness
The Fox is great as a nasty gnashing teeth egocentric maniac

But the story is ... well... not completed.

yeah this is half baked 12-ep drama

I dont think he can die lol so I think he just let her go

A Graceful Liar was so trashy Kardashian style, they slept around and had secret children and betrayed and killed each other, it was a hot steaming stinky pile of script... ALL roles were in a huge greedy mud fight... And, the FL was the most terrible actress... she just kept repeating the same sentences with the same facial expression... from ep 1 to ep 69 when I just could not take it anymore and dropped LOL Omg. nightmare. I do not often drop dramas, but I dropped that one.

i agree.
I think this "love story" was meant to be realistic, the Fox never really changed or grew, she stays "distant" and keeps doing her own thing, she just likes ML but is unwilling to change herself or to become human. Afraid to love..... Ok if the writer wanted that... But ... it is kinda ... too realistic LOL
I agree Lomon is fantastic for acting romance and melodrama and being a nice guy.
The Fox actress easily moves between villain and not-so-villain and -starting to get nice and nice. But I got tired of all the time she spent as not nice LOL
I think the contrast between her gnashing teeth and very kind Lomon was too sharp to maintain for too long in the drama

Well I wrote a long post on that :) I think KBS could have A LOT MORE audience. Bc ... I think we the audience can handle smarter characters :) I think there are lots of ppl who would love to watch a QUALITY 30 min drama bc they are busy.
KBS assumes that bc these dramas are for more mature audience, the audience is dumb. Hm, not necessarily these days :) If short verticals are so popular, then ...

Luckily, this particular FL actress is excellent and so all dramas with this particular FL actress are pretty good - and yeah always can be better :)

I think for KBS it is a balance between not pissing off their traditional audience (and dailies have a reputation "for housewives, meaning - older generation bc honestly I do NOT know any young housewives anymore LOL and retired people).
But there is this whole range of NEW audience that works from home (IT, accounting, billing, customer support, ... ) or in jobs that have down time (security, caretakers, waiting for customers, .... ) OR JUST WAITING FOR OR BEING IN TRANSPORTATION lol This daily is perfect to watch while you are on the train or bus to work... I can see the entire metropolitan NYC or San Fran Bay area watching dailies :) Los Angeles and everyone else- no LOL since they drive ... lol

The short verticals are $15 billion dollar industry, which means they caught this new market super good, plus bc their videos are a few minutes, they ALSO caught all slackers at work - and we all know the new gen is on social media during work hours... and of course school kids and students.

But here we are, an audience that has ideas for more :) I wish KBS and other strinctly Korean companies to succeed. Foreign influence in this is a rat hole. I think Korean companies have been abusive to this is a wake up call, but I do hope they got to find THE MIDDLE WAY that allows them to keep producing quality highly popular dramas and to keep all the money in Korea and under strictly Korean standards. The minute kdramas are under foreign standards, they go down. This has already started but the damage should be curbed at some point. That is another rasons why I like dailies bc they ARE strictly Korean.

Right now I am watching Pearl in Red. Although I fast forward through most of it - most scenes are totally soapy, crying, etc and FL is a terrible actress - but there are great scenes too, I like seeing it bc it is genuinely Korean, it has real Korean actors and not plasticized young fashion models, it has scenes from real daily life, and the ML actor is amazing - he is a super excellent middle aged classic male villain, He is superb, there is no role, he is "for real" and is totally like a character from real life. I MET ppl like him lol I have a better understanding of their culture by watching that kind of cheap but quite realistic drama... yeah it is mostly cheesy cheap :) but in some ways that is good bc then a 30 min episode is like 15 mins :) and I can drop it any time :)

First Man though is different, I would not drop this. I am a fan of this FL now (and some others now, in this drama it is Baek Ho bc it is "for real" very convincing acting, even CEO Chae is a very "for real" villain, and in Qeen's house it is both MLs, mother in law and even the brother that got disabled, and the Dad of that icky female doctor. In this drama there are side roles that are convincingly real, it is just that the characters are not ppl we love - the golddiggers, the Chairma, Jung Min's family are all convincing, even the Lap Dog) and so I am sure there is quality ever time this FL actress shows up, and there is. And this drama too, I am sure will get better as they go along. So I am interested in helping them grow even internationally.
Ah this is getting to be too long of a post. But i am really studying this :)
I think the key is a good script writer or at least someone with some ideas. Honestly, I think actors can think of how to embelish the script. but they need lots of ideas and guidance so that the whole crew is on the same page
