Well who cares about real life... What matters is the drama. FL and ALbert *could* make a pair but that is unlikely

I think his criminal activities take precedence over his romantic interest in FL, so dont worry :)

when she wore that "ragby / football" dress that made her arms and shouders be 2 m wide LOL She was a moving wall LOL

I like to see a tall actress. I am soooo tired of the tiny ones. I like tha Nora's mom is tall.

Ok so then we will find out soon, I hope, why Albert smiles at Nora with such sympathy and liking

Well I think it is the chicken and the egg. She lacks physical energy to act bc she is just malnourished and lacks muscles. She has even less meat on her than usual "skinny"... Did you see how the pants hang on her.. ? It is just bones
The "usual skinny" look like skeletons, the knees stick out as globs, and the legs look like X clunking around in a mini skirt, it is TERRIFYING not pretty... and the arms like sticks... Those standards are used for fashion models and runways - why??? and I think it is time to save all those people from that torture destroying their health and well being.
It is a whole industry that makes a living by bsing us into diet plans and never looking good enough, bc those skinny standards are just impossible to achieve and MAINTAIN in real life where you got to work 8+ hrs per day, get to/from work, go shopping for groceries, cook, clean, pay bills, and have a social and family life and even hobbies. YOu need quality callories and muscles to last through the day.
But this bsing us into never being skinny enough and havinig to hide it and try to achieve it is just a HUGE industry that is just detrimental for our sense of well beign as well as our well being
I say - down and out with them

yeah Beak Ho is a sincere man, and the actor acting Baek Ho is very committed to his role. I have never noticed the actor. Baek Ho seems like a real person. That's great acting skillZ.

ML and FL actors have no chemistry. She is too busy being cynical and he just doesnt like her really. I was complaining of the height and size difference but I was really complaining of lack of "I like you" kinda feel. I suspect Lomon is not capable of acting that with this actress and she too is not capable of acting it with him. They just do not genuinely try either to try to act it, and THAT is the director and script.
I understand, ML - FL started as total strangers, then she tortured him, so of course he is not gonna like her, but ... she tortured him bc she liked him, and that just never comes off like that.... Her "liking" of him is too ... scientific cold. And he too... I dont feel anything when she is next to him, it seems like she is some small thing bothering him. He has to show how he is getting more interested in her. First unconsciously and then knowingly. That had to be shown A LOT EARLIER in the drama

yeah, Genie was total and complete trash, I dropped it instantly, it looks like someone on drugs filmed it, so chaotic and bombastic, total Hollywood trash

its personality of a teenager or a very young person :) realistically those are the ppl who vote the most online. ALSO, there are tons of trolls. Accounts made just to kill the competition

Perhaps depends on air time? Bc it is Lunar year - so maybe dinner time OR late night dramas get affected

Same ... and also I wish that ML-FL had a little bit more spark / warmth

Exactly!!!!! ppl already caught some ppl who made an account just to spread hate. This drama is all right. Could be better, given the actors are pretty good, so hopefully it improves

Exactly. This might not be the global masterpiece drama but it is a pretty good drama, and it is funny and has warm moments, and some deep messages.
The leads arent really into each other but hopefully that will improve too

I didnt see those two but I liked My Roommate is a Gumiho. It had profound messages about transforming from someone who gains attention by sexual charms to someone who stands on their own and does not vampire energy from others

That's the point - let your love simmer deeper.... gives you time to reflect

I keep thinking if there is more to it, bc ppl are adopted and ppl cheat, so what if Al and Nora are not blood related... ?
And what is it that Al knows? I have a feeling he knew that FL's true identity looong time ago.... since that company dinner in a very early episode ... since he saw the sand clocks, he also knows CEO and FL are related too

yeah for some reason Al likes Nora.
FL found out who she is. Bok He always knew

I am thinking if there is more, bc in these stories, there is always some adopted kids, then ppl cheat, so Al and Nora might not be blood related.

what is Nora's true identity... ? he sees her at the house at the breakfast table and smiles like that...

Who says that something has to happen to SR? She will be under fire as her "mom" will try to kill her but I think she is smarter than JM and hopefully can avoid it. Keep our fingers crossed! I am more concerned about JM messing up her swap

I was thinking a lot about this daily and I think the captivating factor here is that the drama looks totally real. Actors are really INTO IT, as if they were really those characters and these were just scenes from their daily lives. (well the Chef gotta get there too, he yanks me out of the story, but everyone else is already there). Even the golddiggers. They are hilarious :) and Chairman is sooooo shrewd....

After thinking a lot about what makes a drama so captivating, it is really how much the actors are into it, how "honest" they are about being in their role and not just pretending they are something, but BEING their character. When they are soooo "as if they are the character" then we the audience automatically get pulled into the story.

I have no formal training in acting or making films/dramas or scripts, only the intro class in Improv Comedy, so everything I am saying is not technical, it is basically from my observations...

I just notice, when an actor is ... determined? I dont know how to describe it - DETERMINED to be that character, really INSISTING on being that character, FULLY COMMITTED to BEING that character, something magical happens bc you are automatically pulled in to watch them.
So in this drama I get that from Seo Rim and now from Jang Mi too, from Baek Ho and from CEO Chae, who makes my skin crawl the second I see her or she opens her mouth LOL she is very real to me LOL her hypnotizingly overly sweet bs is just .... like an emergency alarm to me LOL she pushes all my buttons as DANGER!DANGER!DANGER! lol lol lol

I think the key for me is the FL actress, who is just super convincing and really fun as Seo Rim, and in the latest episodes, quite convincing as Jang Mi too. JM is not so dull anymore, so she seems more like a real person rather than someone trying to act as a dumb person LOL
Plus, after meeting SR, JM is now getting woke :) and almost kissed Baek Ho.... :) That scene was sooo cute and so real. Baek Ho is so real, too. In fact, I think that is one of the key things, he seems real. He is on the screen a lot and making the drama look real bc he looks so natural. I am sure you know someone like Baek Ho. "the good guy next door", or family, friend or colleague That actor is really making that role seem real and "familiar". I never saw the actor. I only see Baek Ho. To think if it, that is an amazing actor, totally totally camouflaged. For FL, I know it is an actress but I am sooo sold out on her role. For her, it is like I am agreeing that she leads me down the path of the story. I know it is an actress but she says "watch me!" and is leading us down the lane and showing us stuff and it is all as if real. That is a great skill too...

For the murderer criminals, since most of us do not know any murderers personally - I hope!!!! the criminals are harder to imagine but CEO Chae and her lapdog are pretty convincing. I am now rethinking what I just said bc I DO know sweettalking lying snakes like CEO Chae and I know some of their misdeeds and now I wonder - how many ppl they killed LOL and what I do not know.... Actually....
