so how can I say this ... it's not the best series but not the worst either and somehow I can't stop watching…
It is the relationship between James and FL and their inner conflict. Also this is gray area - she is thinking she is protecting her family - but is it ok to destroy others to protect your family? We see how the thin veneer of seeming sanity is just falling apart as FL turns into a devil. So any one of us nice people in her situation would .... do what?
i love how their bond is growing ðŸ˜dramas with nom romance genre always gives the best vibes between leads ðŸ˜
Imo this is already a romance. They way they were on that sofa/floor at the end of ep 5, was ... well... very intimate and I was starting to wonder if he will lean down and kiss. A few more minutes of that scene and that would have been the only way to proceed..... I think those two are hitched already. He thinks he wants her as a dog, but.... I think he needs her. And she got so much livelier bc of him. But her daughter likes him so this is a tricky situation
its a Korean drama. Prison must not be the ending. Other, similar dramas didn't always end with a character going…
It is life :) the ending possibilities are endless... ML has majorly bad karma, he sold drugs for too long... he harmed sooo many ppl.... so .... i DO hope FL's husband runs off with his mistress. FL needs to get rid of that blood sucker, he killed her spirit
I think FL and James are starting to hit it as lovers and I think they need to run away as a family BUT FL's daughter has a crush on him. That's not good... So that tells me maybe they wont live as a family
The scene of 3 guys drinking and judge watching was so hilarious and so endearing!
I love this drama, it is so warm and human
And FL's mom ... she was so grumpy and awful, I didnt connect the dots that it is the same actress as the lost Sister from Once Again, who was one of my fav female characters in kdramas ever... but here she has a different vibe, different character, and I didnt recognize her LOL That is one awesomely skilled amazing actress!!!!! Like a chameleon, becomes who she is acting
Jae Pil irritiates me as waste of a handsome guy in good shape. yeah he is handsome, he is honest, he is stable, and all that but HE IS DEAD. His charm is zero... He is barely moving, barely talking, barely living. He is just sooooo unfit as a partner. He is not putting any effort to make YR happy and to enjoy their time together. Everything seems to be about HIM rather than cherishing her, showering her with his affection, enjoying his precious time with her. Yeah yeah he brought medicine, gave her a ride, etc but it is all.... bland bland bland like he brought his elderly aunt to a tea party bc he had to.... He came to her work and haircut to bring her to help his dad... When did he do something JUST FOR HER TO MAKE HER HAPPY? Or for himself out of longing for her, just to enjoy just one minute with her?
he has no longing whatsoever... His vibe is "medical doctor", "an obedient kid taking his aunt around" and "impotent elderly guy with his elderly friend from the senior home". JP looks like a healthy hot stud guy but there is absolutely no indication that he is male. He is zipped up bottled up and with the tight cap on. Bland stale boring uninterested. Yeah he will make a good medical surgeon but ... is he alive? What is the temperature of his heart? DOES he feel????
I am just ready to grab a cane and get him off the stage. He is unfit to be on the stage as her darling. He is NOT a darling but a leech, depending on her attention but never giving back to her. I want to see HIS eyes dropping honey FOR HER and I want to see HIS smile all FOR HER. He is inadequate so far!!!!
I want JP actor to step up his game. He can interpret JP in many ways and he is chosing to interpret JP as John Wayne and as we know that is 1000000% BORING. I suggest the JP actor liven up his frozen boring interpretation of JP.
A guy has to be charming and swoop his lady off her feet, and JP just ... is NOT. JP is a strong silent type, ok, that is ok, there are strong and silent good guys and YR likes him, and a strong and silent type CAN be charming, like Tempest ML was, but ...
Jae Pil is too much strong and silent type, He is the DEAD type. I dont feel anything from him,. That actor needs to pump it up a little bit, his character is half dead. he is not even fun to watch. there is ZERO charm. He is not even trying. I think JP needs to go take some lessons from the ML from Tempest - a strong silent type who was hot caring loving doting selflessly sacrificing partner, ready to kiss, ready to protect her, ready to talk with her, share with her, tell her how special she is, and at the end ... yeah die for her.... So JP baby, grow up!!!! LEARN TO SMILE AND SAY I LOVE YOU.
And YR goes back to 12 yrs old with him. He makes her feel so insecure and small and anxious.
So I am NOT giving YR to JP to trash her like that and kill her self esteem and her happiness. I mean even basic stuff - there he is holding her foot in a mini skirt and I am not feeling anything from him that says - wow this chick is hot, I want to come closer! He is not even curious!!! He does not seem to have real manly feelings for her, where he considers her a woman and his eqal partner. She feels like an elderly companion to him. Heck no to that. YR YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!! PICK A HOT GUY TO OPENLY CHERISH YOU FOREVER!
He should have showed up at that date with a flower for her and should have put her arm under his, or something like that, and walked in... He should have told her in no uncretain terms that she is beautiful. he should have LOOKED at her and SMILED... . He doesnt even want to touch her. He is not even curious about her. I say - JP is impotent and out with him. It is like he took his hairdresser and father's nurse out to some place where he needed a date so he wouldn't pay. Heck no!!!!!
The USA guy is not it either, calling her Ugly means he is not serious.
I think the Bon Apettit ML became so famous because he was so VIBRANT in his role. He was just exuding energy and radiance. He was fully in it. I wish that JP actor wakes up from his comatose state and exude some vibrancy. Another grumpy jerk who turned super charming is ML in Our Golden Days. That is a good lesson how to act charming too.
A strong and silent guy does not mean a dead comatose guy!!!!! It does not mean a selfish leechy guy who is in it for himself!!! How he complimented her for the haircut said everything about their relationships - he was adminring how handsome HE was. Heck dude, go home and spend time looking in the mirror if you enjoy yourself so much!!!
What he SHOULD have said is something like - looking her in the eye - omg you have such a beautiful touch it is always great to receive your haircut, you are the best, I am so glad to be here with you. I AM SO GLAD TO BE HERE WITH YOU. THe dude speaks Korean and CAN open his mouth and say it.
So ... imo ... the YR JP ship is not ready to sail... the ship got some major holes and needs repairs if it will ever sail... They are not ready yet. He has to step up his game and behave as a man, a lover, a man in love, to show her his tenderness, love and care, his warm deep hot feelings for her, and to BE there for her, instead of using her as a comfortable companion and babysitter who showers him with attention. She is not his mommy. He gotta GIVE to her. He gotta COURT her and show his stuff.
He is just a zipped up cold fish. So dead!!!!!! Get out, dude!!! DEFROST!!!!. Be a MAN! Show some feelings! The two of them behave like a couple in their 70s where she takes care of him, and they are comfortable with each other. Heck no to that, I want YR to be happy.
JP needs to make YR happy, to make her feel loved and cherished, not to just hang out so that she can be nice to him. Heck no to such a leech. Get a life, JP. Become someone who is going to get YR off her feet and feel like she is the most special most precious happiest woman in the world.
SO - UNTIL JP CAN MAKE HER FEEL THAT,, HE IS OUT AS UNQUALIFIED. That's it, folks. YR deserves a guy who will treat her like a princess.
And new JH seems a snotty prick
One thing, the MrQueenML definitely likes YR a lot :) BUt he still calls her Ugly so there is no way it is going to get anywhere. He somehow doesnt beleive he can have her. Like his cheabol life is not for her. He likes her but not enough to take her home.
Am I the only person who likes Yeongrye and Jaepil ???
Not yet. He is still to cold and reserved and using her for attention . HE needs to step up his game and be a man to her. HE has to confess and be vulnerable and open and warm to her. and truly show his love care and affection. He is as cold as a fish. Just using her for company and attention, not GIVING to her.
Yeah I don't think anyone assumes he will ditch her. I personally don't even want him with JH as an end game anymore.…
I think JP just uses her for attention. I dont want her to slave away for his scraps of attention. He is half dead like a cold fish. I really do NOT see him as a hot lover at all. He is BORING and self centered and I cannot see how he would make YR happy
Which trailer did you see? Can you post a link to it?
WHERE DID YOU SEE EP 17 ENG SUB? While I watched your trailer, some clips came from what looks like ep 17 but no subs - now I cannot find them :( as for ramyon, kdrama characters saty dont eat it and get puffy LOL and mom always weighs her, wants her perfect, to marry some rich dude... That mom is weird, what is her real agenda?
Which trailer did you see? Can you post a link to it?
remember how mom makes her weigh herself and be perfect? Remember how kdrama characters say dont eat ramyon and get all puffy? LOL Imo mom wants to set her up with some rich guy
I skipped this drama for other shows. But I’m really curious. what’s the secret behind its sky-high TRP? 🤔
Bc it is amazingly good :) KBS has weekend dramas that were below par and then ... got Iron Family, which was great - Mr. Queen's King was ML and he is a comedian like nobody else - and FL was soooo cute and realistic as a blind person - but many ppl do not like watching poverty and handicapped people :( LET US BE HONEST HERE..... that is the only reason why they didnt watch it.... They want to watch some suave cheabols killing each other.... then Eagle Brothers which was middle class BLAH BLAH BLAH great for impotent older ppl it was sooooo policically correct it was without any flavor or content - soooo shallow and articifical - but it never offended or upset anyome LOL except me LOL I was going to send art police to that drama - it was so ... empty!!!! stuck in the same scene for 50 episodes.... ah it was so boring!!!! - although it started promising... I wasl like... well this suc@s, but ok for the first 20 episodes ok they are just setting the scene - but it stayed that same scene for all 50 episodes!!!! nobody changed, nobody grew, it was the same stuff for all 50 episodes... omg. Well except the villain - the serial killer father from Flower of Evil, what an amazing actor - and a new actor who came from the modeling world. The rest of them just bsed through the drama. That supposedly fancy famous FL actress was one of the worst bser actress I have ever seen, she just cannot act and her personal feelings kept interfering, that is how it felt to me. It was a disaster. BUT IT WAS POLITICALLY CORRECT, SHE WAS CUTE, AND SO ... impotent ppl loved her role.
and now THIS. THis is a great phenomenal modern drama about real people from real life. I totally love it. And it has very good acting too and really fun characters. AND IT IS SO REAL, IT HITS HOME FOR MANY PPL. THIS DRAMA APPLIES TO SO MANY PPL IN DAILY LIFE. Kdramas are experts on that. and this one really hit the spot. It is not about some fancy kings, cheabols, or assassins, it is about the very basic CLASH between working men and working women, and women trying to make it in the world, and men having to take off the lid on their iron clad armor and BREATHE a little.
This drama is a powerful powerful social commentary
and yeah fun too :)
The young actors are so energetic and really really really fun I love softie 2ML and ML's spoiled brat materialistic sister, and the vibrant Driver and scaredycat MommaGirl. They are AMAZING
I watched 8 episodes and I'm going to stop here. Although most people seem to hate JH, my constant annoyance is…
I am NOT going to open my mouth here :) Suffice to say, it is therapeutic to watch something that can reveal more of your own inner world to yourself. And to feel the words behind what is said, to feel what is not said. JH loved EH for a very very long time, he just never admitted it :)
From rejecting the FL to crushing over her. I am just not feeling the way this is playing out.
LOL he always loved her, just didnt admit it. he kept a very tight lid on himself.... Now ... his clad iron armor started to crack and what is inside him is starting to be revealed :) he is a young immature unaware dude and he has loved EH for a very very very long time
I find him amusing to watch bc I am not on the receiving end of it and this is a drama LOL but in fact he is very dangerous bc he breaks hearts bc he is so clueless. A typical "normal" male I have met clueless likes of him .... so many.... even one for myself LOL and so it is fun to see how the script writer picked ONE out of millions of that sort who will actually EVOLVE beyond his stupid shell :) This one might hatch!!!! so it is fun to watch. Like a fantasy come true LOL
This is quite rare. Most dudes like this are never gonna make it. This one was lucky to have EH who challenged him and never gave up on HERSELF. Most dudes like this never ever make it bc "their EH" is a dubmo and always caters to the guy and thus allows him to keep being a clueless disrespectful jerk
ML has majorly bad karma, he sold drugs for too long... he harmed sooo many ppl.... so ....
i DO hope FL's husband runs off with his mistress. FL needs to get rid of that blood sucker, he killed her spirit
I think FL and James are starting to hit it as lovers and I think they need to run away as a family BUT FL's daughter has a crush on him. That's not good... So that tells me maybe they wont live as a family
yeah they need to pack up and leave asap
I love this drama, it is so warm and human
And FL's mom ... she was so grumpy and awful, I didnt connect the dots that it is the same actress as the lost Sister from Once Again, who was one of my fav female characters in kdramas ever... but here she has a different vibe, different character, and I didnt recognize her LOL That is one awesomely skilled amazing actress!!!!!
