In other words, imo it really looks to me like YOU are not willing to share YOURSELF with them. SO you are fake. They know you are hiding something and they dont trust you.

So become genuine and become REALLY interested in them. Do not hold any judgments and any hidden agendas. JUST ENJOY THEM AND LISTEN. Be a friend without any meddling.

It is like taming stray cats, you have to be patient and loving but THEY ALL COME FOR FOOD. Everyone wants to be loved.

If you dont have love to feed them, they will NOT come to you. Period. Then you can talk for days how stray cats never come out. They do. But not to you. Bc you are not offering FOOD.
So offer some real genuine love to those teenagers and watch the difference.

NOBODY CAN RESIST LOVE.

Well how many times do I have to repeat it? THEY DO SEEK IT A LOT. Healthy kids as a norm, and wounded kids (drugs, s.x, misbehavior) maybe not at all OR with some really bad adults that I do not have access to.

So teenagers DO seek adult company and guidance. They will gloat about their grades or crushes or scrapbook or concert or whatever. To many ppl!!!! They WILL share personal stuff and extremely selectively. There is probably like ONE OR TWO adults in their life that they feel comfortable with sharing their deepest questions. And you are not it
They just think you are some old geezer who does not understand them. You probably do not look approachable and you probably seem judgmental and you probably give the vibe that you are NOT REALLY interested in them.

YOU CANNOT FAKE IT. Seems like something about you is fake so they dont trust you.
So - become someone they can trust

Also, I am not saying they will share everything!!!!!!!!! Boys will share with men, and girls will share with women. And they will keep a lot of stuff for themselves - their newfound feelings of sexuality esp. Do not expect sharing about that :) unless it is a question about contraceptives or STDs or something like that - but usually, it is YOU who has to talk to them first.

SO YOU ASK THEM FIRST AND THEY WILL SHARE. Not every detail but you need to know what they are doing and explain to them various options.

They WILL voluntarily or by your invitation share some critical pieces that they either have a question about or they think you must know, for example, someone is bullying or abusing them or trying to molest them.

Teenagers are by definition in a self-absorbed phase, but they are smart and perceptive and sensitive, so do NOT underestimate them, and many many many have severe wounds from adults and parents. SO THREAD GENTLY

HJ is a nice boy toy (but unpredictable violent criminal) and MJ is a predictable robot bodyguard.
I dont think either one is a good pair for JJ
And I dont think JJ is a good pair for anyone - she is so stuck and lost and does not even know what she feels. Imo she needs 2 years of some rehab to recover

I LOVE Butler Ok twist !!!!!

To be honest, this melodrama and psychological thriller about JJ liking HJ or not is actually interesting. She messed him up and felt guilty. Does she miss her little slave? But she is too late, he already became a different person an evil person, and will bite her head off.
JJ was marrying HJ out of greed but she would have NOT killed or harmed anyone.
HJ is trying to copycat JJ but he *** is *** willing and *** is *** collaborating with serial killers and thieves and sees nothing wrong with that.

So I never ever felt that HJ loves JJ. He was just a selfish confused kid with a crush, he was acting nice to get something, and as soon there was a difficulty, he dumped and backstabbed her.
I also never felt that JJ likes HJ. It feels more like an auntie who abused her little cousin and now feels guilty and wants to make up and protect him. If the writer thinks that is love.. then... we are out of agreement.
So my conclusion is that imo IT IS NECESSARY THAT BOTH JJ AND HJ SEE HOW STUPID THEY WERE TO THINK ABOUT GETTING MARRIED JUST FOR BUSINESS, and that all be cleared up
If the writer wants to make Chloe dumb, sure, make her go with HJ. He is a nice boy toy.
I also cannot imagine Chloe with MJ since he is such a stiff piece of cement, such a robot. He is more like a bodyguard or a father, he does not feel one iota to be a man

Yes it is confusing isnt it, HJ turned evil so he is not the right match for JJ - but seems like JJ is not able to see that he turned evil
and MJ is not a good match either, bc MJ is so robotic

yes it is confusing bc HJ turned evil and is DEFINITELY not the right match for JJ

But MJ is not the right match either. He is so robotic

I am not sure what kind of feelings she got... She feels like an aunty protecting her little cousin she messed up.... .. and also, even if she is interested in HJ the man, she is late, the guy SHE THINKS HE IS is gone already... I think that's her super huge problem - seems like she liked the slave she had, and wants that again, but ... he is gone already

And he thinks he is a good father too :) That guy is a bag of sh.t. I want to know his history

Yeah now... but .. Uncle doesnt seem the type... and 30 yrs ago?... what was Uncle doing then... ?

Any art form esp visual storytelling is an "advertisement" for certain values, looks, habits.

If FL keeps repeating how she doesnt eat bc that makes her so pretty and famous, what message is that giving to the masses?

And so, since you are siding with that mainstream brainwashing approach,
dont you think YOU are bodyshaming?

The whole world currently is being bodyshamed that unless you look super skinny, you are fat. THAT is a severe bodyshaming. You, with your comments supporting self starving, are bodyshaming anyone who is healthy, eats well, has mucscles, and is fit, and not to mention ppl who are on the "thick" side -
YOU ARE A MAINSTREAM FASHION PROPAGANDA SUPPORTER :)
I suggest you watch and hear Meagan Trenor song "It's all about that bass"

Using AI to replace actors is super easy bc all these plasticized actors look the same. That is most obvious in cdramas, where so many actors look alike - triangular face, etc - like from a manga cartoon

to be honest, I find your comment quite shallow. There is not much thinking put into it. So I am not interested in talking further with you. Bye.

I guess you are missing my point - I said SOME adults DO get to them.
You are just not one of those adults.
Whatever it is in you ... that prevents them from talking... ...

And you should study HOW to become one of those trustworthy adults. Copy someone who is
That's what I said

Of course teenagers are stupid and problematic and that is to be expected

But what YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND is that teenagers are still kids and still need to rely on adults, but are too proud to ask. But if adults do not help them, teenagers get really angry, sad, lost, scared, and THEN they really distance themselves from adults... That is the part where they get into drugs etc.

. It is a very fine line of letting them "be in charge" and not TELLING them what to do and judging them

So you have to somehow let them think THEY are making decisions and doing it, yet YOU influence them and help them decide. That is an ART and you just have to study it

and you have to know where to draw the line and which battles to give up.
The music, clothes, what their room looks like, etc can be tolerated to some degree
BUT ... sharing about bullying, "new friends", going out, etc that all has to be shared....

Yup :) I feel like all of us watchers survived together a major calamity

We should have yearly reunions as the survivors' group :)

Prosecutor character WAS too serious and like a pent-up bomb, bc he was laden with grief and anger so it felt like he could explode in violence any second... and he often did lol which made him highly unpredictable, scary and dangerous ...
however, all that is resolved and he even found his true love, so he has all the reasons to smile :) So smiling at the end only makes sense. If he did not smile.... then I would question his love feelings and his healing from the past. He HAD TO smile :) to prove the past was all over and he was starting fresh.

The ending was cheesy rosey "riding off into the sunset" Hwood soapy happy... and I didnt like it. The script and the acting just were too soapy.

As for the actor: imo acting too serious and rather angry and bitter was not natural for the actor, sometimes it was obvious he was faking it. I have no idea about that person and I have never seen him nor read or heard about him, so I have no idea what he is like in real life, but my hunch is that he is more on the calm and smiley side and definitely is a person with brains and thinking ability. His role in this drama was quite complex and he pulled it off

yeah they are difficult. But still I see adults get to them. Like many teachers are their favorites and they tell them all kinds of stuff
THERE IS A WAY to get to them but you just need to fnd out how
and with your job it will be impossible :) you are snitch in their eyes,

unfortunately with someone so completely evil, that seems the most efficient way bc no matter what, they just will not change ..
The Chairman in jail is just going to make a gang of his own and expand his influence..

I dont think it will change her. Beating did not change her dad.
Something else has to be used to cause PERMANENT change. What can it be?

But parents communicate with their kids... in sneaky ways if need be... Teenagers have adult friends too who can be spies for the parents... and also other teenagers - since usually kids respect OTHER parents lmao
Teenager or not..... there is always a way to get to a kid :)

I am soooo curious... what kind of script will it be tomorrow to wrap this whole mess with N Korea. S Korea. politics, SMD and its ... villains .. the hat guy, the general, the laundrymat man and the lady banker.... , lose spies everywhere, Gold Teeth, 4 kidnapped kids, 4 hell bent fathers and their 3 wives, Jiseok Construction and its main 3 villains, ....and yeah little details like MJ going back to school, Agent Kim and MJ living under a new identity without N Korean spies and SMD trailing them and/or maiming them, and all the villains taken care of, etc ... anything else I missed? all wrapped in ONE HOUR. That will be a miracle. Yeah and kids and parents being on the same team... this mess has to be wrapped up somehow we cannot just leave this mess

This feels like we just blew open a pinata and now we have to nicely clean up and put it all back

Of course Agent Kim has to die so that he can resurface under a new identity.
And ... according to manhwa,Agent Kim goes back to being full time spy. So this entire drama is not about father-dauther relationship but about a professional spy going back to spy work and experiencing one glitch in his spy work bc of his family. Well ... disappointing

so now MJ has to learn to live with a spy father.

this is not a real thriller. This is a live action webtoon. So lots of things are just "magical" like unbreakable glasses, teakwando uniform still white and unwrinkled, and so on. Just chill and dot your questions and then ask them in a real thriller

lmao
