All great Romantic Melodramas. Enjoy!

Vincenzo meets The Tale of Lady Ok (fake ID for FL), Love Scout (Single father ML) and Potato Lab (lead as farmer) ??

Strawberries 🍓
Enemies-To-Lovers Leads
Single-father ML (JinYoung ) is a Strawberry farmer
FL is (Fake) Kindergarten Teacher of ML's child, that's how leads meet.

FL in contract Reltionship with side character CEO who'll die in 3 months, after which she'll gain his inheritance, so she has lots of people after the money and has to figure out how to survive the danger, while disguised as the perfect woman Bu Se Mi.
Before this she was poor and struggling.

Seo Hyeon Woo plays the Chaebol family's lawyer.
Jang Yoon Ju plays a The Ceo's cunning step-daughter.
Joo Hyun Young plays a live-in house maid for the chaebol family.


Next time,
can MDL actually do THEIR JOB and Report what the PLOT is ACTUALLY about!!

HOW MANY PEOPLE DID YOU TURN AWAY FROM THIS DRAMA ,BECAUSE YOU MISREPORTED ML AS TERMINALLY ILL?!?!

I LOVE STRAWBERRIES.
Looking forward to all the Food & farming shots ! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍰🍰🍓🍓🍓🍓

It was confusing previously, I think we assumed ML is the CEO

because usally the Contract Reltionship is between the leads lol

It's highly refreshing that a lead has relationship contract with side character

Korean sources reassuring us,

NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT TERMINAL ILLNESS PLOT!:


The CEO is a plot device character separate from the romantic leads.

Korean entertainment news sites repeatedly describe Jinyoung’s character as a "single dad strawberry farmer," and mention he is wary of Bu Se-Mi, the fake kindergarten teacher with a contract marriage background. This confirms the romantic pairing is between farmer father and female lead, not a CEO.

The contract marriage involving a terminally ill CEO is part of the female lead’s backstory and only sets up the larger inheritance and identity plot. The CEO character is not the male lead nor the romantic interest.

.......


Here is an English translation and summary of the key findings from verified Korean sources about the drama:

1. The male lead (played by Jinyoung) is a farmer—and NOT the terminally ill conglomerate chairman.
- From official character descriptions:
“Jinyoung / Role: Jeon Dong-Min — A single dad who grows strawberries in the countryside and raises his son. He’s wary of Bu Se-Mi, the new kindergarten teacher (who is actually in disguise). He’s tough but warm, turning from ‘villain’ to ‘hero’ in Bu Se-Mi’s story.”
- Source: dukyong15.tistory.com/4883

2. There is no mention of the male lead being terminally ill; the terminally ill chairman is a separate, minor (background) character, who sets up the contract marriage plot for the female lead.
- The casting for the terminally ill chairman role has not been officially announced in any published article or press release.

3. All published articles and official cast lists name only the main actors (Jeon Yeo-Bin, Jinyoung, Jang Yoon-Ju, Joo Hyun-Young, Seo Hyun-Woo), and do not list a terminally ill lead character.

In summary:
- The male lead is definitively a single father and farmer, not terminally ill.
- The only terminally ill character is the chairman, who is NOT a main lead.
- There is zero evidence in Korean media that terminal illness is a main plot for either of the romantic leads.

If you need the direct Korean phrases, here is one:
“시골에서 딸기 농사를 지으며 아들을 키우는 싱글대디... 신분을 속인 가짜 유치원 교사 부세미에게 빌런에서 히어로가 될 까칠하지만 누구보다 따뜻한 남자.”

Translated:
“A single dad growing strawberries in the countryside and raising his son… a tough but warm man who goes from villain to hero for Bu Se-Mi, the fake kindergarten teacher in disguise.”

So, all official Korean sources confirm: there is NO terminal illness for the leads; the "terminally ill" character is a side/backstory figure, not the farmer male lead.

Now 3 months later, NO illness tags and description makes it sound that Bu Se Mi her ID & the relationship contract is what's ACTUALLY TIMELIMITED.

Looks Like maybe not terminal illnes plot after all!!

Personally I find him really unattractive (just imo, please don't hate for taste) for a romance ML, so I really hope you're right, good acting can most of the time make up for lack of appeal, even maybe in romance where attractiveness is more important, if he's really good maybe

At least they put the blame in the right place this time and remebred that Social Media Managers exist lol, and didn't take it out on the actor who is unlikely to even (fully solo at least) manage his account lol

I was very surpised that at least they were more rational during a controversy, can't say that of them before lol

You know what, they'll likely do just that. 😅🤦‍♀️

At this point, I'm Pro-Banning Childhood Connection trope lol, make it illegal to use 😅

It seems not many HIT dramas this year 😅

90% of dramas aired this year very mediocre popularity.
Then again they didn't deserve popularity.


Hopefully Next half of 2025 will have better dramas.
Or will we have to wait all the way for 2026?? 😅

The article says it has Romance.
Maybe not RomCOM, but RomMelo or Romance w some other genre(s)
Regardless, this actor is too much Babyfaced to take seriously as Romantic Lead.

I'd rather he play supporting or some other role then, let more masculine man lead !

Now he's cast in Positively Yours with Oh Yeon Seo! 😍

FOR REAL!
People just overlooking them while hyping the most average acting skilled actors!!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

The actors make a cute pairing, but I don't like historicals unless set in 1900s and not Joseon, and this writer's last work (Queen of Tears) had trash writing.... 😬
