All that internal monologue makes me want to hit my head against something. They can take that out and we would not be missing anything. That said, the actors are giving their pay's worth and more. The acting is my favourite part of this. Especially Mol. She's killing the role of a manipulative mother and vengeful friend. This is not going to be a happy ending. Imagine going against her? In and Wang are learners.
One episode in and I love this so much. Excited for all the possibilities the plot holds. The cast is delivering so far. Enjoyed the cameo of the actor from It's Beautiful Now as the mum.
Maybe if the male lead was cold or unfriendly or even slightly unlikeable, the female lead and townspeople wouldn't come off as such annoying busybodies. And this is supposed to be a comedy but nothing really funny has happened in two episodes. I'd like to say I'll revisit this at a later time but I doubt that'll happen.
I usually like small-town dramas (and all the tropes) but this first episode isn't working for me. Maybe because I felt the main lead's anxiety and he didn't have time to recover from it before being thrust into ridiculous situations. And the female lead's disrespect for personal space and boundaries really rubs me the wrong way. I just hope the second episode offers better.
I've only watched clips of this on YT and I've completely forgotten that Kim Go Eun was Yumi. Such a powerful actress breathing life into roles. Can't wait to start this drama.
She doesn't want her father's attention or approval, she wants to bring her father, her brother AND the company…
Two things can be true at once. She has enough at this point to bring down both father and brother but she's taking this roundabout route, hurting others in the process, trying to be the head honcho. I think it boils down to her need to be "seen" by her father. Think about this. If her father fully acknowledges her and anoints her his heir do you think she'll still be on the revenge path?
Halfway through this and my only critique is the female lead. Was this what the writers and director intended with the character? She's so impulsive and scatterbrained and not in the good way. The fighting spirit that's supposed to be positive somehow just looks like her having tantrums. I haven't see the actress in anything else and tbh after this performance, I don't want to.
As someone who enjoys food, I can understand why having such different tastes would seem like such a big deal. What I don't understand is don't they have friends to do these other things they enjoy with? Must they do everything with their partners? I remember Hyogi in Ep 1 saying he hasn't been around other people other than his girlfriend hence him being quiet. That is hella unhealthy. You can't be the only two people in each other's lives.
Started watching this as background noise but got immersed for two episodes. Won't be watching anymore. Too frustrating to see so many unhealthy relationships in one place. Every couple needs to break up like yesterday and move on with their lives. And make sure they get counselling or do some soul searching before they enter another relationship because the issues are not just with their partners but with them.
"I can't forgive you for calling another girl cute." Excuse me? Not the fact that he wouldn't listen, kept interrupting and talking over you and deliberately saying things to hurt you and refused to talk things through. Eish. I'm done.
Really?!!! We had no idea whatsoever.
