I'm just glad Se-Seung is taking a step back. J Sub was taking her fi diat. I mean the woman could not take her eyes off him 90% of time so much that he talked about it more than once. So it's crazy he's acting like she wasn't that into him. I don't know where he gets off acting like he made some big sacrifice or something. Dude bought her some pastry and bought chocolates for his real crush (forget that thing about bringing it out for everybody, it was for Cho-A). Then he acts all heartbroken when Jiwon doesn't pay him mind. Now he's back to love-bombing Se-seung since he is out of options but because he thinks she picked someone other than him at the very beginning, he's going out of his way to be hurtful. Jae-hyung is in a slightly similar situation but you don't see him giving Juyeon false hope.
If all of that wasn't clear, I dislike J Sub and I hope Se-Seung does not end up with him. She deserves way better.
The plot is paper thin but this combination of actors works beautifully. The characters are likable, it's simple and straightforward. Never thought I'd ever not roll my eyes at a slip and kiss. So many beautiful men on the screen and I'm ready to forgive anything.
This is such a thoughtful review. Thank you for writing it. I decided a long time ago I wasn't going to watch this drama but I saw an edit on YT and decided to read reviews to see if my mind changes. No such thing happened but I'm just pleased to read something as well-written as this on MDL.
I've become uninvested in the leads' romance atp. I think they peaked for me in ep 10. With the possibility of a sad ending, I'm choosing myself. Thankfully the plot is solid without the romance plot and the supporting cast is *chef's kiss*
You never know what the truth really is. I remember reading an article on bullying a while ago. It describes the…
"For example, actors are usually extroverted, occupy a high role or status, self assured, may give off an impression of trustworthiness and reliability, has an air of untouchability, very convincing, a need to control situations, and maybe very charismatic." I'd love to see some research results or stats on this.
Anecdotal evidence points to quite a few actors being introverts. There's an article on MDL with actors' MBTIs and the number of introverts is substantial. Actors may act extroverted in public since it's part of their jobs as celebrities. It's a whole different thing to make the statement you have and tie it to them having the same personalities as bullies. That's a really harmful stereotype to perpetuate.
It's interesting that he's not in many highly-rated shows/films but I still think he's such a good actor. I'm a fan of actors who choose projects they like. It comes through in their performance.
The good thing about the block function is that you remove all chances of encountering an unhinged person's comments ever again. Use the block button today!
If I were the writer I'd kill Hae-in just to dump the mother into misery.
Unsure why they persist in showing this insensitive/hurtful side of Hae-in because there's no way she doesn't know that man is in love in love with her. Shouldn't she be softening by now?
I'm a huge fan of the anime. Not that it matters. But this drama is a completely different animal so I'm not going to compare. ]I enjoyed it. Didn't feel the urge to use the ffw button even once. The pacing was consistent and the story was seamless. No silly plot holes. Can't remember the music which, for me, is a good thing cos it means it melded into the background. The CGI was okay but don't take my word for it. I thought the CGI for Sweet Home was okay too.
What elevated this a lot for was the acting. Koo Kyo Hwan was *chef's kiss*. Stellar actor. Kwon Hae Hyo as well. Jeon So Nee was a revelation. I didn't quite like her in Blooming Youth but this role made her shine. I didn't understand Lee Jung Hyun's character. Don't know if it was the character or the actor but the performance fell flat for me.
In all, a good drama. I should rewatch in a couple months.

Looking forward to this drama.
