I've not hit annoyance yet maybe because I expect Hyo-shim's breaking point to come after plenty of pile-ons. What I'd hate to see mid-drama is her breaking away completely and the writers dragging her back in.

Tae-ho has already caught feelings, no? Dude is gone and he knows it.

The gym seems to be a very social place for the oldies and less about working out. So I can see how they'll be their early to catch all the gossip.

I'm ready to fight anybody who talks smack about Hyo-shim. Square up.

Also, a reminder that this is a 50-ep drama and if the characters do everything you want them to do RIGHT NOW, you'll have a 12-ep drama. So relax and enjoy (or fast-forward) the fillers and sub-plots.

I'm so mad that more trouble is coming for Hyo-shim. My babe is just living her life and trying her best and the stupid men in her life (including the one forcing his way in) are putting a target on her back. I refuse to waste my breath on the mum. She's trash.

Might be a reach but super brat might end up pregnant. Characters have gotten pregnant doing less than hugging a boy under a tree. 😂

Your response makes it seem like I'm saying dramas shouldn't be criticized at all. I'm not.

Any criticism will be taken badly by someone who has decided their favoured show does not have faults. You cannot control that. You only have control over your responses. A lot of the "attacks" and "counter-attacks" on MDL are driven by ego. "You're so stupid you can't see this show is horrible." "You're acting all superior and think your taste is better than mine."

MDL isn't worse or better than any platform where people can freely share their views. You can decide to take the bad with the good (and there is a lot of good) and chill the fuck out. Or, you can decide to be combative and go to war with "toxic fans/supporters".

Either way, nobody can take away your right to share your opinions so long as you have a functional account.

"We should relax, enjoy things without being overly critical, and let people love what they love without judgment. It's about finding a balance between analyzing and appreciating. Happy drama watching!" I don't think a lot of the commenters saw this part. :)

"Why was I watching dramas in the first place? Oh right, it was to be entertained..." Exactly. But you get attached sometimes. And that's okay. It's perfectly human and normal. I came to dramas from books and it's not much different. Or in music fandoms. The same quarrels and arguments rehashed for years, and the same insults tossed about.

This was a really good read. Well done.

Would you maybe also give grace to younger people who are passionate about the things they love? (Whether it's an actor, a fictional character or a film.)

I think it's great when someone cares enough to critique creative work. I also think it's great that people care so much about creative work to defend with vim. The problem happens when either of these things doesn't come from a place of care. It is read as dismissive and trouble erupts.

Very. No dull moment.

Went into this blind and nope.

This is such a good drama. it's almost making everything else pale in comparison.

Tomorrow. :)

Are the negative early reviews okay if they're true?

That slap.

Deserves its own comment.

Lol. I haven't cried at all. It's not insensitivity. Crying isn't the only way to show empathy/sympathy.

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion. :)

Yi-chan said everything I said (on another platform) a few episodes back in response to someone making excuses for the dad. Intentions be damned. You leave the care of your child to someone who makes her cry because you want her to fit your version of normal. He wants her to smile at him? Fuck him. So he noticed she was withdrawn and unhappy. Wow. Father of the Year. 12 bloody years of abuse. I'm mad all over again.

Next two episodes are going to be heavy af but I trust the writers will give us a clear happy ending.

Lost some of its colour for me after Zong Yi went to jail and some of the plot choices had me rolling my eyes but still a solid BL. Chen Yi and Ai Di being thoroughly whipped for each other was the highlight of ep 13 for me. They're so cute. Looking forward to the next BL from the same writer. She's done some pretty impressive work.

Replacing her meds with candy was such an ick moment for me. I could overlook all that talk about being a replacement for her meds but switching them with candy? I don't know what the writer was thinking because that is light-years away from romantic.

Grandma was the MVP this episode. "I lied." Looooool. Love her sm.

Their youth really twinkled in this episode. Yi-chan's confession, Cheong-ah's acceptance, all the kids together... so heartwarming.

Mark as spoiler. c'mon! Don't ruin it for others.

"demon spawn" is kind even though the blame for her behavior rests on her parents. At least dad is finally beginning to speak up.

For someone who has failed the exam four times he sure acts like a peacock.

I really like how Hyo-shim is not a doormat and does not make excuses for her family's behaviour. Imagine having been treated this way almost all your life. My guess is that she was also her father's favourite and her mother has made her feel guilty/responsible in some way for her father's leaving so she feels a need to make up for it somehow. That she even stands up for herself is a miracle considering in these kind of dynamics, the child ends up becoming an adult without any self-esteem. Can't wait for her breaking point so she dumps those grifters.

As much as Tae-min is my point-of-hate character, the man is fine fine in formal wear. That said, watching him act all jealous made me barf a little from embarrasment. Glad Tae-ho was ready with a sliding tackle answer. He's so cute.
