They skipped the mutually agreed upon we-like-each-other sweetness and went straight to angst.

Hmm. I just assumed the mellowness/tears was a result of the sleeping pills.

I'll hold on to my expectations for a few more eps because I started out liking Ai Long Nhai before it went to hell, carried by terrible subs. Cute first ep though.

Thanks. I might check it out.

I've been wondering why I'm not shocked by the fat-shaming in this drama (or other Korean dramas tbh). Maybe it's because while openly/publicly shaming a fat person in the West is kind of frowned upon, fatness is still very stigmatised. You might not see it in much in media but it's going down in homes and personal spaces. Fat people are harassed and ridiculed by family members and peers.

While I understand how jarring it might be for a lot of people to see this portrayed, this shit goes down everywhere in the world so I can't really clutch my pearls at the depiction. What I really hope is that over time, the standards of beauty in Korea expand to include fat people and that will reflect in their media as well. Otherwise, we'll end with a situation where things like this are censored in media but much doesn't change in everyday life.

(Meanwhile, the numbers for eating disorders are increasing every year worldwide.)

Ps: In case it's not clear, I'm completely against anyone, real or fictional who treats others the way this family treats their son. It's despicable.

This drama is hilarious. I'm shocked comedy isn't one of the tags. The comic timing is superb.

Seol In Ah is doing such a fantastic job as two characters. Crazy how no one has mentioned how different she is. New SK is way too carefree.

Don't know how you both aren't seeing that you're echoing each other. You're saying the same thing.

Ah. Taemin. I figure he has some deep-seated fear that he'll never be good enough and what happened with his father and uncle will repeat with him and Tae-ho. That's why with Tae-ho around he's uncomfortable and treats him like a threat. Even though Tae-ho hasn't really done anything but look for his grandmother.

Villainous Taemin has entered the building. Oh he probably still thinks of himself as "sweet and kind".

Damn. That's a long-ass list. You must get really annoyed watching the show 😭

Sand is really soft around people he cares about. His own mum said the same thing. It'd be out of character for him to treat Boeing harshly even though they're exes. I maintain that Ray is a spoilt brat and over-reactive. Something a simple conversation would lay to rest he has to drum up drama to what? Teach Ray a lesson? Pfft.

I think Cheum already knew her brother wasn't being completely honest all along. Her anger is more that Ton slept with her brother. Given the other shitty stuff Ton's done, it's easy to sweep her own brother's behaviour under the rug and treat it as some kind of karma. But the show has been consistent about calling out bad behaviour so I think she'll make Atom apologise to Ton in ep 12.

ForceBook acting shined in ep 11. If they can maintain this energy in future projects, I doubt they'll get as much flak for their acting. It's hard to not compare because the other actors have consistently delivered from ep 1, even the support roles.

Can someone do a compilation of Max just...walking? Man can walk. Always looks like he's off to take care of some uhm business. Phew.

Too early to really hate anyone. I'm saving my energy for when Tae-min enters his villain phase so I can hate him unreservedly. Still don't understand the grab-by-the-wrist thing in kdramas no matter how often I see it. It's hella disturbing.

Mama Bear's styling is *chef's kiss*. Love her character. It's a great contrast to Namsoon's sweetness. I hope Grandma "bags" her man. lol

Always find it funny when characters in a film are arguing about who'll do the dishes.

Boeing is so unnecessarily hot. Wish he'd met Ray when he was still a ho.

I really wanted to like this a lot but it ended up being just okay. I will say though that the acting of both leads is 10/10. They embodied their characters so well.

It's PR. And it's not immoral. We might roll our eyes at it but that's all. The beneficiaries get a donation for their cause and a spotlight which may or may not lead to other donations. The donor gets to look like a good person. Everybody wins. It's a capitalist world we live in, sadly. Personally, I don't judge anyone who announces their donation as shallow/fake.

This is so cute and fluffy. I don't want it to turn dark later even though the 2ML is giving me evil wrapped in cute dimple vibes.

Now you mention it, it's actually rare to find a character express sexual desire (solely) in a healthy way. If it's not within the confines of love and romance, it's something sleazy.
