My first thought: Hyo-shim is playing along because she doesn't want to lose her job. The writers aren't trying to romanticise this delusion Tae-min has. But nope. I was wrong. The writers, in fact, are trying to cast Tae-min as romantic and his sexual assault as a "moment" between them. In the big year of our lord 2023. And the crazy part is that this episode started so well.
At this point, I don't think we're going to get a satisfactory "f-you" from Hyo-shim to her family. It's going to be redemption all around for the horrible characters and no real punishment.
And I really liked this drama. Characters aside, the acting was good and the plot had some merit. This might be it for me.
I pretty much agree with everything but hating HS for it because she clearly is held hostage by her writer atp.…
Everything you and OP said. The writers are pretty fucked up. I'm usually first to defend writers but the romantic bgm pushed me over the edge. I'm going to watch tomorrow's episode hoping for a "sike!" moment with Hyoshim otherwise I'm dropping this drama.
Pavel as Babe is just undescribably sexy. A walking thirst trap. He's always been hot but damn.
But... I can't fully get into his relationship with Charlie. It doesn't feel earned. We can tell he's in love but didn't see the process of falling in love whether it's sweet romantic moments or intense passionate moments. Feels like someone waved a wand and bam! Leads in love. As for Charlie, I can't tell if he's still acting or is in the process of falling for Babe. The character is missing some subtlety.
Yeonwoo and Sawol are scene stealers. Their scenes are utterly hilarious. The romance between Taeha and Yeonwoo…
I think he's doing a good job of showing a volatile young chaebol who hasn't received love from the elders in his life and latches onto the first person to show him unselfish affection. It might not be how it's been done before or how you envision it. Might also want to consider what you don't like is the character and not the actor's portrayal.
The screechy dancer needs to fall on her swords or something.
This show gets better with each episode. Jeong Gu Won is so cute and grumpy you forget he is a demon and then you have a scene like that one that reminds you that he kills humans without a thought. The two secretaries onscreen together make for good comedy.
The drama is not trying to be anything groundbreaking. It will be six episodes of tropes and annoying subplots (love triangle lol). But you know what it has in spades? ROMANCE. That's the genre. We watch for the romance.
How you don't watch a single episode but leave a negative comment to complain beats me.
Steven Noh is killing it as a romance ML by the way. The man is fine in every language.
Can we really call it a love triangle (at least according to the kdrama trope)? Wo Hak liked her, yes, but there was no rivalry, and he never confessed to or chased Mok Ha. Heck, they barely showed him pining for her.

Off to IG to watch reels of Babe looking hot.

Yul is such a darling. The cutest. Hope to see the actor in a bigger role soon.
