This woman legit just accepted that her son is a murderer. What kind of mother doesn't even harbour doubts despite "proof"? So quick to believe the worst of her child. I hope she ends up losing both kids. Better for them to live alone than with a parent like her. And what's that preview of her talking to Hae Yi in the car? She better not taint that sweet child with her nastiness.

In previous episodes, he had nightmares about the student who killed herself. That's why he had problems sleeping and had to see a therapist. But he didn't ask if he had forgotten her. He pointed out that Choi had stopped dreaming about her.

Quite the assumption. I'm not saying it never happens. I'm saying the expectation is that they marry from the same class.

I mean, the number of dramas with this plot - chaebol heir/heiress falls in love with someone from a lower socio-economic class, the family stands in their way. The family patriarch/matriarch tosses water or an envelope of cash etc. Most times love conquers all in the end and whatnot but it's never smooth sailing. I can name 10 dramas from the last 2 years alone.

In dramas, the chaebol kids always have to marry someone from the same social class. Or is there something I'm missing?

What exactly is Han Na's contribution to the plot of this drama because all she does is go around being a little spoilt loud brat. Park does her thinking for her. She wants to be king but doesn't really have a plan. How does a chaebol heiress not know that she can't marry just anyone she pleases? That's like basic knowledge. (edit: in dramas. Before I get my head chewed off.)

Im Siwan plays psychopath too well. Plot is super basic though.

It's the small things I love about this drama. The family teasing Haeng Seon about her relationship. Young Joo's reaction when they got 50 orders. Seon Jae racing home when his mum said she locked his brother in. The disagreement in the car. Haeng Seon might behave all shy about her relationship but standing up for herself the way she did is so her.

I don't care much for the murder plot. I'll take more scenes of the school quartet over the whodunnit moments.

"Because S. Korea has become so Internationally well known for its shows now, most anything is accepted, good, bad, or just meh."

Nope.

It's not a South Korean problem. And it's definitely not a today problem. K-dramas have always been good, bad, or just meh. In the past, the k-dramas that made it out internationally were the really good ones and that has created the impression that everything made before the current popularity k-dramas is enjoying was great. Tons of mediocre dramas were also made at the same time.

It's okay to critique a drama for its shortcomings but these sweeping generalisations? Not cool.

One thing I agree about is that there aren't enough good writers to go around. And that's a whole other conversation about talent and why talented people never reach their full potential.

Characters don't have to say profound stuff all the time. Maybe that policeman isn't the sharpest tool in the box. Maybe he said that because he's frustrated and tired. There are many other assumptions one can make. But you're making these strong statements about the writer and a whole ass country because one line in an episode of a drama, that when taken as a whole is well-written, did not challenge you intellectually.

Yes, you're wrong. Yes, you are being too sensitive. I'm assuming you're equating "international attention" to "attention from the west"? Why is the west the yardstick? Now for said west, there are so many crappy poorly written, shot and directed films/series coming out of there they should not be the standard for anything. Tons of people are turning to Korean dramas/movies because they're sick of Hollywood (using it as representative of everything coming out of the west).

Let South Koreans make the dramas and movies they want to. Let them make mediocre shit. Let them also make brilliant shit. And I hope they continue to do so putting South Korean audiences first without worrying about "international attention".

My faves are back! Everyone got a promotion but Woo Shik. lol. He should be a full-time staff by now. Can't wait to watch this show. Will defo miss Youn Yuh Jung's wit.

There is very little I didn't like about this drama. One of the better-written romances I've watched in a long time. Even the angst fit well into the plot. There were no wasted scenes (if you take out the second couple's scenes). It really takes off from ep 4.

This was Win's episode. That was some good acting. Made me so mad I wanted to smack him.

100%. I'm not feeling the drama yet but man's dimples has me in a chokehold and won't let go.

She so unpleasant. I thought they were just going to show how Top was scouted but they went full on survival show and it's only 6 episodes.

This show is going to raise my blood pressure for sure. I hate people who not only win through scrummy means but kick their opponent when they're down. Like, you would never win in a fair fight you fucking turd. Ugh. I'm so pissed and this is just the start of ep 2.

Maybe because MDL doesn't carry gossip?

I'm not surprised by this assumption. We live in a world where people only speak up about things that affect them or people they like. lmao

Not a line wasted. Not a scene wasted. The music is just right.

You know what? You're right. MDL admin, writers and users can do whatever they want. I can just avoid stuff I don't want to see and if it ever gets too bad, I can always stop coming to this website. Problem solved.

I've never been called snowflake before. Interesting that it's supposed to be an insult but I'm not offended. I do have a feeling that if I come at you with a few choice insults you'll be very offended. People who dish it out can rarely take it in my experience. 😊

There is no shortage of engaging content on MDL. Gossip is not the best way to compete/keep views up. You can't build a platform like MDL and want to "dabble" in gossip content. It might work for a while but it'll drag everything else down in the end. I really hope your guess is wrong and whoever approved this post didn't think it all the way through.
