Lee Sung Cheon is one of the better-written characters I've seen in a k-drama recently. He conveys the complexity of human behaviour, weakness and strengths. There is a logic to his actions when you look at his past, also bearing in mind that at 18 he's at the cusp of adulthood. What I like though is that he tries to take some control of his life and accepts the repercussions for his actions when they appear.
Hwang Tae Yong on the other hand is passive, floating through life. And tbh he can't be any other way given how much he's been physically and emotionally abused. Now add the confusion brought on by Sung Cheon changing his life twice and it's a mess. What I'd like to see is him becoming a more active part of his own life, whether good or bad. Just do something.
The worst-written characters for me are the dad, uncle and Oh Yeo Jin. Their motivations are unclear and they're just evil because the plot needs certain characters to be evil. Too one-dimensional. Na Ju Hee is so boring, I couldn't care less about her.
But... it's still ep 5 and everything I think could turn on its head and then we'll have some real drama. *rubs hands in glee*
What’s your take, guys, on this “friends to lovers with giant 20 years gap” type of plot? Realistic or fantasy?…
Especially when they depict it as if the one pining has not had other relationships in that time and has just been there waiting. Like, not one other person in 17/20 years moved your heart? Fantasy.
They might have had similar situations and both reacted with less awkwardness and moved on from it because they're not in the place emotionally to have the same reaction as they did in ep 2.
He's so obviously smitten with her. Even without the puppy eyes, it's clear he puts her first.
Was beginning to like the blind-date girl but she's doing the "I'm going to be different, I'm going to change him" thing and that's hella irritating. Just hope they don't make her a two-faced calculating bitch. Want to see some healthy above-board "competition".
Love to hate that mean director. Love how openly mean she is. Hate how mean she is.
Friends to lovers? Check. Choi Siwon's dimples? Check. I'm all over this drama like ants on sugar. It's going to be chock-full of tropes and predictable and I'm going to love every minute of it.
Really liked how the ML got called out on his BS in ep 1. In k-dramas characters often get away with being asshats and their misbehaviour is excused and swept under the rug.
Enjoying this so much. Was worried it'd be dark after the first couple episodes but they have the lightheartedness in and it rocks. The plot is all over the place but the humour at all of those places work. Even the SML is growing on me.
Being typecast isn't necessarily a bad thing. So long as the actor delivers the roles, enjoys playing them and gets paid. I've seen PMY in a few romantic FL roles and this is the funniest character so far. That's an important difference, for me, even if I can see the similarities with those previous characters she's played.
The characters's personality do resemble the original MARCH SISTERS though. Jo March was always vocal, bold, outspoken,…
I get you but it's not near enough to make a connection with the book. It's frayed-to-death thread tenuous. Saying they borrowed the title would have been enough imo. It's just really funny to see that line on the page every time. lol.
In hye is mentally strong but her strong personality rubs me wrong sometimes tbh. She feels a bit selfish to me…
She is selfish and is honest about it. And still in that selfishness finding practical ways to protect her friend and her sisters. In Kyung is still stuck in a hypocritical loop of "I'm doing this for others."
I usually like righteous characters but In Kyung rubs me the wrong way with her naivety. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty in a fight like this. That's why In Hye is my star girl. She's the only one with the guts and will it takes to face and beat Won Sang A. Will not be surprised if she sticks her with a hairpin or knife.
Ep 3 and I'm liking Go Kyung Pyo portrayal of Ji Ho. Used to seeing him play more exuberant characters so this is a nice change. Chemistry with PMY is also good but then good chemistry with her co-stars is not a problem she ever has. 2ML is annoying but only a little. For now. I hope they don't introduce any unnecessary angst.
I hate how so many comments for this drama are focused on PMY's looks. Fat or thin you really cannot win with people having opinions on what's healthy and what's not when they have no fucking idea about your life or your medical records. And all the faux concern? E-w-w. (Now, if you've made such a comment and feel the need to defend yourself, please don't bother. You're a good person and are just concerned about her health. -_-)
this drama might get negative ratings and low viewership after PMY dating news.
This comment is so bloody unnecessary. How is this relevant to this drama? How??? Keep this kind of gossip in the trash where it belongs. And even if it turns out to be true and you absolutely cannot help but talk about it, take it to the actor's page.
Recovering from an illness so I'm really weak but I just expended all my energy laughing as Ji Ho pushed away Sang Eun after contorting himself to wear his slippers so he doesn't let go of her. That bit of comedy is worth the entire episode.
