Good grief, Koreans don't seem to have even 30% emotional intelligence, even when they're over 30 or 35, or 40. They dont know how to kiss at 35, in any drama, they dont know ro be in a relationship not evan in a drama.
She has no clue how a relationship works; she treats the male lead so badly. If I were in his shoes, I would have given up on such a pathetic woman. She’s rejected him a thousand times and she is even narcissistic at times.
He treats her so well, communicates clearly—he’s a total "green flag"—yet she still rejects him. How on earth can someone be so stupid and treat a good man like that—a man who loves and values you, communicates clearly about what he wants, and has a purpose in life? It’s simply pathetic. These relationships im kdramas are so toxic... Do these Koreans have any idea what a relationship is like at 30, 35, or 40, or do they just stay stupid and pathetic until they're 70?
He is so emotional inteligent at his age, 27. And she at 38 has to remain with her work and that's it. I cant stand this victim mentality.
This is the pattern of a masculin toxic woman. She has 0 femininity. I was so sad for him.
There’s a saying: real life beats the movies. I don’t even want to imagine what intimate relationships are like in Korea. This ilussuon of childhood relationship is just for teenagers for mature people is gross.
All the dramas this year were set in the countryside. Boring and uninteresting. Pretty much all the actors were super talented, though. A disappointing year.
I hope this series won't be another flop. Ji Chang-wook, I hope you choose quality script and innovation. You are so talented. Cross fingers 🤞
The first time I watched this series, I didn't like it. But for lack of anything good (since all Korean dramas lately have been flops), I decided to watch it again and give it another chance.
Yes, it has an interesting, captivating story. It’s beautifully made, with a superb OST and great actors.
Yet, even now, I don't feel any sense of satisfaction.
There is a total lack of communication; the spouses lie to each other. I found that horrible. This game they play—this constant emotional immaturity—annoyed and bored me. I would have liked them to be smart and united. It’s just so much toxicity wrapped in a package that looks nice and pleasant.
It’s unbearable to watch. So much of a victim mentality, a lack of self-esteem and self-worth, and self-degradation from these two women—it’s not my cup of tea.
I was gonna watch this drama as soon as it fully air but I was going to start the show I stumbled on a post in…
My opinion is that is the worst drama of this year. A propaganda for female false empowering choosing a career instead of love, partnerships and connections in life. For me is also an ego statement from her. He was there for her to suport her, to work togheter, to love eachother. He reallylived her. Everything was a chaos for me, also the others couples, and the toxicity in this drama is huge. For me was a disappointment. I just watch till the end for ML. I think was so much talent wasted, so many cute and good actors for this bad story. And also I dont see any chemistry between the main leads. I want to erase from my memory this series.
A lot of abuse victims just want to move on. It's understandable that Soo Bin's mom doesn't want to spend years…
I think is full here with more people with delusional thinking.
Many that used to give others unsolicited advise, suggesting they are wrong or need a, b, c, this is called gaslighting, by the way.
Many here suffer from emotional invalidation syndrome, or—more severely—are experts at gaslighting.
If you look with open mind at the comment section.
And I think also many are here just to pick debats with others if their comments don't align with their theories, or persceptions.
I just write my comment on the drama. Many people just want to share their feelings, beleives, stories, perceptions, or want to make others think like their own thinking.
RED FLAG Why is abuse so normalized in dramas?!?! Why isn't a healthy stance taken—so that people watching who are going through similar things might find the courage to ask for help? Why the silence? Why isn't the police called?!?! Why?!?! Why do so many children go through such hardships, while the adults around them make things worse instead of offering support?
I can't stand this in Korean dramas anymore. RED FLAG
So much of the drama is dedicated to abuse, yet only 1% focuses on resolution, help, emotional and mental healing, or harmonious relationships.
There is so much abuse, and forgiveness is the trend in all these dramas... but abuse like this isn't healed by forgiveness... neither the abusers nor the victims find healing that way...
I really cant stand the asian parents... In some TV series, they are obsessed with getting their children into prestigious schools; in others, they are simply destructive—emotionally, physical and mentally abusive toward their children... I just don't know what to think of it—are all parents in Korea crazy and abusive?! And how they still like, forgive stay with their abusive parents.... this FHATER in my opinion should have been reported to the police... The pressure that teenagers have is outrageous... maybe this is why they behave like teenagers in their 30th old as they dont have any chilhood...
The drama has all the patterns that have existed in dramas. Dont like FL character... It doesn't really catch me, she is exaggerating in every move.. there's something so fake about it.
I wonder if people learn something from the dramas... for the better and harmonious relationship and life lessons.
Hwang InYoup I hope to see you in a good , unique drama one day. Hope the best script and director for you, for your look, for your voice, for your deep talent.
Sorry, but I dropped this one after 4th episode... so many romantic, comedy, disappointed series this year... I hope also koran dramas to become better, inspiring and magnetic ...
The last two episodes ruined the drama for me. He ignored her for 3 years and then magically appears and she's…
My perspective is that She was not in love with him. She just wanted to save him, becouse she had trauma with her farher. And she was to pushy, to attach and to obsessed of healing and save him. She was kind of people pleasure person. How you can have a healty amd empowered relationship with a woman like that. In my opinion any true man does not want this from a woman. I did not like at all their "romance".
The vibe that the prosecutor and the lady that accused him of murder gives is persecution, Inquisition. Witch hunting... so, if you have your own opinion your own judgement you are a threat for others. Omg... cant belive the modern with hunt that is also transferred under own eyes also in 2026....
hope this prosecutor and the lady are the one burned at the stake... or maybe to see a door in order to see the truth , the love, the healing.
I can't stand FL. She has a look of pity, non-stop as if she's in pain... she acts as if ML is stupid, helpless and she's quite obsessed and emotionally disturbed..she's not in love, she's obsessed and carried by the wound, by the trauma that her father almost died. She doesn't laugh, she doesn't live, she doesn't enjoy... non-stop you say she's suffering and on her deathbed... would a man really fall in love with such a woman... I don't think so...
Is so strange to watch how people love to destroy others and focusing on negative ... I think this is the way koreans still destroy celebreties, ordinary people ... focusing on destroying them with all they have, because they dont know love, they are unhappy and full of trauma.
Only the weak people, like to destroy others.
This doctor saved more people then the weak others. Is the same like in The trauma code... only the doctors that dont love, understand the patience and are not to good at what they are doing, or they are nit devoted to their work are nit there to work and only whant to destroy the doctors rhat loved their work, to save people.
Why cant be a doctor if he doesn't feel pain. Like what?!?! Omg this is crazy... I cant stand anymore the korean bullshit...
starting slowly slowly to dislike korean dramas... to much toxic behavior ... bullying everywhere misogyny, luck of privacy , of boundary s, emotional immature, the behavior of intimacy at 35 in played like innocence, shy, the females are anorexic and behave like teenagers and men enjoing this... like pedophiles profile... and so much more... not il all k dramas... but starting to notice the patterns and the illusion is dropping... and all that I see als on online is more and more a no.
Cant believe we are in 2026 and in a drama a 33 old woman with a 34 old man dont know to kiss and act like teenagers.... or in Korea at 34 actually, you have 24 or even 14. I know that this innocence is magnetic and beautiful but still... you have 34....
I like his acting a lot, she is beautiful. the FL is unbearable to watch her character is awful in the first episodes, she is not good for romance... she doesn't act naturallyat all.. I love the village people... I adore the trio sisters.
I love Seo In Guk, I always loved everything he did. And I love slowburn romance, mature relationships etc. This…
I think you felt drained because this is not a mature relationship, is a toxic relationship l, where he is a mature one and she is in love with confusion, negative thinking, drama, she is emotional imature and she does not love him. I agree with you, the chemistry is 0 and he is to good for this story.
I couldnt past how ridiculous her approach to her first relationship was. How immature unrealistic silly and unbelievable…
I so agree with what you've shared. She is so emotional imature. And no time to heal herself at all and starts a new relationship that she does not deserve. He is to good for her. It was unbearable to watch how she treated the ML. I dropped after 8th episode.
I think many good leads are stupid to fall in love with a character like this. And he fights for this woman... wtf...
I don't like FL's character at all. Even the makeup doesn't help, she looks 20 years older than she is. She is absolutely unbearable, and EMOTIONALLY immature. She is so dramatic, negatively all the time, she is so toxic. why most of womenact like children, why don,t act like grown adults. So tired of this. I would love to see women and men that inspire us emotional, mental, creative... I was waiting to see this series. now, o mega disappointed in k land.
She is so weak, does not trust herself, does not trust him, he does not empower him at all... so much drama... she need a lesson from her friend the SML, I love this couple.
He is good, balnced, with a good behaviour. In reality a masculine man would never like a woman like her. Never ever.
I hope people dont think this is mature or romantic. Is not. Is toxic, trauma behaviour. Like she said about herself she is a disaster. She needs therapy not a boyfriend or a husband.
I liked this drama, both actors where good, and liked their chemistry. Better than many others that have a high rating. It's nothing new, special, a simple drama but I watched it in one day. Which for me means something captivating, I really enjoyed watching it. I think it could easily have been 12 episodes. Developing emotional maturity and overcome trauma is huge inspiration on this simple, lovely drama.
