Thank you 🙏🏻

This is the most accurate summation of this series I have ever read.

Bless you

Uea does make for a cute kitty but I was disappointed that there was nothing in the way of any further play in his kitty persona. What a tease these writers are.

OMG this post is hilarious

LOL this post.

I have not watched that drama… I have about 20 shows on my watch list….so little time 😔

What Korean drama is this most similar to? I am wondering if I should watch it?

Nope. It’s the weakest part of the story. The screenwriter Kim Eun-sook wrote Goblin /Guardian: The Lonely and Great God; an epic romance. She seems to put romance into her screenplays even when it doesn’t really fit. Moon Dong-eun and Joo Yeo-jeong are better suited as comrades and confidants.

Agreed. Well thought out from start to finish. Was riveting to watch.

Such a satisfying series. It washed away Song Hye’s stinky performance in Now We Are Breaking Up (a dreadful drama). She usually has resting fish mouth but she did a great job of a woman hell bent on revenge with bits of crazy, and a icy cold detachment. I wish they showed more of her scars and her skin as she really committed to the role by losing weight. The weakest part of the series was the romance. No need for it - they were fine as allies and confidants, otherwise an amazing script and cast.

Some people are incapable of accepting love despite it being presented like a gift. Hira is one of these people. It seems so simple all he needs to do is accept. He can’t fathom that his most beloved would love him. It’s the definition of tragedy.

Really? Of course there are. As a human being there are all types of people. There are people born of trauma, of anxiety and extreme shyness & social awkwardness like Hira. Both of these characters are not perfect which makes the series compelling.

Agreed. This is a complicated love story, that’s why its excellent.

I disagree. I don’t think he objectifies him. I think he lacks the emotional maturity to meet Kiyoi face-on as an adult so he hides behind a fan and sunglasses. He is a tragic character who has no self-worth, deserving of pity.

This is how Hira conveys “safe” love for Kiyoi - it may seem frustrating but it’s fascinating. He doesn’t have the maturity or self worth to meet him as an equal so he hides in the shadow behind glasses and a fan. He is a tragic character worthy of empathy.

Deliciously frustrating. Here’s hoping for an awakening between the.

Hira is a frustrating character which is why so many people dislike the series. He has no self love. He can’t accept Kiyoi’s love and attraction even though it’s staring at him right in the face. It’s heartbreaking when he doesn’t recognize how he’s insulted Kiyoi by not wanting him to meet his parents. Ironically Hira can’t truly love Kiyoi until he loves himself first. Self love can’t be imbued.

This has all the high cheese of Unforgotten Night with a bit of extra steamy bedroom action thrown in. I see no white tigers but when you see an old dame in crazy glasses I am SOLD! Sign me up for this one!!!

Agreed. He is a ridiculous character. It’s hard to believe him.
