Very well made kdrama. Exceeded my expectations for it.

You would probably cut off all your friends because they didn't deserve and fit your idealistic perfect vision of what friend must be.

CEO is the only friend he has that actually potentially cares for him and while he may not be ideal he is still there for him when needed as of now.

CEO is pragmatic and moraly gray so his logical approach may come off unlikeable to some people who expect character to be idealistic care free bubblehead.

I like his character because it makes for someone in that position to act like that or he wouldn't be as there. Idk how many people here don't understand that just because someone straight up isn't basically caricature of moral pure made up non exsistent person doesn't mean they are some evil master mind but actual real person.

I am not saying I like them but it's not like I won't watch next episode because of it is what I am saying..

I had ex who threatened me with self harm if I ignore her. Some people try anything to cling onto you and can't move on or see there are other options. Problem with Syaon is she thinks ML is her only chance for love so she got it twisted and does desperate stuff for attention. I must say it doesn't help that it's effective tactic to keep people around and make them doubt or guilt trip. It's very emotionally straining and if you try and break from it you could blame yourself if something actually happen.

Some form of manipulation was common in my past relationships but it was mostly when I was in 14-20 so it's a little more understandable to pull some stupid stuff as kids with hormone overload.

I don't know if its translated proper to english. Maybe in Korean sentence is structured different for that to make sense but saying you didn't kill someone is still true if they are alive so that makes no sense to be a lie. So it's either translation is not accurate or something else.

Cliffhangers work that's why you see them. Big majority of people don't drop series they are hooked on because of minor annoyance of cliffhanger on the other hand it keeps many more to keep watching who were on the fence or enjoying it.

I don't think what he does is reporter job. Atleast in my country you are definitely breaking ethical codex doing this and that guy even breaking some laws.

But it is something someone at magazine would do or paparazzi and I don't consider those reporters.

This is just wrong and not at all plausible if you take into account everything that was shown so far.

Is this like actually good or is it like all the 9+ rated cdramas that disapointed me ?

Nah oscars were always bought by studios.

Minus the incarnate

Just because she has bad personality and is a spoiled streamer doesn't mean she deserved to get kidnapped, tortured, harassed, etc. for days and then after possibly getting killed. You can even see how she reacts to being touched and she might be even more sour person after that experience. She even tried suicide. Sure she is not nice but she definitely doesn't deserve any of it but her character is also partially written kinda badly for a victim.

Well you clearly can't read the room. Date is not even important here, it was just a nudge about the update on review after recent episodes. You didn't see original review because it was changed after this and that one clearly indicated it was written before watching later episodes.

Also I just tested and I can't see review date using browser on phone but there is a date when I load it on desktop. I use this website on phone.

This is what happens when something gets very successful and they make a sequel to milk it that no longer has well made planned story to tell. So you get bunch of filler nonsense with barely any progression and more of the same stuff.

Well writting gets worse the more you watch until you end up with plot holes, questions not answered and unsatisfying conclusion, oh and ML dies even tho story allows ton of variation where he didnt need to die for no reason. Or atleast he could die and come back but he doesn't. Idk why this was even marketed as romcom.

Also FL is useless and just depends on everyone else and side leads are getting more annoying with each episode.

Watch anime then and you will see movie adaptation was subpar.

I also don't get why so many people try to make CEO be bad when everything he has done so far indicates he is good.

This drama has ton of established antagonists already so I don't think they will make some kind of out of nowhere plot twist with ML only kinda work friend considering everything they built on so far indicates the opposite.

I think it's barely anyone defending this. Its big majority negative reaction.

2 female lead prob makes more money for him then ML now even if she switches producer. He has ton of signed artists. Him having ml around is just liability for him and he does it anyway and his brother doing shady stuff doesn't mean ceo is bad. In fact he scolds and tries to keep brother in check so idk what you are on about that.

Him being parent it's not about him being good but about him juggling responsibilities and still taking time for ML and take care of him.

I don't think ML owns the company based on how the other artist that doesn't like him act towards him and he probably doesn't want it in registry because his real name can be tied to the company then and idk if he can be silent partner. If he has any ownership of the company it doesn't really matter in this case anyway and there was no indication of him being one.

I didn't see any of his actions being shady and everything he has done so far points towards him being good. I can't think of 1 negitive thing he did that would indicate him being bad.

I genuinely think you are focusing on wrong person 🤣

Your argument for him being bad is he seems sus based on old roles he played and him being nice is alterior motive even tho nothing indicates that. I don't really know the actors so I have no preconceived bias on that. These dramas usually have undertone tell about deception and I didn't see anything here and let's say you are somehow right about CEO keeping him in check because of success of his company and keeping ton of people employed that still wouldn't make CEO a bad guy. And ML without being employed as artist would have way worse quality of life then CEO not having him.

You need to look at this as overall outside observer not from perspective of ML.

Also there are already plenty of established antagonists for ML that can create enough drama so adding his only kinda friend in there that could otherwise create more wholesome moments in future just makes no sense for show like this.
