What does it have to do with popularity?How do you think television makes money?They are selling air time to advertisers.The more popular the programme,the more they have to pay.So they either have ad breaks or they advertise in the show (or both).Netflix doesn't need to do that because it makes money from it's subscriptions and I assume cable TV in the US works similarly. But most of the world doesn't use cable TV or it isn't as popular. How do you think a broadcaster on free air will earn the money?

It's a default for jdramas to be under 8.0.I will never solve that mistery as comments in the comment section are usually positive...who knows

They make money from sponsors?If they don't have any ad breaks in the middle,I think it's perfectly logical as long as it isn't excessive (like it was in the Eternal Monarch,god that was bad).

I'm sorry but why did you think Park Seo Joon would be acting in this?

I don't think the issue is him being beneath her as a person.It looks like she is financially more than secure and is what one would call high maintenance woman. It's logical for her to assume that he is not there even though she doesn't know his backround,I mean he is doing a bunch of small jobs. In real life this would hardly work,it's not about the woman expecting to be treated by the man or being a gold digger. It's about wanting to have the same lifestyle.A couple cannot be divided in two worlds.

He is generally patronising...I don't like him at all

Tbh I am having a hard time enjoying this romance because I still dislike the ML.I get it that the FL isn't perfect either,she is a snob and not the most kind at first glance be she is constantly picked about it,especially by the ML. The ML is patronising and annoying,I've met men like this and I don't find it cute.Plus,all I see is the ML being praised which is even more annoying actually. I understand that both are meant to become better and I am usually a sucker for pride and prejudice type of couples but something about how this one is written seems off to me.

Apparently there will be relationship drama next week and I imagine he will step in as always. Like others have suggested,at this point I hope he is involved in the illegal gambling and that we haven't been suffering his existence for no reason.

OK,at first I didn't mind but now I don't like that I watched half an episode about the bracelet drama.They wanted to combine comedy,mystery and young love but at this point the relationship stuff is unnecessary imo and the SML just won't stop (seriously,what the hell boy?!).I see why some people are dropping but I'm still curious so I'll keep watching. I can't say it's bad since I find it somewhat entertaining but there are some seriously bad writing choices,plus there are other hyped dramas rn.

Yes you are right I guess after rewatching with sub

Well,I don't fully understand Korean so it's not a spoiler exactly,I just have a bad habit of looking at the raws and it looks like prof. Kwon is involved in bad things...but just wait for the translation

They played us dirty

Well I'm only saying that because most japanese dramas for example are rated below 8.5 for some reason but they are still lovely.I think above 8.5 is kind of strict but that's your decision of course.The rating will change though,it's still an ongoing drama.

More than that actually,it means good.9 and 10 mean great and perfect.

Honestly I was very excited for this but I find it boring.I am not even interested watching after episode two,clearly it's lacking something for me and I don't know what it is.I haven't rated it but perhaps others also feel this way?Besides,the rating isn't bad at all.There are many dramas with a 7.5 for example that are more than watchable.8.4 means good-ish.

Somehow people are expecting it to be a masterpiece.While I admit that it could do with more humour,it's still light and entertaining.

Interesting.I haven't really noticed jdrama having this particular issue but perhaps it's because I haven't watched many romantic comedies from them.There has been only one drama I dropped because of the annoying FL.Apart from that,detective dramas for example have badass female characters.

The driving scene was so funny to me because so many people in my country drive while shouting exactly like Dong Man 🤣

I don't even understand how this behavior is supposed to change her mind?Is it a form of blackmail?Like if you don't go out with me I'll make everyone miserable?

Yes,some people were saying that his acting is wooden but I don't agree.He gives depth to his characters,it's just that he is not your best pick for cutesy roles.Have you watched Exit?The acting is very good.
