I laughed way too hard when I saw they used WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” belt as his boxing championship belt. Did the production crew think no one would notice? Or did they lose the real prop and panic-buy one from the nearest toy shop?😂 Anyone else notice that?
Damn I hate this... I binged 8 eps at once and now I have to wait for last two... I love watching dramas while…
I undestand your pain, and I knew I'd feel the same way which is why I've been waiting for the drama to completely finish before starting it. Especially with this drama, since it's only releasing 1 episode a week, it would be pure torture having to wait for a only a single episode per week after starting it.
I commented before and you told me to wait until episode 7 before watching, but I just wanted to check again now…
I’ve just been seeing way more clips of Bom and Tae Yang together than her and Sa Gye, so I’ve been kinda confused. But yeah, I’m definitely not watching this until all 10 episodes are out. I don’t wanna get all stressed after she somehow ends up with Tae Yang.
Has the SML done anything romantic for the FML based on the last 7 episodes or was he just the standard green…
I commented before and you told me to wait until episode 7 before watching, but I just wanted to check again now that the new episode has been released. How are things looking between Sa Gye and Kim Bom? I'm probably going to have wait until all 10 episodes are out before watching as I dont want to watch a drama that will end up like Love Alarm. The clips I’ve been seeing make it seem like she has feelings for Tae Yang and might end up with him. Or is that not the case?
Btw, in this comment I'm only talking about the romance in this drama, not the plot itself. I actually really enjoyed the plot and the silliness, since that kind of thing is exactly my type of thing. But this comment is purely about how frustrating I found the romantic side of the story for Min Jae and Ju Ha. Everything else outside of that was great.
Ok, so I started watching this mainly for Min Jae and Ju Ha, but I was greatly disappointed and frustrated with this pair. They simply didn’t have enough romantic scenes together to be shippable. Ju Ha had far more screentime and banter with Mark, which didn’t help matters. Honestly, it would’ve made much more sense if she’d ended up with him instead of Min Jae.
There was only one kiss scene between Min Jae and Ju Ha, and that didn’t even happen until the final episode. That made it even more frustrating, especially when Tae Ho and Se Yeon were practically kissing in every episode. It just highlighted how much more attention their romance received, while Min Jae and Ju Ha were clearly treated as a side couple.
I enjoy a good slow burn, but this was just a complete letdown. Most slow burns still offer romantic development throughout the drama. In this case, though, any signs of a connection only appeared in the final episode. I couldn’t even pinpoint the moment Ju Ha actually fell for Min Jae. Aside from the spark in the sit-up scene, which stood out, everything else between them felt flat. Their romance didn’t work for me... it felt forced and unnatural.
What really bothers me is that just as the drama ended, their relationship was only beginning to take shape even though that should've been the point where their romance should have been reaching its peak, not just starting. I understand this isn’t a romance-focused drama, but they could have at least given Min Jae and Ju Ha a similar pacing to Tae Ho and Se Yeon. I’d have been satisfied with that. Instead, we were left with scraps right at the very end.
This reminded me so much of John Wick, with a similar trope where the main lead is feared by everyone, and the guy he's getting revenge on has a father who's furious because his son messed with the wrong person but still tries to protect him as best he can. Am I the only one who thought of this? At least, that's the vibe I'm getting one and a half episodes in.
Fml ends up with the Ml, she is in love with him and not the sml there is no chance unless a love alarm is pulled
I havent started watching this so I have no clue who the ML is or who the SML is haha, i'm guessing Ha Yu Jun is the ML? I really hope it doesnt pull the Love Alarm move though.
Who will she end up with? Does anyone know? I haven't watched it yet, and I know it's not finished, but I'm curious who you all think she'll end up with.
Totally disagree. I can count on one hand the 16 ep series in the last 5 years that were solid the ENTIRE run.…
The statement "I can count on one hand the 16-episode series in the last 5 years that were solid the ENTIRE run" is more of an opinion than a fact. Personally, I can name far more than just a handful, but everyone will have their own view on this, so there’s not much I can say about it.
I totally get what you're saying though, but I don’t think the problem is the 16-episode format itself. It’s more about weak writing or poor planning. When done well, 16 episodes give enough space to fully develop characters and let the story breathe. The solution shouldn’t be to shorten everything just because some writers can’t handle longer formats. Instead, the standard of writing needs to improve. I'd take a well-paced 16-episode drama over a rushed 8-episode one that barely scratches the surface any day.
honestly I would say it depends on the plot and the storyline some 16 episodes dramas just get way too boring…
That’s true, it depends on the story. Some 16-episode dramas drag with too much filler, so 12 can work better. But if the plot’s rich, shorter formats can feel rushed. It’s all about finding the right balance.
I agree. Everyone is trying to condense into this 6-8-10 episode format that streaming companies love to put out…
Exactly! There was a time when trimming a couple of episodes felt necessary, but now it has gone too far the other way. These 6 to 12 episode dramas often feel rushed or underdeveloped, with barely enough time to explore the characters or relationships properly.
