You very obviously have not watched this drama. No one who actually watched this drama would suggest it glorified cheating. If very obviously did the OPPOSITE, with episode after angsty episode showing over and over and over again the pain, stress and emotional damage that resulted from the infidelity.

Jumping on this three week old argument just to say I think you're very aggressive and unecessarily rude.

Why force yourself to watch a show you're not enjoying? Drop it and find something else to watch - there are thousands of drama series and tens of thousands of movies you haven't seen.

WARNING - Significant spoilers in my comments below.

5 episodes in, and I'm really enjoying this drama. It's one of the best Kdramas I've watched this year. I have to say I'm glad I don't live in a country where a person's spouse is treated almost like their property, rather than a person who can choose for themselves who they want to be with.

Now that I've finished it, here are my thoughts. It is a well written and well acted drama, but it isn't an easy watch, and it is slow at times. I found it emotionally draining watching Son Ji Eun suffer episode after episode. If I had a dollar for every time she apologised, I'd be rich. The drama had a LOT of flashbacks ... too many for my liking, and I found myself skipping through them sometimes. The last episode seemed a bit rushed to me, as everyone got their happy ending, including the villians. I would have preferred Jung Woo and Ji Eun to get together before the final minute of the final episode so I could see them living happily together to compensate me for some of the emotional energy spent watching them both suffer for the majority of the previous episodes. My score: 8½/10.

She's fine with the chauvinism from the ML and the doormat response from the FL?

Spamming illegal websites is bad. Watch it on Viki.com LEGALLY.

I was hoping for a fun, fluffy rom com, but the ML is such an arrogant, entitled, condescending, sexist pig, I'm starting to lose hope that this show will be what I'm expecting. I'll hold on for now hoping for some rapid character growth which turns him into something resembling a decent human being.
Going to drop this after one episode. Sexist stalker ML with doormat FL just doesn't do it for me.

Episode 7 - 43:04 "Listen, since you promised to be my girlfriend, from now on, you just need to shut up and listen to me. Do you understand?" - Fang Leng
(Nods compliantly) "Yes" - Chai Xiao Qi

Is it the case in China that chauvinistic males and doormat females are considered 'cute'? Also, Chai Xiao Qi didn't promise to be his girlfriend. She agreed to be his FAKE girlfriend.

Episode 9 - 40:42 "From now on, you're not allowed to look at him, smile at him or even like him. You're my girlfriend. You can only look at me". - Fang Leng
Then followed it up with a *non-consensual* kiss. What a sexist pig he is. Also again, she is NOT his girlfriend. She is only PRETENDING to be his girlfriend. I understand China is a patriarchal country, but this level of chauvinism really grates on me. I really hope the screenwriter isn't a woman.

One more scene of sexist piggery and I'll be dropping this drama.
Dropped it mid-episode 10. The ML's gaslighting and chauvinism are just too much for me which is a shame, because I absolutely loved the first few episodes.

I suspect most people who saw her in "Obsessed" and "The Treacherous" weren't looking at her face.

This one is not for me. I just got too annoyed at the immaturity of the FL and the ML's sister, both of whom talked as if they were three years old. Dropped after 5 episodes.

Then why are you promoting third party websites here, and doing so with poor grammar?

Are you a bot?

This drama is not for everyone. It is a slow, thoughful and emotional drama. It makes you think and reflect on yourself and your life. Also, the OST is excellent.

This definitely is a cute and fluffy rom-com, and I did enjoy it (except for the ending). I especially thought Chen Yi Xin's acting was really good and her smile just makes me melt. However, I found Wamg Zi Xin's acting to be quite wooden. I think half of his scenes could have had him replaced with a plastic store mannequin and no one would have noticed.
My biggest criticism, which probably reflects the patriarchal nature of Chinese culture, is that the ML continuously ordered the FL around, made decisions for her and generally treated her like she was his property. He also regularly demeaned her, insulted her and was dismissive of her opinions and desires. And the FL was happy to just take all of this. This sort of door mat attitude from female characters does grate against my Western view of a relationship being an equal partnership between two people.
I hated the last episode where the ML ghosted the FL for three weeks leaving her to believe their relationship was over. Then he had the audacity to rebuke her for daring to be unhappy about it. His inconsiderate self-centredness annoyed me and Song Mi Duo deserved better. My advice to Song Mi Duo is to find someone who actually respects you and treats you as their equal, not as their property.
7/10 from me.

The first trailer for this movie didn't contain a sex scene and consequently there was little interest for the movie. They then released a second trailer that did contain a short clip from KGE's first sex scene, and the interest in the movie exploded. But I agree that in this movie, the explicitness of the sex scenes was unecessary, especially considering the character was a minor.

I hope so. I'm now 5 episodes in and the FL is still letting that obnoxious child bully her around. Why does she play along with the "games" when the owner of the house and the damaged tapestry said she owes nothing. It's like the writers just forgot that part. I can't imagine any development in the ML from this point on that could convince me that the FL would even for a second consider him as a potential romantic partner. The only way I could image it would be with a significant time skip, which I don't believe this show has. I guess I'll know after 5 more episodes.

Issei's grandmother, who owns the house and owns the tapestry that got dirtied told Hayame that she didn't have to pay anything to have it cleaned. So, she had no debt. For the life of me, I don't understand why Hayame would continue to allow Issei to bully and humiliate her with his ridiculous and immature "games".

I'm only two episodes in, but FL is absolutely taking crap from ML. He's ordering her around and treating her extremely disrespectfully, and she's just accepting it. That behaviour is closer to a doormat than a strong woman.

I've just started watching this (2 episodes in) and it I'm quite enjoying it. I'm assuming the two leads end up together, but from what I've seen so far, I could never imagine in a billion years that Hayame would even consider Issei as a potential romantic partner, as he is an arrogant, entitled, obnoxious, immature, misogonistic, disrespectful bully. (I'm far more bothered by his poor character than his age). No self-respecting adult woman would date him. I'm going to need Issei to experience some dramatic and rapid character growth and evolve into something resembling a decent human being in order to find their future romance believable.
Now I've finished 5 episodes, and there is very litttle character growth from the obnoxious child that is the ML. I'll be stunned if the writers can convince me that there could believably be a relationship between the ML and FL.
Now I've watched 8 episodes, and even though he's stopped bullying the poor nerd at school (because he was "bored" with it rather than because he realised it was wrong), stopped regularly throwing tantrums, and has even got a part time job at his family business, I'm still find it absurd that a grown woman would be interested in him. This opinion was further cemented when he confessed to her by clamping her face and kissing her non-consensually, then calling her a "silly woman" before just walking out of the room ... because obviously that's how a mature man would confess to a woman.
Just now finished the drama and the writers didn't convince me that their relationship was believable. I love noona romances, but I need the younger man to 1.) Not be still a school student when their relationship starts, and 2.) Be mature enough to earn the admiration of the older woman. But even though I found the relationship between the main characters unbelievable (and several other plot points as well), I generally found the drama to be enjoyable.
7½/10 from me.

I of course agree what she did was unconscionable and Chen Mai Dong was fully justified in being furious with her false accusation. But at least her behaviour wasn't a criminal offence, although if she made the comment publically, she would have been liable for defamation.
