I could not agree more. Well said.

I'm starting episode 11, although I'm on the verge of dropping this. There are a few thematic tropes I absolutely detest, but in the top 3 is the one where a psychiatrist goes crazy. I don't know why film makers think this is fresh, but they do. I lost my sympathy for Anne's character when her pain makes her terrorize her kids. Videoing her when she's acting out and then using the video to manipulate and threaten her is annoyingly predictable, too.

This is not the drama I wanted, where the FL reacts to the betrayal by plotting a sure-footed, coldly rational revenge. Instead, it's the one where the wife goes crazy, uses her kids as footballs, and everyone winds up in a metaphorical blood bath. Awful.

Gosh.

No one "settles for a career healing animals" because of some kind of failure to get into medical school or whatever. Vet school is difficult, expensive and not for dummies. The profession itself is extremely demanding, emotionally, and has a high suicide rate that people don't talk about.

I can tell you 1000% that few things are as offensive to vets as the idea that they became vets because they couldn't become doctors.

I'd add "Lust, Caution". This movie is NC-17, and a difficult and sometimes painful watch, but it is outstanding in every respect. Not for kids.

What an interesting and well-written comment!

I think this is not the debunking someone might hope for, though. Asperger was a Nazi, by his own admission, and the allegations of his involvement in and referrals to the clinic that conducted experiments and "euthanized" autistic children are credible.

Thank you. That's helpful!

It is kind of you to answer this so thoughtfully. Thank you.

Comment thread has almost 13,000 comments, and I'm pretty sure that one or more of the comments spoils the end, but I really can't read 13,000 comments to find out about the ending. (Not watching a Xanxia drama before I know how it ends. Too many of these end badly.)

Someone spoil the end for me, please? HE or SE?

Not to nitpick or anything, but if the FL's character is an adult (so she'll probably be shown drinking soju or beer because it's a Kdrama afterall, right?) calling her a "girl" instead of referring to her as a woman is already starting off on a back foot, yes?

If he learned Japanese from his mother when he was very young, learning a 3rd language (Thai) would not be difficult, but I wonder if someone who graduated college with a degree in math and statistics isn't pretty damn smart to start with? What an impressive person!

Aw, heck. I liked it. It was weak as hell in too many places. But the cast was beautiful and one or two of the romances were engaging and almost exciting.

The basis of the show is 6 beautiful bad boys who redeem themselves because they fall in love. Aw.

Oh, dear. I shall only watch it 3 or 4 times, then.

Can't bring myself to watch the last 8 episodes, ever since the episode with the random nun. Pretty sure it isn't worth it to finish it, either. Gosh. How do you make a show that starts out so great and then write it so bad, the audience wants to push the screenwriter out of a window? These dopes are ruining weekend dramas.

*scuttles out of room muttering "nope nope nope"*

The synopsis is rubbish, though.

The point of the show is how people can create and grow love when they're very busy trying to make a living, so it takes a while after the leads meet to become an official couple, but really, that's what the whole show is about. There is no break up, no love triangles, and the annoying exes are a very small part of the show.

This is not a youth drama, and it isn't cute and fluffy. The leads are mature, and both characters are in very demanding professions.

This is quite good, and an example of a Cdrama done right. It's realistic without being grim or gritty. The leads have chemistry, which grows over time, as does your appreciation for the story and pace of the show. In its own way, the show is uplifting.

I don't know yet what this version is like, but isn't there something fantastic about a drama that's been imported into so many countries and languages from a version that originated in a different hemisphere? And each country makes it their own. So cool.

The details make sense, if you only wanted to know about the show's characters. If you were wondering about the show's plot, nope.
