Hollywood, Kdrama are predictable, cliches, riddled with scenes that are inconceivable.LOTR, Rambo, Mission Impossible:…
I didn't argue the script and editing was coherent . These are slightly above the Hallmark Channel in production. I expect for most people, this is simply an escape from reality and we don't get into the weeds for realism.
Garbage. Remove romance from the genre immediately. There's absolutely none at all except for one kiss in the…
At close range, their is no pause, you shoot b/c it broke your personal space (imminent danger) but Hollywood, Kdramas are not based upon realistic outcomes. Absurdities, inconceivable are the norms in make believe.
Wait I hope the child first love of FL isn't ML because it would be weird, she only saw him once and he was crying…
Are you knew to Kdramas? This is their formula Queen of Tears, Sixth Sense, Castaway Diva, Destined With You, Its Okay to Not Be Okay, Just Between Lovers, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.... to list a few.
I like his ways of solving problems :) Like in Lawsless Lawyer... if you cannot win in the ring, make sure you…
These are unrealistic: a celebrity, wealthy person can be tried in the courts, public opinion and lose support/wealth. (Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard) It takes time.
Justin Baldoni vs Ryan Reynolds/Blake Lively. * Unfolding.
The lawyer correctly understood, moving Chess pieces (allies) backing the CEO instead of a frontal assault, relying on Judiciary, Law enforcement alone. The CEO outsmarted them before with his ex-wife, nanny already.
The shady investors kidnapped him, broke him to make him docile in the Court. The investors were ripped off by the CEO and secured their money before handing him over to face Justice for the child abuse, fraud.
While I completely see where you're coming from, and agree to a certain extent, it still doesn't justify a hatred…
Entertainment industry don't make realistic dramas. Re read the post about their lens growing up in a dysfunctional family. Both of them had very jaded views of others in general.
He was drawn to her strange behaviour, this pattern is used most dramas.
The dating era was compressed, fabricated because of the gay scandal.
They didn't have time, we see he's consumed by her visiting her at all times when they start dating.
Almost immediately, another scandal breaks of her being a bully forcing her to publicly reject his proposal and break up in order to protect him.
There's almost no time in the romcom to a normal life.
He's a recluse, he doesn't go to parties or date.
His only friend is the President of the Talent agency.
I guess that’s why most people here prefer Kdramas over Western dramas.We want the FL to be sure about the ML,…
You could have predicted who would be the couple at each of those dramas if you watched enough. These aren't complicated.
Ninety nine per cent of time its main leads ends up together, secondary leads provide angst, back story for the leads.
Itaewon Class: 2nd FL took the money/scholarship/employment rewards from the protagonist. She ultimately came around and turned on him, the FL did the opposite and put the ML ahead of herself. She gave up safe easy life for a high risk job, turned down job offer from protagonist.
Understanding they didn't put too much backstory in their trauma, but the breadcrumbs were laid out if you watch enough of these to see why they were both blocked from developing an authentic relationship.
At a young age, watching his mother treat his father callously for losing his wealth, car accident and remarrying a wealthy male in less than two years. He was also betrayed by his first love in college to protect her rising fame. You don't see scenes/ discuss his family (mother, step father or stepbrother, sisters)
Fake relationship Couch confession about his broken family, ex-girlfriend came later.
She grew up in a house, that saw her routinely mother berated. An elderly senior bothered young girls from walking to school, her response was to train to end that. She discovered her one sided crush was a bully in school. In her pursuit to be unaffected by dating jerks, independent, she became a self professed vigilante of male jerks.
Both broke through each other's wall. A hate for each other's sex was accurate.
Setting aside Hollywood, Kdrama are not realistic. A 110lb professional MMA fighter/champion will not beat up six men. Rambo winning against 100 Russians (this isn't reality).
There is some disease going on within k drama writer mind....My lovely nemesis and this drama male lead were shown…
Simp may be too critical of those male leads. MLM is a grandson (very young) put in charge of a department and falls for the mean girl. These are not realistic to begin with but guys falling for the strange girl, girls falling for the bad guy isn't uncommon. The young man has been playing a dual life, hiding his feelings for music, hentai from his grandmother. FL discovers his secret life and protects him so they both become connected to each other.
This is my least favourite kind of kiss because it's so one sided. He's kissing her rather than them kissing each…
This is the most common kiss after a confession, the pause by the other person is natural because they are still processing what just occurred.
Both are interested in each other and have shown physical intimacy through glances, celebratory hugs, wrist, hand grabs, gifting, flashbacks of each other and banter. This is moving faster than most Kdramas.
FL already told the celebrity chef (fake ex-gf), they would sort it out, drawing a line.
I thought the same until the last minute of the episode, i just think that came from nowhere as they haven't developed…
If you're paying attention, the camera (director) writer, actors are showing you the glances, pauses, flashbacks they are having of each other. This isn't sudden or shocking if you're a seasoned watcher of these dramas.
Or you're clueless about that distance doesn't help relationships for most couples.Yeol being anxious because…
Re read your post, you make several assertions, you fail to make a coherent argument, you now seem to do a 180 on most of your flawed observations by conceding on it.
No one suggested any character is perfect, many of us understand flaws, mistakes are written to create tension for the couple to end together. The prediction is a guess, I don't have access to the finished script/drama. The guess is based upon experience of watching a hundred of these shows. (that's it Sherlock)
You cited Groupthink blaming Yeol, the same pattern in the comments can be applied to each character. That's not a cogent argument. (AGAIN)
You can guess what the writer/director/actor were doing including misdirection.
Many seasoned watchers have predicted they end up together in spite of all their mistakes and bumps along the way. You don't have to be on team Yeol or team Ji-won either to interpret the breadcrumbs.
"He is similar to how k dramas used to portray men in the 2000s and I figured we’d moved past that toxic masculinity portrayal but clearly not with Yeol."
Made me laugh out loud, thanks....
If you take Hollywood/Kdrama (any era) as realistic, you're not qualified to comment on these stories. These are and have NEVER been linked to reality in any ERA.
This is why they have disclaimers for people like you. This is a FICTIONAL story with everything being exaggerated.
This isn't a story based upon a best seller or a masterpiece. This is closer to furniture from IKEA, stop expecting much more.
Perhaps you should stick with better stories/scripts.
LOTR, Rambo, Mission Impossible: overhearing critical information at a cafe, restaurant at the precise moment to propel the story.
You have to suspend critical thinking skills in order to submerse yourself in the made up story.
You can watch a documentary, sporting event, paint dry if believing in Santa Claus is too much.
A brief respite from reality with, a good book, film, tv show is acceptable.
Absurdities, inconceivable are the norms in make believe.
Queen of Tears, Sixth Sense, Castaway Diva, Destined With You, Its Okay to Not Be Okay, Just Between Lovers, What's Wrong With Secretary Kim.... to list a few.
Too much starch in your panties? Romance isn't defined as two people having intimacy ONLY.
Stop watching the Hallmark channel.

You can find gems with a smaller budget, fresh faces but the odds are stacked against them on achieving commercial success.

These cliches, tropes are built-in to every Hollywood, Kdrama.
Falling being caught, umbrella, wrist pull, one sided crush, awkward moments, misunderstandings?
We fall for the same series of cliches because it requires we suspend our cognitive skills to watch these fantasies.

You seem to be very angry by the depiction of males in 2000, hence you're compulsion of the label toxic masculinity.
Was it the TV hit show Mad Men that broke you?
Is it low self-esteem, will power that had you to watch the tenth, rational people stop watching something they don't enjoy?
This wasn't a Jane Austin series, Korean entertainment is doing fine.

These funny, irrational stories regarding romance play out for every demographic including over fifty.
These are meant to entertain us, as a bonus a nugget of wisdom may be learned.
