I am sorry this feels like a chat now... but I find funny that everyone is talking about "rumors" of the female lead cheating on the male lead... I mean... she did not cheat, like in the sense of kissing the other and stuff, but she actually left with the other guy... just saying... I would not say it is only a rumor... Lol

I have another question... in the ending credits, there is a scene were it seems like the secondary male lead is forcing himself on the female lead, and actually kisses her. What can you tell me about that?

Thank you for the heads up! I do not fast forward or skip often, but I made the mistake of doing too much research on this one, so it was impossible for me to just watch the show without making sure that I would enjoy it!

There is only one complain for me, and is not only about this show, but a specific trope! Let's try to understand the misunderstanding, and that the female lead believes that the male lead does not want to be with him, but why does this mean automatically that she has to go to the secondary male lead... can't she just go to her hometown with her brother or guards? why does she have to go and basically be in a relationship with someone that she does not want to..?

I have seen this in too many dramas, and I never understand this... but I guess they use this trope because it "works"...

I have failed! And I thank you for this info because I ended up super fast forwarding and skipping until episode 17!

I will be waiting for them! Thanks!

Thank you for your reply! I am now on episode 4, and ready to fast forward and skip a lot, since I am here for the romance!

I have been doing some research, and it seems like the whole love triangle arc lasts from episode 11 to episode 18, it seems like the SML crosses the lines too many times in too many ways! From too much screentime with the FL to completely disregarding the fact that the ML is married with the Fl and literally crossing the line of actively pursuing the FL like she was single...

What can you tell me about the Love Triangle, and especially the 11 to 18 arc? Please feel free to spoil as much as you want about this arc, since I plan to skip the hell out of it.. Lol.

I was not brave enough to watch this! But I am finally trying!

This time I laughed a lot with your review since I have done my homework, and know about everything that happens in the show, including the stupid and unnecessary love triangle and misunderstandings that will last for at least 5 to 7 episodes, with a secondary male lead that just gets on your nerves disregarding the fact that the girl is already married, and that he is in her husband's territory, but well... this is not new in love triangles, is just a variance of childhood friend who acts like he is the boyfriend and even blocks the actual boyfriend...

The only thing that really upsets me about this trope is when the female lead does not set boundaries, and keeps allowing this other guy to disrespect the male lead and their relationship.

I only decided to watch this to take it off my watchlist, and because they are supposed to have a lot of romance at some point, but as things are, I will be fast forwarding and skipping a lot, and not only from episode 12 to 17...

Maybe I shouldn't, but I am watching this one...

Thanks! I will make sure to fast forward/skip during these episodes since I decided to watch this...

I have not watched this, but based on my research, this sounds about right.

I thought that "The Love by Hypnotic" had a break up? I know it has a super annoying love triangle, but I do not remember the details about the break up...

Now that I think about it... is not even the fact that he is basically obsessed with her; it is the way he acts, and I do not know if is the actor or the character, but I am sure that a character that was a bit more relaxed and natural would be better.

I know that Japanese dramas usually do not have a deep plot, but I still feel like nothing was really happening with this one. I appreciate the romance and intimacy between the leads.

I strongly believe that leads have a free pass for a lot of things, because they are meant to be together, but this guy is just too weird... still, easy to watch, so not bad I guess.

Sorry... if I am commenting too much on this, but this episode has a perfect example about the female lead's reaction... This guy basically tells her that he likes her and is about to kiss her in Episode 8... if not for the male lead, it seems like he would've kissed her... like, for real..? Shouldn't she push the guy away or something...? That's what makes it worse in my opinion...

I know this is to keep things going... but I am on episode 8 now, and something worse than the "intruder" interfering is the male lead actually following the guy's advice! That is the stupidest thing... why would you listen to the guy that wants to steal your girl...

Unfortunately, this has become a common trope in many dramas... The love triangle involving a childhood friend of sorts that has no chance with the female lead, but thinks of himself with all the rights on the girl, and even sees himself as her boyfriend in some sort of delusion sometimes.

I am not a fan of love triangles, but this kind of love triangle can become especially annoying if the female lead does not set boundaries soon enough.

I guess this trope can be just a distraction, a jealousy factor or something completely annoying depending on the female lead's actions.

It is almost time for me to give this one the 5th rewatch! Because it is worth it!

Thanks to your comment I am ready to fast forward or skip the scenes with that guy now.

How long is their break up?
