The drama starts out with an attempted forced abortion, flashes back to FL's drugged sexual encounter, and proceeds to domestic violence, sexual harassment, assault, and kidnapping a woman's children to force her into compliance - and I'm not yet at the halfway point in the drama. There's even a scene where the daughter admonishes ML for bullying her mother, but son "boysplains" to his sister that ML choking and assaulting FL is just 'kissing'. I've seen comments online where people are normalizing this and calling it "cute" and "romantic"? That mindset is genuinely appalling and makes me fear for the safety of every woman and girl in China if this is the norm. The female lead should be grabbing her kids and running for their lives. Preferably to a different country.

That this drama got written and produced and has a 7+ rating says something truly horrifying about the normalization of violence towards women.

Not a fan of 1950s style 'woman cutesily pandering to man's obtuse petulance' type of story. The scriptwriter owes both leads an apology. There was enough substance to the plot that it could have been a very good drama if sexist cliches hadn't been wedged in in a misguided attempt at comedy.

And those were some indestructible glasses!

It kept me riveted throughout - and that's saying a lot. I have no problem dumping a series 2/3 of the way in if it gets slow or stupid and there was never a moment when I considered opting out of Agent Kim.

The subtitles are off in places where the English substitutions are unnecessary and awkward - a literal translation would have been better. Although nothing can surpass the absolute hash made of the subtitles for the Chinese drama "Story of Kunning Palace." It was a truly odd decision to use so much American adolescent slang. I can't think that will age well.

Hit the right notes all the way through. I would have liked to see Ju Hye Ri perp walked, though.

A really strong debut. Looking forward to great things from this young actor.

Just now watching The Air and wondering what century this is set in that nobody seems aware of using fingerprints or DNA to establish identity.

I've read the novel, so unless they change the series don't get your hopes too high.

This is the only GL I dropped halfway through the final episode. I couldn't handle that rapid descent into farce... by far the worst wrap up of any series. No matter what happens in the second half it can't possibly make up for the idiocy of the first.

It is

Wonderful show. The only nit pick is those absurd hair extensions. Distracting in almost every scene.

I've watched it twice and probably will again. It has become a comfort show for me somehow.

Things I liked best about it:
1. The supporting characters and the actors who portrayed them are multifaceted and have depth.
2. The characters who are supposed to be funny really are funny (except for the office crew, but they tried) and the characters who are supposed to be evil do a good job being evil.
3. The villain cackle. Every k drama with a villain has a villain cackle... and No Suk Min has a chilling cackle.
4. FL/ML are delicious eye candy with a chemistry that builds to a believable romance.
5. God is a mixed bag. A hybrid of a Greek chorus, an imp, and a gumball machine that spits out marginally apt bon mots. It seems to fit.

Things I don't like:
1. It's a show about a mythical demon with supernatural powers, yet the one thing I can't get over is the writer(s) couldn't come up with some plausible otherworldly mechanism for how a man survived - unininjured - a fall from a building so tall the ground was obscured by clouds.
2. Speaking of supernatural powers, Jeong Gu Won, being immortal, could not have been killed by Noh Suk Min; therefore, Having Do Do Hee take the blast for him made no sense. So, again, lazy writing to close out E15.

Even with the scriptwriter running also out of creativity in the final three episodes it's got enough going for it that it's probably worth your time to give it a go, even if you don't end up loving it enough to watch three times.

Miu and Lena of My Safe Zone adopted a girl.

I have a problem with that, too. She abandons her daughter for 20 years but the moment her former lover needs help she pops up like a loose cork.

"Can This Love Be Translated?" was not at what I expected — in a good way. It's one of the better treatments of alternate personality that I have seen. Go Youn Jung gave an outstanding performance embodying two very different personalities. Both the premise and the character development were solid.

At one time or another, they each lost their positions. Did you not finish watching the series?

There is seriously something off about raging k-netizens. I genuinely believe they are incapable of feeling good about themselves unless they're destroying the character of some celebrity. Hopefully, I will never meet one of these bloodthirsty creatures in the wild.

A commoner is one who is neither royalty, nor nobility. That's the actual dictionary definition. IU's character is a commoner. Deliberately. That is one of the characteristics mentioned in the early episodes as making her from "the wrong social class" and unsuitable as a bride for the Prince.

IU is a commoner. And why does it need to compare to Royal Nemesis? Is there some obscure rule that we are not allowed to enjoy more than one drama?
