After E4, I'm shipping Key and Jay. I really like their dynamic together far better than Key's coquettish sex kitten act with Chan. And Jay actually treats Key with more respect than Chan does.

I have to wonder if Chan got bopped on her head after she dropped off Key. How do you forget a girl you rescued on a dark forest road who introduced herself and promised to get a tatt to remember you by?

Sweet series. I gave it a 7.5. I'm sure it would have been higher if I hadn't been distracted the last few episodes wondering what happened with Nam Ja Yeon's new apartment.

It's amazing how both men and women immediately leap to "must be the bitch hussy's fault," when it's just as likely the "arsehole dude's fault." If someone had done to me what A claims Hong Min Gi did to her I might bang on his doors and curse him. Likely let the air out of his tires and tell his mama on him as well.

I'm not saying Hong Min Gi is guilty of anything, just disgusted how Internet ghouls trip over themselves in their rush to destroy women and protect men.

Wait, what, where? I missed this entirely. Where is he?

This is why I watch with subtitles. The distraction of dubbed voices makes it impossible for me to connect with a story. With subtitles I may occasionally spent extra time rewinding to make sure I caught both the dialog and the expressions, but it's still better than dubbed voices.

As close to perfect as any drama I've watched.

This is a sweet, fun drama. It's not life changing, there will be no blinding epiphanies, but it is entertaining. The two winsome leads had me smiling along with them through the plot gaps, cliches, and silliness. They are just so darn cute together. The supporting cast is really good - appropriately charming or evil, as the situation warrants.

Like many others, I found the most intriguing part of the series to be the first half when our leads were dealing with ghosts. The shift from good deeds for the deserving departed to outwitting the malevolence of the living was a whiplash, but ultimately the story had to be about something other than a parade of demanding dead.

It's far from perfect, but it's cozy and entertaining and worth the watch.

ML managed to get a heart transplant but no scar on his chest. I was way too distracted by that.

But with gloves on, right?

Probably should mark this as spoiler.

Well, that was actually my point. MDL has very obviously made space for those who appear on or host variety and reality TV as part of this website experience. So I'm not entirely sure, given that, why you think this is your space to police. Still, at this point, I think you are arguing for the sake of argument. So, have at it and I'll leave you to it.

The site has a LOT of content for talk, variety and reality shows, not just drama/film. Jennie has appeared as a guest and participant in many shows of this type and has acted in at least one international drama . It would be difficult at this point, I think, to thoroughly purge this site of any mention of artists who are not purely film/drama with no other interests or credits. If you stripped out everyone whose career was launched by Asian pop music you'd lose some of drama's biggest stars.

Some people can do more than one thing. It's true that Jennie is internationally known for k-pop. It's also true that she has appeared in Asian television specials and continues to develop her international multi media career.

MDL just dropped an article about Ma Dong Seok being cast in the Western drama 'Extraction 3'. It seems fairly common on this site to highlight the crossovers to pop music and international film projects that feature Asian artists. Jennie is an internationally successful music maker with a developing career in television - like many other artists featured in this site. It may be a bit late to try to purity police site content to fit your definition. That horse seems to have already left the barn.

I'm 30 minutes into the first episode and ready to throw my TV at the wall. Does it get better? Because so far, it's wanna-be slapstick farce. I love LMSY but this is caca.

UPDATE: Made it to midway through E2 and got my question answered: No, it does not get better. It actually gets worse. And that took real effort.

A sexist and patriarchal system that strips women of power and agency forced a relationship status 2FL didn't want and didn't agree to. Every comment she made to her father and 2ML was placatory stalling to remain uncommitted and buy time. 2ML knew that and went along with it for personal and employment reasons. 2FL straight up told 2ML that ML was the one she loved and wanted. There was no deceit and no mystery.

2ML, a *condescending twat, isn't her fiancé merely because her father dictates it and 2ML wants it even though he knows his love isn't reciprocated. Therefore, 2FL can't "cheat" on a relationship she never agreed to be in, particularly when 2ML is in on the plan. [Note: women in the comments simping for the patriarchy - not a good look.]

*"You're overreacting", "calm down" when 2FL is having a normal hurt/angry reaction to ML's drunken disrespect.

Content warning: South Korea is still firmly in their "kill your gays" era...and the only thing better than killing one or two is killing three.

I liked it ok, but not enough to hang on when it didn't seem to be going anywhere.

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.
