Yeah, women who enjoy their sexuality are a serious threat to some men. Sounds like you need to wait for one of those fantasy trad wife dramas - maybe stick to Joseon era story lines.

ML is an unrelenting ass. I think I'll wait until this drama completes before I decide whether to pick it back up, because "I'm in love with you, that's why I treat you like sh!t" is not my favorite genre.

The reality of the entertainment industry is that women don't make as much money as men in these productions, so what she earns from endorsements and modeling likely far exceeds what she makes acting and is probably what buys her groceries.

Yes! - in different productions and even in the same show. In Lovestruck in the City, Kim Ji Won plays two completely different aspects of a single character and does an amazing job with it. She is so good at conveying emotion through micro-expressions and physically inhabiting her characters.

Too much Catholic influence.

I have the same bd as Jae Soo, Jung Woon's suicidal pal.

If there were a special place in Hell, as there should be, for women scriptwriters who write sexist dramas with vacuous, immature, and relentlessly stupid female leads, it would be a very, very crowded section. Jo Bo Ah deserved better.

There are people on MDL who show up in comments for the sole purpose of trashing female leads. Apparently, it's a hobby one can indulge from their mother's basements.

I'm on E3 and the ML is such a sociopathic ass I'm hoping big mama Beom Ho Ja gets a chance to deal with him. Does ML ever become less of a selfish, childish prat? Because watching a kidnapped woman being ridiculed, tied up, and psychologically abused really isn't my idea of entertainment.

Major spoilers ahead...

My reasons for rating it low:

1. 2nd female lead is equally, if not more, evil than 1st female lead, and in my opinion clinically psychopathic.

2. The weight of the punishment for 1st FL lead far exceeds the severity of her misdeed. 2nd FL doesn't merely target 1st FL for vengeance, but goes after her entire family: she destroys the marriage of the husband of 1st FL, who knows of the infidelity and has made his peace with it, permanently traumatizes the couple's children, and commits felony crimes, for which she is rewarded with the life and career of her dreams.

3. From my PoV, the ending is satisfying only if one considers infidelity more heinous than physically assaulting a child, stalking, psychologically terrorizing a family, kidnapping a child, blackmail, deliberately removing a mother from her children, and framing someone for murder.

4. From a practical point of view, 2nd FL's final act of vengeance and control is implausible, if not impossible, and legally absurd. IMO, 1st FL lead could reasonably have responded with, "Yeah, good luck with that" and lived happily ever after.

Personal note for moralistic screechers: in pure bad drama fashion, my husband cheated on me with the babysitter, whom he later married. Despite his behavior, it never once occurred to me that I would be justified to stalk him, terrorize his new family, physically assault and kidnap his child with her, or frame him for murder. So, no, one does not justify the other.

The kisses are real, not the closed mouth drive-bys common in Asian drama. I'm only in E8, so I'd say moderate steam.

The GL romance is bait and switch: straight girl teases and kisses lesbian, then drops her like a hot rock to go back to AH boyfriend.

Nothing addicted or hypocritical about her sexuality. WYSIWYG. The character is both particular and strategic in choosing sexual relationships with other consenting adults. You couldn't know that, though, as you didn't watch the series...or, at least, claim you didn't.

Factoid: only simps call other men simps

MGTOW really need to go quietly.

I didn't say it was nothing at all. I said it was nothing wrong at all. I said that because ain't nothing wrong with "sex, intercourse, fucking, Penetrations., and all..!)"

Your sex issues are your sex issues, not universal truths.

My say is that adults are generally responsible for their own behavior.

Perfect romcom. Sweet, biting, funny, stereotype shattering, fast paced, with an outstanding cast. My favorite part was seeing Tae Al Ha from Arthdahl Chronicles kicking ass once more, albeit this time with fewer corpses resulting.

"Saying "all men are liars/ bad" is the same as saying " all women are liars/bad". It's still sexism."

Uh, yeah, that was pretty much the throughline of the entire series.

It did have a light hearted ending. If one has never, ever watched a romcom before, one could be confused about the angst before the happy-ever-after.

Is there an incel hotline that alerts your club to pile onto any show where the woman rejects trad wife propaganda?

I can understand anyone not liking a series, but this mouth frothing umbrage at a fictitious character is weird.
