If there was a way to rate this higher than 10, I would do it. The script is amazing. There were no weak characters, no contrived plot points, no unrealistic dialogue. Every actor involved deserves an award because it must have been gut wrenching to bare themselves unflinchingly scene after heartbreaking scene to play characters with such range and complexity. Every single actor owned their character and more than did it justice. The child actors especially deserve recognition: to be that young and represent such depth of emotion and truth in their characters is truly impressive.
So much of this series was personal to me. I, too, adopted an abused child though unconventional and, initially, illegal means. Like the script here, I was eventually able to make it legal. The fear, physical danger, emotional chaos, financial devastation, and career compromise were all perfectly depicted in "Mother." Everyone involved told this story brilliantly.
It seems like with each GL series there is at least one script element that gives me a genuine WTAF moment. HS got to this one fairly early in E3. So, just a thought here, but can we NOT normalize drugging your date? Because that's point of no return creepy, not to mention actual assault. Also, completely out of left field based on the drugger's long time crush on the druggee (not a real word probably, but you follow, right?). Also, bizarre and unnecessary. Also, WTH - a woman creator and a woman scriptwriter blithely doing this for no good plot reason makes me want to throw something at my screen, but I won't because I paid good money for it. Still...
Criticizing successful women is the world's favorite sport, though it gets particularly vicious in Korea where…
Your juvenile name calling, baseless generalizations, undisguised biases, and misdirected ire are a de facto demonstration of pretty much everything I stated. Thanks, nothing like a real time demonstration.
You don't know me from Adam's house cat, so you don't know what life experiences have informed my perceptions. You don't know which fandoms, if any, I follow. You don't have the faintest clue which actresses I support or why.
Perhaps, secure in the safety of your mother's basement, buttressed by the rousing support of the www manosphere, you have convinced yourself you are an expert on me, on feminism, on misogyny (which, btw, you should learn to spell if you're dead set on convincing people of your expertise), on what helps or harms "the movement" that I sincerely doubt you genuinely give a double f*ck about.
Or perhaps not, because I don't know you either.
My comment is about my perceptions based on my life experiences, none of which require your approval or validation or are informed by your wild imaginings about my intent. Your uninformed pablum spewing bears no relation to anything I wrote. Instead you invented an argument about me claiming x was misogynist when I did nothing of the sort, never used the word. You brought it up then wailed about misuse of the word - weird, since you were the only one using it up to that point.

And you ridicule acknowledgement of misogyny hoping to distract from the fact that it exists and is in play. It's still misogyny even when women are perpetrating it.
History and patriarchy have taught them that opportunities for women come in small measure, that anytime one woman gets more, another gets less. Competition by design, to keep us bickering with each other, keeping each other down, reinforcing stereotypes and clearing the land of opportunity for -- guess who?
She is not deserve to be in lead role or a role in film that so many other talented actress
Why? Jisoo has just as much right to pitch for and accept a role as any other actress. There are a lot of talented actors, but the director picks the one that they believe is right for the part. That's what happened here.
So many whiny people on here. It hasn't even been released yet, how about you refrain from judging until after…
Criticizing successful women is the world's favorite sport, though it gets particularly vicious in Korea where it's not unusual to hound a woman to death. The more successful the woman, the more gleeful the attacks. They'll always claim it's justified, because in their mind a woman daring to reach for more is, in itself, justification for vitriol.
Seriously, they should stop making such series, it's getting boring from Thailand.If you are so stupid that you…
I'm not a fan of the horror genre, yet somehow I find it easy not to dip into the comment section of horror flicks to sh*t on those who do enjoy them. It's fun not to be a troll.
What a terrible, terrible show. Finally there's a show that beat MMDIY in being one of the worst GL shows. So…
I'm going to take your word for it and give this one a pass. I agree with you about the multi episode promo for Miss Grand Thailand that is Show Me Love. It was almost campy farce with the "50 ways not to kiss your lover" and "how many things can Charlotte trip over to appear shorter than Engfa?"
MMDIY, though, I had a better experience with - yeah, the script was mostly awful, but so was the book it was based on, [Note to producers: if the source material sucks, you ARE allowed to rewrite the plotline for TV; e.g., "Us"], but I loved FayMay together, so I can't hate on the show too much, especially when there were others I dropped after one or two episodes.
But Joon Mo porking his drug supplier is peachy, right?
It. Wasn't. Different.
She didn't start it. She didn't want it. Her boss discovered their previous relationship, pressured her and made it an assignment. She tried several times to get out of it, but the jackass boss wouldn't let up.
There is no amount of gaslighting that will make this anything other than sexist double standard.
It's on YouTube. Depending on your country, you may need to use VPN.
It's an app that routes your Internet requests through the country server you select, making it appear as if your request originates from the county you selected. There may be some free or low cost available to you.

Netflix and chill, please.
