I fully agree with this. Kissing isn't necessarily needed to show romance, but if they add kissing scenes in, it can affect the chemistry either way. A great kiss can make mediocre chemistry feel explosive, while a mediocre kiss can kill almost all the amazing chemistry feeling the rest of the acting delivered. There's actually a Japanese movie where the chemistry was amazing and the mains were obviously completely in love and there wasn't even a peck on the cheek in the whole movie, and I'd rather that than bad kissing.

It just annoys me because I've seen LingOrm have much better kissing scenes in TSOU than what they've been showing in Only You.

Kawatani definitely has the whole "I'm the main character" energy, too bad she's too stupid to realize life doesn't actually work that way lol.

Min Jeong. They are talking about the 2nd couple pairing

At first, I assumed that Kawatani didn't know that Yuto was in a relationship, but she is actively going against Sugawara every chance she gets. She's actually worse than Yuto. Like, rubbing it in that she's with Yuto now and relacing all of her things at the apartment, then immediately flirting with Odagiri once she realized they were there together?!? I thought she was a cute, naive girl that just happened into a relationship with a taken man, but she's pure f'ing evil. It won't excuse her, but hopefully there's actually a reason in this story as to why she is so against Sugawara. Like, she's acting like the evil step/half sisters in Chinese vertical dramas and there's been nothing to show that they've known each other outside of work so the hatred of Sugawara makes no sense

I agree, I think she got suspicious enough to check when she found out that Mae scheduled a meeting with the brand she (Ai) works with almost immediately after her making that phone call to discuss cooperation. Ai also seems like the type to just leave it there and never bring it up to both play with Mae and because she doesn't want to jeopardize their budding relationship since she's already wholly invested in it.

Yeah, it sounds like it would be mid 10s to low 100s of millions US revenue annually. It's a massive get for whoever wins the contract

I mean MDL is usually pretty good about putting the cast list in order of billing, and like 99.9% of the time the top and 2nd most billed artists are the end game couple. It's an easy assumption to make just based off of the cast list. I haven't read the novel, but from comments know that Loft and Pure is the endgame if they stick to source material

Duty Free is the non-taxed and no customs charges shops at airports and the like where you can only shop at them on International flights, cruises, etc. I could be wrong, but it sounds to me that they are all bidding on construction, management or both of not just a duty-free store, but practically a high end mall that's entirely duty free, so people would flock to it since they will be able to undercut any non duty free shop on the prices

Just now watching ep 2, but seriously, how big of a POS do you have to be to cheat in general, let alone with a beautiful, loving, caring woman that also takes care of the house and gladly wakes up early to cook you 3 amazing looking meals a day and also just happens to be like the most vital member of her team at work? The FL is basically every mans dream gf and Yuto is just so trash that he gaslights her into thinking she's less than nothing and just gleefully cheats on her, yet can't understand why she left him?

So far I actually hate him more than Min Hwan in (K)MMH

It was overall a decent watch, but I'm kind of annoyed with the ending. They didn't show anything about how the cops figured out that the Chairman was behind everything. Mr Yuk and Yu Jin knew 100%, but they had no actual evidence to provide for it, and Yu Jin was in surgery/coma when the chairman got arrested. It would have been just Mr Yuk's word vs the Chairman and all the corrupt cops and officials words, yet they came in force like they had him dead to rights.

I also was okay with how he left town, but I feel like there should have been an actual goodbye scene between him and Yu Jin. Just leaving that bear keycahain was kind of cute, but I think she deserved an actual goodbye imo

I can see it going either way with the romance at this point, but 1 thing that is for sure is even if they pursue the romance, it's not going to be a major part of the story. It will at most be like L and Yeon Woo's romance plot in Numbers

That's exactly what she was doing, but she should never have done that. I don't know about in SK, but in the US she could legitimately be disbarred for that. There's very strict rules for an opposing counsel to talk to the other party. Even their meeting where he decided to settle was an iffy situation in reality, but at least his lawyers consented to allowing them to speak privately. You could even see how uncomfortable the other 4 lawyers were to let that happen.

It's not like this was a small matter, she absoluetly should have known better than to engage with him socially. Her staying, even though she was "trying to help her client" could easily have completely tanked her career forever if someone saw her

Thanks. I remembered her from Penthouse lol

Another point on Wan breaking up with Maewnam is she's seeing similarities from her relationship with Manmook. Manmook dumped her while she was deeply in love and basically called her a needy girl that can't do anything for herself, so Manmook had to help her all the time. Maewnam doesn't feel that way, but after hearing about her dropping her PhD. she's scared that history is going to repeat itself.

Like, from Wan's broken POV thanks to Manmook, she's thinking it's better to end it now before she falls even deeper in love with Maewnam, fully expecting Maewnam to get sick of being her support and help

It was said in ep 1 that he was strictly a 9-5 worker, and was good enough to never have to stay late to finish anything

Who is the actress that plays the plaintiff in 6? she looks so familiar, but I can't place what I've seen her in

To be fair, it's pretty unbelievable she didn't even tell Lee Jin U that she happened to meet the defendant in a bar. It was entirely coincidental, but it looks extremely bad having a plaintiffs lawyer sitting with the defendant at a bar. I think that was GBH's point.

Yes, the FL is extremely smart, but she does some dumb things. Realistically, as soon as she heard the name, she should have told her friends they ALL need to go, or at a bare minimum excuse herself. She should never have allowed herself to continue to be in that position once she found out he was the plaintiff.

I also don't think she's made any more or more egregious mistakes than a normal first year lawyer, all her other blunders or issues can be chalked up to her personality (messy, late etc) or being a first year (almost losing the case by being biased and unprepared in 5, but she turned it around at the end.) But I do think continuing to drink with him was a serious mistake, even though she was showing zero interest in him and was practically non-responsive

It's not even innocent until proven guilty. At this point it's innocent until proven innocent and people still won't let it go

I completely agree, that's why I said it's more nuanced. Like yeah, she agreed to doing everything that happened in the moment, but she also originally said no.

I don't think love is a valid excuse for mental capacity, but I do think there is a possible case to be made.

Again, still watching, but it sounds to me like he made her hopelessly in love with him, to the point that she was basically stalking him after he ghosted her, then he only came back to her when she was willing to agree to the BDSM play. It absolutely was still her choice, but I think saying there's no legal argument saying that she was coerced into giving consent is also not entirely true. A lawyers job is basically navigating those gray areas to the best of their ability on their clients behalf. Even ignoring the BDSM aspect, it's honestly sadly very common, especially in like HS age girls, where they don't want to have sex yet, but only consent because they are scared to lose their bf. I don't think every case like this would be considered SA, but I think if the girls lawyers were able to present a strong arguement saying their client felt overly coerced into having sex directly by the bf, and not just personal or third party pressure, there's a possibility for winning a legal case saying it wasn't actually consensual. Also not a lawyer, just my thoughts

The major emphasis of my thought is the pressure from the partner. The case in the show makes it seem that he basically pressured her into consenting

That did feel very directed at Law and the City lol. Even more so if you think about the fact the native title of Law and the City is actually Seocho-dong.

Honestly, it was a decent drama to me, but I was starting to get bored towards the end of it. And that whole "1 firm, 4 seperate entities" thing was nothing but confusing, not even just to the viewers, but the characters as well. It felt like they just did that to force the 5 mains closer and give Ms. Kim a role, that whole thing was very not flushed out and confusing so I'm not surprised another drama took a jab at it. I am surprised it happened so quickly though lol
