Rather than connections, it's probably bc of weight loss and ps that she's getting more roles now. The v-shaped face is a huge trend in korean beauty standards now and she only started getting lead roles consecutively and even simultaneously after her face changed and she lost weight.

I dropped this drama bc I don't like how they wrote the FL's character and the SML has more screentime with her—making it difficult to latch on the budding romance between FL and ML. Now, I'm just watching the bts clips of baby woojoo.

It's ok to admit she got ps because her face shape completely changed which can't simply be attributed to weight loss. she still had jaws when her face was round but now her face is v-shaped and she obviously had her jaws shaved. It's the current enhancement trend in korea—just look at kpop idols. It's her face and body anyway so there's no shame in having ps, esp since actors rely on their looks (aside from talent) to land roles.

But she actually started getting more lead roles right after she got ps and lost weight. It's just sad that the korean beauty standards got to her but it's also understandable because it's hard to get opportunities for a lead role if you don't have the face they want for a female lead.

Now that I think about it, the whole youth romance trope between the grandparents is probably because the grandma is dying and the grandpa is sick, it's like fulfilling the love that didn't flourish during their heydays. it also makes sense that the grandma is trying to pair up haran with any guy because she must be worried that haran would completely shut everyone out once she passes away because another loved one "left" her.

There's also something heartwarming about the whole idea of the once-full of life haran saving chan from misery and now, chan's the one full of life and saving her from misery. as opposed to other comments saying it's a white knight trope, i think this is a reciprocal one. they saved each other from different points in their lives.

Stalking incidents get taken seriously there? I hope the same for South Korea because I remember there's a Korean case where the girl filed a police report about her online stalker but apparently, in Korea, they don't do anything unless the stalker already caused harm. So they let the stalker go and sometime later, he went to the girl's home and pretended to be a delivery guy, rang on the doorbell and when the girl's little sister opened the door to get the package, the stalker barged in. He ended up killing the girl and her whole family—all because they don't take stalking reports seriously in SK.

I was gagged by the plot twist on ep 2 because I was so convinced she couldn't remember Chan only because the trauma forced her to forget him until they revealed the back story. Anyway, this seems like an interesting healing drama and I'm also rooting for the romance between the second leads and the grandparents!

why are people calling this series a baby propaganda with all seriousness when there had been dramas like this before: welcome to waikiki s1, three dads and one mom, my little baby, wonderful life (which is also about the baby being used a plot device for forced close proximity to make the main couple fall in love), etc. if anything, the drama portrays more the struggles of parenthood while trying to maintain your sense of individuality (cant find the right word for it but basically wanting to maintain your own sense of self in life and career outside of being a parent).

Eh, because I just watch rom-com to kill time so I don't really mind if the leads have chemistry or not as long as the plot and conflict can keep me watching.

Because personally, rom-coms work for me as long as the plot is good enough. Like with spring fever, it doesn't exactly make my heart flutter but the plot and writing kept me hooked anyway. i'm also not discounting the fact that maybe it's just me and some others who don't see the chemistry lol

The plot is fun and this is recommended for those who just like a rom-com. The actors are undoubtedly good too. I think people just find it boring because the leads don't have a chemistry as a couple. Their interactions don't make you kick your feet or make your heart flutter.

Personally, I still think the best gumiho drama is My Girlfriend is a Gumiho because of the simple but successful plot execution and Shin Min-ah's stunning visual is really convincing for a gumiho role (same with Kim Taehee when she played the role of a gumiho in Tale of the Nine-tailed Fox but that drama was just tragic af; I don't mean Hyeyoon isn't pretty but a gumiho's beauty is described to be captivating and seductive and Hyeyoon is more adorable than seductive—koreans probably have the same idea since they praise particular celebrities for having a gumiho beauty).

It means being obsessed with an actor to the point of not accepting any criticism.

Congratulations on your marriage with Hirate Yurina! ❤️

I believe Song Wei Long has his own studio now so he's his own boss. Yu Zheng didn't just spread rumors about him. He reportedly blocked casting offers for Song Wei Long when he was about to leave his agency. Yu Zheng denied it but considering that SWL wasn't on screen for quite a while during that time, I believe Yu Zheng was actively sabotaging SWL's career to make him regret leaving his agency.

I don't even stan him but I think you're misunderstanding on purpose. The case isn't about him being a bully because the three accusers either deleted their posts or admitted their claims were false. This lawsuit is for him to GET PAID by his accusers because of the financial impact of those allegations. And he lost simply because only he submitted evidence while the other side didn't. So it's like fighting the air because it's one-sided.

If we're gonna consider the vibes of Lusi and William, I think Park Gyuyoung (Celebrity kdrama), Nana, Moon Gayoung, and Kim Jiwon would fit the role because they all have that air of sophistication and maturity and have played both pitiful and cunning type of characters before. They also have the visuals Korean news anchors usually have. For men, I'd go for more mature type of actors like Ji Changwook, Lee Joongi, Park Haejin, or Byeon Wooseok (saw him as the villain on Strong Girl sequel). They look mature enough to be the next in line in inheriting the company and look like they'd dote on their lover but can also be cunning.

From today's (or was it yesterday?) update, his older brother is calling for an investigation. An audio of him screaming and crying saying he was wronged before he passed away is going viral. According to his brother, there were 16-17 people in the party Yu Menglong attended. He was also pushed to keep drinking heavy alcoholic drinks to the point of him not being able to walk anymore. Netizens were able to dig up a CCTV footage of Yu Menglong with a director but the director denied being in the same place. However, before the incident, the CCTV footage showed the director was with him and even had his hand on Yu Menglong's shoulder while Menglong looked like he was in a daze. The director now deleted his post of denial and isn't answering any calls either.

Justice for Yu Meng Long! I just read the post of his fans now. It's heavily speculated that there's foul play because when he passed away, he was with 5-6 people. Then they just claimed he jumped off the window but apparently, he has a fear of heights and the window was also forcibly removed. All posts demanding an investigation are being deleted on Weibo.

am i tripping or has this been filmed years ago?? because ive been stanning zhang linghe for years now and i vaguely remember seeing this project years ago already.

Zhao Lusi just publicly called out Yu Zheng. Turns out she knew that all the negative rumors in the industry about her came from Yu Zheng who's very influential. It was Yu Zheng along with Zhao Lusi's former agent who verbally abused her years ago which triggered her mental health issues. He's been dragging her down ever since he thought she blocked his contact (she didn't, she wasn't really posting anything and he thought she blocked him so he couldn't see it). This man is the typical male narcissist.
