Isn't it what inspires the fanfics? The writers see beautiful or attractive people and start fantasising about them. The whole point of BL fanfics is to let your imagination go crazy cause you are anonymous. How can this show about BL fanfics be funny without showing what fanfic writing is?

Not sure all teachers would be against writing a BL… good natured teachers don’t stunt their students’ creativity unless it is actually harmful, and hers is barely even “omono, what if someone sees us flirt” level stuff. She says herself this isn’t even a 15+ rated one—in other words, this is suitable, by SK’s very conservative rating system (compared to Japan which rates quite a lot of very mature stuff at 13+), for middle schoolers. The one that WAS trying to be more adult naturally did not do well as it was being written by a cute wee school kid who had zero experience, straight or gay, to base anything from that would feel realistic whereas students fantasizing about teachers, even teachers together, is pretty normal even if her teacher’s response is comical which kind of lines up with him going to uni in the USA… it is exactly the kind of reaction western school teachers and especially liberal arts and science oriented university professors and students tend to have unless they are homophobic which he obviously isn’t, obviously.

Inching towards grooming… so far, it’s just… lowkey bullying behavior, threatening a kid who is scared even if the threat is hollow (can’t be sure). Nothing wrong with a kid liking a teacher. It’s pretty normal for students to crush on teachers, even if it starts with an antagonistic relationship. It only becomes an issue if they show the teacher pursuing the student.

(Doctors was creepy to me for that reason even though their romance was not until she was an adult—it was creepy because she had a crush on him and expressed romantic feelings for him that he didn’t act on but clearly reciprocated emotionally, ughhh—that’s when my brain shouts run away and never turn back like you’ll turn to stone if you dare… Melancholia, a show far more loathed [cue the woman being older and noona romance-hating people griping on here about her being too ugly for the hot young male lead!], actually felt far less eerie because even though a scandal was created by others, jealous others, about them, they genuinely were just two people crazy about math and she brought him back from a place of hating it to a place of loving it again without crossing the line—it created hardship for her and her fiance, though,and romance happened years down the road when he was a visiting elite teacher who’d established his name in that professional world).

I’m curious about what made them even consider this a “romantic” anything—so far it is just straight up comedy with a tiny tiny bit of social commentary which is what I love about it. I don’t think, for something only 8 hours long, it makes sense to have romance for the FL unless with a student who thinks it is cool that she writes it which would be the best outcome (not the romance but acceptance from peers that will basically make any threats from the teacher become far less powerful as she is more scared of her straight and straight-laced acting “why not a straight couple cause I am straight, wahhhh” best friend).

The main thing she needs is to actually know people around her like her work, ideally people who are cool friend material. She is pretty shy which is true of most writers I know when they first start writing—they write largely because they have a lot to say but don’t actually say it verbally… abut half or so get much better at speaking with time, but to a large extent, the pen is their sword and the paper their shield—they fight/say their piece with the pen but hide themselves behind paper. She seems to be in that situation.

Yes main poster

this poster is stunning. loving all the little colorful details. one of my highly anticipated dramas of 26 (largely cause is a LJY drama.

I LOOOOVE THIS NEW POSTER 🤩

Villain x villain romance here we go

from cha segye's character description:
"Every time she opens her mouth, it’s nothing but a tirade—self-centered and moody. She’s clearly an annoying woman, like a thorn lodged under my fingernail, so why am I like this? Why does my heart ache when she cries? I sense a longing in her anger—a longing to live. It’s a vibration I’ve never felt before in my life. Maybe this is what Mom used to call love. The strange woman who appears in my dreams every night keeps haunting me."

holy enemies to lovers. i'm so ready for this it's insane

Omg you defo need to watch lim jiyeon in the tale of lady ok if you have the chance, one of my fav also beside the glory

No I don't think so

Thanks for understanding my point — I really appreciate that.
And yes, I completely agree that having babies in itself is not wrong at all. South Korea genuinely does need to increase its birth rate if it wants to sustain its society and diaspora in the long run. That concern is valid.
What feels deeply wrong, though, is how some of these dramas choose to portray it. Impregnating a stranger because “things just happened,” not using protection — when condoms are hardly expensive even for a poor CEO or a powerful president — and then framing the pregnancy as fate or romance is irresponsible storytelling.
Pressuring a woman to carry the pregnancy out of obligation, fear, or social pressure is even worse. And showing her abandoning her life, dreams, and career as if that’s the natural or noble outcome feels like a very outdated, almost medieval mindset — reducing women to child-making machines rather than full human beings with agency.
So yes, romance audiences may enjoy it without questioning the logic, but that doesn’t mean the messaging isn’t problematic. Wanting more babies is understandable; promoting it through coercion, negligence, and glorified power imbalance is not.

rewinding…watching ahn bo hyun shirtless at least 100 times!!! it’s a good paced rom com and it makes me smile every episode i watch! the kind that makes you forget logic and genuinely enjoy the drama. hopefully it keeps its good pace!

Everyone has different tastes but most people like this drama & chemistry between the leads. It’s a pretty solid romcom with old-school vibes. I think they are leaning into some tropes on purpose — we joke in the comments that FL could drown in a puddle or a tea cup ☕️🤣

No.
SFL is cute. You can't hate her lool.
You have to approach this series as complete nonesense. You need to remove your brain entirely, not only switch it off. lool.
If you can do that, and preferably have the remote to fast forward some stuff, then you will enjoy it.
The leads have great chemistry, and there is a lot of fun to be had.

Hmmmm setting up for a kdrama remake maybe??
