I loved the comment about singing off key tho because it made it less serious thank god lmaoo

I’m a bit frustrated with this, I 100000% loved Team and Win’s relationship more than the original, but the way they tried to mesh the two stories together while adding even more couples, made a lot of the drama less enjoyable than the original. So i have to give the original a higher score despite how much I love love love win and team’s chemistry and everything (and the lack of crying lmao). The production of the original was just not as messy even if the flow wasn’t the best either—a lot of interactions between the cast members in this one felt so awkward for no good reason because of them trying to force the separate stories into one. Ah… oh well, the story of Win and Team is definitely worth the frustration of this.

Man, this could have been a really good movie. I understand time restrictions, but it would have been so good if they had fleshed out their characters more and gave us something that felt more than skin deep. It’s like a superficial wound compared to the deep cut it could have been. Regardless, the actors did great with what they were given. Maybw im too used to drama series… movies feel too rushed for me.

I AM DEVESTATED THEY KILLED MY BABY I KNEW HE WAS INNOCENT AND THEY KILLED HIM

I am so sad

say what you want about it, but can we all get on board with the fact that it’s hilarious? I’m the sickest I’ve been in awhile, and this show has me in stitches despite the pain I’m currently in. They are all so ridiculous, it’s more like a satire or parody than something you take seriously. I love it and think it’s doing a great job showcasing the silliness of common tropes and the like, all while still keeping you invested in the show like a non-satire drama. I feel like that’s probably a really hard line to balance, but so far (im on ep 9) they’ve been doing excellent with it!

Reminds me A BIT of Mad For Each Other

my head hurts from crying so much. those last few episodes really went hard on emotion—I’m now dead inside.

worth it.

this drama is very simple. And i don’t mean that in a bad way. It’s a feel good, on the nose, super simple drama with very in your face relationships that don’t go deeper than what you can see. Personally, i loved it. Normally i love diving in deep to characters and what makes them tick and all the complex ways they interact with one another and come to develop as individuals, but this one I honestly appreciated how clean and simple it was. I didn’t have to think and stress or try to figure out what people were thinking. I didn’t have to get frustrated about how the relationship wasn’t as developed as it should be either, because the characters themselves never really developed past ‘oh I like him now’ hahaha again, these are all GOOD things in my eyes.

I laughed, i squealed, and I was like Charles Boyle in B99 yelling “Tine! Go to him! Wat! GO to him!” and it was so enjoyable. And i also enjoyed how instead of a lot of drama, it gave us a bunch of pairings in the cast. The writers were like “the more the merrier!” when it came to couples lol Heck, i even find myself totally okay with the lack of kissing—their cute interactions were good enough to satisfy skinship lol

Don’t go in expecting something complex and over the top dramatic. It’s as if this drama was created just so that you can coo and awe your way through it.

basically the only negative thing I can say about this is that THERE WASN’T ENOUGH INHALING OF THE FACE. Seriously they skimmed on the kisses and I’m a bit upset about it. From the way ML was inhaling his scent at every chance he got, I was expecting ML to inhale him right up eventually lmao! Sups disappointed this was not the case. Still a great drama, but dangnabbit.

a lot of people in real life have a condition called alexithymia (for example: autistic people and people who have a lot of trauma, people with BPD, etc) and they even mention it in the show. Sometimes they don’t have any feelings but sometimes it’s not that they don’t have any feelings, it’s that they don’t understand what they are feeling and can mistake it for different things or mistake it for a lack of feeling. In this show, ML believes he is a psychopath like his father and he believes he really doesnt have any feelings. But this isn’t true, he has feelings he just doesn’t understand them.

I have it, while it’s not nearly as bad as ML, it’s still hella confusing and I also don’t know when I love someone or when I am just infatuated with them. The only way I can explain it is almost like sussing out your own symptoms to try to figure out what those symptoms are for. Like when you have a runny nose, you’ll assume you have a cold, but if another symptom like a tummy ache comes along, you might change from believing it’s a cold to thinking you have a virus. Sometimes symptoms can lead to more than one answer which can make you confuse them for one another.

ML is thinking his symptoms are showing how manipulative he is (wanting to keep his wife and kid happy, wanting to keep them at all cost, not wanting his identity figured out), when really it’s a symptom of his love for them (keeping them happy, keeping them with him, and not being forced to leave them). When he realizes these symptoms aren’t symptoms of manipulation but love, he is able to more freely express himself (once you know what you’re feeling is real, you don’t have to be so cautious anymore in the fear of being wrong about yourself).

Also trauma in general reacts that way. Once you are in a secure place where you feel supported and accepted, all of your trauma can surface and make you EXTREMELY sensitive emotionally (your triggers might normally take a lot to be pushed, but during this state of mind it’s if the wind blows on it basically). So while with his wife he begins to feel more accepted, he is also being CONSTANTLY triggered outside of his relationship with his past. He might not know exactly why he is crying or laughing due to his condition, but he is still going to cry and laugh and be easily triggered.

Honestly, the thing I felt the most relatable and realistic was how he came to realize his feelings. Not only does he have to figure out all that above, but he also has had adults and peers tells him his whole youth that he is a psycho like his father (and even before that, the child’s therapist was extremely horrible at her job and not connecting his trauma with his mother to his aggressive state— instead lumping it in to him showing symptoms of psychopathy). It’s like the label theory—if you are called something regularly, you will eventually come to believe it yourself. He is called psycho and possessed, thus he believes he is both of these things. ML is the perfect example of both the condition and the label theory working to make a good kid become all sorts of mixed up and messed up on top of all the trauma he had to endure already.

it’s okay if you don’t like the show or don’t understand it, but from a psychological POV and a sociological one, it is accurate given the situations he was given.

i know ML and K are the same person, but I wish they would have kept the split personality. I felt really lonely for ML who had to say goodbye to his best friend (and it was so cute seeing how much love they had for each other! talk about self-love!). I don’t think it was completely necessary for the story. I also don’t think getting rid of a split personality is all that easy (even getting to the root of where a personality came from, a lot of people will still have that trauma response hanging around). Maybe it’s more open ended than I’m interpreting it, but I honestly wish they had gone the route where K comes back when ML talks about the kiss with FL. That would have been a much happier ending.

I found she got better after she stopped using violence on ML lol. I hate when they do that… try to make a FL strong looking by getting her to legit abuse the ML.

YES to all that. It also gave me Forever Love vibes!

this is the cutest, sweetest drama I think I have EVER watched. It’s just filled with goodness and green flags. China is really killing it lately with the green flags. well done!

We have such similar tastes! I really recommend Shinning For One Thing, it was SO good.

ohhh wow they really sunk that ship! hahaha

oh that’s super interesting! thanks for the info. :)

I just started this and I had no idea that it would be in English considering it’s Japanese (and on here). Just for curiosity sake, why wasn’t it shot originally in Japanese? (I’ve never watched the anime either, but I’m pretty sure it’s probably Japanese). I just started episode 2 and it’s so good!

I love this type of drama… that dark anti-hero sorta feel. There are usually a lot of deaths and twists to keep you holding on until the very end. However, I find they usually have hit or miss endings and this to me missed the mark. I think there were a lot of decisions made by the writers that didn’t make the most sense. Maybe it was due to how rushed some things felt—like something was suddenly thrown in your face only for it to be torn away a second later. Or maybe it was due to how unsatisfactory things felt. Whether it’s a sad ending or happy ending, things still need to feel concluded and this felt like we were all left in some sort of void—no way back and no was through, we’re all just holding our breath waiting for something to fill that void this drama leaves you in. At least, that’s how I felt. Like the story wasn’t finished.

thank you for the update! Sounds like it’s either bait for so moon and ha na shippers or like they are planning to make them get together in a slow burn sorta way.

I hope you enjoy the last two episodes! So for it seems like I’ll definitely be watching it since the romance isn’t pushed in a in-your-face sorta way :)

THE. MANAGERS. ARE. NOT. MANAGERING.

I am literally screaming in frustration. first manager is a pig who only cares for the actresses who get taken advantage of. second is just a biased b*tch who would rather everyone suffer as she does (even her own brother). and the third one is so incompetent I want to bully him like we’re in high school because he is THAT immature about everything. Seriously, get a clue!

i cant. this poor girl could have been saved so much trouble with an actual decent manager who knows how to do their job.
