May I know why is this drama so long, is it based on real life story or something special?
It is this long because this is a ✨Korean Weekend family drama✨ (these normally air every Saturday & Sunday) and commonly have 50 or more episodes. (It's just how the format is idk how to explain any better.) This format is very popular in South Korea and has very high viewership, for example Beauty and Mr. Romantic has reached nationwide average of 18.4% - you can compare that to Atypical Family, Romance in Hagwon or Missing Crown Prince all of which remain under 5%
The Ma Ri storyline is weird and gross and annoying AF. very disturbing. I swear, if the leads storyline didn’t…
it is super important storyline tho? how else can it come to light that Pil Sung is the rich lady son, and how else can the old madam make Jin Teak adopt him? cause let's be honest after the last mess Jin Dan caused she is no longer keen on having him in charge of the company.
back in 2022 i dropped this because of all the horrible reviews (how foolish of me), now i went back and literally just binged 4 episodes (and would keep at it if i didn't need sleep); like sure it's not the bestest drama ever, but all the hate is unwarranted
It's interesting that the title on the International Feed is "Beauty & The Devoted" I've also seen it referred…
Tbh it was called .... The Devoted here too (it's still in the link); I haven't seen the .... Mr. Reliable title anywhere, but it's by far my favorite (and imo most accurate as well, but I suppose we still have to see about that)
Also I don't think you guys realize how different Kim Ji Yong is to Do Ra. The glasses, her hairstyle (these change people so much - look up Zoey Deschanel), her clothing style, literally her whole presence and how she carries herself, and -Korean speakers pls correct me if I'm wrong but- the even way she speaks is different now. Also the people she worked with haven't seen her for two years?! and just how many people they must meet on the regular in this industry?

TWs in spoilered out reply to this comment, there is a lot of them (so many of them you'd not expect for a serial killer story, or I would not). yes, i cannot believe these are not listed in the tags either
