that's why i rarely watch jdrama romances. they excel in slice of life for a reason

to be fair, she had a crush on him years before when she thought he was nice. by the time she found out he was toxic, she already invested 5 years into it and was most likely blinded by her love. that being said, i didn't enjoy the toxicity much either. but at least he was better than other toxic leads i've seen

someone tell me why THIS isn't on disney+??? 😭😭😭

same i rewinded that part so many times 😭

you know, i just noticed that in pretty much all of his roles, he always has his hair down in that puppy bowl cut style. when is he gonna get a role where he has his hair up like in his pfp? he looks so good in it

i still imagine how good this drama could've been as a rags to riches revenge found family story if it didn't include a forced melodramatic love triangle (square), cartoonish joker bohyun, the worst character assassination imaginable, and a terrible second half of kdrama tropes like yiseo getting [spoiler]. i still remember how invested i was at saeroyi's revenge story and the helplessness he felt against jangga. it's a feeling i haven't felt again. shame the second half ruined it.

out of the senior secret love series this one is easily the best. it's not a great drama and it's as typical of a romcom as you can get, but they have undeniable chemistry and i found myself smiling way more than i thought i would've

omg thank you. i thought i was the only one who was frustrated at the characters. i did finish the drama and while it told a good story, i hated most of the characters, esp the fml. she was constantly picking fights and arguing with the ml to the point of toxicity. it can't just be written off as a mental illness, she just treated him like crap. it left such a bitter taste in my mouth while watching. absolutely killed my love for this story.

aw i thought this was a drama this whole time

idk this pfp always creeps me out

he's actually stunning, younger than i thought too

he's actually stunning, younger than i thought too

KENTARO AND SEYOUNG FTW

i adore nana, kentaro, and yuki

kentaro in a kdrama?!??!?!?!??!

i enjoyed this season more than the first, but i do agree there was endless monologuing lol. can anyone tell me what the significance of the elephants were? that scene always confused me

i know jdramas are usually rated much lower compared to kdramas on mdl. but HOW is this only 8.3??? like it's higher for a jdrama, but it seriously deserves higher. i suspect it's mainly from the ending?

i said anything 8.0+ for other dramas BESIDES kdramas (aka jdramas, tdramas, etc) usually indicates it being AMAZING, as majority are often in the 7.0s even if they're fantastic series. 8.0 is not great for kdramas (which i said in my comment), but an 8.0 doesn't mean it's bad either. a rating of 6.8 is bad. there are only so many 9.0 dramas on here and you can't expect all of them to reach that average rating. you'd miss out on a lot of gems and favorites if you only based it on average ratings. some of the highest rated ones are ones i didn't like at all and some 7.0s i watched were ones i adored.

i always think it's best to wait for reviews than the currently airing ratings as most people don't rate until it finishes. this drama could be great, average, or terrible. airing rating can only tell you so much, but you could be missing out on one of your favorites. of course, this is only my opinion though and 8.0 being a low rating is your opinion as well. i also think it's quite low for a kdrama on here, though i don't think it necessarily makes it "bad" per se. non-romantic accounting dramas aren't exactly the most popular stories on mdl lol. rather than basing it on ratings, comments, reviews, or even watching the a couple eps yourself is a lot better indicator of whether you'd enjoy it or not. but ofc that's up to you, i'm not your parent lmao. you do you.

i want to watch for koo kyohwan alone (and jung haein), but idk if i can handle another season of that kind of heartbreak.
