I think it's to make her look vulnerable but I suspect she's going to turn out to be the most powerful person in the family. I love how the production thought through all of these details.

I think it's a version of what's called a colatec: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/04/in-daytime-discos-south-koreas-elderly-find-escape-from-anxiety. It's a place where older people go to dance. It's not primarily about flirting or pickups though I guess that could be happening.

The mother warned Gwiju not to marry his wife because she didn't see a future for them but he did it anyway. Meanwhile she's pushing Da Hae on him. So I guess it's a tragedy that Gwiju didn't listen to his mother but if he hadn't married, Ina wouldn't have been born. It's all sad and very interesting.

I think that's still very likely to happen.

Yes and especially because she didn't remember it at the start of the drama.

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes has a ML like this.

You're not supposed to have sympathy for the villains yet, that's coming later. Following the daughter is supposed to be creepy.

What are some examples of morally gray FLs? The only two I can think of are Hyena and It's Okay to Not Be Okay. I think that there are a lot of MLs who engage in outright criminal behavior but you're right, it's far less common for the ML to be a player or have a lot of (or any) previous relationships. The Smile Has Left Your Eyes is one example.

In real life a 33 year old who's never had a relationship is a big screaming red flag. I said the same thing about Lovely Runner 😅

Toilet humor is very popular in Korea. If you watch older dramas there's a lot of potty humor. It's toned down a lot in the past ten years or so. (I don't like it either and I didn't like the elevator scene)

The sex scene was also hilarious and yet also sexy, I enjoyed the convenience store to the bedroom arc way more than I expected. I hope this stays funny, sexy and charming.

I see people who are dropping because they dislike the FL. I don't like her much either but I'm not dropping because she's interesting and it's obvious she's going to get character development. I'm very interested to see how they turn her around from a grifter who sleeps with and marries her victims to a genuinely caring person. It's nice to have a morally gray FL esp. because all of the characters are deeply messy and no one is wholly good except for Ina.

I would stick with it to at least ep 3 because there was a very interesting plot and character development at the end of ep 2 between BDH and Grace.

That's what I said, Bok Dong Hee is kind of a spiritual twin to Grace, both women who are judged by their appearance alone. I think that is a very interesting dynamic to explore and I hope it's done well because I hated the earlier scenes of BDH stuffing herself with junk food

I do too, it's discordant and disturbing while also eerily beautiful

I would describe it as gothic with a big dose of dark humor

>>Like how could he return to a moment that never happened?<<

In this universe time is apparently like a line that stretches to infinity in both directions. Everything that will ever happen is happening somewhere along that timeline. So his future self could return to the past because it was already happening while the present and past events are happening. It's also a time loop paradox where a past event prompts a future event that leads back to trigger the past event.

I expected it to be funnier especially because Go Kyung Pyo was hilarious in Love in Contract. But the pacing is way off. It feels like there's a lot of dead air and parts where nothing much is happening and it's just not interesting. Things get better when the 2ML interacts with the leads so I hope the show picks up eventually.

I want to like this drama but the editing & pacing are way off. It feels very flat which is the opposite of what you want with this premise. It's not the fault of the actors, they are doing well, but it has weird cuts, dead space, and a boring OST. I'm not dropping yet but I hope it picks up. It's a shame to waste a good cast and concept like that.

I hate the fat suit but their scene together surprised me, Grace was compassionate and suddenly I got the vision that they are more alike than different, women who think their only value is in how they look
