I really enjoyed the back story of Sang Gil. That's why I liked episode 11. But, I hear you...the cute act was annoying a hell.

Episode 11 has more on the past of Sang Gil, and the connection to Tae Ha. I don't want to give it away, but if there is any depth to any of the characters, you'll find it in Episode 11. Along with a twist. One I didn't see coming. I will say you can pass up 12, because it goes right back into boring cliche' drama stuff.

Totally agree with your summation, especially of the ML. Jung Hae In was so raw and gritty in D.P. which made it so good. He needed to bring some of that grittiness to Tae Ha, but seemed to settle on too much cuteness, or just blankness. He was blank a lot of the time. My favorite part of the story was the young Sang Gil. But, yeah, the rest was just a carbon copy of what is already out there and been done 1,000 times before.

I wondered the same thing, but episode 11 will tell you why. Stick with it. Episode 11 was my favorite.

Report away....I did nothing wrong here. I posted a review...an opinion. It differed from your opinion. There is nothing legally, ethically, nor morally wrong with a difference of opinion. If you keep harassing people because they differ in their opinion of a drama from you, then you'll get kicked off this site. This website doesn't revolve around you. Get some perspective and leave me alone!!

The exact words I wrote are, "...the fighting and blood was kept to a minimum." I did not say nor imply that there was no fighting or violence at all. I started out the review by saying it was like Weak Hero Class and Study Group which suggests there is fighting and violence And I said they solved issues by going under covering, hacking into phones and computers....ALL OF THAT WAS TRUE!!! I don't know what bug you have up your butt, but get off of my review and leave me alone! And, get a life. It's just a review, it's my opinion. If you don't like it go read other reviews. There are a million of them on this website. If you continue to harass me, I WILL REPORT YOU and your profile to the webmaster.

I should have clarified. In comparison to dramas like Weak Hero Class and The Glory there is less violence and torturous bullying. But, yes, it still does have some violence and bullying. I thought it was less in comparison, but obviously you didn't agree which is fine. My review is my opinion and mine alone.

I have absolutely no beef with KSH whatsoever. I don't know him. I only know of him from a couple of Kdramas I've watched. I have formed an opinion about the situation...that's all. It's an opinion that differs from yours...that's all. Don't take it so personal. You act as though my opinion that he is not all that innocent is some sort of personal attack on you. It's not. It's not personal to you nor KSH. We could pluck KSH out of this situation and trade him for my favorite Korean actor, Hyun Bin, and I would still have the same opinion. My opinion is based on what I've read from different sources, logical thinking (and examples throughout history) that tells me 1) people don't always live up to their celebrity image, and 2) authority can be swayed by celebrity status, and the utter risk her family would be taking by manufacturing something to artificially create a scandal doesn't make sense. All of this combined for me to form my opinion. That's all this is. And sharing it on a message board on a website is going to affect nothing and nobody. So maybe just relax and not get so worked up about this. And, oh by the way, I'm a doctor too.

You know, telling me about how Kim Se Ui's father is a well-known politician and this scandal was deliberate to cover up the presidential impeachment isn't helping your case. It only confirms that South Korea is corrupt, people in high places and power positions (including celebrities) use their position and influence to avoid being held accountable. So "everything" is fake except the pictures of KSR's other boyfriends and guys she dated.....okay, sure.....right . You have your opinion, and I have mine....and we will not agree. Us normal people will probably never know the real truth. We will only get the version they want us to have because money, power, influence, and celebrity will win out and sculpt the message.

Well the only thing that has been determined to be fake are the Kakao messages, and that was determined by the police. That's not "everything." And, how do you know that the police weren't influenced by status and celebrity to make their determination? It is well documented that celebrities can get away with illegal behavior using their status, influence, elite lawyers, and networking with those in power like the police, the justice system, politicians, etc. in order to never be held accountable for their actions. Before this happened, KSH was South Korean's top actor. That's a lot of clout and influence he had. There are plenty of people, powerful people, who would be more than willing to help Korea's top actor come out of this looking innocent, even if he wasn't.

I never bullied her. I didn't even know about her until her death. As far as KSH, there are examples outside of this situation that point to the fact that he is not the most pleasant person.

I agree. I keep asking these questions:
Why would the family give the press information if it wasn't true?
Why would the family risk breaking the law by trying to slander KSH if it wasn't true?
Why would they take the risk of possible legal punishment for making all of this up?
And now, they're not even being mentioned. But her family is the one that pursued this. Why are they not in trouble too?
So the core materials were "...false or manipulated but Kim released them anyway..." suggests the family is the one who did the faking. Really? That's one high-tech family. How many of you out there know how to change messages, audio, video to make it fake. Even if you have AI? I couldn't do it.

I dunno....this isn't as neat and tidy as they are making it out to be.

Let's say for instance the relationship was just while they were adults. His company didn't suddenly have to demand money from her to the extent that she had no other choice but to kill herself. What a despicable company...what a despicable head of a company. What a despicable thing to do to another human being.

In my opinion, he's a selfish narcissistic greedy asshole even if he didn't date her when she was young.

Seeing the big picture and how all pieces fit together. I agree. Thanks!

So what is the Conspiracy Theorists you've gifted me with? What does this mean?

In a narration, she talks about not wanting to disturb his peaceful routine. That's why I felt she didn't want to be a burden to him. That alone shows love. Also, there were times when she purposely came to see him. The last time when she heard the other girl enter his apartment and didn't stay. Neither were overtly loving toward each other, anymore than how you might act toward a friend. My review came from a perspective of their psychology having gone through what they did when young. I read another reviewer whose take was one of not letting go of the past. Their relationship didn't get much closure in college, but it did end. Once they saw each other as adults, they couldn't move past what they had had, yet they could never fully be together again. It's definitely a drama with a lot angles depending on how you perceive their behavior.

Honestly I don't keep up with BTS, and hadn't heard about the woman at Jungkook's house, and only saw a post about the Winter/Jungkook dating scandal in passing while I was on social media. I didn't even click on it to read, so I'm not at all driven by dating rumors. But I am empathetic to their inability to live their personal lives openly. That's all I meant.

I hope so too.

Some of my worst run-ins with fans have been with Army. Sounds like you're a healthy realistic fan. You might appreciate this--I flew to South Korea a year-and-a-half ago. When going through customs in Incheon, I came face-to-face with RM. Dressed in his military uniform, he quietly waited off to side until someone came to escort him through a door. He was alone, and just chilled until security could take care of him. To this day, I think I was the only one to notice him. I was the closest to him, about 3 feet away. I was pretty much amazed at how chill, relaxed, and laid back he appeared. He attracted no attention at all. I feel for all the BTS members, caught in fan expectation vs. who they are as real people. I know there is a scandal Jungkook is in right now with possible dating Winter. I hope they are dating, and I hope they are very happy!!

I thought his parents divorced when he was young and he was raised an only child by a single mother. So who are these "parents" he's referring to? And if they were there, why haven't they come forward and corroborated what he stated?

Some thoughts in my head as I read this article. You know if I wanted to prove I had a boyfriend in 2001, I could just produce a diary with entries that I actually wrote yesterday. Also, why does his diary contain "letters to his then-girlfriend." He didn't mail the letters? Why did he write letters but not send them? Why aren't we seeing/reading the letters from his "then-girlfriend" if they exchanged letters? He kept the letters he wrote to her (didn't mail them), but has none of the ones she wrote him.....????? This is confusing. Not saying he's guilty, not saying he's innocent....just saying.
