I understand what you are saying. So much of the time, I think I must be watching a different drama than everyone else, when they LOVED it, and I didn't like it at all. We all go in looking for specific things in a drama, and we all have different taste.

I think the reason the drinking in this bothered me so much was it just made the characters do things that made them even MORE unlikeable. And I've watched a ton of K Dramas and know that drinking seems to always play a part. For once, I was glad that they actually gave a drama the correct name when they named Drink Now, Work Later, so it was an easy one for me to pass on.

The problem, for me, is that the woman disguised as a man is never believable. The women are always so beautiful that they would never be mistaken for a man. The only exception was Park Eun Bin in The King's Affection.

I sometimes go off on tangents...

I think CWS is a terrific actor. I was, apparently, one of the two people in the world that didn't like Our Beloved Summer, but he was good in The Package, and he was EXCELLENT in Ho Goo's Love.

Love is blind and she chose to see what she wanted to see. Add to that the discovery (or actually opening her eyes to) the fact that her family was a nightmare, and that sent her reeling.

Thank you so much. It FINALLY became clear to me at the end. It was just that when I watched the clips before watching the show, it seemed like he was more involved with her before the time jump than he was in actuality.

Thank you. I guess I'll have to go back and re-watch the first episode. He was in it so little, so I didn't quite get the antagonism. If you're willing, feel free to spoil it for me. I've got two episodes left and strangely, that's been the one sticking point for me.

Can someone explain why Do Guk was so mean to Yi Joo in the first episode?

Normally I don't like melodrama or revenge, but sticking with my normal genre certainly hasn't worked for me recently, so I'm starting this one today. I've really enjoyed reading people's comments.

All the episodes have been released. Where are you watching it?

That was exactly what I was wondering!?!?!

Thank you so much for this information. I am removing this from my To Watch list. I cannot abide stalkerish, forward women.

Wow, thanks for the warning. That sounds like an absolute train wreck.

The way you described the SML and the SFL was perfect! Are most of the writers men? That might explain the dichotomy. Sometimes I think that it's because if a woman is pretty, she thinks she should be able to have whatever she wants, entitlement. Plus, the female characters are able to get away with so much. I know that respect is a big thing in Korea, but the ML often puts up with a lot of conniving from a SFL, which never seems realistic to me. There have been a few shows where the SFL has been so bad, the white truck of doom would have been welcome (of course I can't think of them right now!)

Maybe they only think it's a love triangle if all parties are romantically involved? Then, to me, that becomes infidelity, and that's another matter entirely.

Do they consider it a triangle only if the person likes two different people? I don't know, but it seems like almost every show has either one or the other - 1) the secondary guy that likes the girl, but wants her happiness, even if that isn't with him; and/or 2) the secondary girl that thinks that OF COURSE they guy is going to choose her, even when she does evil stuff to get his love. To me, this is one of those K-drama tropes.

Okay, now that's just weird. Of course, technologically speaking, if there is something out of whack, it's always me.

Skip episode 0. That's a mash up of things that you'll see in the regular episodes. Or watch episode 0 and then seriously FF through episodes 1-2. I'm finding it very draggy in general, it seems very repetitive.

The time skips are usually pointless.
