Episode 4:...the phone call. Wow, the phone call...I'm beginning to appreciate, rather than resent, that NF is…
So funny about the slow access - this is the first drama/ movie / book that has my mind spinning after I’m done watching - I cannot stop thinking about the meaning and the characters. If I could binge watch, I totally would. BUT, I’d miss the time to let the epsiode sink in + I’d miss all the reaction from the other people who seem to love this show as much as me!
imo I feel it’s an internal relatability for now. It’s a case of I don’t know why but get you and wanna…
“Thinking about this since yesterday” —> this drama does that, doesn’t it?! 🥰 Yes, I agree Can This Love be Translated also had that theme of understanding more than just the words - comprehending what the other person was saying, grasping the persons idiolect and all their subtext. They not only hear, but understand each other + they genuinely like what they hear. This drama is beautiful on so many levels, just like the beauty of the characters they’ve brought to life 🥰
It’s funny you say that, I was thinking earlier that only emotionally intelligent or people with empathy would enjoy this. A very self centered person just wouldn’t get it or understand what’s going on - they’d miss all the subtext. They’d only find Dong Man annoying and wouldn’t know how to empathize with his plight - so the entire plot would go ~whoosh!~ right over their head.

I think it’s what you said exactly - especially if you look at her character and her talent —> she is incredibly perceptive, that is the reason she is soooo good at analyzing and reading scripts and all the writers want her feedback. So she “sees” him, what’s beneath the surface of him, she sees it when no one else does. He is raw and real, and also is loud and anxious and he is genuine and sincere - the others , the hide and are not honest. She knows she likes him right away as she can see him, while all the others around her are hiding who they are. And the others around her also don’t really like her and are insincere. He likes her, and she feels it.
If everyone around you, if you could tell they didn’t really like you even if they never said it - wouldn’t you immediately adore the person who truly liked you, the real you and enjoyed your company? Makes perfect sense to me their relationship.
I feel like his description of how they all used to sit & critique things together yet they slowly stopped…
Yes, this scene with him explaining why he talks and talks is because he becomes so anxious when he feels how they don’t like him - it feels so real. The actor is amazing and deserves an award.
That’s because they’re actually groups of people that bomb dramas (to make other dramas look good) —>…
ah, right I see what you mean, I thought he was talking about MDL rating, the score isn’t bad, I just think it would be a bit higher if people didn’t purposely lower dramas ratings. I find it frustrating that they do that.
This is the first GYJ drama that doesn't do well rating wise (low jtbc rating) but this is actually her best drama…
That’s because they’re actually groups of people that bomb dramas (to make other dramas look good) —> and yes I know this sounds crazy, but just look at the episode reviews that haven’t been release yet. 4.4 ratings!!! It’s so obvious it’s on purpose because those episodes haven’t even been released, so no it’s just people with ulterior motive!! the rating on the first three episodes is really high (because enough people who’ve actually watched it have given it a good rating.) It’s frustrating as a 1 star review can totally kill a good score. But, yeah, it’s harder for them to bring the drama they want to get good reviews, so purposely tank other dramas.
Eunah's ex- boyfriend is absolute asshole. I really hate creatives who steal their partner’s work. He accuses…
Couldn’t agree more!! - notice she gave him option to take out the parts she wrote and then he could leave her name off of it. He’s angry because he KNOWS it’s not as good without her words - I don’t like him at all and was hoping Dong Man heard that nonsense and would go crazy at him. That guy deserves whatever bad karma is headed his way.
Update after Ep 3 - I didn’t think it was possible, but I like it even more. I actually considered stopping the series after watching the end of epsiode 2 not because I didn’t like it, but because I was so moved by the second half of ep 2 that I didn’t want to see any more, as I felt it was already perfectly done.
Why isn’t there a way to give a show more than ten stars?
Reading all these comments, seems like I'm the odd one for not loving this so far 😭, I know MC is written to…
Yeah, he’s annoying- but he’s in serious pain and struggling to survive …. If you haven’t been really beaten down by life for a long period of time, you might not understand. If you think of him as toxic, maybe try watching until the end of epsiode 2 - I fell in love with this series in the second half of episodes 2, I was on the fence before that. If you still dont see the beauty at that point, then this probably just not the show for you 🤷🏻♀️ - just not your cup of tea 🥰
I just love this drama - at first I wasn’t sure, but the last half of epsidoe 2, I was all in. It’s beautiful- I’d be content if it ended right there - cannot wait until next epsiode 🥰
Episode 2:My gosh, I am falling deeply in love with this show.It has grabbed me by that sweet spot right between…
Yes, I thought she was just awful, seeing her tell her husband gave her much more depth. Honestly, it is her place and Dong Man was being disrespectful…… but, do you think she’ll give him his chance to debut? She went from a neutral character to me, to an antagonistic, back to somewhat neutral — be nice to see her help him out as then she’d swing all the way into the solid good zone!
Trolls have already taken the time to rate episodes 3 - 12 as 5/10. WTF!? Why does mdl allow people to rate episodes…
Yeah, I know - it must be a group thing. Last night there was an 8.7 rating for this drama. Episode 2 was pretty strong, just as strong as ep 1, so why would it suddenly dropped from 8.7 to 8.1? Why? Must have been a group of haters - it doesn’t take many 1 stars troll ratings to bring a 8.7 down to a 8.1. MDL should filter through newly formed accounts that give 1 star ratings.
I think it's because people are getting really mad seeing Ah Jin get away with stuff, so they're taking it out…
Yep - and the watching of it is for pleasure, and this simply ain’t enjoyable for me. I came on this board curious as what other people liked about it. I’m all for a revenge plot or some dark tail if it is clever and well crafted - but I cannot see how the story is compelling at all when the FL is devoid of any redeeming qualities at all. Complex character would be interesting, but she’s just vile. Why do you like it? Are you interested in seeing her succeed in her exploits? Are you waiting for her to fail? I don’t get it.

Idk, it might be. I love the actors in this series, love the sleek cinematography and tension … and I HATE the FL. She is a vindictive narcissistic ĉ word and all I want is to slap both her and her minions that help her be an evil witch. I haven’t given it a bad rating, as I appreciate the talent and everyone has their thing they enjoy watching - but I just don’t understand the appeal? Why cheer for such a twisted creature?
I happened to come across this question on douyin and wanted to see what are the views/theory on this! “If Jiang…
Two reasons - 1) he knew that someone was actually after him + 2) to make it look like someone was after all the executives of the company so the police didn’t start investigating him
