Prepare to be slaughtered for "character misrepresentation". I agree about GH, she's on the whole all of those things in ep 1-8. And I totally dislike her. But in ep 9 Gil Chae showed how independent and competent and reliable she can be. Obviously it would have been a mistake if she'd run off with JH instead of keeping going on doing business and taking care of her family her own. And JH did not promise to marry her, that was a major thing. Their love was doomed from the start. There is attraction but no effort to communicate clearly (like why couldn't JH explain what he's been doing during the war and in the Ganghwa island). They just hurt each other, due to pride, and there's no way the deep lack of trust that goes both ways could suddenly be effaced. (Yes, other people will take to "explaining" why GH is so great but I don't care. She really has been utterly superficial and generally impossible so far. I really can't identify with a character who regards herself as the most beautiful girl and loves staring at herself in the mirror.

From the writer of Secret Mother. Will def watch.

All the crazies who can't stand opinions differing from theirs, pls do block me. I don't get what's wrong with these kids. Everyone has the right to their own judgments.

Now now. People who disagree arent trolls.

Totally agree. My rating went from 9 for the first episodes to 7.5. Short flashbacks are normal for things that happened in the past, not entire episodes. This is very bad writing indeed. It's not a question of who are the "mains", it's about present and past events.

It's utterly wrong to say you are right and other people are wrong. Pls this is the one and only thing you must have learned by spending time at this site.

No one has said it's plagiarized. You're misunderstanding.

You've been around so you should have learned by now that everyone sees and interprets dramas differently. There's no such thing as a misrepresentation of a character. I don't want to see organized fan action in MDL, everyone should be allowed to express their own interpretation. Fans should not try to fight for or elevate a drama as a movement.

it's an adaptation. so why read comments if "we" are sick of them. I wonder if "we" have decided this point is worth fighting as group, or whether you're royalty. Webtoon adaptations are not worse bc they're adaptations so acknowledging the fact that this is an adaptation does not make it less worthy. Little Women writer said the drama was an adaptation but I never saw any similarities to the original. So she was just overly honest about it. My Dearest is also historically factual about the Qing invasion which is a merit in my view.

Yes, FL is bound to get at least some moments of clarity or bravery. But I just keep remembering that I hated how the FL was written in 100 Days My Prince just as much. It's from the same writer as this. Agree that SFL seems clingey and obsessed and could easily turn out to be a psycho. And she prob also had a role in the past life as a destroyer of their lives.

I would think an adult professional woman doesn't have a crush on a co-worker let alone confess it like a middle school kid. But maybe Koreans do that at their workplaces. Dunno. But FL is too childish and airhead and borderline retarded for this day and age. And the love potion stuff, how much more of a teenager can she be. She didn't even care one bit about ML's illness. I'm just admiring Rowoon in this, and happy for his screentime.

I don't know a line of work where workers are not constantly reviewed and evaluated. By bosses, co-workers, by customers. That's just the reality.

Really great / essential actor. Just wish his roles weren't always villain ones. His best roles are in Little Women, and Heart Surgeons. In both he shows an amazing range.

Football is full of cheating, lol. Lead with 1 goal and everybody suddenly falls over and is rolling in the grass in great pain. Maybe this line ("in football everything is, as it is") was meant to make us ponder on how everything is kind of murky and subject to interpretation. Even with cameras false or unreasonable decisions can be made. It's about the context too, meaning camera decisions shouldn't be crucial in winning championships. If "it all depends" is the message the drama ends up conveying (instead of "it's so if I say so"), then it does a good job.

ep 8

Loved ep's 1-7, but the parents backstories are boring to me. I skipped most of ep's 9-11. Parents' stories could have been shorter flashbacks, with the main story with Frank still moving along, imo. Hope they come back to the present in ep 12.

kids vs parents is not the point, it's flashbacks versus the present (with Frank)

I got very bored during eps 9-11, no story progression in the present. Skipped most of those episodes. So not true, imo.

Everyone has actresses and actors they don't like. It's not hating forgodssakes. This site has too many people who are babytalking and controlling the discussion as if they had any right to do so.
