Scarlett O'Hara. Objectively, correctly, exactly her.

Gone With the Wind.

I really think this needs to give more attention to the historical background. The focus on the characters and their relationship isn't enough. Moving Gone With the Wind to Joseon doesn't really make much sense to me. We all know the historical background when it comes to Gone With the Wind and that's an important part of the film. I expect My Dearest to get better if or when or if it gets distance from GWTW (after all this is 20 episodes). Bc the main thing that got my attention in the first 4 episodes was how NGM started waving his fan everytime he had a line. I hope the fan doesn't make a comeback since it's winter now.

everybody here: we want to turn this into a steoretypical romcom and it's a failure if it isn't.

I don't understand taking a dislike to well written realistic characters. Somehow it doesn't make sense to me. A drama needs characters. Characters that are pure black and white or simple caricatures rarely get much criticism. The same kind of criticism was made of the mother in Good Bad Mother when the whole point of the drama was that she was good and she was bad. Maybe people don't know the difference between fiction and reality, at least, that's how it comes across to me. Maybe character criticism means people try to figure out right and wrong behavior. In irl there are moral dilemmas everywhere and nobody's perfect. This thing with character criticism when a drama is exceptionally well written, is a big letdown to me. People be like: King The Land is pure cliche. Not Others: why can't this be pure cliche, we want a stereotypical romcom.

Comedy comes in different genres like music. If this were music, it would be trot. Unbearable to me, not a question of UNDERSTANDING. I hear trot, I turn off the volume. These are gut reactions.

but the new apartment was already his comfort place where he felt better

very true. & expect to be slaughtered by the babies. Newcomers expect this to be a fansite. There's value in opinions though, I check out after initial impressions whether someone who watched further shared my impression.

why did he leave his apartment. Why did he turn off his phone. Not explained, imo.

I found this boring and draggy. The support characters were caricatures, so I started skipping everything with them early on. To me the humor was forced and the leads didn't get to shine. Didn't get emotionally attached to any of the characters. Now pls understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and experiences. Do not attack me or claim that my opinion should not be here. My preferences and sense of humour just weren't matched with this one. I also have my own history of viewing dramas and I already know that I only like characters I can empathize with.

The genre is similar so not completely different. I anticipate this is going to be great but the similarity to Devil Judge which is a masterpiece is something that cannot be denied.

That happens to be a huge similarity.

yeah that's Han Ji Min's forte. Just reminds me why I can't stand her except in Our Blues.

I felt the same.

I dropped this

Short but sweet. I did skip maybe even half of it, but still this is great for that moment when you can't decide what to watch next. The men around Go Ho are all so sympathetic, in the end they were shown in a very positive light regardless of age and looks. That was a nice surprise.

Two more episodes to go and they still haven't found it and still not even seriously searching

Nothing happens, boring and bland unfortunately

This one was much more entertaining than I expected. But it requires turning the brain off completely. I liked Kim Young Kwang in Go Ho's Starry Night, this is why I gave this a chance. His acting is very good. I disliked Jin Ki Joo as the secretary though, she was too much of an airhead and borderline retarded. The contrast between her acting as Veronica Park - smooth and elegant - and being the secretary was too big. I expected her to show the adult side of herself more after she got caught but no. I don't know why producers think that cute, silly and naive female lead characters are relatable, it's in a way showing a contempt of viewers. But this is still a very bingeworthy fluff drama.
