CIL is definitely a hidden gem. A drama made for awkward people 🙈

Haha enjoy! If you can't find the link, let me know.

Exactly. I feel there's no real point of getting mad at Da Rim for initiating the lie simply because you personally think lieing is wrong and unforgivable since the drama never tried to trick the audience to expect anything else. The MDL plot summary clearly says that Da Rim lied about her marrital status to get the job. So we always had the choice to decide if we wanted to watch a drama that would revolve around a complicated lie. Alternatively, if the audience was also supposed to find out that she was lying only in ep 9 along with Ji Hyeuk, it would have been more acceptable to get so mad at her because she lied to the audience as well.

We can feel frustrated with Da Rim for taking so long to reveal the truth but there's no point getting mad at her for initiating the lie just because you strongly hate liars and cannot tollerate it no matter why they lied. 🙈


(Honestly the MDL plot summary makes Da Rim's first kiss sound so much worse than it actually is since she kissed him before she joined the company so if anything the plot summary promised something even more messy than it actually is).

Ngl whatsapp is the bane of my existence 🤣
I hate it and kiiinda like it 🙈

CIL was so good! Quite unique- but not for everybody🥲
I watched it along with "Somebody" (ML was a sadistic psychopath in it) so the overall experience was...interesting🙊

Haru is available on youtube if you want to watch it!

"competing with each other with regards to who could act worse" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now I'm almost curious to try it just to see their "effort"😝

Yep, it just isn't worth going throigh so much just to have a tragic ending 🙈

Haha same here. I've relegated myself into re-reading my favourite chapters. The ladt time I actually read an entire book was when the cyclone hit us recently- that too was because there was nothing else to do😅

There isn't a webtoon right? It does have a very classic webtoon-y vibe though

Honestly episodes 1-2 give a clear idea on what kind of erson Da Rim is and what to expect🙃

She was numb with shock. Her mother had a stroke and her sister was on the run. It's too much to process.

That sounds nice honestly. Not to be distracted by endless reels and other posts. My own accounts are practically dead since I stopped posting years ago. These days I mostly use them for messaging/ keeping up with the current events (I’m abit of an hermit so I tend to miss things). How do you keep in touch with your old friends/ etc (i know kind of intrusive but kind of curious since I’m notorious for losing touch by accident)🙈

Lavender Haze is the dreamy feeling of “falling in love” - it’s like everything becomes rosy and hopeful? There’s a kdrama that kind of simulates this - “Call it love” starring Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Kwang.

Older Jdramas are some of the best dramas out there- they just feel so nostalgic and yet so relatable. Have you watched Haru? It’s from the 1990s - quite similar to Tom Hanks’s “You’ve got mail” but with an interesting twist since 90% of the movie is based on chat format with barely any actual dialogue.

Ohhh I didn’t realize that he was the ML from Go Ahead until you mentioned it 🙈 Yes, that’s the one. Even I added it to my list because of ZJM (for a VERY short second I actually thought it was yet another drama of hers with ZLH 🙈).

I haven’t watched Go Ahead - there’s just too many spoilers out there that you can watch the entire drama through fan edits. Is he really that bad?😅

Seriously?! I can’t seem to escape weddings 😂 Then again, I avoid tragedies specially with Cdramas (wayyy too many episodes to go through eventual heartbreak) so probably why😅

Webtoons have their own genres too but most romance/ melo stories tend to follow the same formula Kdramas follow lately so it’s hard to miss the signs. It’s just my glorified way of claiming that I still read. Do you have time to still catch up with novels between everything else?🙈

I would love to try mangas like with Keita Hatsukoi but it’s just too difficult since they cram so much in the tiny speech bubbles whereas my sight is too terrible for them😅

How do you resist social media?? I’m always tempted to deactivate my accounts but it feels kind of pointless since you just need to login again to reactivate them (even if I’ve honestly forgotten most of the passcodes)😅

Oh one last thing - have you watched “The Hotelier”? It’s an old Kdrama (Jdrama as well). My SNS keeps targeting me with fan edits that can only be described as “Lavender haze” 🙈

It looks really tempting but I’m afraid I might be too woke for it. 🙈 I mean I usually love old dramas/ movies regardless of the country but with Kdramas in particular, there is this glaringly obvious “outdated” factor usually that kind of ruins the experience 🙈

I’m going to wait till the holidays begin 🙈 Don’t want to get sucked into yet another binge fest (I have very little self control) 😅

Btw did you try “Shine on Me”? The episodes are out now.

When I first started to watch Cdramas back in 2022-23ish, it almost felt like a cult. A C-romance isn’t a true romance unless there’s a baby involved in the final episode. Guess they’ve toned down now.

With Kdramas, it’s far less by comparison. With MMH it makes sense since the webtoon also had babies involved (+it’s the ultimate opposite of their original timeline). Now that I think about it, most of the romances that ended with babies (that I know of) were based on webtoons that had babies in their spin off episodes (like Perfect Marriage Revenge for example).🤔

“A war of attrition” perfectly sums it up! It doesn’t even make sense to go after him anymore now that SU made it crystal clear that he has no interest 🙈

I’ll compromise with an off screen relationship…it would be just too awkward to have SU fawn all over her right after pushing her away.

I honestly thought they were going to give her a "self love" final arc since everything about her screams "i need somebody to love me". But now I can't imagine how they could execute it.

The mum's meddling would probably mostly be related to ending the engagement and she might not actually pursuit after poor SU- then again the Yus do not know what "no" means so who knows?😅

Fire scene- To be fair AEJ did actually lift KJY and even walked abit during the filming- they released the BTS. Being clumsy/ accident prone doesn't mean you can't be strong.

The lack of smoke/ sooth/ on them/ being too pristine after they escaped was definitely a faux pas.

I get what you mean but some of the audience might not be as considerate unfortunately. Have you seen some of the comments below? 😅

Then again, it's the lie that makes the plot. Curious to see how they will tie all the loose ends next week.

Oooh thanks for the heads up! When i checked around a month back there was supposed to be an X account that shared links but they have to accept your follow request. They didn't accept it🙈

Most fansubbers are moving to discord, drama otaku, and Patreon so it's difficult.🫠

I used to have this issue alot with cdramas -used to drop the last 2 episodes or so since it got too meh after the MC gets married😅😅😅

It's improved though...or at least I've learnt to pick better dramas🙈

There haven't been that many cdramas lately that ended with Twins right?🤔
