in what way is it bad? i dont know korean nor chinese (mandarin?), but i’d be curious to hear if the things that sounded weird to me was bc they spoke it badly, or if its just bc i havent been THAT exposed to mandarin

sometimes a loss is not a loss, and in this case it felt like that. the thing I do agree w u on tho, is the 2nd couple. although the proposal didn’t seem THAT rushed to me, i think their getting together was

this show went beyond all expectations. sure, it has its weak points, but the red thread that tied it altogether being love in its many forms was such a treat. the legal cases, personal lives of the characters and conversations were all tied tg by this red thread, and the maturing of the reflections and conversations around love between the characters was so nice. honestly, i feel like this “meta-angle” on love (if that makes sense) is what made it so unique, bc it made me emotionally engage w the minor characters of the legal cases. it’s very rare for me to experience that while watching a drama in this format. AND, even the office politics that seemed a bit random was tied up in a way that it reflected the red thread - mr. Ko’s love for the company he started came out victorious, and he let go in the name of that love

i would 100% agree w u if this was an isolated event, but in several intimate situations, they have ended up looking rather deeply into each others eyes. if someone i was not interested in (or at least romantically curious about) looked at me like that, i would be doing everything but meet their gaze

do u regularly look people platonically in the eyes for an extended period of time in silence like that? kudos to u if u do

omfg?? actors should have done a worse job w the chemistry😭

i don’t really like the second couple either. primarily bc the 2nd ML seems a bit immature. she’s right to hold back, regardless of insecurity. when he confesses and says that kids don’t matter for example, it just makes him seem lost in the heat of the moment and not very emotionally mature. a lot of people will say things like that in the initial phases bc they genuinely believe it doesn’t matter, and then realize later on that it does

just me, or is ga-ram one of the few MLs that has a personality that i would acc love to have in a significant other. he’s just so playful, enthusiastic, positive, emphatic and has immense faith in people. IN SPITE OF what he went thru w his illness and the doping scandal. he’s also able to recognize his mistakes, correct them and move forward. idk, just really loved this character a lot

bc the vp knew he got them perscribed?

not yet at the final ep, but something that is bothering me is that (if I remember correctly) ga-ram is getting steroids to treat his condition? like it was prescribed to be him by a doctor? and I understand it’s important for the plot that the drugs he’s taking are considered illicit if ur an athlete, but no doc in their right mind would prescribe anadrol for an autoimmune condition, considering all the side-effects and minimal effects in actually has in treating such a condition

yooo the gazing into each others eyes??? and they didnt even kiss?? so intimate waaa, romance HAS to be on the table. at the same time im a bit worried cuz how they gon solve the boss-employee obstacle?

u referred to my law degree and mocked me for being “dumb” in my comment. my comment was related to politics which u don’t really learn a lot about in law school, so a law degree would not have much to do w it.


also, why IN THE WORLD, would i prefer an innocent man die by false allegation?? where have i indicated that i prefer that? so unnecessary to put words in someone else’s mouth, and then lash out at an opinion u projected on me that i don’t have. why do u have to be so mad? i swear, it feels a lot nicer to just communicate w other people in a respectful manner even tho they’re not physically in front of u

thank u for the respectful tone, i really appreciated that🫰🏼not my intention to make him look guilty. i brought it up mostly bc ppl are fighting in the comments about this constantly, in a way that acc makes me really sad. there’s a lot of misogynistic and anti-woman language from mostly other women, and that was my motivation for writing the comment. things are rarely as black and white as some of the comments here make it out to be (on both sides). i also don’t like the language used about the woman who accused him, bc she might have falsely accused him (again I have no opinion around this), but next to that there are 100 other women who see this kind of language, and decide it’s not worth it to take their rapist to court bc there is a high probability that she might be talked so horrendously about by other women. so i hope u understand where im coming from with my pov

not a hater by any means, i quite enjoy his performance in this show. also, ur right i used an unrelated topic. however, it was to show u that ur logic is not sound, but that flew right past u ig, i’ll explain, no worries🫰🏼but first i gotta say tho, u gotta do better w the insults, bc if u wanna get technical, this is politics and not law. so if u wanna call someone dumb, it’s nice to get those things right!

my comment was simply to show u that ur reasoning “u can support [insert any oppressed people] without making it about [insert the reason why that people is oppressed here] is not very sound. i don’t get the need to be so rude?

just like u could support abolishing apartheid in South Africa in the 90s without making it a race thing? lmao unserious comment

thank u for the rundown girl. wasnt really needed tho, unlike u, im not a law student, i acc hold a master of laws (professional degree), and ur comment is totally uninteresting. u know why? bc u responded to me in a reactive and defensive manner, to such a degree that ur not even addressing what i was talking about in the first place. did yall have philosophy of law yet? my comment addresses a topic within that area of study, and not criminal law. i was talking about issues surrounding morality of laws, not whether he’s legally guilty or not. i clearly stated in the beginning that i don’t have enough insight about the case. i was just saying that there’s no need to so viciously defend him like ur doing (to the point that u can’t even respond logically), nor is there any need to viciously hate on him. we don’t know what happened. all i know is that patriarchy enhanced by money can bring any woman down. we have seen it a million times, just as we have seen false accusations from vengeful women. however, in my country, women getting raped and not getting a ruling in their favor happens way more often than women making false accusations in court.

ur welcome😌 hope im not one of them🥹 but yes i completely agree!! im watching and loving this drama myself (and his performance) aka im supporting him. i didnt even know its been 9 years, thats crazy. i have never engaged a lot w the kdrama community, but this meeting w it makes me kinda sad with all the internalized misoginy

stick it out. they all pull themselves tg. i acc quite liked that depiction bc they redeemed themselves. i think it’s very human for both adults and youth to have an irrational and emotional initial reaction when something they care a lot about is threatened. it’s what y do after that that matters, and I think they solved it beautifully

and for the rape allegations. im not going to say anything about this specific case, bc I really have not heard about this case before, so I don’t know enough to make up on opinion. but I will say this: yall need to stop using a country’s laws as a moral standard. laws are NOT some perfect moral standard that have the power to undo a rape. rape is non-consensual intercourse period, in South Korea, Sweden, Brazil, everywhere. however, many countries’ laws do not reflect that AT ALL. unfortunately, laws reflect the biases of the lawmakers, and only 20% of Korea’s National Assembly are women. that in itself does not immediately equate unfair laws, BUT would sexual harassment be so widespread in korea if it wasn’t a culture for it amongst men? would 4B be a thing if women didn’t feel oppressed by the patriarchy in korea? i get that many of u like this actor, but don’t defend him if he doesn’t deserve to be defended at the expense of women. it’s only thru sisterhood we have managed to get our rights in a world that has always been oppressive towards us

the people commenting that the age gap is disgusting must be in their teens or early 20s. it’s good that u think such an age gap is disgusting bc some significant maturing needs to happen for it to not be disgusting (e.g. a 35 year old w a 20 year old. bc what does a man who could be a dad of three have in common w someone who barely just graduated hs???) HOWEVER, when ur past 25 and in ur late 20s (like FL), a 10 to 15 year age gap isnt really something most ppl think about a lot if the chemistry is there and u met organically
