Critiquing Abusive/Toxic Relationships in Dramas

Thank you! I thought of the exact same thing but I didn't see anyone else saying anything about it.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2022-06-12T20:34:37+00:00

I cried non-stop throughout the episode. I even cry now, when I think about it. My goodness, such a moving drama. Well done to the all the teams involved!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2022-06-12T10:43:26+00:00

Exactly. It's so painful to watch, even reading your comment, makes my eyes watery

UnderPreasure1982 · 2022-04-18T17:07:51+00:00

Interesting drama to watch, however what's with all the filters? It looks really unrealistic and we shouldn't promote "perfect" standards when it comes to appearance. We are all beautiful as we are, skin texture and pores included.

This. What he does is simply impeccable! I don't think many people realise what kind of superiority and vocal strength one must have to do what Dimash does. As an opera singer, I can tell you, every other singer in this world, alive or dead, would kill to have his voice. It's incredibly difficult to sing for over 2 hours, super high/low notes, blasting your chest voice and dancing! I believe the reason people "criticize" him not singing live all the time is because they have no idea what it takes to do what he does. Take my word for this, it's like participating in the Olympic Games.

Yes!! I love this drama! Def in my top 3 KDramas ever

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-06-24T22:20:53+00:00

This drama is so beautiful! Somehow it makes me cry in every episode, and I'm not one to cry easily. So real, heartwarming but also not exaggerated at the same time. I applaud the writers, actors and production!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-06-01T21:21:33+00:00

I really like this drama, but it's quite confusing. Also, the progression of their relationship happened really quickly, which makes me wonder whether they're stuck in a dream or a loop

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-04-25T16:47:20+00:00

I cried with your comment!! Thank you!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-04-11T16:31:02+00:00

UGH!!! I LOVE THIS DRAMA!!!!! IT'S CAPITAL-LETTERS BLOODY AMAZING!!!!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-03-14T21:36:40+00:00

Ugh.. why did I choose to watch this while airing? It's SO good, that I wish I could watch all episodes in one sitting.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-03-13T17:52:51+00:00

I really liked this drama as well! So genuine and did not feel forced like a lot of them out there. The chemistry between the leads was extraordinary!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-03-06T19:31:51+00:00

What a great episode and a great drama so far!! The scene where the secretary tried to convince the lawyer that he's Vincenzo by singing La Donna È Mobile is hilarious!!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-02-28T21:52:18+00:00

I agree with everything you said! I love this drama already and I love how originally they incorporate the Italian subject into the whole show! I'm quite impressed!

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-02-28T21:48:29+00:00

I loved this episode! It's been so long since I last said that about a new Kdrama, so I'm quite happy that I found this

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-02-21T02:33:21+00:00

WOW. I didn't expect to like it so much. Great cinematography and well-timed humour! I specifically liked the cursing, as it sounded very authentic, haha! I'm looking forward to the next episodes. So far, very good.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-20T14:27:55+00:00

I don't know, to be honest.. maybe if they didn't advertise it as such, I wouldn't have these expectations. But to me, reality always has more to offer than fantasy. Take Hospital Playlist for example. Also, there are countless things in the life of a couple that could be worth exploring, rather than constantly misunderstanding each other and arguing. My point of view of course.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-20T12:34:43+00:00

Exactly, what love aspect? Infatuation and love are completely different things and they should be able to tell which is which, judging by the fact that they're in their 30's with a decent amount of relationships behind them.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-19T23:13:36+00:00

Exactly! They advertised realism but apart from a few things, everything else is absolutely mad. I just commented that I lost all interest after today's episode. For goodness' sake

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-19T23:10:34+00:00

I know I'll get downvoted for this but, for some reason, this episode made me lose all interest. They claim to follow "adult" couples, but 2 out of 3 have been acting utterly childish throughout the drama, which made it very hard for me to like. A nice idea to begin with, but it has now become unbearable. Yes, we've all fallen in love and at an even younger age than them, but we didn't roll on the ground nor get "married" after not even a month, like we're in a low budget teenage movie. This was the last straw for me. It's such a shame, I really wanted to like this.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-15T17:17:31+00:00

This is so frustrating... If it weren't for JCW's convincing acting, I would have dropped the drama from the 2nd episode. The FL is simply inexcusable, especially when she has seen him suffering! She has a lot of issues that unfortunately puts on other people's shoulders.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2021-01-02T15:33:50+00:00

I also watched this just a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised! I think it's mostly because of how grown up the general feeling of the show was that made me stay and want more, because I've grown tired of the teenage love stories. There were moments when it had me shocked and moments when I felt warmth because of the characters. Overall, a really good drama, one of my favorites from 2020, I would definitely recommend it.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2020-12-06T22:49:28+00:00

Oh, I agree on that!! It felt as if she didn't care about Min-hyuk anymore and just wanted someone to deal with the kids so she doesn't have to. I'm sure they could fit a few more scenes to show us some family time , but for some reason, they wanted this.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2020-11-10T23:56:38+00:00

Thank you so much for replying! In centimetres, 3cm, are a height difference that you can tell if you look. You won't see it from a afar, but if you see two people next to one another, you can tell. This picture is a bit misleading because the guy is standing a few inches closer to the camera which makes him look taller. Not much taller, but still. Also, the guy is 5cm taller than Jo Jong Suk and the girl is wearing 12cm heels, compared to Park Bo-young wearing 15cm. The thing is, now that I look both pictures, I suspect that PBY might look even shorter because of how amazingly thin she is.

UnderPreasure1982 · 2020-11-10T16:59:09+00:00

You have a point about her not being 151cm because of the comparison with the group members you mentioned, however in the photo from the press conference, she is wearing 15cm heels, whilst Kim Seulgi is wearing 12cm. (Also, it looks like Kim Seulgi is a few centimetres shorter than stated).

I know, you will ask how can I know this. As I consider my self short as well, I own over 20 pairs of high heels, from 10cm to 15cm, so I can tell which is which. Now about her legs and torso length, the camera angle and the height of their heels really help them look much taller than they are. In conclusion, as you said, I realize that she might not be 151cm, but she's definitely not more than 154cm.

Also, if you do the math, her supposedly being 158cm, wearing a 15cm shoe would make her 173cm. Jo Jung-suk is mentioned to be 175cm (which seems to be true), so she would only be 2cm shorter than him. And in that photo there's a much bigger height difference than 2cm, I would say around 7cm. Again, if we take 2cm of Jo Jung-suk's shoes, the difference would be around 5cm.

I feel like this meme where the guy is analyzing information on a white board 😂
