This scene in Would You Marry Me takes men's feminist solidarity back 10-20 years. Why is a random guy pushing aside a doctor MID CPR and telling her to cover up instead of publicly shaming the pervert filming her?

No beating him up in secret later does nothing.

Would you marry me, so far, has been such a nice revisit to 2017s romcom kdrama era.

Minus the unnecessary stress. Our male lead is a grumpy teddy bear with sense and sensitivity. Our female lead is mildly bumbling but not a fool. Every time she stands up for herself she leaves a mile long burn.

Genie, Make a Wish!

(A first impressions thread)

4 minutes in. Holy info dump. Even in the lovely voice of Kim Woobin that was a lot.

Did I really need to know my hero's entire motivation before the story even starts?

See this is what takes me from liking a drama to suddenly loving it. 'When Destiny Brings the Demon' was chugging along just fine being cute and funny and dealing with immortal cannibalism... ☠️👀

UNTIL! (cont)

I'm so late to this party, but the Apothecary Diaries is the best thing on my watchlist right now. You've got an FMC who's part chemist, part doctor, and all poison enthusiast trying to survive palace intrigues without getting beheaded. Maomao is my standard for historical heroines now.

Watch Fireworks Of My Heart they said. It's a cute Yang Yang romance they said. So why am I depressed 10 episodes in over career ending injuries and the thanklessness of rescue work? 🙈

Don't mind me. I love #cdramas like this. But I'm ready for that com in the romcom now.

And yes he's perfectly cast as the adorable puppy faking the serious rich boy. I also understand that the chaebol sitting awkwardly on him is supposed to show that he's not really that guy.

BUT the writing is very inconsistent with his character. 🧵2

Watching My Dearest Nemesis and love Moon Ga-young as the brave, competent employee who needs the job but won't take power trips from her bosses.

Choi Hyun-wook though is a mix bag. His younger man, forced to hide a love of bad fashion + rock music, can't quite pull the fake stoic chaebol off 🧵1

I went to get you guys receipts but threads is full of love for Jin's Close to You (ost for WTSG) right now so these are all I could find. BUT THEY'RE OUT THERE! I HAVE SEEN THEM!

Why k-drama endings suck (quite often).

Common wisdom blames the live shoot model, but I've seen enough pre-produced dramas give dud second halves to believe that's not the full answer.

There's a bigger culprit. Let me explain in DEEETAIL... 😄

Okay I did some digging on Twitter and there's a fake account. The second one with the blue icon is the fake one and seems to have grabbed the handle here. The top one with the pink icon is the legit account. I reported them here too. Let's see what happens. 🤞

Friends, I have started Brewing Love and found what was missing in my life. A doe-eyed empath and a Kim Se-jeong.

The way he looks at her is weirdly healing. Like he's grappling with his feelings but also in awe.

Which, you know, Kim Sejeong. Who wouldn't be in awe? 🤣

Anywho, I'm hooked.
