      Moving was shit. I can't believe slop like that is rated so highly.
      Maybe I'm just tired of the same old shitty storylines, but the whole premise of teens with special powers going to school was boring as hell. Well actually I like that premise, what sucked was the whole government to cultivate them and monitor them as well as the mandatory assassin/foreign power trying to kill them

        I thought it was a little jarring going back in time after the first chunk because I wasn't expecting it, but they were the best episodes imo, and then bringing everything back together for the final episodes, it was a really well structured show.

            My liberation notes is very good, I did not expect to ever enjoy something so heavily slice of life yet I do. The characters are all very realistically imperfect and uncomfortable without being "so quirky omg". I'll take any suggestion for things with a similar vibe / acting quality regardless of genre.

                I mean a huge part of the Korean war was the US having Japan manufacture goods for the south, this was a huge boost for Japan's economy coming off ww2 and made fighting the commies in the north much more smooth. Japan became much more US foreign policy friendly after Hirohito unconditionally surrendered but that doesn't mean the other countries forgot what was done to them in the past.

    >“Dare to Love Me” is a romantic comedy about the love story between Shin Yoon Bok, a 21st-century scholar from Seongsan village who believes deeply in Confucian values, and his art teacher Kim Hong Do, who has a reckless and straightforward personality.

    Shin Yoon Bok (Kim Myung Soo) is a successor of his family who lives in Seongsan Village. The village maintains the appearance from the Joseon period. He takes the appearance of a Confucian scholar and follows what the elders in his family says, but he is also a young man who is full of adventure and a rebellious spirit. He has a dream of becoming of a webcomic writer. To attain his dream, he runs away to Seoul. There, Shin Yoon Bok meets Kim Hong Do.

    Kim Hong Do (Lee Yoo Young) is single and works as a contract worker for the design team of a mid-sized apparel company. She does pretty much everything there, including running errands, and her colleagues on the design team look down on her, but she maintains a positive attitude and doesn't give up on attaining what she wants. Her dream is to work as a designer for a global luxury fashion brand. She keeps moving forward for her dream.

      Love to Hate You is overall mid (and Kim Ok-bin is unrecognizable in this poster). But episodes 2-8.5 (10 total eps) really nail enemies-to-lovers and role-reversal. Might be worth a look if you are starved

    There are several factors, but 2 are crucial:
    -Koreans mostly stick to defined gender roles (men who like women and vice-versa) and solid, timeless tropes
    -Koreans MAKE AN EFFORT. They're repulsed by sloppiness and both competitiveness and national character/regional traits (most Asians are like this) make them strive to do their best regardless of what they do.

      No. The FL and ML only have eyes for each other, but they have a very rocky relationship which the SML - who has loved the FL for a long time - takes as license to try and steal her away. The FL always rebukes his attempts whenever he makes his intentions known, however.

            yes he was, the relationship / friendship between him and FL could have been more developed, instead they went for the stock "autisto" personality for his character so they didn't have to bother... the show has a lot of wasted potential

          She was fine but I didn't care for the professor and the character drama. Would be nice actually if they delved into the folklore a bit more. It also would have been fine if she and the prof's grandma were just screaming like raving lunatics every episode.

      As a matter of fact I have two adopted cats.
      And I guess I'm ready to move on with that prostitute.
      You guys were right, the russian girl sent her boyfriend to tell me that she has a man and to leave her alone, I don't know since when since she said she didn't have one a month ago.
      But I'm ready to accept that all the nice things in my life are pure and unadulterated bullshit.
      I don't have family, friends, I'm apparently the lowest caste in my country since my life has been shit in here, I can't feel god, I can't relate to people and all the good things I could have or be mean dick to everyone.
      No one is ever going to love me and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
      Done, I'm not doing it again, so stop calling me a schizo.

      that fight was over rated. Last 10 seconds were great, but it was fairly one sided.

      Jiri vs Rakic was sloppy but it was a lot more entertaining.

      It starts off well, but by the last third it goes off the rails in a really bad way lol. Don't even start if, not even worth it one bit, your deductions are right

    New episode was weaker than the previous one. The plot didn't move that much.
