Same reason Westerners say Asia/Asian when they clearly only mean China/Japan/Korea?

in 90% of shows I don't mind the melo at all. I'm okay with serial killers messing up my romance as long as the kisses happen at some point.

@vienibenmio I don't know when it was announced that the spinoff was happening but it seems there is/was more promotion and excitement even before the characters interacted onscreen. I think they're only interacted 4 maybe 5 times over 2 weeks.

@enriquequierecagar yeah, I guess a new and provocative concept would stir up excitement. I don't think this has been done in a kdrama yet so that's also fun.

I didn't even realized until that all four main characters in No Gain No Love acted with each other at some point haha

Shin Mina & Lee Sang Yi (Hometown Cha Cha Cha)
Kim Young Dae & Han Ji Hyun (Penthouse)

Haaist. I kept getting interrupted by the page refreshing. Is it normal for you? Then I cannot find what I was writing on. Anyway, trying to reply to 9tailedVixen’s update on what’s happening on the Korean front in terms of status of women. Thank you for this. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Is there any media discussion on women getting online relationships with celebrity actors? They’ll start by reaching out that their management prevents them but he/she needs the contact with fans and all. When there is no money involved (maybe early stage), I guess it goes under the radar of not being an urgent scam? But it still is as normally it’s the other end that is in a vulnerable position. Dears, please beware. For the actors, if it were true, please get some therapy. That is why I understand bromances and sismances observed nowadays really do make sense as a way of coping with the stress of a ‘caged’ life. There’s nothing wrong with them. Enjoy your week beanies. Oh, by the way, anyone in Seoul or Busan or Gyeongju from the last week of October to early week of November? Let’s have a café meetup.

With you beanies on this one! What a gem. With 2 more weeks to go, nothing can make it go wrong, right? Fingers crossed. The trope subversions! And you beanies’ reactions and comments here, gold! Even a treatise on avocados. I did not add the avocado i grew up with— as iced dessert (in milk and sugar)! Already 15K+ views on this page! I wonder if Prime will carry the 2 episode spinoff on our second leads.

Honestly, that would be better because then at least it would fit with all the other bad titles we’ve had! Bad titles is not an area in which I need originality.

Exactly, being known as X’s daughter by so many people who knew me when I was younger blah blah blah….I bet our mum’s would get on well.🤣

A lonely but nice loser with terrible fashion sense and a horrible sense of humor? Honestly the most relatable character in a long time.

Shakespeare classics like Taming of the shrew, comedy of errors and Tempest anyday.♥️

I wonder if there are any kdrama adaptions based on them
