Oh Jung-se gets the girl in Uncle. This may be an unpopular opinion because the drama got high ratings, but I suffered through Uncle. I hated that the show tried to gaslight us into believing the nephew was this singing prodigy when the kid couldn't carry a tune to save his life.

O/T Re OJS never getting the girl.
For years I waited for Kim Kyung-nam to get as much as a kiss (DEFENDANT (2017), (STRONGEST DELIVERYMAN (2017), PRISON PLAYBOOK (2017/18), COME AND HUG ME (2018), and WHERE STARS LAND (2018). Finally in THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH (2020) he got a kiss but from the wrong girl (you had to be there to get that lol). I was informed that the KKN ‘kiss issue’ had been resolved in the very well received SPECIAL LABOR INSPECTOR MR. JO (2019). I hope to get to it some day.

Not holding my breath.

Sic, c’mon, this glass is half full, not half empty. It’s going to be great.

LOL!

*Krabby Patty oh god I'm not a real 00s kid apologies to my generation

LMAO I thought of that Plankton too 😭.

glad I'm not the only one who thought of spongebob!

I really like that WDH pic above but the shirt he is wearing intrigues me. It looks sort of like a ‘Hawaiian’ shirt under a jacket or sport coat.

@stroopwafel, can you tell us anything about the WDW pic you chose? Was it part of some model gig of his?

I just read an article about how this is the summer of men’s clothes inspired by the Seinfeld character “Kramer”, at least in the US 😂

The first Oh Jung-Se drama I watched was When the Camellia Blooms. His character was a real jerk, and I carried a somewhat negative association with the actor on account of that. (I know one should be able to separate the actor from the characters they play, but sometimes it’s hard to resist the impulse.) Then I watched It’s Okay Not to Be Okay. Now I will watch just about any drama specifically because he’s in it. Add Woo Do-Hwan to the mix, and I wouldn’t care even if the show was called Mr. Feces! 💩

I honestly don’t know what to expect from The Trunk.

I watched this one too and I found her way more annoying as she did not like him complaining about her male friend but then was all over his friendship with the man he lived with and had been friends with for years, she did not need to allow the misunderstanding re the ex boyfriend either. I don’t know why he was still interested all those years later.

I should clarify: I don't like it in ROMANCE dramas, and when the other lead is not the person they are in a relationship with.

I don't like it only when FL or ML are betrayed by their partners and this is the reason for the breakup of such relationships. Especially in the case of FL, the script often gives FL such an "excuse" for having a romantic/sexual experience before meeting ML. I'd rather those past relationships just fall apart because love is over (it's over forever and nothing can revive it), not because of infidelity. Korean dramas most often portray FL in such a way that only being cheated on "justifies" having more than one relationship in life. I see this as a form of misogyny. Relationships can fall apart because love is over. Relationships can fall apart because people get bored with each other. Relationships can fall apart because there was no love in them at all, only lust, and it burned out.
As for the plot of this drama, it seems to me that FL did not love her fiancé and her marriage was supposed to be a form of escape from loneliness in exchange for being part of his family. Perhaps even a form of material arrangement, without feeling on her part, which is why she ran away from the wedding.
