Even tho it's controversial, who else is enjoying?

Caught the first episode when it first started, thought that it was quite funny though some parts weren't family friendly (anti-vice and when they introduced the comic artist). Took a break from it started again when I ran out of interesting dramas. Must say it got me interested again and laughing out loud during the funny parts. Don't think it is offensive since but can't get the jokes from the reggae dude scenes.

Reading peoples comments, and I haven't even started watching the show yet so this says a lot. I would like to point out I'm black so I would like to provide a few points about 'Rasta' guy.  

Is he a Rastafarian? Because Rastafarianism is a religion and is there any indication he is practicing this that makes him a Rasta? If not, are ya'll only calling him a Rasta because of his dreads? If so, not all people who wear dreadlocks are Rastafarian. 

Also, why of all hairstyles would dreadlocks be chosen to be worn by the only character who is a bum and lazy? If you can't see the implications of this, you might have the privilege to ignore this.  But don't make other people's opinions and how it's uncomfortable for them insignificant because they're ruining your drama experience with realistic insight. If they find it uncomfortable how about stepping away and looking at it from their point of view. 

Korea has always had issues when it came to the black community. I lived there for a year and was even told by my co workers how they felt bad about having preconceived notions of me being black and how I was able to educate them to acknowledge and understand my experience. And this character ya'll are going on about is the exact reason this conversation needs to happen in the first place.

The way you say 'your own values' sounds like you're talking about religion or philosophy. Like we're talking about whether there is life after death or something that is mysterious and up to speculation. 

Portraying the only character based on a historically and CURRENTLY oppressed race of people as dirty is not personal values. It's plain and simple offensive and has nothing to do with 'values'. I am still watching the show (quite like it so far) but I ask that you please educate yourself before blindly brushing off a very valid reason that people might take offense. 

You said it well don’t worry about her/him not everyone has the same mindset ❤️

After ep6 I'm liking this show more and more - the tension between Dae Hyun and Saet Byeol is starting to build and I can't wait. I feel sorry for Yeon Joo though - family pressure and all so I hope she ends up  with Seung Joon cause they are a good match.

I like marsh-melo dramas too!

So True.

Just finished ep8 and loved the ending. Can’t wait till ep9 airs. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung have great chemistry and play off each other very well. 

Still don’t see what the uproar is all about but then I’m not easily offended. 

Not to dismiss anyone's opinion of what is considered offensive, but you can find someone who would be offended by just about anything. Again, the show has issues, but what show does not. I do not think the problems are so egregious that I have thought about not watching it. I find the show keeps getting better. If you do not think it is, or you just want to show you disapproval by not watching it, that is okay too.  The first few episodes, I kept wanting him to go Healer/K2/Whirlwind Girl 2 on everyone. It reminds me of those dramas that feature a Plain Jane/Ugly duckling character, and they always seemed to be played by one of the most beautiful people on Earth and I struggle to get into the story because I just do not see it. It was hard to see him in the role of a typical FL being so passive and mild mannered. Now I see CDH instead of some of his other characters. I also think he does comedy well. Both help to make watching the show more enjoyable.
