A Gentleman's Dignity Episode 16
8 people found this review helpful
I'm not enjoying the last couple of episodes as much as the rest of the series, but as I absolutely adored every episode up to this point, I'm still enjoying them to a degree. Things were starting to drag just a tad, there were some unnecessary scenes, but not too bad at all at this point, especially for Kdrama rom coms. They were still full of great moments.
The timing was right for some light to be shed on Yi Soo's problems. I absolutely loved the scene where the gentlemanly F4 came to her rescue. It was hilarious and heartwarming.
Very much liking the blossoming of relationships between Yi Soo and Colin and the rebel kid and Colin. And finally a very sweet moment between Rok and his wife! And the ending was very cute and promising.
I think the main reason it's felt rather draggy to me is I'm experiencing major culture gap here. I just can't wrap my head around why it is SUCH a terrible thing for a woman to date a man with a child. That makes zero sense to me no matter how I try to put myself in Korean shoes. I would think of that woman as rather admirable and "wow, she really loves that guy". That people would think there is something wrong with her is just not something my American brain can understand. So the apparent conflict between the leads is rather dull, to me.
Also I really don't see how they can keep this story up for four more episodes. Two more should do the trick.

Is she finally going to start helping Gaksital at least a little as I'd hoped since she first came on the scene? Really enjoying her character, messed up as she is. Is it just me, or is there way more chemistry between her and Kang To than with Mok Dan? Sigh, the futile Team RaRa to end
