Another paean to Sasaeng

Imagine the scene, a DHL delivery driver comes to your door. He has a parcel for you. But he won't actually leave the parcel with you. Instead, he insists, verbally and physically on pushing past you into your home because he's your Number One Fan and just wants to see where you live. Romantic, huh?

I watched this drivel for 5 whole episodes before I gave up. Maybe it gets better after that, but:

- the premise that a man/woman you 'love' will return that feeling as long as you bully/stalk them enough is repulsive (to me);
- this is another failed kdrama attempt to create a MPDG - a flawed concept at best - but particularly where the 'M' instead of 'manic' means barking mad;
- the ML spent the whole first 4 episodes SHOUTING pointlessly, at every turn (only some of which was justified by the FL's creepy behaviour); and
- they've cast a 40-something woman as the FL who tries to appear more 'youthful' by doing the dumb/blinking/staring thing. Repeatedly.
