Lonely Housewife Nook

Aw, it's so sweet I threw up...kinda...sorta...not really. Anyway, they fell in love when he in his twenties and she was seventeen (hey, it happens). They were getting married but both were too young to deal with it so they split before the ceremony. She ended up with two failed marriages to his one (once is enough for the lesson if you pay attention in class) because they couldn't forget, and when they reunited they sparked anew. The kids are cute.

Wow! The mystery! The drama! The suspense! The gratuitous violence! The orgy of ... Oh, wait... I'm thinking of something else. *Ahem* Right, moving on... Here we have an art theft, some kiddie love (not that kind!), a couple of criminals, the upper echelon of law, some weak stabbing action, a marriage for the sake of caring for the kid... It's sweet, actually. Lots of tropes crammed in, but sweet nonetheless.

In this episode of the Rich and the Arrogant, two brothers toy with the fragile affections of a woman for their own selfish and egotistical satisfaction that metamorphosizes into true and everlasting love for the elder. He fell in love at first sight with his younger brother's fiancee, then the brothers hatched a breakup plan. Now he's injured and she's his nurse, and so he lays himself bare then feels betrayed and she flees and he chases... Cute-ish, but so overdone.

This is interesting, inaccurate, but interesting. He's attracted to her business acumen, classy style, lovely physique and he wants her to be the incubator for his child. She swallowed the dribble mommy dearest fed her, she would never have children, so give up on marriage and family. That was cruel! But, because she loves him, she accepts his offer if they can 'conceive' the old fashioned way. Through their 'transaction' they find wuv and babies!

Holy shit! She is in a male-dominated(?) field (is acquisitions male dominated? Haven't a clue) so she puts up with harassment and innuendo because the boss has ALLOWED her to reach the top DESPITE being a WOMAN, what the ever-lovin' fuck? If you're good at your job, what the fuck does it matter if you have ovaries or a testicles? Read this to know what NOT to put up with!

This: A study in wrong facial expressions for dialogue/situation. The story is ... the okay cookie-cutter type. Difference: She finds out she's preggers, they rush from hospital to jewelry store to get the ring for the shotgun wedding, then immediately back to the hospital for the miscarriage and she's in a coma for a week. After the tiff, HE goes incommunicado while she recuperates with her absentee father's family before man comes to bare his soul.

Ah, humanity's inglorious shittiness. She collapsed at work and has gone to Italy to stay with her friend. There she meets her friend's lover, at first not liking him, but he's a nice guy so she tries her best, though the Fates are having their way. Later her friend announces she's pregnant and as much as the ill girl likes the man, she can't compete with a fetus so she leaves. A dramatic hunt and confession, they part, then a ruse is revealed and lovelove!

So, she's a sheltered young woman, thus I give her all the worldliness of a fourteen year old from a boarding school run by fanatic Nuns in some high mountains and has now been tossed from the cloister into the real world. That allows her leeway when she gets all hot and bothered by the dark haired sex idol. (Ah, now it makes sense!) Beyond that, the plot was interesting enough, the target of revenge shitty enough, and the fact they don't ham it up too much, refreshing enough.

Is this artist doing a study on Bell's Palsy? (Characters seem to have facial droop, which is interesting) The plot device is intriguing, but some delivery is off. Overall, an okay story, but, Gods, WOMAN! She's a reverse snob and doesn't LISTEN. He's an okay guy, a little arrogant, name a human who isn't, but his family are more salt of the earth. She's all: Orphan=Bad. Me poor (but owns a house) and I'm not worthy! And reporters NEVER tell the TRUTH.

He's in love, but has other things to concentrate on, so when his ignored wife leaves him, his pride smarts and he doesn't chase her until he is compelled to. She suffers from anxiety, and being the center of attention is difficult for her, so when her husband refuses to hear her out, she leaves until he finally has the time to come chastise her. She finally gets him to listen and they start over with the help of her lovely mother-in-law.
