MIJI is a caring man, the other is a little boy not grown up...Why they've carried this back and forth (the writers) this far is beyond me but, 2020 has proven to be a k-drama year when the best man is not always winning the battle of love!

They'll make him grow up now that they've been apart for 3 years. Cliché.

I'll be honest. As of now, I don't see none of them as a good match. They're unhappy together. Also the FL became just a trophy at this point, the writer's will to develop her (and other characters) got lost along the way somewhere between a toiled and out of the window.

True. The whole plot seems all over the place. They had really good characters, and the whole Sandbox story was pretty cool. But now it's all a mess. If it weren't for the actors doing a pretty good job I would have dropped the drama already.

I just hope that, whatever happens, they give all the characters the good ending they deserve.

But have you noticed that in the main poster Ji Pyung and Dal Mi both wear white and form a sort of white heart???

Miji

From the start it was Miji - after15 years it is still Miji.

Do san is just an extra. .. A character that has been created ... Miji did all he could coz indeed he is a really good boy. Whatever the story of Do san I can't find any reason that he is good enough for Dal-mi . . all along Mr. Han was there to catch and to Guide Dal-mi not Do san..

I agree ... this Drama is showing that Life is unfair.

Chae :
as much as i enjoy daldo and want to ship them, i cannot lie to myself that i am team miji
and i cant exactly point out why i love the miji pairing so much but maybe because they are just naturally drawn to each other since the beginning???

true...

Yes but, this much stupid is too contrived. Most of the actions are not realistic and logical. I guess I got spoiled by "My love Eun-dong" I can still watch that once or twice a year!
