I have never been so happy to be completely wrong about something. My initial thoughts of what I thought this…
I agree with you. I was literally ignoring this show as my expectation was something else. I thought it's going to be cheesy university romance with cheesy comedy and drama. Glad this show has proven me wrong.
There is zero chemistry between FL and ML , In the 11th episode, it does feel like that ML is in love with the FL just because Baek In hyuk is such an amazing actor , but the FL always looks so stiff to me. They dragged the FL and SML storyline so much that now I can't imagine the FL with the ML. It's such a shame . The ML and FL had so much potential at the very beginning. They could have made their relationship go from enemies to lovers because of the child. They could have shown how family makes everything better. I'm really going to miss this drama after the last episode. Thus , I will always be disappointed by the fact that they could've made this drama so much better.
Real talk: Apparently, it was clear that the FL never liked the SML. It's true that she was attracted to him, but she didn't really like him. She admired him as someone who is good, handsome, and talented. She never asked for his help either. It was the SML who actually tried to make her like him. This can justify her confusion. However, I really wish the writers hadn't dragged the SML storyline and had instead given more screen time to other characters, such as the neighbors, Tae Hyung's friends, or Woo Joo. They could have made it more heartwarming for the audience. They should have given more time and beautiful scenes to Hyunjin and Tae Hyung so the audience could see how they heal and support each other without asking for anything in return. That would have made the climax of episode 9 more emotional. I think the writers wanted to avoid some clichés that are common in K-dramas (like making the SML a villain or giving the audience second male lead syndrome), and they did succeed in that. I must say there aren't many clichés so far, but in trying to avoid them, they made the story feel bland, especially the chemistry between the FL and ML. This drama had great potential since the birth rate is very low in South Korea, and finding the right partner to raise a child with is not easy. They could have shown the drama from that perspective. Unfortunately, they have turned the good SML as an annoying character and the drama into a cliché.
This is the first time I've watched Surfjava and omg their chemistry was top tier. I laughed , smiled, blushed through the whole 4 episodes. I must say their acting was so natural, it didn't feel like that they were acting. Also the writing and the story is rewatchable . 10/10.
I've watched so many dramas but never in my kdrama stan life a SML ragebaited me this much , I'm really fed up with the FL . She should already take a decision . I don't mind her being with the SML . But she's just dragging it and keeping both of them on the hook. I just like Woo joo's relationship with Tae hyung. SML is a green flag as he's also trying to get the girl he likes but mannn this whole episode he was just ragebating me. I even shouted , 'Go back to your boyfriend ' Iykyk . However, the main problem rn is the FL. She needs to choose.
exactly . almost half the drama is the love triangle so far ... and the FL always looks to have a great time with…
Writers are making it difficult for the FL. I like her character but I'm afraid I won't like her character if she chooses SML over our woo joo's Uncle 😭
The scene where Taehyung sees his surname and Woo Joo's surname, also when he says woo joo doesn't need to wait forever made me so emotional . The daycare scene was the most beautiful scene of episode 6. The writers better not waste this precious drama with same old love triangle story. I'm liking the slow burn between ML and FL but the SML is ruining it for them tbh. Those scenes are just not necessary imo. They should write more scenes with Woo Joo , his Auntie and Uncle.
I've just binge watched it. Can't wait for episode 7 omggg. Why it's not Saturday yet!!!
