I watched the 1st 2 ep and my overall opinion is I don’t hate it? But I’m not also enthusiastic about it either.…
cant agree more on the lead's dynamic, might be too early to judge this but then again they spent too much intro quota on fl alone and that sure hurt the chemistry of the two main characters
Two episodes in and I don't know if this is own personal emotions clouding the picture but this drama, while well…
"but this seems more grounded" "Despite the absurd forbidden romance premise, most of the characters seem to be very reasonable people with quite realistic problems and normal reactions to these problems."
kinda funny that those were the reasons why i really enjoyed this drama. the subtlety and grounded approach of it really help me absorbing every bit of the story. this is why i like visiting this comment section once in a while cause i get to read all sort of different view points :D
Still... would it really hurt to throw in a few feel-good closure scenes for the characters? Like Gu meeting Chang…
well i wasnt blaming the screentime since ive got no issue with the ending (or feel good closure as you wrote it) or the lack thereof, admittedly it is indeed slow paced but i dont think thats a flaw nor i feel its dragging but thats matter of different point of view so yeah lets agree to disagree

limited screentime probably but anyway since gu asked mi jeong 'how is chang hee?', i think its implied they would meet at some point and thats enough for me
some people might not enjoy the ending because it is not satisfying or this is an open ending or the writer couldnt conclude their story but i dont think this show doesnt have an ending nor it is bad. they way i see it with usual kdrama, they show their ending in a form of certain event but here, they dont have that event. instead it is implied in each characters, how they learn to accept and/or change some part of themselves.
this show wanst a passion, issue/trouble nor villain oriented that need to be solved at the end. since the beginning this story has never been one with a fixed goal, its more about the process/journey that each characters went through, its a life story. i think this is most apparent with change hee's 'ending', how he meant to attend that art class/seminar (???) but instead went into a funeral director class instead. he find it quite amusing he decide staying in the end. he thinks thats where life is taking him, just like through all the story he always end up somewhere when it is the time.
i think a good story is one that left you in thought and wonder how each characters would go on their live based on how they story had gone. it doesnt mean the ending can be whatever you want. the ending is there, it just the story doesnt tell you explicitly. a story doesnt end when the credit screen roll, it end when people stopped thinking and talking about it.
I feel like the drama has been a tad bit messy lately? idk like something about the transitions between the scenes…
they did shift the tone more frequently in recent episodes but i think they handle it well. and the time line was indeed messy lol but i think they did it on purpose...... for better or worse
Wow, there were a few unexpected developments in episode 13 and 14.This was a very moving and realistic depiction…
yeah theyve been really creative with the camera work in recent episodes, i especially love the titled camera during gu scene at the bar, really capture the emotion.
