MDL - that odd place where people are ALLERGIC to dramas not being full of positive vibes only ✨ and angrered…
Yes, I know it's normal to have a dramatic event like this in the middle, but the drama is supposed to be a romantic comedy, not a melodrama. They randomly added cancer to the story. But overall, it's a very good series, which is why I said that depending on the next two episodes, I'll decide whether to keep watching or not. But it's just my opinion! Sorry if it offended you.
I don't expect everyone to think like me. This is a comment section about the series, so let's not be presumptuous in assuming negativity from others just because they don't like 'melodrama.' We all have our tastes. But I believe, as I mentioned in my comment, it's a plot to show the ML that there’s a part of the FL he doesn't know, a period when they weren't close. Totally understandable.
Hmm, I've been having a problem with Korean dramas lately, where I get to episode 8 and completely lose the will to keep watching. It's incredible how they reach episode 8 and start adding a bunch of unnecessary dramatic plots, making everything so exhausting, and it’s just tears and drama. The genre is marked as *Romantic Comedy*, not *Melodrama* (which I avoid because my life is busy enough, and I want something more cheerful).
And sadly, this happened with this series. Despite its issues and the struggle to find oneself, I think adding more drama to the situation is unnecessary. It was a light and fun show, with just the right amount of drama to build the characters, but now it’s turning into something totally different. Depending on the next two episodes, I’ll decide whether to continue watching or not. If it's just to make the male lead think, 'Wow, there’s a side of Seok Ryu I don’t know, and her ex knows,' then fine (which is what it seems like from the preview). But if they make her sick again with cancer, I’m out, haha!
I loved watching this couple so it didn't bother me at all. I guess they gave PWX a beard to make him look older.…
I have to admit I was feeling a bit sensitive when I made that comment haha, but I’ll just ignore it and keep watching, I really like the two main here hahaha.
OMG, I also tried watching ALTCFL again and couldn’t handle seeing her teeth looking that horrible, so I ended up skipping that part too HAHAHA! 😂😂😂😂
I'm 20 minutes into episode 1, and I'm irritated because they're supposed to be 'older'—20 years have passed, and nothing has changed, lol. They couldn't have chosen older actors to play them 20 years older? It makes no sense. This is really ANNOYING me.
Wish ML's in Kdramas are also strong where they are openly shagging many many women, lust after hot women and…
Of course, if you have someone who’s attractive, rich, and successful, it’s obvious they have an active sex life, both the actresses and the actors. Life’s too short....I hope they’re enjoying it too. 😊😊😊

Like I said, I think it's about trends. There were so many shows (older ones) where the male lead was the playboy, and the female lead was the untouched virgin, and that went on for like 15 years until now they've started doing the opposite. And honestly, it was unbearable, you know? It also doesn't make sense to have characters who are like 30 years old and have never had sex or a relationship, it's kind of unrealistic. But at the end of the day, most of these shows in the rom-com genre push this illusion of the perfect opposite (whether it's the female or male lead), it's a fantasy. And maybe it's not meant to be true to life.
Sometimes it's better to drop it when you see it’s not your style rather than getting stressed out. I love this site because it has great search tools like 'strong male lead' or something like that. I recommend you use it.

I don’t get why it’s such a big deal to show the FL buying condoms. She’s an adult and in a relationship. Sexually active people should protect themselves, right? I don’t see it as “boasting about going through boxes of condoms” It just so happens that the ML works at the convenience store. Have you guys never bought condoms before? That’s kind of worrying…
But I get that maybe you prefer romances where the ML is a player, so this might not be your kind of thing.
I actually really like ''bad boys'' in shows, but I gotta admit, it’s been a while since I’ve seen them in this kind of romance. It seems like they’re not in trend anymore, and they (writers) usually go with themes that are similar to whatever’s popular at the moment.
I usually wait for everything to be released and binge it in 2 days, BUT I WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS DRAMA THAT I MADE THE BIG MISTAKE OF WATCHING THE FIRST 2 EPISODES. And, of course, I LOVED IT. I was looking for a light and funny rom-com. Ugh, it's going to be torture waiting all week for the new episodes
I'm not sure if I liked it or not. The beginning is weird, and the information is just thrown out there. And then, out of nowhere, the lady just lets a complete stranger into her house. The son, who's depressed because his wife died after his mom kept nagging him a lot, suddenly decides he likes this complete stranger and goes back in time to kill himself to save her, leaving his daughter (who he never really paid attention to or knew well because he was too selfish, stuck on his dead wife who was cheating on him) alone again.
Other than that, I liked the set design, it's a visually beautiful show to watch. I also enjoyed the soundtrack. As for the story, I liked Da Hae's uncle with I Na more. I wish they had more screen time, too, especially Da Hae's uncle and Bok Dong Hee as a couple. And I loved Bok Dong Hee and Grace together...they were so much fun!
I haven't finished it yet but I wanted to praise the soundtrack. The instrumentals that play at important moments make it seem like an old film when orchestras played the tracks. Without a doubt, it added an extra touch.
Hi, MariaEduarda. The impression you have, many have had. First of all, there is ep 40.5, showing the married…
And to be honest, the ending was meaningless. For the common consumer (I watched it on Netflix) there is no talk about the extra episode so the ending was empty... If I didn't come here to comment I wouldn't know about this extra. I think it tarnished the series a little. But overall it was an amazing series. I hope fans don't keep meddling with the scripts. As I said here in another comment, if someone expects happy endings, I'm afraid that period Chinese series are not something they should consume.

I have no problem with sad endings. I really expected the sad ending as it is typical for this style of series. I was speechless because I liked it so much hahah.
And I didn't like that they changed the ending to please the audience. I think that's wrong. But I understand that because of all the protagonist's suffering, people expected her to have a happy ending.
