Regardless of how her 10 years have been, the decision to break up and her indeed hurt him at that time has nothing to do with how her 10 years later been. It was realistic, but before the break up you can clearly see that she started feeling annoyed and she couldn’t even tell him she moved into the dorm. Breaking up over a phone call when he was the one who called too, isn’t the most respectful way to a relationship. She isn’t heartless spoiled brat, but regardless of how her life crumbles after, the break up itself was hurtful to Taeseo

Yes, I think people think she meant it’s a waste of time in a way that is saying you are wasting my time, which isn’t entirely true. however, I don’t disagree she wanted to prioritize herself at that moment in life. I think we can all make a decision like that, it’s not wrong, and it’s even better to tell your partner earlier so you are not giving false hopes / just keep missing promises. but she does need to recognize she hurt him in doing so, especially over the phone. I can understand she was young and was green, so hopefully 10 years later she showed growth!

There is nothing wrong for Eunah to prioritize herself in a period of time where she found her passion and only want to focus on herself. Taeseo doesn’t bring her joy anymore but instead, matching schedules feel like a burden. I understand that feeling, even your break time you only want to give it to yourself. She is at that point, loving herself more than loving him, which isn’t a wrong thing. She may not understand it, but her heart was quick to realize and made the right decision, for both of them. It would have been bad if she continues to forget to check her phone, forget their date on a confirmed time, missing promises and stalling him. It is a choice she made in her 20.

Taeseo on the other hand, his life is filled with burden and responsibilities. Eunah was his only breathing room, and the only thing that isn’t a duty but something he wants. He was not interested in “likes” and “futures”, therefore in the relationship, he is the one that will try harder to hold on, even physically he literally cannot continue anymore. Once that has gone, it makes sense he stopped caring for dating and only focus on taking care of his family. He said “I already forgot that I shared the streaming platform, or even the reason why”. It means this 10 years he wasn’t “hung up” on FL, he moved on with his life too, but he just never found anything else.

What I would like to see though, is at least showing Eunah feeling apologitic and Taeseo to feel a bit more distanced. It wasn’t a wrong mistake and we all live with our decisions. But how Eunah broke up over the phone without truly trying harder, she did hurt Taeseo. Started using your ex-boyfriend’s streaming account after 10 years, then asking him to not worry about you also is quite hurtful and selfish. Characters can made a decision that hurt others, what makes a drama good is to see how it’s handled and matured in their ways of handling the same situation. What changed with age and experiences? That’s what make this reunion trope never gets old.

I think their break up was very realistic. In that time of the life, when you are chasing your new found dream, sometimes even your break time you want to spend it on yourself. It was just that in that moment, eunah realized she was more important than any romance, and she chose to prioritize herself. That’s not a wrong decision, it would have been better for her to break this early on then later not being able to keep promises or stalling him.

Though I think in this drama the script writer made it clear for ML to say “I already forgot I shared the music streaming platform with her, or the fact that why did I even shared it in the first place”. Like life he moves on, but she was the only light in his life that was full of responsibility and burden. After eunah he just never had time, opportunity or energy to chase after anything. Wood work maybe one, but he isn’t living a life. I can understand why he didn’t date.

I don’t think so. He said he already forgot that he shared the music account or even why he shared it in the first place, only until recently Eunah started using it he then remembered. In the 10 years he was just focusing on living his life. If he didn’t date, that’s likely because how much burden he has with his own responsibilities and lives and he did not get to do anything he wanted. He said so much, he was not caring about his own likes and life before, and he just went back to taking care of his family afterwards.

What are you even talking about… he doesn’t wear much make up? he even known to reject heavy make up in his idol days. His lashes are naturally thick and dense.

I know someone like that. he just doesn’t look this handsome lol

I think the translation doesn’t really capture that meaning well in English tho. that’s not what she meant

I can absolutely understand it. While I do, I think it was a “selfish” move but it doesn’t make it wrong. she has every right to prioritize herself and her dream. It is the right decision, it is good for both of them, better she tells him earlier than later when it gets ugly and he will only be disappointed more and more. I do think still listening to ML’s streaming account, calling to say don’t worry about me, and then going to the station - that was a bit more selfish than I would like, but then, characters don’t need to be perfect, my only hope is that for the remaining episodes, she actually grows her love for him and learn to not give up the moment she’s exhausted in life (just like how she ran from SML too when things get hard). That would be a great character growth to develop!

Caught up to ep5, liking this so far! Hit me with that line about Happiness is always there and for people who picks it up!!!

Happy to agree to disagree, gotta leave my 2 cents tho. Just because they are more quiet doesn’t make them same character. Hosu and Taeseo are very different people. Hosu is insecure and reserved, Taeseo on the other hand will start a bike fight with eunah, not insecure, and way more proactive in relationships. he does not lose his hearing due to mental health, it’s temporary tinnitus after extreme stress and trauma and it was only temporary. two different things as one is actually deaf. The purpose for taeseo was just to show his stress and burden, not to say he has an chronic disability that drives his insecurities. characterizations in subtle acting shows you the roles in small ways.

and Kim minju’s acting is also very different than in the movie and in her last drama. She shined very well in ep1-2 especially as this is her first time acting as a lead who has major speaking roles and screen time. she conveyed eunah in such a convincing and lovable way.

Have to hard disagree on the acting opinions since both of them excelled in making taeseo and eunah authentic and real, actings served these two characters so well they got lots of praises. but to each of their owns. Plus, lots of personalities but director took his directive decision to show not tell. we are only in ep1-2, there’s quite enough depths shown so far and personally I can’t wait to see more in future episodes.

yes ep3-4 this Friday

looking at this person’s completed show pretty obvious they came because somehow they are insecure about their faves lol

people are down rating it one

it’s a very specific kind of genre, slice of life isn’t for everyone but if you have enjoyed them before, this one is nothing like what was described because it’s meant to be pieces of moments that resonate with everyone’s life, not about the most exciting plot :)

the director has mentioned in the press con, the key point of the drama is it is something very common and happens with everyone’s normal life! it is exactly why it drawn him into the script, it’s how real the emotions feel and relatable so the plot isn’t the most exciting or new, but it’s the moments that will resonate with viewers 🥹

many people were rating it a one what do you expect from people

100%. they had their first kiss and <3 the same night LOL how's that slow lol

many fans like to drop 1 ratings from competitor dramas or antis of the leads. It's a known thing tho. They got a lot of ratings of 1 just to drive down the ratings on imdb too. that's why people say don't trust the ratings. read the reviews in the comment section would be better at least
