I agree it can be hard to watch- For me it is all the sub plots.

me too

I made it pasted 2! BUT for me there is so little interaction between the leads that I don't even know them. I don't know any of the people enough to be attached to their plot. In an hour and a half I expect something more than her trying to "thank him" but get it wrong. IDK- let me know if this is worth it to re-start lol I just think there are better things to watch.

1. Them being in a contract marriage- is just weird and I wish it was done differently.
2. Main couple- I like how they are hiding things from each other until they start getting serious about their relationship. Hia should have explained the family issue sooner or not brought it home or his mom should have said something. I wish that Kuea's other proposal attempts are shown, would be funny to see Hia out smart him. Its not miscommunication that is their issue its miss trust and unwilling to show your true-self on both's side.
3. 2nd couple- I'm going to skip over cold man issues, everyone knows what I mean by that but he is just extra horrible at it and takes too long to warm up But I like how Diao is keeping secrets from him- its almost like a teen hiding hobbies from their mom. For me- sure they are a couple once everything is understood BUT their memoir issue is stupide. They are basically saying it was a dog attack and Diao's been living with him ever sense. So thats like 10yrs? But they act like strangers at home- I wish there was more to their plot to develop them as a couple. The dad plot was pointless.
4. 3rd couple!?!- Listen I needed more of them, cuz they look like a great couple. They should have been given the 2nd spot instead.

~The build-up is great but once I got to 10? or 11 I knew things were going down hill quick. For me the ending is rushed by the proposal issue- I just want to see them happy.
But I do like how they High-light current LGBTQ+ issues- one of them being marriage. They really used this show to spread the word about how unfair it is to love someone but not have the same protection/laws as other couples. I don't think I have seen another show be so blunt about it.

I really enjoyed this! It was the comedy, the sweetness, the steamy kisses, and shy/ cutie bits. Now its not perfect, but what drama is. The plot is super simple turning this into a light hearted drama. For me the plot is more about 'showing the true you instead of the person you think the other one would like better"... its something that both couples struggle with. The acting is good, the music is great, loved the comedy- I'd recommend this
Spoiler for issues-

Oh! as far as the romance goes.... Its more of the deep connect then steamy. TBH I can't even remember if they did kiss or not. Its more sub plot.... Its there to pull you in instead of the focus.

List of Problems:
1. FL- hate how she changes completely from fearless "bad girl" to "religious- head of clan vibe". They make it sound like she should not have any background to fight no one as she spent 10yrs learning how to protect herself( they never say where but we know its not from her mom nor the head mother). They never explain why the mom had to giver her up, other than she had to to live. Did her mom fight evil too? Also why is the FL the only one fighting... what happened to the rest of the clan? You can't tell me no one else felt the evil.
2. When cops don't act like cops.. so annoying. (13+) Cops would never go try to save their family like that. I thought for sure they at lest had their vests on! I also hate how the last cop bro went about trying to solve things.
3. ML-hiding in a hotel instead of working. TBH I hated when they both left. Cuz it was not to get stronger. The fact that the ML knew people would die and he was sitting doing nothing.. I just don't see him as a cop then. People are going to say but that's realistic but for this role he has never ran away, even when things got crazy.
4. I'm also super bugged by them having these special abilities but never use them really. I thought for sure he was making ghost friends to use them to solve murders or hunt the evil guy at lest. I also feel like they gave up on FL being the one to take him down. The whole plot made it sound like she was going to fight him but even in the last moments she's inactive. She was told to chose between the world and love- but I never really saw that happen.
4. There's no point to some of the killing- He forgot his pattern- his serial killer ways! Even if he was playing a new game, he'd still have his habits. The pointless killing is when I started to lose interest in the killer, he'd change too much. I hate how they try to say his reason of being interest in the ML. They did not grow up in any way the same- so they do not share the same pain!!
5. ENDING - Personally I hate how she remembers the sea is full of salt, if they were preparing to fight him they could have used it at the island I feel like. I'm upset that ML could not remember how many shoots were left. But I do like the falling into the sea part- I do wish that all the souls he ate pulled him down instead.

~I just finished this so I'm all up in my feelings

For me... I did not understand the comments here... until I made it to 12- thats when everything toke a wrong turn for me. Its not that I wouldn't recommend it.... cuz before that is a great killer drama. What I think the prob is they forgot this is also a comedy- I'd say about 1/2 its hardly there....which is what I really enjoyed. Sure they try to show it but it is the same with bring in other roles, it just falls flat. As far as the ending... It dose make sense as far as how everything is solved. More info below...

Its the end of an era. These days you'll only find it in small towns, farming community and retirement homes

Also I love a good mob show

In the USA it is possible to have two first names- ex Bella-Rose, Anna-Maria, Beth-Anne. Its just old school and very few still do it.

Going to have to say the start was long- but once the hunt was on it was great! Great ending

"I'm wearing glasses, you can't hit me!" What kind of bs is that? Also... I feel like she knew he was creepy but still went with him... so disappointing.

HAHA! I'm just starting it today... guess I should expect nothing

Song Yi- I find it hard to believe that she is going to leave her things in that other girls room. They never show her going back. Nor is she working on fixing that issue. She's living at Tae Oh's place so idk why she did not bring the rest of her items, she could have put them where she is sleeping now. It bugs me that no one asked her about it too- I'm mad cuz they make her out to be a strong FL but instead of getting her shit together she'd rather date? Tae Oh's dad has enough money to find her mom, so why is he bugging her about her mom's shop? I just feel like her plot is just a mess!

So far- I'd not start this if your not going to do the 2nd. This for sure is not a stand alone season as there is no "end" for the first season. I did not even know I had started season 2(Netflix). I don't even feel like I can rate it as it feels like the show is just getting started.
-For me it is very very easy to watch and the acting is good. Plot is ok- youth struggling in the world without adults to help them. There are some weird things about them tho....

agree it is very very weird as there is no "end" to the first season unless you count the trip drama.

But this manga is from 2009, so its old school. So its very Shoujo for that time and they are doing this live action very close to how it was written, from what I can remember anyways xD

I think it feels old school cuz its from 2009 manga. As far as I can see its very close to how its written.

Most of the time its not them letting it happen but instead the guy thinking a kiss will change their mind into dating them. I think it has to do with the "try your best with no regrets" mind set.
