Is the webtoon completely finished? Lol I'm slowly making my way through it and with all the comments I read I thought it'd be much different... but it's not that different. The character relationships are just portrayed differently, but most of the plotline remained the same. Just got to the part where the security guard kills the swordsman.

Honestly wasn't going to watch this since it felt too similar to all the dramas where one lead becomes young again, but decided to give it a chance cause I needed to see Do Hyun onscreen again haha and boy, this drama didn't disappoint. Loved that they gave good screentime to all the cast and the growth of each character was great to watch. The leads were leads but the side characters had their moments. All the couples were soooooo cute, my single self couldn't handle it haha overall, a fun binge watch for sure!

Okay, I'm gonna be real here. It's not in any way AMAZING, but I kinda sorta love it. I mean, I have to wait a week in between for not 2, but only 1 episode and yet, here I am, still fully engaged in watching the next episode. Normally, I would just drop a show if it meant this much waiting and if it wasn't entertaining enough. While Please Don't Date Him doesn't showcase anything new or out of the box, it's interestingly entertaining to me. The 3 couples all have very different dynamics and the show itself brings up very 'taboo' topics that are rarely seen in kdramas - molka, domestic abuse, trying for a baby (not sure if it was IVF that the couple was trying). The only thing that threw me off is that her husband is a spy. Is that really how they're going to get them to break up so that she could end up with the other firefighter? Cause.....lolol. laughable situation. There's a few quirks about the show that i question but at the same time don't care enough to really worry about it since it's only a 10 episode show. Another big plus to me is that all 3 chemicals have good chemistry together and are all cute in their own way. With 3 episodes left, I'm looking forward to seeing them wrap up all the loose ends.

Omg, so I'm rewatching it again cause well, why not. And I just noticed that in that last scene when he has the clipboard and his family photo, he already had his name written down under the 'turning' column he used to keep track of everyone. And there was also a time when he was recording someone's temperature going down to 9°, I had thought it was for Han Du Shik, but at this point I think he was recording his own temperature since there wasn't actually anyone with him lol Ahhhhh, the subtlety. Hope that really means that this time he will turn instead of die, cause I really want to see him back. I still haven't finished reading the webtoon, so back I go haha Happy Holidays!

Ohhh, I didnt even think of the possibility of him having had those nosebleeds offscreen. They really could've done something like that and now that gives me soooo much more hope that he turned instead of just died, cause I need him back. Haha

Haha I didn't even know it was an imagine dragons song and loved it. But I guess they definitely could've come up with their own OST, wonder why they didn't.

I dont think they killed off all the best characters and I like how they did kill off some favorites early on since it would be even more devastating of a loss if there's a season 2 and they die then :,( but I definitely think Eun Hyuk survived. It felt like they gave him the excessive blood scene to maybe imply that he got the nosebleed and could potentially be back. At least that's what I hope for, cause if not, that's a lousy end to an otherwise amazing character.

Nah, they were pretty fair in my opinion. You can't only kill the bad ones, so they killed everyone equally haha, I think we only think they killed the loveable ones because those were the memorable deaths, but I was pretty devastated and cried for a few of them, especially the swordsman. They really knew how to tug at the heart strings. TT~TT

I'm sure some things were left ambiguous so that it could be answered in season 2, if they chose to make another season. For me, the green mansion group got out and we don't really know what awaits them. I'm assuming Lee Si Young's firefighter character was sent on another mission and she will do it because she wants news about her fiance. Then, instead of dying or getting caught by the military, I'm assuming Hyunsu was taken in by Mr. Gangster that I'm sure is no longer himself but is actually the monster that can take over other people's bodies. Since we saw it slithering around and into the armored truck, I'm sure it took over his body since Hyun Su destroyed its previous one. Then there's Eun Hyuk who we see bleeding excessively which makes me assume that he got the crazy bloody nosebleed but the entire scene was shot very secretively as to whether or not he turned since they didn't even show his face as he bled. He could've been bleeding from an injury from the collapsing building for all we know, but I bet that he did get the nosebleed though, cause I am LOVING Lee Do Hyun in this and if there's a season 2, he needs to be back as another special infectee, please. My only question was that I thought Mr. Han turned, so how did he die so easily? Or was it because it was Hyun Su and he has special capabilities to kill the monsters. Whelp, I'm off to read the webtoon now haha hope my final thoughts helped you out in anyway

I'm so glad the rating went up cause this shit was AMAZINGGGGG. omg, I really need that season 2 announcement cause they can't just leave us hanging like that - so many questions left to be answered. And that soundtrack that plays is so hype, love it. Great job to the ENTIRE cast, I already love all the leads, but the entire supporting cast was freakin fantastic from those who only appeared for one episode to those who stayed from the very beginning!! I found my 2020 drama of the year with a few close runner ups haha, sorry not sorry to all the others dramas that aired, but this drama knocked it out of the park. I'm the type to fast forward shows when they get slow and I really didn't need to for this one Really hoping we get that season 2 announcement or else I'd be so devastated.

Ahh, got it. Thank you!

?? Can you explain further? What did they change?

OMG. I'm on episode 2 and am LOVING it. Why the 7.9 people?! Guess I'll find out when I finish it lol

Already a positive in my book since there's no △. Lol which means I can enjoy the couple development without being annoyed haha already loving the interaction and conversations between the leads. I love it because it's refreshing. Not all conversations in real life are smooth, so awkwardness and stares make it feel more...wholesome? They sound both awkward yet forward, love it. Reminds me of Do You Like Brahms? But with more sass and a brighter tone. Praying that the story doesn't start going downhill midway like some other 2020 dramas.

LMAOOO glad to know that I'm not the only one that felt the 2020 kdrama burn. Lol dramas started well and then suddenly the writers went haywire. Lol

Not sure if I'm the only one, but this is one of the few dramas where I really wanted a happy ending for the more "evil" characters. The Crown Princess and Mu Yeon's love story was just tragic and had me hoping they could make it out alive with each other in the end, but of course, they did not. I would say both characters were written and portrayed by the actor/actresses very well with the limited screentime they had. But I guess at least the child lived on!

Just stopping by to say that 5 years later, I'm debating on rewatching it since I remember it as being an incredibly well executed and casted drama that I feel like no other saeguk that came after was as engaging and thrilling to watch.

Just did, my bad. Didn't really think of it as a spoiler, haha but the last line was.

Lol why do I feel like they cut it out probably because HJP probably struck a deal with Alex and they didn't want him to shine anymore. I was thinking maybe he bought the app's rights from them (2STO) since they were probably gonna trash the app anyways. But yeah, it would've been nice to see what went down in there since the app is still operational after 3 years.

This is a drama where if you binge it and don't take the time in between to analyze and actually understand the characters, it's a pretty fun and entertaining watch. Not gonna lie. However, there's a huge difference between binging a show and watching it week by week. I've dropped quite a few shows that I had to wait week after week because characters, story, or acting just wasn't compelling enough. And though I may get hate for this, but had KSH aka HJP not been in this show, I would've dropped it probably half way through. But everyone has their own opinions and thoughts, so instead of getting dissuaded by low reviews or unintelligible comments, just watch the first few episodes to see if its for you. Cheers and happy holidays everyone!
