When I said "Time travel part and getting second chance" is not new, I did not mean to specifically imply in the sense that it has no novelty.
What I mean was, if it was done for the first time in a K-drama to serve the western audience (regardless whether we have already seen it let says in Hollywood), then the original comment would have made some sense.
I used the word "focus" because as I watched 4 episodes, apart from the premise of the drama of going back in time, all I could see was a sick FL, abusive and cheating husband, evil mother in-law, rich ML, abusive boss, mean friend pretending to be bff, school reunion, fl trying to portray her success by getting a makeover and wearing branded earnings, people going wow by seeing the FL makeover, people judging others by how expensive bags or clothes they wear, ML catching FL out of nowhere when she is about to fall, people talking about looks and how good FL look when she comes to the office with a makeover (which basically was a new hair cut and a decent outfit) and so on.
All I saw was this, which was very shallow. Although I do like the FL to change her fate and break free from the toxic bf, the way the show is "driving" toward her revenge (or changing her destiny) it just to shallow for my taste.
it's funny to me, like some people complain about smallest things in thriller, but are very forgiving, when it…
You can't generalize the fact that the people complaining are the same people who are very forgiving to romcom. Usually, they are completely different set of peoples but boy we do love to generalize things.

What I am saying is, apart from the time travel and getting a second chance everything is exactly that you would expect from a typical K-drama related to love, work and lookism that normally does well.
So I was just saying to the Original commentor that his comment on "this is a k-drama trying to appeal to the western countries and how its doing well in terms of rating" does not make much sense.
And the time travel part and getting a second chance is not even something that is new.
Can i watch this without watching the previous seasons? can someone explain to me briefly what is it about.. (…
You can watch any season but I strongly suggest to watch in order. Season 1 is good but Season 2 is even better but let say if you watch season 2 first then you would think season 1 not that good even if it is because you would be comparing it with Season 2.
I find exchange more like a kdrama than a reality dating show tbh.
Considering its a k-drama trying to appeal to western countries it's amazing it's almost hitting 10% nationwide…
The usual rich ML, struggling FL, ML trying to save FL, including focus on beauty and how a makeover changes peoples perception on you as a person, obsession with expensive clothes, bags and earrings stuff and how based on owning such materials people treat each other.
1.The back body of the guy having sex is bigger while Kim Hyung Seop (ML's friend) is tiny. So it cannot be him. 2. The girl in the bed is wearing a watch on her left wrist in one scene and another scene we see the watch on the table. The Fl was not wearing a watch at all. 3. The phone cover is pink but if you look at the back of the phone carefully in previous scenes, you see that FL has some flower like pattern on the bottom of her phone case but the one that was shown in the end scene did not.
The guy in the bed scene is the ML's other best friend with someone else. Most likely the girl she bumped with and called noona.
But FL can sleep with anyone as she is anyways single. Also, Kim Hyung Seop should show some respect to the bro code. You never hit on your friends gf or ex.
Question to ask Please Explain this Please???? My Mind gonna blust...Someone doing sex in episode 4 Who is she/he…
LOL do you really think thats ML's best friend (Kim Hyung Seop )?
1. Just look at the back of the guy having sex its huge. Kim Hyung Seop is tiny compared to that guy. 2. The girl in the bed is wearing a watch on her left wrist in one scene and another scene we see the watch on the table. The Fl was not wearing a watch at all. 3. The phone cover is pink but if you look at the back of the phone carefully in previous scenes, you see that FL has some flower like pattern on the bottom of her phone case but the one that was shown in the end scene did not.
The guy in the bed scene is the ML's other best friend with someone else. Most likely the girl she bumped with and called noona.
Fl was talking to someone who she know want to sleep with her . She didn't block him even her one friend said…
I can provide counterarguments to these points 😅, but before that, I just wanted to know if you have been in a 6-7 year relationship that started in college?
To maintain a long, happy relationship, one needs to be able to manage time so that, apart from work and friends, he or she must also allocate time for their partner. If you can't say no to your friends when you already had plans with your girlfriend, if you can't say a simple hello while you are working when she comes to visit you, if you can't even keep a simple promise of saving the wine meant for the two of you, then it shows where your priorities lie. If this happens just a few times, then it's understandable, but when this has been happening for the last 3 years, it means that one of your partners is taking you for granted.
If you are indeed in a long-term relationship and the same behavior shown by ML is working for you, then it means that not only do you have your partner set at a very low priority, but your partner also has you at a very low priority, so she also doesn't care about you as much as she cares about work, friends, and family. You might be mistaking the lack of caring from your partner as being mature. But if it works for you, then it's not actually a problem. The problem happens when one of the partners places their partner at a much higher priority than the other.
Is there anyone who can explain???- they met in front of theater, but she didn't have even a minute to say hello?…
She didn't say hello because she was called urgently by the director and not that she can say hello and he can hear it. And wouldn't they fell awkward and taken aback considering they met each other after 1 year?
About the dialogue in the play, it means the following:
The analogy of two people without arms is used to illustrate a situation where both individuals face a similar challenge in the relationship.
The phrase "they will start hating each other soon" implies that, in general, people might find it challenging to cope with difficulties, and it could potentially lead to frustration and resentment.
However, the key point in the dialogue is the contrast with the second part: "why don't we love each other until then." Here, the FL is proposing an alternative perspective, suggesting that instead of succumbing to negativity, the couple can choose to love and support each other through their shared challenges.
The FL is expressing a realization that her initial discomfort with dating a deaf guy was a mistake but she is acknowledging the importance of accepting and embracing differences in a relationship, and realizing that love can prevail over any challenges they may face.
Fl was talking to someone who she know want to sleep with her . She didn't block him even her one friend said…
1. She got mad and left when he said he didn't took the job and that's understandable. Look from her point of view. They have been dating for years and years and she wants to marry this guy and settle but without a secure stable job it's not possible. She was really looking forward about the merger but then he said he's not doing it without explanation. So, of course she will walk out of the house.
2. She was talking to this guy and I know it's wrong and also what makes it more wrong was that she knew the guy's intention but she still didn't block him straight away (although she didn't reply him often or immediately upon receiving the message). But, you have to also think about it in another way. If the ML had given her the time and attention she wouldn't have looked for some attention elsewhere. She wanted to spend time with her bf but the only time he spent with her in the later stage of their relationship is while working together and when the bf wants to have sex.
Just to compare the bf was having drinks with the girl that his friends invited. Isn't that also some sense cheating ? cause he should have left the restaurant without taking any part in drinking. He knew the intention of the girls but he still chose to stay there.
3. Why would the FL have to say sorry to him, if the bf is shown to be the one who breaks promises, always on his laptop and doesn't even realizes that his girlfriend has arrived and right next to him, uses the expensive wine saved for the two of them with his friends and ditches her for his friends and football. These are some scenes shown in the drama but such occurrences have been happening for multiple years which lead to the FL frustration.
4. The elevator scene was wrong and I agree. What made it more sad was she continued to walk with this guy (although it's somewhat understandable that she froze). Also, allowing that guy's hand on her shoulder was insane. Then she didn't even bother to give an explanation even if that was a misunderstanding. Going from the bar to the bedroom (even if lets consider that nothing happened) is crazy.
You seem to believe that misunderstanding is the sole reason, but it's just one of the factors. The challenges…
I get why you would assume she is selfish, but I just feel it may be a bit strong to label the girl as selfish. I think it is more of a moral dilemma as she is conflicted because of shortsightedness.
The ML took his girlfriend for granted which he should not have. They have been in 7 years relationship, and literally grew up together through most of their adult life so it makes sense that the ML got too comfortable in the relationship (like deep inside he knew she would always be with him no matter what happens). His focus was more on his business and spending the little free time he have with his friends instead of his gf. He should have realized that he was neglecting his girlfriend (although he did loved her but it did not actually show).
On the FL side, every feeling and neglect she felt from ML is valid. It is seen that she has been consistently contributing to the relationship and ML has always been her no.1 priority from the start and even in the present. She was the better person in the relationship and was the one who was keeping the relationship afloat.
But regardless of that, if she did reach her limits, its better to confront her partner(not ghost) and then just leave the person no matter how hard it is if it doesn't work. Then, she can move on to another person and can hook up or do whatever she wants. But no matter who's fault it is or who is to blame for the downfall of the relationship, it is not acceptable to cheat (which we are not sure a the moment) while they are still in a relationship. No matter how wrong the ML was, if the FL did cheat then there is no recovery from it. She cannot get a free pass.
You seem to believe that misunderstanding is the sole reason, but it's just one of the factors. The challenges…
Yes thats the point. She was in a not so good situation (eg: in terms of her career) and wanted someone to be her support and thats when she met him. She was able to disregard the compromise the relationship would entail at that moment because he was there for her when she was going through hard times.
But now she is in a relatively good place, the misunderstanding actually opened her eyes to those things she initially ignored. So, she is now finally realizing whether she have what it takes to actually fully go through with the relationship without feeling the sense of compromise.
You can't really blame her because humans are like that. They don't think about all the variables when making decision especially when the decision is something you've never taken before. It takes time to settle and to start considering other factors about the decision that they have taken.
If you are in not so good place and someone comes into your your life, I don't think you would start to calculate and consider all the things before being in the relation right? It takes time and situation for you to come into those realization. People only think about problems once they are in a situation where they have to face it, not before.
Just a relatable example but in a different domain. Eg: The government only works on creating laws once they see something as an issue. No lawmaker starts to look at all the possible issues before it actually happens and start to act on it. Something needs to trigger the lawmaker before they realize that the law should be in place.

Seems like a usual K-drama to me.

You are taking the "Not Until" literally. Accepting and embracing the differences, they can love again and overcome the obstacles and hate.

If you can't say no to your friends when you already had plans with your girlfriend, if you can't say a simple hello while you are working when she comes to visit you, if you can't even keep a simple promise of saving the wine meant for the two of you, then it shows where your priorities lie.
