Did this drama turn into fantasy? What's with the sorcery, shamans and white hair? 😅 I thought this was just a historical mystery drama, nothing supernatural.... Or is there poison in the incense which drives people crazy and turn their hair white...

Can anyone tell me if ML is gonna get better? Or will he stay being this arrogant and rude? I'm on ep 12 and if ML isn't going to change or at least try hard to get her back then I don't see any hope for this drama.

Can anyone please explain to me how they are able to root for the main leads to get together again? What nice thing did he actually do for her in the past or the present? And I mean as a couple not as doctors. I can just recall one nice gesture back then when they just got married and he treated her heels and in the present when he made coffee for her lol And this bare minimum is just about it. Can someone explain to me why you would go back to someone like Ning Zhi Qian? Take away his handsome face, would you still root for him? I'm genuinely curious!!!

He doesn't even seem to love or desire her. It seems he just misses how comfortable and convenient it was with her. And wishes for his son to have a family or rather a mother. She is kindhearted and loving, so makes it the perfect fit as a mother. I don't see him loving her for who she is.

And FL is also annoying the heck out of me how she still bends for him all the time. Not sure if this is really love or kind of stockholm syndrome >_<

9 episodes in and I just can't watch any further. The ML is trash! Absolutely horrible! Their horrible toxic marriage in parallel to the present makes this even harder to watch. I'm really baffled at how many people especially WOMEN justify his behavior. Even put fault on her! The only mistake she made was marrying him knowing that he didn't love her back then. But she was young and naive and thought that she could make him fall for her. How are people saying she was clingy? I'm gonna riot. How exactly was she clingy? By making him food everyday and her friendliness freaked him out? wtf... The least he could've done was talk to her. How was she clingy, when she let him be in the US for more than a year and he never visited or actually cared for her. Hell! didn't even tell her that he was going to the US...

He married her saying he would be good to her! But wtf?! He was and still is a selfish and narcissistic coward unable to communicate his feelings..

She was a kind hearted girl and didn't deserve jacka** like him. So I find the present even harder to watch... how he's so shameless trying to get her back as if he deserves her.... have the huge urge to puke when I see him flirting with her. And even uses his son to manipulate to get near her. HORRIBLE! How can I ship this in the future when I'm so disgusted by the ML?

If they really make the FL fall for him again by him doing the absolute bare minimum... then I just want to slap some writers. I'm so angry!!!! Is he gonna redeem himself?
I need to know. If not, I might have to give up, even tho the cast is awesome and I actually did like the storyline... but if she's gonna take him back just like that. I will hate her too.

Me too. I think that's where this drama actually lost me. But I'm still hanging around because there's nothing better to watch anyway 😂 The airing Kdramas right now are all so mediocre...

omg yeah! That was my first thought while watching that scene. Her mom had a more realistic reaction than Ha Ra....

Eun Beom should sincerely consider getting a therapy for his childhood trauma. I can understand him not wanting to have children. But this line: "I don't want to have a baby. It's too scary that a family you can't cut ties will be created" would have totally destroyed me if I were Ha Ra. I would always be scared and anxious that he's ready to leave if things get hard. Just like he did in the past.

It's not just the communication between them, but also Eun Beom's mental health issues which need to be addressed further and treated professionally. No way only proper communication will solve that.

And is Eun Beom really breaking up with her because of that phone call with her mom? There wasn't actually enough convo, for him to conclude that it was about him. And even if it was, maybe Ha Ra also just wanted to calm her mother EXACTLY like he did on the phone call he had shortly before her...

Just two episodes left. I really don't know how they want to end this drama.

That might be true, but I still think they don't fit as a couple. They are too different or rather they want to live too different. Neither should have to give up the life they actually want.

Main couple should just let it be and break up!! Hopefully they are strangers by the end of this drama. Would be the only reasonable ending imo. Ha Ra with a husband and a baby. And Eun Beom with someone who shares his values as well.

The conversations and quarrels they have now are not really something I expected from a couple who were together for more than 10 years. Feels like they didn't communicate each other at all what they wanted from life. They have absolutely different values and goals. I don't see a future for them. I actually find both of them not quite likable. But as someone who has similar values to Ha Ra, I can understand her a bit more. But... she should just accept that he doesn't want what she wants and MOVE THE F*** ON!

And I just can't feel that Eun Beom loves Ha Ra. I don't know why he chose to get back together. Despite Jang Seun Jo's lovely melo eyes, there is nothing romantic about Eun Beom lol He seems to be a really pessimistic person in regard to love. Maybe he doesn't actually believe in love. It seems he thinks every relationship is doomed, even the more with a child.

....But I'm still so sad about not liking Jang Seung Jo's first lead role in a romance drama. I want him to have a better role next time, pleasssseee!! His acting is so good and eyes are so melo dreamy *-* I want him in a another romantic drama T-T

It's an old one, but Warrior Baek Dong Soo.

I guess I'll just watch it for the cases and acting now. I really don't like how they wrote both main leads and their relationship development is really unnatural. A shame because I really love the cast and was so excited for Jang Seung Jo in a romance role 😢

I just can't understand how Ha Ra is trying to get back with him after all the things he did to get a divorce. Doesn't she have any dignity? Why is she the one who's desperately trying to get back with him if it should be the other way around? ....
I could totally understand her, if he actually:
1. Apologized sincerely
2. Told her the whole truth behind the divorce, how he felt while being married
3. Tried to reconcile first

And Eun Beom.... I just don't know with him. I can't seem to feel that he is still in love with Ha Ra.

Agree! They tone down the seriousness of a lot of heavy topics/incidents by trying to make them funny or comedic... and it's not working for me. Not just with annoying music, but also with acting, behaviour etc.

Weirdly despite others saying that ep 7 is the episode by far, I disliked it the most... Don't know why but I feel the emotions or actions of the characters feel so off to me. I just don't like any of the characters, because their behaviour feels too unnatural and superficial to me. I really don't know how to explain eloquently what I mean.

I think I'd like this drama much more if there wouldn't be any comedy at all. The overall plot, side stories and cases are much heavier topics than what they are trying to show here and would fit better in a serious-toned drama...I'm quite disappointed because Kang So Ra and Jang Seung Jo would have definitely nailed a more deep and serious themed drama. Their acting is superb!

How Ha Ra found out about her fathers affair and secret family was so absurd and anti climatic. Just like how she found out that Eun Beom didn't cheat on her and faked his affair to get a divorce. Her almost nonchalant, fast accepting nature just seems like not a real person.

And the preview is totally throwing me off. For me Eun Beom didn't show a glimpse of romantic feelings for Ha Ra in all the episodes so far... And she wants him back? Why on earth would you get back with this guy? I just can't understand her... If he showed romantic feelings or even remotely that he wants to get back together or even tried hard to reconcile... then okay, I could understand. But he just doesn't seem interested in her anymore.

Yes, he does care for her, but I couldn't feel any lingering romantic feelings whatsoever. I'm just really lost with Eun Beom and how he feels. I feel that we don't know anything of his inner feelings...

Can anyone follow where I am coming from? Or maybe I'm alone in this matter 😂

I can relate. I also needed a break before I watched beyond that episode. I watched this drama back when it was airing and his death hit me so hard and unexpected. I couldn't finish it in one go after they killed off the best character. But after the break I watched it again and I still really liked it. Give it a try :)

Reply 1988 and Hospital Playlist are character driven stories, so they don't really have any "real" storyline going on. There is no built up of a story, but rather more insight of the characters and their lives. Maybe it's just not your taste or none of the characters appeal to you. Sometimes you also just need to be in the right kind of mood.

But I can relate. Sometimes it's frustrating if I just can't get to like a drama which everyone seems to love and praises 😅

Yes exactly! This drama has 20 episodes. They have the time for proper introduction. I was also confused why everyone believed that adopted sibling right away or why they even thought that he's her lover...

And I guess I'm spoiled by AOS seasons great fight scenes, that this one just looked hella lame to me 🙈 I hope she improved in the later episodes, if she has more fight scenes...

I'm not saying that I don't like the FL. But there was none to little introduction to her before the murder incident, so I didn't feel any connection to her pain or her family members' deaths. The small snippet as a kid is the only thing we got. She's not that ladylike, but tried hard for the marriage. I'd have loved to see that in a scene. A proper introduction to her character before everything unfolded, so that I can actually get connected and feel her pain.

And her fights were not so far up... maybe I'm too spoiled with other great fighting scenes lately, but it was weak and sometimes looked awkward.

True. Maybe because I watched the other drama not so long ago and it's still fresh in my mind, that's why I was reminded of it in particular. But as you say, not really fresh or unique....

I was not really captivated by the first episode. It was okay... The families' murder unfolded kind of fast and it was really unemotional because we didn't have connection to any of the characters yet. Would have been great to show us at least some happy family scenes or the FL trying hard to become a proper wife like it is stated in the description, so that I can have a bit of emotional connection to their deaths and female leads tragic situation. But I didn't feel a thing. If all of this would've happened after proper character introduction, maybe it would have been better. The small snippet in their childhood didn't really help.

And even tho I really liked Jeon So Nee in "When My Love Blooms", her acting fell kinda flat for me in the first ep. Especially the fighting and running scenes. I like that she is a strong woman with fightings skills, but the fights looked really weak imo. She doesn't look fierce at all and her fighting posture looked awkward. You could totally tell that there is a stunt double when the scenes cut in between the fights. That's why it was kinda ridiculous how she managed to fight off so many palace warriors 😅 And how come she had such a bad stamina while running even tho she's so athletic?

It also kinda reminded me a bit of "The forbidden marriage". It has a bit similar story plots. Royal prince/king, close friendship, fiancee of friend, love triangle, fl tragic past, pretending to be someone else etc... and funnily Kim Woo Seok is playing a role here as well... maybe he was a cameo.
The similarity is not a bad thing tho. Just pointing it out, that it reminded me of the other drama.

Well, was just the first episode. I looking forward to tomorrow :)

Wusste vor deinem Kommentar gar nicht, dass er in Deutschland geboren ist. Habe dann erstmal Videos gesucht, wo er Deutsch spricht 😂 Ist klar, dass er fließend Deutsch spricht, aber ich mag es einfach, koreanische Stars deutsch sprechen zu hören 😂

Ist ja selten einen deutschen Kommentar zu sehen 😂
