I hope Hong Sisters can end a drama on a happy note again. Their last few dramas all had a sad ending... but there were dramas with happy endings in the past, so maybe it's time for a change again 😅
But it makes me sad to know that Naksu's body was burnt, so there is no way she's gonna return to that body... but it's fantasy right? So everything is possible.... I just want a happy ending for a change... 😥

She looks like a Grim Reaper in Mary Poppins Style 😄

I see a lot of comments asking if they have to watch Love Playlist season 1-4 to watch this. No you don't, but I'd rather recommend watching those 4 seasons instead of this drama 😂 It's more natural, lighthearted and real. Even the acting is better. I highly recommend season 4 with Park Haneul's and Seo Jimin's story. It was so lovely to watch their beginning 😊

It's actually weird, because he did so in the original version of playlist 😅 He was blunt and showed zero interest in making new friends or female friends. Quite introverted as well. Even with Jimin at first. Not sure why they wrote him so frustrating in this adaption, because he seemed like another character.

A quote from his original character: "I may be quiet, but I do say what's on my mind."

So gonna rant a bit...

First of all... This is nothing like LOVE PLAYLIST. They just used the popularity of that webdrama to promote this, but there is nothing remotely similar to the webdrama. The vibe and authentic natural style is completely vanished. I knew it would be different but how is there like no similarity at all? And they ruined my beautiful pairing with their sh*tty writing. I still remember how heartfluttering Ha Neul's and Jimin's scenes were. They were so natural and sweet. And I don't feel any of that with them in this drama. I knew it wouldn't be the same with actress change, but they just feel so fake to me.
Well... I can't not compare since they just are original characters.

But even if I watched this drama while not comparing... it's really boring til now.
I've watched all of the 6 aired episodes and I'm not impressed. There is absolutely nothing original in this. The characters are walking clichés. The plot is Kdrama 101 for beginners. I think if I would write down all of the clichés or kdrama tropes I could fill a book....Not sure why the screenwriter would do that even tho she was great writing Love Playlist. But I'm sure this kind of story just fits webdrama style more.

I thought it would get better but it's just kdrama trope after another. Nothing new or original. Clichés aren't always bad, but if there is absolutely nothing original, how could it be exciting to watch? I do like kdrama tropes if they are well made and are well integrated in the story.
I won't bother watching the rest of the drama, because it seems like I already watched everything.

But I am quite disappointed. I was excited for this drama and all of the cast looked promising too. Well, gonna rewatch Love Playlist Season 4 now to see my fave couple :) 😂

They had so much chemistry in the original version... They were the sole reason I actually started to watch the webdrama, because I saw clips of them on yt and they made my heart flutter so much.... Them in Dear M. is nothing like the webtoon... They should have just made a new couple in Dear M. Not sure if it's because of the change of the female actress or the writing just didn't do them justice...

Yes totally!

I also enjoyed the scenes of their childhood. It was cute and the child actors were really good as well :)

I really respect writers who can write a decent ending... because lately there were just a handful of good endings even tho the dramas started out pretty good... they always get boring or have a huge downfall by the end 😅

I enjoyed this drama. But I have to say that I liked the first half much more than the latter and the ending was quite sh*tty and kinda ruined it for me lol ... episode 11 was all serious with thriller and then they turned episode 12 into a slap stick comedy... that drastic change was kind of weird... And am I the only one who felt that they didn't behave like their characters in episode 12? They were so annoying and behaved like teens... I think the writers wanted to shows us that there are always ups and downs in relationships... but the writing sucked as hell... were they on drugs?

Well, overall I enjoyed it, but it's sad how there are almost no dramas in 2022 where the writing stays on the same Niveau like in the beginning...

I will put this drama on hold for now... I was really into it in the beginning. It was exciting and Soo Jae's character was amazing as was Hyun Jin's acting.... but for the last few episodes I just lost interest. Something is bothering me and I don't really like any of the other characters except Soo Jae. The writing became kind of unbearable... they don't let the viewers breath and so much is happening and not happening at the same time. Hard to explain, but I'm not liking the direction this drama took...

And the romance part seems to be bothering quite a few people. I actually was excited for the romance in this drama as I loved Hwang In Yeop in other dramas, so I was happy that he was the ML here and Seo Hyun Jin is the queen of romcoms, so I was excited for what kind of chemistry they would have... but sadly I feel no chemistry at all and their relationship feels really unnatural to me.

Gong Chan's character feels kind of bland to me and doesn't have much of a purpose expect for being a comfort to Soo Jae. Even tho he's not that young in the drama and started university late... he just feels too childlike to be Soo Jae's counterpart. It actually made me kind of uncomfortable how he pushed his feelings onto her several times and meddle in her business...

And the SML... I have no words. I like Bae In Hyuk, so was looking forward to watch him as well... but they turned him into an extremely annoying obsessed jealous SML. Why did they feel the need to do that? So unnecessary. Would have been better to form a bromance bond between him and Gong Chan. I'm baffled he feels entitled to meddle with Soo Jae' love life. He's not much better than his father of brother.

Maybe I will start watching again after it finished airing 😄

She is bad at lying but a master of manipulating 😆

That's actually not surprising. I think in rural time people were killed for even less by the royal...

Today's episode was so good again! It's getting better and better 😊
I feel really bad for Jang Wook and I'm actually surprised he didn't turn evil yet and joined the dark side, because the mages of Songrim are so harsh to him for a reason he doesn't know of. He's treated so unfairly and doesn't even know why.... they also turned his kind mother into a bad cheating person.
If I were Jang Wook I would have found a teacher of the dark and evil side... they would have opened his gate of energy and taught him, but he didn't even consider this.

Under the pretense of protecting him, Park Jin is actually hurting him deeply and provoking him even more...

Same :D I'm enjoying the comedy as well because I know it will get serious in the future. And really anticipating the bond the leads will develop further, because they only have each other to depend on right now :)

Right back at ya 😘

I doubt so dear. Get some help and attention from your family and friends, so that u don't feel the need to get it from here 🤗

Episode 3 was again a joy to watch :D Of all the current dramas this is the best for me right now! I'm so excited for every new ep! The acting is superb, I love the story and the characters. I'm actually not that much into fantasy, but totally enjoying the fantasy elements here 😊 I recommend this highly for anyone looking for a new drama... even tho I wish I started a bit later, so that I don't have to wait every week... but that is actually a painful anticipation that I enjoy as well 😂

get a life man... I feel bad for u. I hope for some happiness in your life :)

Just watched the first two episodes and it was so good!!!!!! Now I'm totally regretting starting so soon and having to wait every week. I love the story so far and the leads are sizzling with chemistry. Kinda realizing how much I missed Lee Jae Wook's acting. He really has an incredible charming way of acting. A depth of micro expressions and the tone of his voice are so addicting to watch. Also missed Jung So Min in a good drama. I love her in this role! Her last drama was not my cup of tea, so I'm excited to watch her in this one :D

And as many here in the comments already stated the ratings are ridiculous and not justified one bit... I think some haters really need to get a life. I usually don't rate dramas if I didn't watch at least 10 episodes, but I have to give this a high rating now because I'm baffled by the rating and want this drama to show up the the top airing dramas... Because for me it's the drama I like the most right now.

I didn't have any expectations starting this drama... the synopsis didn't really sound that appealing, but it while watching it started out pretty good and the latest two episodes were really entertaining :D So far I'm hooked
