This doesn't happen to me with dramas because I am able to drop them at episode 1 if I didn't like it, but it actually happened when I was younger with western shows. I felt an obligation to keep watching even when the plot went down the drain (I am looking at you, Glee) but I think there were a few instances where I got furious about the direction the plot went to, and that ultimately cured my need to force myself to keep watching something I didn't enjoy. Maybe it's also cause I am older and don't have as much time to lose as I used to hahaha

Writing this I realized that I did the same thing with movies-- I forced myself to watch them even when I was hating them, and I had a strict rule for myself to avoid spoilers at all costs. Nowadays I don't mind reading spoilers because I don't want to waste my time anymore.

Dan Ah has the greatest character development. Her character acting how she does makes sense, even if it doesn't excuse how mean she is at first. She's very well written :)

I totally understand that reasoning if that's what happened, I just think it's wrong and didn't work hahaha I think it would've been even better to take advantage of the fact that people were mad about his character not having his happy love ending in SU and should've given him one here. That's just my opinion :D

I'm still thinking about Dan Ah and Young Hwa's goodbye scene where they both cried, and just how amazing it was. I am used to seeing breakup scenes in dramas where one of them intentionally hurts the other person so they will leave them-- saying cruel things, that they never loved them, that it was all in their head, you know the deal.

But this scene was so beautiful-- When Dan Ah cried and they hugged it was such a clear "I love you too, but we really can't be together right now and I am so sorry" and Young Hwa's response being "I know. And I understand you and I understand why."

So refreshing, even though it broke my heart.

10000000% agreed. His cameo even felt out of place and made me go "what's the point of this?" It added nothing to the story. He should've been Ryan and that's the hill I choose to die on

Things definitely get better, and he gets all the happiness and love he deserves. I was so worried as well, he's just the warmest ray of sunshine

They cried because they knew what had to happen and didn't need to say it out loud-- but they both liked each other and if circumstances had been different they would be dating already without a doubt. They were mourning that they couldn't be together even though they really wanted to, in my opinion.

My takeaway is that she needed to be laser-focused in her job for the immediate future, and it would've been unfair to Young Hwa to just start dating him and probably never even see him or pay attention to him. Once she became VP she had more breathing room, and they reconnected. I think the ending hints at them starting again, but this time they are taking things slowly instead of the mess that it was the first time.

That's what I got from it!

I binged 14 eps in 2 days and fell in love with everyone instantly lmao

Very, very happy and adorable

So true! This show has gone under everyone's radar because of the lack of official subs so fingers crossed that it'll get the recognition it deserves with this!

It's probably just not your cup of tea! There's nothing wrong with you!

Ooof, totally. And also the final scene where he gives Seon Gyeom's mom a small bouquet, which contrasts with all those other giant bouquets he gave her that were just for show. I loved it.

Also, I completely share your feelings about Young Hwa! And I feel that way about Tae Woong as well! He deserved so many hugs. And Seon Gyeom, of course. What an angel. And Woo Shik! He was soooooo cute.

I might have a problem

To me, he was just a person who feels his feelings very deeply, and tries to hold himself back from expressing them as openly as he wants to because he feels a little shy about how strongly he feels things. Hence the passion behind his paintings, like the one he made for Dan Ah that screamed "I love you". Because he felt it so passionately but didn't feel like he could/was allowed to say it out loud, he pours it into his art. That's just my interpretation of him, though. I loved him to bits!

I totally get you about the dad. I was actually surprised at how okay I was with him at the end (I mean, I didn't like the man obviously) because he wasn't a cartoonish villain. He was a very realistic rich and selfish man who, too late, realized he royally fucked up. Dan Ah's brother as well (the "older" one), he's just a selfish, rude asshole. Neither of them are evil, they are just people that suck, if that makes sense lol. I liked that a lot

I will definitely be rewatching!

My takeaway is that they are starting again. Dan Ah was at a moment in her life where she couldn't commit to a relationship because she had to focus on her job completely, and she felt it was unfair to him because she wouldn't be able to be there for him-- which is totally understandable to me. I think after she became VP she had a little more breathing room and now they're giving it a go again, slowly but surely :)

I SURE DO like seriously i'm in love with him lmao

I choose to believe that Dan Ah stopped herself because if she hadn't there was no way she would've been able to let him go lmao. However I feel like at the end they're just starting to get close to each other again, so it makes sense they didn't kiss yet :)
