Finally found time to watch this. It's lovely! One of its small gifts for me; Gu Wei Yi's internet searches of whatever pops into his head at any time - How does the "patient scanner" work? Who created the printer? How do I fix my mobile phone screen? - evidently I am not the only one *phew*!
I love that this drama finally, FINALLY played out, how I think public marriage proposals and grand gestures should go. To put a person you supposedly love, in an untenable position like a public proposal or 'grand gesture', where they can't say no, is disgusting to me. They are a horrible example of co-ercive control, that has been normalised by "Hollywood" and K-dramas - we've come to expect them as the dramatic high point, the denoument of the 'romance' genre. I could write an essay...but the writer has set it up in such a way that we all know she's being 'set-up'. So we can all have the correct response (I hope) of cheering YU CHUs bravery in saying no.
I personally found I enjoyed the show more if I completely ignored the romance bw ML/FL. The secondary couple had more chemistry/comedy/conviction. I agree with Kunaga Kushi, it works better to view this as a comedy. It has some gret LOL moments and is gold for pure silliness.
I found him to be super cute in "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" - a shining light in a drama I found otherwise pretty lacklustre. But my favourite is his support role in "Stranger/Forest of Secrets". Wow!
Yep, ep 10 was harrowing. In keeping with the pace of some of the earlier ep's, big things happen much faster than you expect, whilst the ML/FL story, continues on at an excruciating pace.
I am personally, absolutely loving this drama. I can comfortably say it's my favourite of 2022 so far (watching C, TW and K-dramas) It has fully fleshed out characters, in realistic situations. And it makes me FEEL things...frustration, sadness, compassion, self-righteousness 😆. I think the writing is exceptional. And despite the ending of this ep., I definitely think you can see the growth of the characters. I am looking forward to the last 2 ep's to see how it all gets rounded out.
And a K-drama mother who sees her adult children as separate from herself and able to make their own life choices!…
I think I'm getting more from this drama than you, but I may very likely be filling in the gaps with my own 'stuff'. I totally respect your point of view!

My favourite hoodlum (and by hoodlum I mean hoodie wearer) continues to be So Ji Sub in "Oh My Venus" *sigh*
But my favourite is his support role in "Stranger/Forest of Secrets". Wow!
