Ikr! That E.T scene with the 2nd ML though X'D

You mean the ML's friend's desperate attempts to hit on the ghost xD

And Birdbox?!

It has a few similarities with Circle in terms of the thrill, kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Plus, like Sweet Home, Circle also deals with dystopia/fantasy.

The ending infact was pretty ambiguous but since it was left open to interpretations, I took it as the drama clueing us viewers in on the possibility of the FL looking for the ML's version who was still alive and wanting to be with him just like he did throughout the drama

Or maybe it's not your cup of tea? :) Fans should know to respect the writer and their creations by now. Criticism is justified but ridiculing the drama for its popularity is just pathetic.

Lol I'm pretty sure the person was talking about the romantic pairing didn't need to shock the poor soul like that xD

Get your facts straight man- The lies were started by none other than Han Ji pyeong himself, maybe in the beginning, together with the grandmother to protect Dalmi but somewhere along the way it becomes clear that he was protecting his own heart as well. And Nam Do San comes into the picture because of those web lies created by halmoni and HJP, had he not, Dalmi never would've found out she was being lied too. Do san's arch and presence helped Dalmi gain the much needed confidence along with the positive feeling of being loved. In contrast, the person Dalmi fell for as a child was not just HJP in those letters but a mixture of him, halmoni's imagined scenarios, and a borrowed identity. That is why she chooses NDS when she finds out the truth. TBH, I personally thought the writer did a great job of putting NDS as the love interest cause despite his various shortcomings (which he learns to acknowledge and accepts, giving way to a healthy character development) he's a pretty bright, optimistic person and the fact that Dalmi chooses him over HJP who perfectly fits the ML's stereotype is appreciable. Though, I do admit at this time it seems the writer's feeding off the fandom's conflicted opinion about the love triangle.

So.... nobody gonna talk about the fact this movie is both the Leads' reunion project after the drama Radiant

Ikr, I also didn't like her all that much in the beginning but as I watched more of the drama and got to know her better her actions/reactions seemed reasonable and I could totally see y the ML loved her. I thought she was great. I guess alot of people disliked her for her normalcy in contrast with the ML's strong dramatic dynamic.

He isn't a bad guy but that doesn't mean he's an angel either. He has some flaws, weak spots/terrible past that he hides behind his 'perfect man' demeanour.

Umm I suggest you try out Mr. Sunshine as it focuses more on the troubled period of Josoen's history during the Japanese occupation era. It hits all the right notes for historical action/independence drama fans while also giving us a beautiful lovestory that's sure to get you emotionally involved. Plus, it has a really well written, reliable female lead, the show centres around her, her choices are reasonable, and the character has good development that adds to the plot so you can look forward to that. I decided to recommend u this one cause I noticed we have similar issues with Kim Eun Suk dramas, like I dropped heirs on the first ep, Secret Garden had a pretty solid start and I was loving the realistic, indepth exploration the drama does with class differences, insinuated with a mystical, heartwarming romance but I had to ultimately drop that one too thanx to the unending misery of FL and the stupid, insufferable mother in law. DOTS was soo overhyped, seriously. However, Goblin (with its spot on comedy, bromance and romance, yes I was one those few who absolutely loved the romance parts as well, I found both love lines adorable) and Mr Sunshine remain my favourites to date.

Ikr, that sure left a dent on my heart :'(♡

Clearly aren't watching enough dramas then we've had so many dramas in second half of 2020 alone that are both heartfelt and romantic:) some examples: Do do sol sol, the spies who loved me, start up, psycho but it's okay, 18 again, Do you like Brahms and so on. The thing about kdramas these days is, they don't bring out romance dramas unless there's a good story to tell :)

Ikr, I'm sure it would've done much better if it wasn't sold as a 'romcom' in the first place :/ because the leads make great romantic pairing. What it really is this show, a slice of life family drama that revolves around people part of the entertainment industry and their ups and downs. I agree, the casting choices kinda gives magnified expectations that get undermined when you watch the actual story.

If you're stuck in a loop where you repeatedly witness someone die and seemingly, the only way to get out of it is to save that person so together you could figure out a plan to escape successfully instead of having to experience the same misery over and over, I'm sure you'd also do what the FL did.

Solely depends on your perspective, you might love it, hate it or simply find it mild. Personally, I tried out the first few eps and didn't think it was bad at all. However, the direction this drama takes in its latter half is sort of disappointing/misleading (again, you might have a different opinion because some people actually liked where the story goes). In short, the drama is not terrible but a majority of viewers couldn't relate/come to terms with certain character journeys.

I think it's not entirely Song Ah's fault that she keeps misunderstanding him as Yoon Jung tends to keep all his sufferings to himself so that he doesn't burden her with his emotional baggage but it all just backfires because it makes her feel like an outsider and everytime she goes to confront/talk to him she runs into the second female lead. Though I do agree the show has leaned alot towards the negative effects of the love triangle rather than exploring the leads' relationship some more (which to be honest is sooo swoony and sweet), I hope we get to more of their romance in the last two eps :3

You're welcome :). If you're into the sci-fi genre you might wanna check out these gems: 1)SF8 (A series of short films, most of them set in the future), Circle 2017 (severely underrated), Exit, and the more popular ones include Train and 365:Repeat the Year. Plus there's this drama, Hit the Top that's a pleasant romcom but it also has bit of a side mystery dealing with time travel. Hope you like these recommendations and some drama fans can be really aggressive when it comes to criticism or diverse taste so I hope u don't take what they say to heart.
Stay safe♡
