I got to say that at first I was upset with the drama in episodes 23 and 24. But after retrospective, understanding came -- Yi Fan stayed in character. In her life there were two truths. The first is that for years she was alone and came to believe that she had face her life alone. The second is that she loves San Yang and wants to protect him from her issues. The same holds true with her friends. In her wounded heart and mind the best way to protect what she loves is to remove herself from them. Yes, I wish she had moved beyond that response. Yet it takes time to turn your coping with life into a new direction.
That mother is the most despicable, weak, character I have come across in either a kdrama or cdrama. She is obviously guilt ridden yet not willing to do anything about it. What a terrible parent!!
The little romantic details in this are driving me crazy. The new coat, which isn't black. My goodness, them walking in the hall not quite holding hands but just tentatively touching their fingers. My heart melted with the couples bracelets, his with the snowflake, hers with the mulberry leaf. If that isn't enough then we have his gift -- the voice recorder where when she is down or anxious or depressed she can turn it on, if he isn't there and listen to how much he loves her and will never leave. These two are creating their own little world, filled with meaning, where I almost feel guilty that I have the chance, as an outsider, to look in on.
Episode 18: For me the best confession scene I have seen in recent memory! So in sink with their personalities and characters. After that scene, it is my opinion that even though Hidden Love was a wonderful drama, First Frost is even better! It deserves to be above a 9 on this platform.
Episode one delivered the best romcom line I have heard in a long time: "Mom, my heart is beating out of my chest." Mom replies, "Why? Your chest is flat." I am still laughing.
OK, once again, I like the story. Heck, I like the characters. But after 4 episodes the MC have not uttered one word to each other. With that in mind, I will watch, with anticipation, the next two episodes, but if they don't meet after 6 episodes, I am going to drop this until all episodes are out and then watch.
I like this drama, Many of the scenes are deeply moving. However, and it is a big however, the main couple really have to start communicating together. Maybe we can begin with a text, an e-mail, a chance meeting -- something. To be concise, they need to meet.
Just finished episode 8 and what do I say? Talk about a heart warming, romantic drama!! And as for chemistry. Well that comes to us in different ways. Sometimes it is about first love at school. Then there is always the chemistry of enemies to lovers, and I could go on. But, hands down, Han Ji MIn produces more chemistry than anyone else, in at least the D's I have seen, in a mature thirties something romcom. What is it about her that captures the heart of outstanding, good looking men with adorable children?
And by the way, I love the story of secondary couple. This drama is going to be hard to top this year!
I am one who really enjoyed this. As a romcom, and a romcom only, it is one of the best. For me, it was best when the storyline of the teen version was a major part of the drama. Once that storyline was complete it lost a little of it's luster. It is not because the ML and FL were bad by any measure, it was simply because the teens, Hong Min Ki and Oh Yeju had a chemistry that was on fire! In fact a major result of this drama is that their careers are going to really take off because of what they did here.
It has already started with Oh Yeju, with her work in Gangnam B Side, Love Your Enemy, and as the lead in the MBC drama special To My Lonely Sister, she has had quite the Nov/Dec. Folks in X are posting that she won the award for best actress in a special drama at the KBS drama awards.
Don't know if it is confirmed but Oh Yeju but on X they are saying Oh Yeju won the award for best actress in a special drama at the KBS Drama Awards. Nam Dareum won the best actor award in the same category. Congrats to Oh Yeju for one heck of a Nomember/December.
This was a great romcom! Just the right blend of comedy and angst with a wonderful ending -- all the i's were dotted and all the t's were crossed. The young version of the leads had almost unending chemistry. And I think the OST was the best this year from Lee Mujin to Big Naughty to John Lennon. Don't listen to any negativity from some of these posters. If you like romantic comedy this one is for you!!
Okay be sincere with the answer please. I saw clips of this drama on YouTube but with a young couple. Are they…
Yes the young teen version of the drama are secondary but they appear through out in almost every episode. Their story is very important to the story as a whole.
I was expecting a "Enimes to Lovers" relationship, like, a real Enimes to Lovers, but then I found out they were…
This comment is priceless -- because it is so off the mark. You can only laugh at stuff like this. Friends to lovers? Oh well, I guess you could argue this is a hate to lovers kind of thing. But friends to lovers? I guess you think that she considered him her friend in the first episode. But then again, I don't think you watched it.
Just finished episode 9 and this drama keeps getting better. First of all, let's drop this nonsense about the female lead looking two old, not dressing well, etc. etc. Before episode 8 she didn't care about how she dressed, the last thing she thought about was her looks, romance was over for her. She had been so depressed that she even was ready to end her life. But SJW brought her back to life!! Notice how good she looks now. Notice the brightness in her smile and step. Notice how pretty she is now! Jung Ju Mi gave all you naysayers a class in acting as she changes from a person who is colorless to a person where love enables her to bloom like lilac (had to say with the theme).
Best of all the drama took a dramatic turn with the emergence of her old CEO and the attitude of SJW's Mom. Buckle up for tomorrow.
If you follow TvN Drama instagram, you can see TvN promoted them a lot during the first few airing episodes. They…
It is not TvN that I question. For them not to promote this couple would be just plain stupid. It is sights like viki and google, for example that I have a problem with.
I am getting angry for our young teens in this drama by the way media and info websites cover Love Your Enemy. Go to google and click on cast and you won't see Hong Min ki or Oh Yeju there. And google is not the only one. Probably the worst is viki where they not listed as cast. That kind of stuff is just plain wrong. Let me be clear. I have posted here that I really like both the teens and the adult version of our main couple. I have tried to defend the mature couple and the way their chemistry warms up from episode 6 makes me happy that I stood up for them. But let me frank, those young actors, with their talent, their visuals, their out of this world chemistry carried this drama for the first 4 episodes. AND THEY DESERVE RECONGNITION FOR THAT! I hope the director will do an interview or something to give them credit. It would be nice if the FL and ML speak a word praising them in this drama. Why? Because they deserve it.
That mother is the most despicable, weak, character I have come across in either a kdrama or cdrama. She is obviously guilt ridden yet not willing to do anything about it. What a terrible parent!!
