Yes, overall, it's very cozy! The ending was a bit of a let down for me, but still a solid, super fun watch. :)

I'm almost done with Episode 1, but the lady on the phone's affectation of a lisp kind of drives me nuts (I'm assuming it's put on, and not a real lisp; if it is real, then I don't mean to bash on the way she talks! Just making an observation). Sometimes I've noticed the female actresses playing royalty/nobility in historical sageuks do this, too, and I have no idea why, but it makes me shudder (I don't know why! But I can't stand it). Is the lisp seen as a dainty/elegent way of speaking in Korea? 🤔

Ick, okay. Wasn't expecting that!

But hey, maybe the editing and cinematography crew will get good gigs for it later. :)

Wait, Jae Yi ends up with Ri An?! Ew, he's terrible!

Yeah, I did not expect to see American football! Is that a thing in Korea? I imagine not. Football only works if you're big and burly, and also, why would a bunch of high profile high schoolers even play football if there's nothing for it to feed into? Seems like a sport that would take you nowhere if pursued in Korea...

It's like the action movies that forget that they can't keep the audience entertained merely by blowing things up constantly. You've got to make us care!

Yes, she looks so different in this! 😟

I've only watched one Thai drama (F4: Thailand: Boys Over Flowers), and while I really liked it, I don't really have a desire to see any more since, since in addition to what you mentioned, many Thai dramas are BL and BL is not my thing. Haven't jived with Jdramas either. 🤷‍♀️ They seem very much like an acquired taste!

Yes, when it was airing we had lots of frustrated talks about how misleading the synopsis is.

Yes, a beautiful, thematic drama! This screenwriter has leaned more into the thematic approach in more recent dramas, and it's rare with Kdramas so I love it in this one!

The 7th Episode and the 1st Episode were the favorites when it was airing. Episode 11 (love the Givers vs. Takers theme woven in that episode with the beautiful "Like Today Is Our Last Day" in honor of Ran Joo's mom) and 5 were my runners up. Such a lovely, poignant drama!

Yeah, he's making waves as a teenage actor (he was adorable as a kid, but is leaving cuteness behind to enter heart-throb territory now ☺️). Another Yeo Jin Goo, I think!

Oh, I'll try that, too!!

Yes, I do, and I feel like I used to be able to download fine, and now I struggle, for some reason. Gonna keep fiddling with it! Thanks for the suggestions, though. :)

I've tried but for some reason it doesn't work for me! It will say "download failed" and not let me access the download once I'm in airplane mode. 😭

Oh yeah, people are obsessed with her. Isn't she #1 on MDL for popular actors? I get it, though, she's pretty cute, and a great actress.

I feel like you can only read timed comments if you know Korean. 😆 I tried once but I kept having to rewind because I couldn't read two separate pieces of text at once. 😅 But yes, I like Viki. I just can't download episodes for plane rides (my only gripe), which is easy with Netflix. 🥺 I also think Viki subs tend to be more accurate.

Right? And the preview didn't address it at all. 😅

Very heated back and forth convos between users that always descended into derogatory labeling and name-calling battles as well as competitons for who can say the cleverest mean thing to (or about) someone who strongly disagrees with them and/or is rude to them.
