I'd say it's like Love Me Love My Voice : mature and expressive boyfriend VS prudish shy girlfriend. I don't remember…
Her voice was similar in Love Like A Galaxy? I also think her younger self voice was definitely even more babyish in HL, but I thought that was just how the actress talked. 😅
I've struggled to get as into couples in dramas that draw heavily from a couple's past who dated/were married before in flashbacks (e.g. Our Beloved Summer, Welcome To Samdalri). It feels like you're missing a piece of the story and can never enjoy their present or become fully immersed in their current love because their past is where everything happened that made them care about each other.
One drama that managed to successfully (in my opinion) find a way to have former lovers/married couple fall in love again was Go Back Couple. Instead of doing many flashbacks to their "first past," they sent the characters back to the past to get a chance to "start over." I liked that it felt like we were starting from square one with them, and only later as they grew closer for the second time did they start showing flashbacks of how much they really cared about each other and why they loved each other so deeply the first time they fell in love (funny that WTS had the same screenwriter as GBC; but I think GBC is the superior drama).
Curious to see what this drama will do, since the trailer seemed to hint that, again, their past will either be shown very quickly at the beginning to introduce us to them before they dump their dysfunction on us or as flashbacks. So I'm a bit worried about how their romance rekindled in the present will land.
So, I think she was 20 when her maid/friend was found and at that point she was already a widow for three years, so I think she's supposed to be 33. I think the hairstyle aged this actress a bit, but I still thought she was lovely and her dimples were so cute. I liked her so much better in this than in Rebel: Thief Who Stole The People.
Not Korean, but I found it cute, too he he...if fits her character, too, 'coz she's mature for her age. She was…
Yes, that was a great moment. It fit well because it felt like an appropriately child-like approach to the scenario. 😅 Everyone was missing the obvious. The writers must have glossed over the marriage by proxy (it was not super clear) in order to make this moment more fun and the climax more meaningful. 😄
I thought it was super cute! 😂 It reminded me of 30 but 17 - Shin Hye Sun’s character calls a younger guy…
I didn't notice that!! But that's adorable. I don't think I was familiar enough with Korean when I saw that one to have heard it (and the translators probably didn't know how to translate that 😅). At least in this drama you got a hint in the subtitles because it translated as "Senior Ggot," but I also heard the "sunbae," too.
Ah, so good! Loved it! I love stories where the guy falls for the girl because of her values, intelligence, beliefs and character. He fell for her before even seeing her face properly, and admired her before they even met. 🥰 The only other drama that kind of reminds me of this where the romance stems initially from mutual respect and admiration for each other, where both are intellectual equals, is Sungkyunkwan Scandal, with a similarly strong FL with a love for the good. I like the FL in this even better because she is also compassionate.
P.S. Seok Jeong ended up being one of my favorite characters, but there were so many endearing ones!!
Not quite done but still wondering how she got his sword, then? I'll keep watching, though, so don't tell me, but I was afraid that flashback did indeed show her brother dying. 😭 Poor Yeo Hwa!!!
Yes, that's why I said it wasn't a happy ending, but whenever I rewatch it or think of CLOY, I don't think of it as a drama with an open/kind of sad ending, for some reason.
Yes, this screenwriter's other dramas all had a hokey premise, so I'm curious to see what she does with a more or less normal setting and characters without the fantasy/fantastical element. I never saw Producers, but it seems that one wasn't fantastical in anyway?
Hopefully more of a Legend of the Blue Sea ending than a CLOY or My Love From The Star ending... I sometimes forget that CLOY doesn't really have a happy ending because the last scene is so idyllic and it leaves room for our imagination to finish the story the way we want. But hopefully this one will be more clearly happy!

Has anyone read the webtoon? There's got be a reason this was greenlit. Maybe the synopsis is trolling us?
Also, the CG for this sounds like a nightmare, and expensive.
