Plenty of episodes left for it to gain more momentum and creep up if the episodes continue being as strong as…
I also feel like maybe this drama won't appeal to international audiences as much as say, My Demon or Sweet Home? There are also a LOT of good dramas competing for attention right now, especially on the weekends. I was wondering if the end of the year gets flooded with stronger, more buzzworthy dramas since awards season is around the corner. It felt like there was a long stretch with only a good drama here or there until recently and then we got flooded. 😂
No.There are very very few Kdrmas in romance genre with male POV.None in last few years.The writers simply can't…
Okay, I think I know what you mean? There might have been a few points in CD with ML, but they were brief. I also think some dramas don't always delve this deeply into the main leads' feelings. I haven't seen My Demon so I'm not familiar with that part...
I usually I prefer stories to show us what characters think and feel through their actions and words to other characters rather than giving us a direct window into their thoughts as a scene happens, anyway. I think it's more artistic and creative. Though sometimes it's done more in comedic scenes and can help make them funnier. Also, I suppose voiceovers kind of count, too?
the korean govt really wants to promote the birth rate and ppl leaving seoul and having babies😂😂
I was wondering if Jeju is really that much cheaper than living in Seoul? It's a vacation/seaside spot for Koreans, right? So I picture it being pricey for locals like similar tourist spots in California or Hawaii, for instance, but maybe it's not an accurate comparison.
I laughed when I saw who they cast as Jin Dal's ex-husband because I instantly pictured him in scenes with Jin Dal. He usually plays comedic roles so I anticipate chaotic interactions and over-the-top antics ahead between him and Jin Dal. 😅

Castaway Diva kinda does? I can think of some others as well. Though I suppose it's necessary to define what we mean by "ML's POV" since we all might have a different idea of what that looks like. 🤔
For those who are deciding whether to watch this or not, this does not have the same plot as the popular dramas…
"This is all about the director's execution and writer's creativity to create magic out of the common or mundane." Love this.
Well-put! People who come to Kdramas for original stories are looking in the wrong places, and it confuses me to no end. Why complain about how predictable the plot is? Kdramas ARE predictable; that's their essence, haha. There are certain tried-and-true plots and premises that can be told different ways and still feel fresh and new, but you have to go into it knowing that the basic plot is something we've seen before, but the drama itself can still deliver something we haven't seen before and that "spin" (I call it "a variation on a theme") can still be deeply enjoyed. 👍
Oh, this is my cup of tea!) I really like this genre!Hometown vibe, friendship, all characters dynamics, healing.This…
Yeah, interested in the older sister's story, too! And the younger sister they seem to be hinting was married but her husband died (one daughter was an old maid (sam dal), another a divorcee (jin dal) and another was a widow (which leaves the youngest sister, hae dal?)? At times they make it like she got pregnant outside of marriage and other times seem to make it like she had a baby after her husband died? I have been most confused by her story.

That made me remember that the guy in Go Back Couple was a weaker ML, too (different kind of "weaker," though), for most of the drama. 😂 He was so frustrating until the last few episodes. It's easier to watch the cute and sweet pushover guys than the jerks, though, I think. 😏
that scene when she is in the gallery and all the picture are the backs. its so meaningfull as " everyone turns…
Yeah, sometimes people do need to be brought down from their lofty perch when they are being awful humans because that is sometimes what's needed, but I liked how this drama showed just how crazy the momentum can become on the internet regardless of the facts. Situations are rarely as simple or black and white as people want them to be, but many people don't want to bother getting to the bottom of the actual situation becaus that's too time-consuming and difficult. The situation is a messy one, and not one a catchy news post (or a bunch of short, snappy articles) could really do credit to. It's a bummer a lot of people don't want truth, they want news to gossip about or that makes them feel better about themselves by jumping on the "correct" side of the media maelstrom or that confirms their own beliefs.

Getting more and more Reply 1988 vibes as it progresses, and that chaotic comaraderie is something I'm here for!

Yong Pil grew up in a seaside down with a diver mother and can't swim? Fishy... 🤨🤔
