Anything by this screenwriter, though Start-Up is a toss-up as it has a lot of lying. It's a good drama, just less enjoyable than this one or this screenwriter's other dramas. The screenwriter that did Crash Landing also has good dramas, and the Dr. Romantic seasons are also good. 😏 Some of my favs!

Definitely food for the soul! And I agree, I think Episode 1 was objectively the best. Young Ki Ho just owns the screen whenever he's shown, and young Mok Ha was great, too. Episodes 7 and 11 are hard on Episode 1's heals for me, too, though. Then Episode 5, cause the wedding scenes were really sweet and we finally got more Ki Ho and Mok Ha. 😏 But there were cute scenes throughout all the episodes; those were just my highlights.

I liked Someday the best, too (of Park Eun Bin's songs). All the other songs were lovely and quite good, too, but that one stuck the most (Dream Us was cute, too). I ended up liking As If It's Your Last Day in Episode 11 the most out of all of them, though. Overall, such great listening throughout! They did an amazing job writing both a good script and good songs for this. That was probably a harder goal to achieve than we realize! And the song lyrics intertwined really nicely with the themes, too. 😊

And thanks! Her lip syncing during the music video looked more realistic, so that makes sense.

Almost got an 80 minute episode!

I suppose it depends on what you find annoying, since there are a lot of ways love triangles can be handled. 😏 In this, the 2ML does like the FL and is sad he can't be with her, but that's about it. No angst or drama or conflict. There are some questions about love triangles below, too, and you can see how people responded if you want more details. :)

Yeah, for some reason she's not in the cast list. I wondered who sang her song, too, since it's obviously not Hyo Jin or Eun Bin.

Hope to see him get more lead roles! Have loved him in everything I've seen him in and he's good looking AND can act. He can do subtle facial expressions which is a must-have for a character who doesn't rely on words to emote and communicate.

Whoa, he's been in a unexpectedly large number of TV shows! Did not expect to see that gigantic list, haha. Stole the show for me in Bad and Crazy and thought he was adorable in Castaway Diva!

Why does his bio page say he's 31? If he was born in 1993 then he shouldn't be 31 until May of next year. 🤔

I usually wait for a version that includes the sung OST plus all the BGMs and they're usually all grouped together in one playlist. Here's hoping it drops soon! 😁

Those reading this comment section hunting for a Kdrama with heartwarming characters, beautiful cinematography and discography, a tight, well-written script augmented by lovely metaphors that highlight the themes throughout, stories about family and the beauty of love and the sacrifices it requires (a picture of the world as it can be, not as it is, and not in an escapist sense, but in the sense that it inspires one to want to live more fully and meaningfully in the world you're a part of or in other words, idealism in the best sense), you will ENJOY this drama from start to finish. (And if you like this screenwriter's other works, this is definitely one of her best so you won't be disappointed).

Don't focus on the comments about it being written poorly, since this version of Kdramaland is probably just not to their taste. So, with that said...

Go for it!

I know, I've been checking all day but still nothing. Normally they release the entire OST the day it airs or right afterwards but still nothing. 😭

I heard the snippet of Ran Joo humming it in the cafe, hoping it would be an actual song introduced later and I was so happy to be right! It was just so beautiful. I almost like the hummed version better than the one with lyrics. I kind of hope both get released. 😁

SAME! Ended up being my favorite song in the drama. Mok Ha wrote lyrics to it later and called it "As If Today's Your Last Day" (I think), but I don't think it's been released yet (at least on Spotify; the official soundtrack still hasn't fully released yet as far as I can tell).

If I could, I'd give this drama an 11/10. My new favorite Kdrama. And the last episode was just pure coziness!

No, there's nothing like that. SML is a gem. :)

True! Though the spoilers will probably get buried as people will start posting mostly about their overall impressions now that it's done. There are also reviews that will probably start pouring in, too. Is there a way to petition to change the synopsis, haha?

I also have thought the synopsis should be changed. Now that there are reviews and comments about it, though, the synopsis might be less necessary than previously as a guide to whether or not it will be enjoyed. I tend to read synopses on MDL just for basic information since so many of them are really not great/accurate. Reading the comments I get a much better feel for what I'm diving into.

Haha, it's just that Kdramas are already so dramatic, and yet somehow makjangs manage to make the average Kdrama look like a documentary. I struggle to take them seriously. 🙃 I think the closest thing I got to one was Heirs or My Father is Strange. I did end up liking My Father Is Strange, but it took me months to finish it...

Infinitely preferable to a sweet dad bleeding out on the street or his son looking grief-stricken!
