I just realized we're 1/3 of the way through the series and we're still in the flashback to high school.
I need to know what the 'promise' is that Pai made to Itt and why they're no longer friends at the start of uni. (And why it seems every student from their high school ended up at that uni lol.)
If you've watched 'Capture Lover' then you'll get a sense of the production values and writing of this movie. There's some crossover in the casting too, so maybe the same studio did both. The story has some implausible moments (to say the least) and a few plot holes. And the ending? It's 'happy' but there's no explanation of how a certain character manages to show up all of a sudden, so it feels a bit like the last scene was tacked on so we'd all be smiling as the final credits start to roll.
Which episode(s) was he in lol sorry I don't remember
He was one of the two flunkies who chased after Tae Joo at the very beginning (so maybe running is a favorite theme for him haha) and he shows up a little later too, before Gook goes on his date.
I'm curious whether you watched Still 2Gether and, if so, whether it restored some of your original fondness for…
Thank you for asking. I did watch Still 2Gether and appreciated how much they worked to address the flaws in the original series so soon after the original had finished. I wonder if that's ever been done before.
What I'd envisioned for their way to 'own' the high-five in Still 2Gether was for Sarawat and Tine to be ready to do another high-five then stop themselves short, looking each other in the eye and saying simultaneously 'Nah, on second thought, let's not.' It would certainly have gotten an appreciative laugh out of me!
What I didn't expect was not only one, but two big kisses! The fact that they saved those for the very end was a clear signal that they wanted to undo the damage of the high-five at the end of 2Gether. I give them so much credit for that, and it did take away some of the sting I felt over the original.
While Bright's acting was better in Still 2Gether I still think he wasn't completely comfortable playing in a m/m relationship, so I'm looking forward to 'F4 Thailand' when he'll be the lead in the Thai version of 'Boys Over Flowers'. I bet he'll do really well in that part. (I just hope the FL has enough charisma of her own to play opposite him.)
If Episode 7 starts out with Sang Ha in peril (as I expect it will) then I'll be immediately expecting a happy ending.
Why? Because so far in the series the two guys haven't become a couple, and the whole point of 'Mr. Heart' is that these two open up to one another and fall in love.
If they'd already become a couple by now then I'd be more fearful over a sad ending like in MODC.
This is solid consedering its running time. Some issues I have with it are either cause of the format (they couldn't…
But is Jin Won really apathetic?
After the race in Episode 2 he became interested in the after-party only when he learned that the 'juniors' had made the arrangements, then immediately after he arrived he was looking for Sang Ha to be anywhere in the room. When he learned that Sang Ha would not be attending at all he immediately left. Then in the next shot we see him standing outside of Sang Ha's door.
There are many dramas -- Korean and otherwise -- that feature truly apathetic male leads. For me what makes 'Mr. Heart' interesting is how deftly the writing makes Jin Won seem irritable and indifferent on the outside while showing that he's not really indifferent at all, using his irritability as a defense against deeper feelings that he's not ready to acknowledge.
I do agree with you on the preference to have things 'shown' to the audience instead of 'told', and I give them credit for doing that at least with the flashback to high school. But like you say, there's just not enough time in the series to do that for every dramatic detail.
In terms of cliches I think the one I'm expecting the most here is that once Jin Won realizes how much peril Sang Ha is in, he'll quickly come around to acknowledging his feelings. Again, though, the short playing time for the series might necessitate taking such a blatant shortcut.

And a friend request is most welcome! :)
