I like this theory. There are a lot of fate threads she’s engaged but if this is true it would be my favorite.
I know.. I'd also be really happy if this is true. Because then it means this Yu ra character introduction actually had a purpose from the beginning. Let's hope for the best.
as long as i remember, jihyuk said "something that is not a problem will be a problem" (if they can change the…
First of all, I'm not saying what I said will definitely be the case, but the whole ex-fiancé's character appearance would make a lot of sense if this is the case. Second of all, do you really think someone as crazy as her would've let it slide if the ML broke off the engagement without another woman in the picture, and she's only acting this way now because of the thought of loosing him to another woman? I highly doubt that. Someone like her would never be able to accept the fact that someone, especially with considerable assets is dare to reject her for whatever reason. She's the type of person who thinks no one dares to reject her unless she rejects them first. She's got this ego trip going on, thinking nobody can say no to her. Sure, she wasn't into him in their previous lifetime, and she's still not into him now. The problem lies with that ex-fiancé girl's psycho mentality.
Although she was never interested in him, she was still chasing and harassing all the women that the ML was interacting with even in the previous lifetime as shown in a flashback. It's not just about some other girl getting him when she can't; it's also about the thought of ML rejecting her. She thinks so highly of herself and she thinks no one can reject her. And from what we've seen, it's obvious she wants U & K. Although there was no woman that caused the rejection in the previous lifetime, she was still rejected by ML and also she lost the chance to get U&K. Given her crazy personality, these reasons are more than enough for her to think of killing him although there was no woman involved that time. And also, we don't know what he said as a reason for rejecting her. Maybe he said the truth, that he likes someone else but that one is no longer alive but still he doesn't intend to live with someone else while loving another. This could've pissed her off but she can't do anything to Ji Won that time as she was already dead so she targeted the ML instead. Any of these are possibilities. We can't rule out anything as you said given that girl is a psycho. Don't forget that she's not a reasonable person to think the way you said. She's not the type to think things through logically. She only thinks of herself and anything that could harm her ego, she's going to go after that and destroy it. That mindset is the same in both lifetimes.
I also used to be annoyed as majority of this comment section when they introduced a new evil character out of the blue when everything was going smoothly. but then I saw a comment here that made me realize something crucial about ex fiancé's role in the drama.
In the current storyline, everything seemed fine for the main leads until this ex-fiancé character showed up. But my guess is that, her appearance might actually be essential for the ML's future. See, if things had continued as they were until episode 12, the ML might have met a tragic end in 2023 as he was supposed to.
Remember when the ML confessed to Ji Won in episode 12,that he didn't realize his feelings for her until she died in her previous life in 2023? And it was only after realizing his feelings that he called off the engagement. Well, in this lifetime, by calling off the engagement sooner, it seems to have changed the timeline.
It's possible that the ex-fiancé, feeling rejected, caused the accident that originally led to the ML's death in 2023. But this time, the accident happened earlier and it was meant for Ji won but still ended up affecting the ML.
So now, with the threat of the 2023 death gone, all they need to do is tackle their current issues for a shot at a happy ending. I used to think the ex-fiancé's plot was unnecessary, but now I see its significance in shaping the story and ensuring a brighter future for the both main leads.
Fingers crossed that this theory is on point, and the ML can finally avoid that 2023 tragedy!
Could somebody please explain how in EP 16, ML said he had to be "born again just like you were" yet FL hasn't…
I'm really sorry, but I didn't understand your question completely. I think you are asking about how FML ages. In that case, let me explain it this way. So she was indeed murdered 28 years ago and reborn as Oh Baek Ryun. She wasn't the high school girl who came after the ML 28 years ago, but she was reborn as a different person, FML - Oh Baek Ryun, after she was murdered. That's why she hasn't aged after 28 years because Oh Baek Ryun is only 28 years old. She only regained her memories from her past lives after she saw that painting from her first life in ML's drawer. The murderer was aged because when he first murdered the FML in her past life, he was only a teenager. So he aged with time because in the current timeline, murderer is around 45 years old. As for the ML, yes, he said he was 'reborn again just like the FML,' but what he meant was he is not a fairy anymore. It doesn't mean he was born as a human baby then had to grow up like Baek Ryun did after she was murdered 28 years ago. ML is still him but in human form, not in fairy form. It only took him around 3 years to come back as a human, didn't take 20+ years just like FML did. Hope this helps you to clarify whatever you have confusions with.
NO UR KIDDING!!!!! I really wanna watch this and was mentally preparing myself to get over the cringe FL but WORSE…
I'm on episode 4 now. Yes, it's pretty bad. Usually I purposely avoid the trope where the FML chases the ML first because, let's face it, in almost every drama with that trope, the FML always embarrasses herself, and I take it too personally for some reason. But I'm forcing myself to watch this one just for the ML. He's so fine. His acting is pretty bad, though. Maybe it's his character. Somehow , I was able to get through the worst part, so I think you should give it a try and see. If you can get through that embarrassing part, it's a pretty good watch.
If you can get over the secondhand embarrassment, the bad acting (mainly from ML), and constantly remind yourself…
Hi, can you tell me if the FML is going to keep embarrassing herself? I'm still on episode 1, and it's hard to watch how she behaves. But I like the ML, so I want to continue watching. If she's going to keep embarrassing herself like that, I don't think I'll be able to handle it.
The ending was so beautiful and satisfying—everything I'd hoped for in a fantasy drama. Although I've been a fan since the beginning, I also think the chemistry between the leads started to decline after they began dating. They had fantastic chemistry and tension before they started dating, but once they did, the focus of the drama shifted more towards the mystery part, which eventually impacted their chemistry. This was especially noticeable from the male lead's perspective, as his focus shifted more into the murder case in the latter part of the story. Despite the dip in their chemistry and that boring story between the other fairy and FML's friend, I loved the overall story, and I still stand by my earlier comment about it giving off a 2016 K-drama vibe. I especially appreciated how the writers decided to give a very satisfactory and complete happy ending, avoiding any confusion—a rare treat, especially in fantasy K-dramas. Huge thanks to the entire crew for providing something that made me look forward to the weekend. It may not be the best or everyone's cup of tea, but for me, it's definitely one of my favorite K-dramas from 2023, and I'll probably be re-watching it anytime soon. Gonna miss it.
What a beautiful way to wrap up an amazing story! Everything about this drama was so captivating. Now, facing the end of all three of my favorite dramas in the same week, it's hard to imagine my weekends without them. My weekends will never be the same without this, My man is cupid and my demon. But I'm relieved to know that I can re-watch them anytime, thanks to the satisfying conclusions that didn't ruin the story. While I loved every aspect of this drama, I have one small complaint – the dolphin couple didn't get enough screen time. Their story could have developed more. Despite this, everything else was on point. It was an emotional and fun ride, truly one of the best comfort dramas I've ever watched. I'm going to miss it so much.
What are your theories for Dohee and Guwon? Do u think they will meet in other lifetimes and Guwon will wait for…
If he were human, he would know it because he wouldn't be able to make deals anymore with humans. The fact that he doesn't know means he's still the demon. Directors and writers often focus on providing a satisfying ending at the moment without considering what happens afterward. Maybe once Do Hee dies, she'll be reincarnated again, and Gu Won will wait for her, similar to what happened in Goblin. Alternatively, as she gets older, he might strive to become human as well, or he could choose to give up being a demon and pass away with her when the time comes
It took me a while to write this review because, first, I already miss them so much—it feels like I've lost something I looked forward to every day. Second, I needed to sort out my mixed feelings about the ending. I'm so glad they decided to give a happy ending to this couple, which made it easier to find closure. Having a happy ending means I can rewatch it whenever I miss it.
Although I'm one of the few who thoroughly enjoyed this without getting bored even a little bit, I was kind of disappointed about the last two episodes. Some of them make no sense, and some of them were too typical. Especially the ending of episode 15—him being the demon, even if he is shot, he'd still survive. FML knows this well but still decided to take the bullet for him. I know K-drama directors typically include scenes like this to show how deep their love is, but it was like the stupidest scene I've ever seen in a K-drama. And then somehow Gu Won perished, yet he appeared again without any problem in the very next episode? They underestimated the meaning of 'perish' by bringing him back to life as if nothing happened. Yes, it was much better than getting a sad ending, but they could've executed it better.
Last but not least, him continuing to stay as the demon was somewhat a letdown for me. Them leading a normal, ordinary life together would have been a much better ending. It would also give an explanation for how he survived being perished. He was being punished for not obeying the manual, and returning to being a human after bringing the dead back to life would have made more sense. Now, he still has to keep making deals with humans to keep his demon side. Also, he will have to keep living in the same form even when Do Hee gets old and even when she dies. In my opinion, the ending could've been so much better than that, and the ending we've got didn't do justice to the rest of the drama that I've been enjoying so much. Nevertheless, I'm truly going to miss this so much, and it'll be at the top of my favorite drama list.
It seems like I'm the only one still loving this and not getting bored with it. I'm looking forward to watching the ending next week. Shed a few tears during that intense last scene in episode 14. I feel bad for both of them. I hope they both find peace and happiness, leading to a happy ending so that we can have our own peace of mind and happiness after the ending.
So worth it! Ratings can be misleading; don't let them fool you when it comes to such great dramas. It's pretty…
Although some aspects and the drama's focus may differ, this show is indeed similar to Reply 1988 in my opinion. I agree it's not an exact match, but it's definitely fair to say it's 'pretty similar.' The story revolves around group of friends growing up together and their friendship plays a significant role, strong family bonds, and the neighborly connections in that small village, and the comedic aspect in both dramas are also similar. There are many similarities. This one delves even deeper into emotions, offering a more profound narrative than Reply 1988. The main reason for this lies in Reply 1988 showcasing lives only in their teen years and twenties, while this show goes beyond, depicting what real adulthood looks like and how challenging it can be. Yes, the storyline is a bit different, but so many aspects are similar, making it okay to say they're 'pretty similar.' The use of 'pretty' here implies a moderate level of similarity between the two dramas, acknowledging the parallels in character development and background despite variations in the overall plot.
guys is this worth watching?saw the mid rating and recent reviews, someone pls convince me
So worth it! Ratings can be misleading; don't let them fool you when it comes to such great dramas. It's pretty similar to Reply 1988 (if you've watched it, you'd know how great it is). This drama is a complete package with romance, family, friendship, comedy, and more. I personally enjoy it a lot. It's currently one of my favorite among all the ongoing K-dramas and will likely become one of my all-time best comfort dramas
Literally obsessed with this drama, and episode 12 was incredibly satisfying, well... Only until the last part :(. I regret not waiting longer to start this; then, I wouldn't have had to endure such a long wait for the next episode. Overall, everything's great, but a bit more focus on Gong Ji Chan, Cho Hae Dal, and Cha Ha Yool's story would make it perfect. Their storyline is so great and adorable, but they don't get much screen time. With only four episodes left, I'm not sure if there will be enough time to fully develop their story
I saw in another comment that you're on episode 9. Don't worry, by episode 12 you'll know who to root for. The…
Really? I don't know if I should be relieved or sad about that. I genuinely liked him and hope he won't do something too bad. Anyway, thank you for the heads up! ♥️
Wow, I've never struggled this much to choose between the ML and SML before. Every character in this drama is a green flag. I feel torn between rooting for the ML and dealing with second lead syndrome. It's not fair to put two perfect characters falling in love with and being faithful to the same girl simultaneously. How am I supposed to root for just one of them when they do that? I'm suffering with both the ML and SML. 😭💔
I'm still on episode 9 (I started late on purpose so that I can watch all the episodes together). I've grown so attached to it. I really don't understand the rating system anymore. How does it only have an 8.4 rating? This deserves so much more than that. I've cried more than three times already because of their acting. I could feel the emotions they portray; the storyline is top-notch. It's so similar to Reply 1988, and maybe this has even more emotions than Reply 1988. It's all good – great story, great acting – everything's perfect. I really love this, and it's so sad that these ratings don't do justice to this masterpiece. I find myself questioning my taste lately because many of the dramas I enjoy have low ratings. I wonder if the issue is with my preferences rather than the others. Perhaps I'm drawn to average or even less popular dramas, which could explain why many of my favorites don't receive the ratings I believe they deserve.
