'Quickly' means that Yi Chan simply doesn't have any strong feelings toward Se Gyeong. So when he eventually gives up, it happens as if it's nothing. You'll understand when you start watching. You'll see that his feelings for Se Gyeong were never genuine or serious; they were just like a fleeting (passing) crush. It was something momentary, nothing serious, so he gives up on his own without even getting hurt a little bit.

You're absolutely right; she's the standard as well. I wrote this after seeing Yi Chan singing to Chung Ah in sign language, and it brought tears to my eyes. Not only Chung ah and Yi Chan, but everyone else here is also setting the standards too high, even the bandmates. The way they all treat Chung Ah warms my heart. I genuinely love them all.

I still don't know who the ML and SML are because they both are equally important in the story. But yes there's a really fun love triangle, which is definitely not serious or heartbreaking. I'm not even sure if I can call it a 'love triangle.' You'll be laughing the entire time as both male leads compete with each other, and one of them gets over the crush so quickly that you won't even notice it's a love triangle as the story goes on

I'm not entirely sure about Yi Chan's hearing situation or Eun Gyeol's mission, but what I do know for a fact is that Eun Gyeol's time traveling doesn't seem like it's just for fun. Honestly, it sounds a bit ridiculous to me. I mean, if it were just for fun, it could've been to any place or time, not specifically to 1995, the exact time when Eun Gyeol's parents were going through so many significant events in their lives. That wouldn't make much sense. And if Yi Chan loses his hearing again, it could be really disappointing because nothing good can come out of that. Chung Ah mentioned he shines the most when he sings, and in 1995, he looks so cheerful and different from his dull self in 2023. I think he changed a lot because of his hearing loss, losing more than just his ability to hear. Making him go deaf again might not lead to anything good, but we can never predict what Korean drama writers do these days, so we might have to brace for the worst.

I'm halfway through episode 14, and I deliberately waited to watch it later so that the wait for the next episode would be shorter. I hit pause because something didn't feel right the moment that stepmother witch showed up on the screen. Can someone please spill the beans and let me know if Yi Chan's hearing is at risk again in this episode? I'm not sure I can handle waiting if this episode leaves us hanging on that kind of cliffhanger.

It was the best episode so far. Just wow! Everything was just beautiful. I think we've found the greenest flag male lead of all time in K-drama history. Yi Chan is the standard ✨

Give this man a lead role, damn. He's too good just to play supporting roles

The first two episodes really drew me in, and I decided to explore the webtoon as well. While I'm enjoying the drama, the webtoon's take on the adoption story just seems to make more logical sense.

In the drama, I found myself wondering why on earth they would adopt Yi Joo and then subject her to such mistreatment. It felt a bit odd because they already had a daughter, and even if they didn't, they didn't appear to be missing having a child in their lives. What struck me was the adoptive mother's demeanor in the adoption center; she looked bothered by the idea of adopting a child, rather than desperate or eager. It left me questioning why they would go through with the adoption if they seemed reluctant or uncomfortable with the prospect.

In contrast, the webtoon takes a different approach, and it's a more coherent narrative. Yi Joo's adoptive mom unfortunately passes away not long after the adoption, and the mistreatment is introduced by her adoptive father's second wife, who later arrives with her own daughter (Yoo Ra). This change in the story just clicks better for me than the story in the drama version.

Thank you so much. No wonder i felt that he knew her way before he see her in the exhibition.

Could someone who has read the webtoon spoil me if Do Guk had any prior connection with Han Yi Joo before they met at the art gallery? It seems like he might have known her from before when they first met.

Oh my gosh, Ryu Si Oh looks incredibly good, and it's so unfair that we're supposed to hate him. He's just not the typical villain type. His smile and everything about him seems too nice for that role. It's kind of confusing why they cast him as the bad guy. The way he looks at Nam Soon is just heart-melting. I find it really tough to believe that it's all for evil intentions. He's just not the typical villain type. It seems more like he's genuinely in love when he looks at her.

Yeah that must be it , if they hadn't thrown in that post-credit scene, things would've been way clearer. That scene totally messed things up. 99% confusion happened because of it I think

It's pretty clear, even without all the speculation. I mean, he straight up admitted he regrets letting her go, and that's usually a sign that someone won't repeat the same mistake. They clearly had feelings for each other, and with Won Jun out of the military and Doona's career stable, there's really nothing holding them back. Remember, the breakup initially wasn't because of Doona's career – she was willing to continue dating him and even talked to her agency about it. He's the one who chose to let her go, but now he's saying he regrets it every day. After all that, if they were to break up and Doona left the apartment, it would just seem like something's not right. Throughout the drama, they had plenty of kisses, and this isn't the only series to end with a hug. Korean TV series tend to finish with hand-holding, kissing, or a hug, and we got exactly that as the ending scene. Not only did we get a hug, but they were so emotional, so it's pretty clear to me. I don't know why there's so much fuss about it.

To me, it all came down to that last conversation. I didn't need any more hints or clues to figure out the ending because it was that obvious. Won Jun plainly expressed his regret over letting her go, and they both admitted they missed each other. Breaking up after that just wouldn't make any sense. It would mean he's repeating the same mistake he regrets, and who does that, right? When they said they missed each other, it was obvious that their hug was a reconciliation. That marked the end, and the scene in Japan felt like the post-credit scene, just like in every other episode. They had those in each episode, so I'm a bit puzzled by how people could be so confused in the first place.

Yes. Obviously a happy ending. But some confuses the post credit scene with the ending. Don't let that happen to you and focus on their conversations.

You've got it! The idea of them breaking up after that conversation is completely illogical. And you're absolutely right. Those dramas where celebrities openly date and even propose in public always seemed far-fetched to me. The reality is quite different, especially in the Korean entertainment industry. This drama truly portrays how celebrity love lives work in Korea.

Absolutely, go ahead and give it a shot. You'll have a great time with it as long as you pinpoint where the ending concludes and the post-credit scene kicks in. Plus, just pay attention to what truly makes sense in the story. That's the key to enjoying it to the max.

True. But how much more straightforward do they want it to be? They hugged, they expressed how much they missed each other, and Won Jun openly admitted how much he regret about letting her go four years ago. So, it doesn't add up that they'd break up again after that, right? I mean, he regrets it every day, so it wouldn't make sense for him to repeat the same mistake. It's frustrating that people can't see it. That's where the story wraps up. And that final scene? It's like a post-credit glimpse into their lives during those four years, or maybe afterward. Right before that scene, they showed her in Brazil with the other two girls, which happened before they reunited. And right after, we see the scene in Japan. Anyway, it could have been an open or sad ending if they left it at the train station parting ways, but the story definitely gave us a clear closure. I think I should give it a re-watch to fully enjoy it. I was quite skeptical when I first watched it, with all the negative comments and such. Now, I just want to savor it in peace.

Can't believe I almost gave up on this because of all the negative reviews and comments about the ending. To anyone hesitating to give it a try because of that, I say go for it. It's clearly a happy ending – so obvious that I don't even think I need to explain it. I'm not sure why some people think it has an open or sad ending; it's like we didn't watch the same thing. Before you mislead others, please rewatch it. It's a shame the series got lower rating because many viewers misinterpreted the ending, assuming the post-credit scene was the actual ending. It's beautifully done, and I'm really glad I watched it.

Thanks a bunch for your response! It's just what I needed to hear. I'm gonna dive back into the show with your advice in mind. Appreciate it!
