It's a bit much to say it's creepy, IMO. Even a 12th grader in Korean years would be roughly 19 or 20, which isn't far from Ra Ra's 24. Plus he's matured and lived alone as an adult for a while now, so it's not like he's innocent and needs to be protected.

Though I think the doctor's comments were applicable to last year and he's probably 20 or 21 right now.

He COULD be 20 at this point. Remember that Korean age is +1/+2 the age we're used to. If he was in high school last year (the way the doctor spoke was sort of unclear), he could even be 21 right now, which isn't far from Ra Ra's Korean age of 24.

Exactly this. No one is blaming the woman. It's just sad/unfortunate for the man, because his feelings were stronger than hers and/or unrequited.

"Unique" can be contextual as well. Romcoms of this style aren't made often anymore, so among the recent catalogue of dramas that have aired or are airing, it's unique.

As Ra Ra says, the song is titled "Je Te Veux" or "I Want You" and was written by Erik Satie because he loved one woman, his accompanist, more than anyone in the world. He loved her until the day he died.

When Ra Ra notes that the woman was popular and married 3 times, it's sad because she clearly didn't feel the same way and loved other men.

So many people are calling this basic but it's exactly what I wanted. It was a relatively simple, cute, fluffy BL drama that didn't feature any homophobia conflicts, no extended gay-questioning, no rapey scenes, no insistence that one of the MLs isn't gay but just loves this particular male character, and no overly done melodrama.

We got a simple love story between two guys that fell in love without even thinking about the concept of sexuality labels. That's so rare. I'm dead tired of homophobia plots, BL tragedies, and what everyone loves to refer to as "realism". Mr. Heart doesn't stand out as a kdrama, but it does as a BL drama specifically because it takes a simple and sweet Korean romcom formula and makes both the leads men without adding stereotypical BL conflicts for the sake of it.

I love them both. This drama has a very different vibe than WYEL, but I love how breezy and fun it is.

The most recent airing trend in Korea is 2 split half hour episodes airing on the same day for a total of 4 half hour episodes every week. This gives them the chance to fit some commercials between them, since Korea has airing laws that prevent commercials in the "middle" of an episode.

Basically, it's a loophole so they can air commercials.

I've seen many Thai and TW BL dramas, but this one really beat them all for me despite its short length. It was basically perfect all around. No complaints here.

TKEM seems to be using a similar variation of time travel as J.K Rowling did in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In this regard, you need to think of it as cyclical and fated. It's a causal loop, not a conditional difference. That means you can't think in terms of "original" timelines and variations. His going back to save himself doesn't actually "change" anything because he is fated to save himself at this point in time. There is no timeline in which he isn't saved by himself, basically.

Bingo.

So Lee Gon at the end of Episode 10 is wearing the same outfit we see him in at the very beginning of Episode 1 (as he's riding his horse into the gate and holding the sword). The flowers he gives Tae Eul are also the same flowers she's trying to grow, and he speaks as if he is burdened with tons of regrets. His language has also changed, noting that he traveled a great distance to see her, when previously he described the trip between worlds as "going to a nearby town". Tae Eul's step back from him also makes it seem like she noticed something is off, strange, or different.

The in-between world has also changed. In Episode 5, it was a long narrow strip of land with a singular balloon (the one Lee Gon used to test wind). In Episode 10, the land is much wider, there are mountains visible in the distance, the water is no longer calm, and there are DOZENS of balloons.

I'm sooo ready for all the timey-whimey stuff to come into play.

They did show it. It's the scene when she spreads flower seeds in-between worlds.

He's replacing key high figures in Corea with their Korea counterparts by offering them a better life. Most of the Korea counterparts are living in poverty or have miserable lives. With this, he can assemble a sort of army that has power in Corea.

He's essentially jumping between both worlds and trying to replace figures in Corea with people he can control from Korea by offering them the better lives of their Corea counterparts.

"even with proof all around her she's still skeptical"

What, in Episode 5, gave you that idea? If she was skeptical she wouldn't have bothered trying to find her dead mother.

Other than both being fantasy dramas, it's really nothing like Goblin.

To be fair to L, everyone seems like a rookie compared to the FL. Her acting is on another level. But L managed to keep up and definitely improved throughout Angel's Last Mission. His comedy scenes were a bit overacted, but his emotional and contemplative scenes were great IMO.

I love that people are complaining about chemistry, being confused, things not making sense, and character development from 2 episodes out of 16 of a fantasy drama. It's fine if you want to drop it, but let's not pretend it's instantly a bad drama because you ran out of patience before it even had the chance to build its plot or characters.

This is by far one of the sweetest romantic comedies. It has this wonderful fairy tale vibe that makes everything feel magical and sincere. Jang Na Ra does such an excellent job with Mi Young that even the slightest expression can break your heart or melt you into a puddle. The grand orchestral music really supports the aforementioned fairy tale vibe, too.

No seriously. They used a song out of The Princess Diaries OST and it made for one of the greatest moments.
