I feel like I disagree with everyone that says the ending was unnecessary. Hee Do and Yi Jin breaking up was a very realistic ending. I especially loved how they root for each other even years after their parting. When Yi Jin became a reporter, it wasn't possible for their relationship to be the same. Hee Do's mom did what she could, but the nature of the work scarred Hee Do. With Yi Jin doing the same job, they became incompatible. Yi Jin couldn't have quit though. His main goal was to bring his family back together using any means possible. As Hee Do grew up, it wasn't possible to just seek happiness together, but with their difference in maturity, they couldn't share their burdens with each other. I think this drama was so beautifully done.

I think it's a no from me. It's too problematic and the fact that the ML already sexually harassed the FML and they're supposed to get together is icky to me. Even if they drop the whole Africa thing, I can't get over the fact that they used these negative stereotypes and Black people as literal props to make their Mc look good. If you miss KYD, I would say watch Extraordinary You.

- In Canada, nobody says "I'm from the continent America". The continent is North America. It's the same deal where in drams they call Canada by its name and not by the continent. - They do not need to name a country but that makes it look like they're portraying the entirety of Africa as a place without clean drinking water - The drama doesn't need to be a documentary for the writer's to do research about a place where they are writing. Needless to say, they used stereotypes as a cover for their lack of effort - Why do they need to use "music that evokes Africa". Why couldn't they just use the OST

You're already doing a great job of sticking to the definition of ignorant! Search up whether or not sending unsolicited pictures is sexual harassment or not. Then we can talk about your definition. If that's sexual harassment, what makes him doing that any different? Under the criminal code where I live, it can be considered indecent communication. Now tell me if this is twisting facts

Okay? When someone in a drama goes to the US do they say the States or do they say North America? It's not a lie to say they generalized when they're acting as if the entirety of Africa doesn't have clean drinking water? It's abundantly clear they didn't do their research which is WHY they couldn't even name a country. How do you even know they did thier research? Did they tell you? What random village is it then? Please enlighten me because I would love to know. There's a difference between making an enttire documentary and adding enough details in to not come off as ignorant, which is exactly what they did.
You just said the music is American but it's associated with Africa. You're contradicting yourself? If you also think it's associated with Africa, think about why they might have put it in the background. Africa is such a diverse continent with many offical languages and different cultures. They wanted to add background music that "evokes Africa" but since they didn't do their research and pick a village or country, they couldn't use music with any correlation to the region they picked. WHy couldn't they have just used music from the OST? Did you ever even think to stop and ask yourself that?

She was clearly uncomfortable?? He followed her into the bathroom and unsolicitedly tried to show her his private parts. You keep defending this drama everywhere but it's so gross how you're undermining the racism and harassment that's so prevalent..

How are you going to call someone pathetic when that's what this comment is? The music was chosen purposefully and if you can't recognize that, that's problematic on its own. Not only that, but you can't refute they generalized Africa as a whole country. It's so obvious they didn't do their research and just picked a place they thought was "poor and needy" to make their MC look good.
Not them playing the lion king music and using Black people as literal props to make their character seem like a kind guy. Did they even do their research on Africa? They couldn't have picked a country that he visited to add to the script? PSA to the writers: AFRICA IS NOT A COUNTRY. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
I'm dropping this drama, it's too problematic already. Was looking forward to LSK's new drama since I loved WLFKBJ, but every other drama of hers I've seen has been a miss. I was hoping for a cute idol/office romance drama, but I'm just so disappointed.
The mini clips at the end of each episode are my favourite! They're so cute and I like that we get moments of them together even though we haven't reached that part in the drama. I will say I find the 2nd couple boring and skip almost every scene they appear in. I'm not ready for the future episodes because I know childhood friend is going to stir things up and make things complicated. I hope it pushes LXZ and GW together though
The FML is getting on my nerves. How is this drama tagged with smart FML when she gets into trouble every 2 seconds and the ML has to solve the issue for her...
I'm only on episode 5 but I love this version so much more than the others. I think Thyme is unravelling to be a much more dynamic character than Dao Ming Si, Domyoji, or Gu Jun Pyo. I love that Gorya has a supportive and sweet family (unlike in the other versions). I thought that I would find this as toxic and disappointing as I usually find the Boys Over Flowers remakes, but I'm pleasantly surprised so far. I'm looking forward to this series!
The romance between the leads was so natural and adorable! Usually when the leads start dating I lose interest…
I thought their scenes together twhen they were officially dating were also sp cute.. Usually they stop showing the leads and start focusing on the second leads which is usually really disappointing. Glad we got a bunch of scenes with them
