The show was beautifully filmed, but the story and characters themselves were a bit meh.
it was nice but not great.

Clearly the budget for this show all went into casting the main actors, these two are doing a great job every episode is cuter than the previous !!

it's been so long since i've seen a BL with a bad wig, almost feels mostalgic lol

well this was way cuter than i expected, now i regret not waiting for all the episodes to be out before starting lol

cameback to rewatch this after i got the news about their wedding haaaa

Got it, i'll go in with low expectations then ahah

Thank you so much, i might give it a chance then !

Noted, thanks !

Thankss i'll be waiting for your feedback ahah

Pretty nice, as a Polyglot myself this was a fun watch !
Although the actors have an age-gap, it didn't really show in the drama itself they were cute together.
+++ points for that ONE OST that would play during upbeat moments and sometimes during the end credits, it's definitly going in my plaulist !

Everytime i think i wanna start this one, i get discouraged by the reviews.
Is it really as bad as everybody says ? :,)

Well not exactly, i'm actually calling him a bad friend lol. I don't recall all the details, but from what i remember :
1- He ignored all her texts/calls when she was abroad and needed a friend because he was jealous (could be excused as him trying to move on + not knowing that she was sick, but still ghosting your bestfriend, not very cool)
2- After she cameback and they again were acting like really close friends, the second he would get jealous or things didn't go his way he would again start ignoring her calls/texts, even when she was doing things to help him.
3- After they got together, he got all petty about her just CONSIDERING going abroad to fulfill her dreams.
These are the main 3 scenes that really stuck with me, so basically as a boyfriend he's fine-could-be-better, as a feiend tho he wasn't that great :,)

anyone who watched the original japanese version could tell me if this one is just as good / worth the watch ? (or even better maybe ? lol)

i just rewatched this, and tbf she had every write to be mad, her husband was cheating on her with her friend lol

Yes i can understand her point of view, but in a long-term relationship it's normal to have ups and downs, the most important point for me was that he didn't give up on her or their relationship, obviously when taking care of a loved one who's going through such hardhsips it's hard to be on top of it all the time. Maybe they just didn't showcase the negatives enough in the flashbacks ? They kept hinting at him cheating for exemple, but turns out he didn't and then they had a fight and that's it she left him, broke the engagement and went back home, like you said it's a bit over-the-top but it is a Kdrama so yeah ahah
But i really don't think he was the one to share the news with her co-workers, they never hinted at that hm
Anyway, it's nice exchanging opinions on a kdrama with a fellow watcher, i hope you're enjoying your viewing session ! :)

Yes that's true, but his personal family problems can't excuse his attitude towards other people, the female lead also had many problems with her family yet she was still there for him 100%, i won't go into details in-case you haven't gotten far enough yet. ^^

This is probably one of Haein's worst characters ever, don't get me wrong i'm not talking about his acting he did great, but the character itself is so unlikable ?? he's so self-centered and treats the girl (his childhood friend/bestfriend mind you) soooo bad.
And on that note : WHY did she not get back with her fiancé i'm so confused ? just a few episodes before he cameback she said she still loved him, he didn't cheat on her, he was there for her when she was sick and he cameback all the way to korea to apologize and get back with her. Why did they even break-up actually it was so unclear, because they had one fight ??
Last thing i'm wondering about is : Why did Moeum's mom react so badly to her dating the journalist ? i feel like him being a father is not reason enough for such a harsh reaction but maybe that's just me ? :,)

This was definitly not as bad as people make it to be, it was a good healing drama. With that said i also have some negatives to share so i'll do so in spoilers lol

i went into this expecting a female version of Only friends (the original season), and the first episodes kinda hinted at some similarly messy plots, but as the show went on it just felt like a bunch of nothing- Too bad, this had so much potential with this really nice cast but oh well.

Oh i see thank you ! Well that's just confusing OP should've posted this comment on "Sold out on you"'s comment section not here then ahah
