I feel exactly the same. The first half was fun a refreshing, but the second half somehow became boring, average and hard to finish. Also, I´m still not sure if the FL was good or annoying.

Rowoon was born in 1996

Wow, the names might be fun, but such a good cast wasted on a middle european setting, such a mood killer:( the last ones were a disaster, maybe it looks exotic for Koreans (and convinient for the budget), but I hope the plot will soon move back far far away from my boring location

Same here, so many unanswered questions, repetitive irritating scenes, characters and plot holes. I don´t even like chinese drama. Still, Lomon was worth watching this till the - unbelievable - end. Expectable thou, as they showed almost the whole drama in the opening and ending.

I rewatched this after a few years. I remembered liking it back then, and I became a fan of Rowoon later on in other dramas. The concept and overall atmosphere are still interesting. I mostly liked the cast and how the characters developed (well, except for the female lead, who gradually started to get on my nerves).
But honestly, what a script! It’s extremely repetitive. Some episodes just circle around the same things again and again (and I don’t mean the parts that are intentionally styled that way or meant to be repeated). It didn’t even feel romantic or mysterious anymore, as the plot stopped moving forward. Not even Rowoon could save it.
Usually, I get bored before a romance series ends—like, out of 16 episodes, at least 2 often feel unnecessary and stretched. In this drama’s case, the plot would’ve been fine without at least 4 episodes of constantly repeating and rehashing the obvious. The final "resolution" was quite unsatisfying as well.

I kind of liked this drama, although it doesn't have a very interesting plot and there is no promissed age gap, but the last 5 episodes or so became almost indigestible, the romance and the dialogues were too exaggerated and tiresome even for a kdrama. Still I finished it for Rowoon - despite being written too far from reality, this was his hottest character so far, in my opinnion.

Rewatched after like 10 years and I still cried <3

the air date "2024" disappeared and Taecyeon has two other dramas reported for next year...this could have been fun:(

yeah, I´m curious, it also moved up the list of the most popular shows, the third place definitely belonged to Descendants of the sun for a long time

Exactly! I still have flashbacks about Stand by your man, it played over and over again...I had no idea the song you mentioned was sung by Bruce Willis though :D:D:D

I was not aware, but just from the first few episodes it was obvious this drama has to have something in common with Something in the rain...the director´s style is unique but not my cup of tea:( I guess it should look the most natural, like in real life, still I found the characters and conversations odd and stiff. Another clue/simmilarity to Someting in the rain was music, it annoyed me throughout the first drama and here it starts off likevise. So far, I found myself interested only in one topic - how stressful it must be for korean high schoolers trying to get accepted to good uni. Still it won´t be enought to keep on watching.

yep, he is suspicious, I just saw promo photos (the ones with curtains) and his picture suggests a physical strenght, I guess it is not just his ability to connect the wierd family?...actually, what interested me more in that picture is that there might be one more mysterious figure in Bok family

That´s an interesting idea, the granny could have left the door slightly open without even realising it or remember it till now, when her health condition appears/gets worse. I tought they just wanted to add more salt into FL wounds by her mom being sick, but this would actually make sense why to show this information now and connect it with that particular day just before encovering the accident was unintentional (the baby boy did not see anything awful before being hit). The last scene with the talbet record was devastating... Also ML´s parents must have hidden the tablet as a future insurance, they knew the congressman could doublecross them at any moment, leave their son without treatment or anything, and soon after he did the same to the driver who killed ML´s mother.

good point, he would have at least ask her to try to remember

Yeah, I actually suspected them only after the incident and inprisonment, but both of their personalities seemed to me kind of too idyllic or even dishonest from the very beginning

This made me realise, the neighbor had a simmilar style like the woman in the photo, she could look suspicious as a mistres too...still Yuri would make the plot more dramatic, also both her and husband seemed off from the very beggining. Well whatever, I hope the show starts to focus more on Eun Woo´s story :D

Especially if an older woman is so freaking lucky to catch such a pretty boy :D:D:D It´s like no one really cares when a handsome charismatic rich male character stalks a female character, without these qualities, he´ll end up in police station :D

Ahhh, I hoped there will be at least a platonic romance between them :,-( the usual romance is pretty much out of the question due to the severe topic of loosing a child...I still look forward to see Cha Eun Woo in a new character type

Ah, really thanks for info, I´ll check that:) I don´t remember it very much, as I speed-read the manga after the first TV season. The joker card appeared somehow at the end of the manga - when Arisu was fighting inside his head after Queen of Hearts broke him mentally. It was like the combination of final boss/his dad/fear of death/accepting life, a final confirmation that he did not want to stay and became the next king. Maybe, I got a wrong impression, it was kind of fast and unsatisfinig for my taste, but pretty manga-like, so I still considered the story finished.
