Quick question for those that have seen the latest episode. Does the ML's ex still have feelings for him? I'm so used to seeing crazy ex's on K-Dramas as of late.lol
alot more! are you sure?action speaks louder, the female lead had done more than his biological parents from his…
I don't doubt that the FL cares for the ML as a good friend. However, we haven't really seen anything to indicate that she has any romantic feelings for him. Also, let's not forget that the ML has loved her for many years. The ML could care less for his ex, while the FL still loves her ex. That's a pretty huge gap in feelings if you ask me. Frankly, I have yet to see this show live up to its romantic comedy label.
Here's to hoping that we get some much needed development for the FL's POV this weekend. The show is now at its halfway mark. To be honest, I kind of feel bad and emphasize more with the ML. Even if the FL ends up dating the ML later on, it's pretty clear that their relationship will always be one-sided with the ML loving the FL a lot more.
If this show follows the normal K-Drama trope, the FL will be offered another chance at her old company with better benefits and it'll be revealed that her ex never cheated on her and wants her back. The FL will then make a very last minute choice in the last episode to be with the ML because.... of a sudden montage of wholesome memories. The end.lol
I know some are hating on SH for the way he's behaving, but I kinda get him. He had feelings for her for so many…
I wholeheartedly agree with this. Honestly, if it wasn't for the main cast, I probably wouldn't give this show much attention at all. I've seen way too many dramas were one of the main leads spends a majority of it in a one-sided romance and where their efforts isn't truly rewarded at the very end. I'm actually digging the second ML and FL more than the first ones, including their budding romance.
Oh they are definitely hinting she already has feelings. It is entirely possible for her to have feelings for…
Wouldn't it be a crazy twist if the FL's ex didn't really cheat on her and that it was revealed to be one big misunderstanding? If the ex is introduced as a genuine good person. much like the ML's ex, then it could make this whole situation even more complicated.
The show will be halfway done by the end of next week. Let's hope there's some actual development between the two leads. Fortunately for fans, they can also root for thr second leads if the show drops the ball with the first couple.
Oh they are definitely hinting she already has feelings. It is entirely possible for her to have feelings for…
Not sure if that makes things better or worse.lol Personally, I loathe any scenarios where a person harbors romantic feelings for more than one person at the same time and can't make up their mind on who to love.
Episode 5 clearly showed hints of her jealousy and heart flutter for the ML, so personally I think there are hints…
Perhaps. It's one thing to keep audiences on edge, but only when executed correctly. Like you said, it's really coming off as very one-sided right now. Speaking from my own experiences, I have seen several friends in the same position where the one with the feelings mistook the other's affection as non-platonic love.
Imho, the show really needs to convince folks that this isn’t a one-sided love story.
But maybe this means they'll actually develop the romance over the full 16 episodes rather than having them date…
We'll need to see how things play out with the FL's ex. One of my friends told me that she's afraid about the ML coming off like a rebound for the FL. Personally, the whole situation feels like something that I would normally see in a cheap/weekend Korean drama (e.g. unnecessarily complicated, one-sided feelings, no proper communication).

Very vague hints. Personally, I don’t think the FL came off looking jealous. It looked more like she wasn't used to seeing the ML with another woman.
Unless they pick up the pace soon, I feel like any happy endings with the main couple will be because the FL's ex was no longer available. The ML has been in love with the FL for many years. The FL just looks at him as a platonic friend.
Judging by everything that I've seen and read, it seems like any romantic feelings that the FL ends up developing for the ML will be rushed and last minute. She's clearly still in love with her ex and doesn’t appear to have any romantic feelings for the ML.
Personally, I am not a fan of pairings where the characters are together mainly due to circumstances and not because of real feelings.
I normally don't watch 'Weekend Dramas' produced by KBS, but my interest was slightly piqued by the show's premise. The first few episodes were somewhat entertaining, but I was quickly reminded of why I don't watch these types of shows.
Like many others have expressed, I can't stand most of the characters on this show (e.g., PDR's Mother, Older Brother, Pil-Seung's Adoptive Mother, Grandmother, and Jin Dan's Mother). What's worse is that these types of characters typically never get properly reprimanded for their terrible behaviors. There are times where I'd like to imagine how some of my favorite Female Leads from other shows (e.g., Lee Ha-Nee from 'One the Woman', Kim Ji-Won from 'Queen of Tears', Jeon Yeo-Bin from 'Vincenzo') would put these insufferable characters in their place.
I don't know if it's intentional but a lot of these KBS Weekend Dramas seem to have the same message where children, even as adults, should always obey their parents no matter how wrong and terrible they are.
I love how one of the main themes for Season 2 is Lee Yeon fixing most of the mistakes that he made while mourning for Ah-Eum (Jo Bo-Ah). From dealing with Japanese demons to repairing his broken relationships with his brother and friends, it makes watching both seasons a complete experience.
Even if we don't end up getting a third season to deal with the original mountain god that's now on the loose, I'd be okay with accepting Season 2's ending for the entire series.
Well I think he ended up going back in time, and ended up changing somethings and at least his wife was still…
Episode 1 (Season 2) showed that Lee Yeon made a deal with Taluipa. In exhange for Lee Rang being reincarnated, Lee Yeon agreed to work for her again and was given back his powers. The only difference is that he's no longer immortal and will die when Ji-Ah dies someday.
Unless they plan on addressing this in Season 3, I feel like there's a major plot hole concerning the time travel aspect of this show.
There's no way that things would have remained the same after Lee Yeon (Present Day) significantly altered the events of 1938. Not only is his past self on good terms with Lee Rang (who also awakened his dormant powers), but he was last seen fighting against Imperial Japan with the other mountain gods.
Given all of the major changes, Lee Yeon should have returned to something similar to the fictional Kingdom of Korea that was shown in Lee Min-Ho's drama (The Eternal Monarch). Plus, I really doubt that Lee Yeon would have to sacrifice his life to save Ji-Ah if his friends were still helping him.
