Will watch this as a Valentinesday binge JUST because they drop all eps on Valentines day! ππ To be honest I had other dramas as priority but they'll take a while to release the eps....
Oh I didn't even realize this was going to be set in mid 20th century π . I thought it would be modern drama in 2020s, must've missed the info before somehow π
This actually makes makes me excited for the drama, I love 20th century historicals π This combined with the fact that still will apapently be set during different time periods 50s and onwards to 80s? Much more exciting than just most dramas set ina. few motnh/few yera peiod max!
A biological/coming of age approach is what I love! π
I truly can't understand why it's so popular in S.korea. What do they find good in it? (except the wonderful FL)
Unlike MDListers who are allergic to melodrama genre, south koreans tend to actually like the great Melodrama genre, they are wiser that way with more developed taste than just silly romcoms :)
I'm guessing it's true (how can what clearly looks like a marriage proposal be just a birthday lol hilarious claim), but they're keeping it Lowkey because of the saesang fans.
Ps. The Agency CEO is a vet actor (So Ji Sub), and would understand very well about actor/idol's privacy need. They're just trying to keep it lowkey.
Calm down, don't spread around their photo and leave them be. π
My takeaway from this is when Nam Ya Jeon met her hater for the first time, she already uncousnciously liked him ha ha ππ (well he is handsome can't blame her) , that's why she projected him as leading man in her dream.
Meanwhile No Gain, No Love will be rewaching material for the supercute 2nd Lead Pairing, but this meh spinoff short, I find to desire to rewatch.
Eh, I didn't really like it. Found it just unfullfing to watch, when FL Nam Ya Jeon will already have a cute devoted boyfriend soon, why ship her with an imaginary person?
7/10 Would've worked much better as just a Romance between Leads in her webnovel, no need to make FL travel into the novel & try to force viewers to ship them when Nam Ya Jeon already had Bok Guy Hyun and Seo Yeon Seo has Kang Ha Jun.
I'd rather they'd given us a continuing of Nam Ya Jeon and Bok Guy Hyun as GF & BF and their married life.
But good that it's official. Looking forward to it, I've watched and become a fan of the original while I was waiting for this remake and even Australia made a remake inbetween while this K version was just in discussion/pre-preduction for long π
Love him, HATE the misogynist noir genre. Must skip drama for me, even despite SJS oppa there ...
What did people really compare it w Hotel del Luna!?! π π€¦ββοΈ
They clearly failed to understand AND somehow see Groomer-type relationships as normal and ok π
Indeed The Luna couple was like same age in behavior.
Just like all Vampire-Human stories/Vampromance books ever written, the leads remain like same ages despite the actual number.
And about Goblin leads, you were generious with that "at least 20 years older", since not only a high schooler but she acted childish like a 10 year old π π π€¦ββοΈ Even later on when she's like 25 and they actually hook up, it's still creepy because it still like a Groomed a high schooler, who was almost like a 10 year old. π π€¦ββοΈ
And YEAH The CHEMISTRY. NONE between the Goblin Leads. π π π I remember watching the Goblin trailer before it all, then noticed the lack of chemistry but wa sall "oh well, it's just a trailer, let's not worry", while everyone else was all excited after trailer π Still today, I think of the Goblin Leads as the Ultimate LOWEST Chemistry ever Pairing LOL π π
Have you watched The Trunk with Gong Yoo & Seo Hyun Jin? Great chem. Their cuteness their hugs. Hot kisses. The scene where he got close and asked if s*x part of the marriage contract had me all goosebumps! π₯π
It seems it's impossible for Seo Hyujin to NOT have amazing have chemistry with absolutely ALL of her costars ha ha She could be paired with a Wall and they'd be the Hottest Chemistry OTP too! π€£π€£
I'm on episode 7, and I'm still so bored, I keep watching hoping that it would get better but nope! I especially…
Oh no! I hope I won't end up disliking the drama or finding it only average!
Han Hyo Joo is one of my biases, just wasn't in the mood for action drama when this was airing. Well, at least her last drama Happiness was great and she has upcoming promising Food drama.
Like you, I'll continue watching...Maybe will do some crafts/draw at the same time to pass through the eps.
Hopefully it's just a slow start like The Fiery Priest 1 and it actually gets really good...
Ha Yoon Kyung as a Guide & Shop owner sounds fun too!
CASTING DIRECTOR YOU DESERVE A RAISE!! π

Putting this one into Plan To Watch After all!
π π€¦ββοΈ
TvN (and to an extent also MBC) is outdoing them with more interesting dramas coming up π
S1 was great but not the greatest thing ever like all the overhypers think π€¦ββοΈ

Can we expect actors in 20s or will it be 30s or will it be 40s casted?
I hope there's casting news soon & that they'll cast 2 great leads together!
