Started out with so much promise and was amazing until about ep 10 when it just went...nowhere. The FL and ML just didn't have the chemistry and were not given enough moments to develop. They really missed the opportunity to show ML become more than what his father tried to define him as and they never delved into FL's background or what seemed to be her emotional hang-ups. The latter part of the drama really became more about SML and SFL, the SML especially shined. The lines delivered by SML I swear were written by someone entirely different than the rest of the script. The lines were beautiful and touching and the actor did such a great job. The conclusion of course did 2nd leads disservice as well. I was truly looking forward to this and it was epically so much more disappointing for that reason. Alas, may Im Siwan find a better script in the near future and hopefully we'll see Lee Young Hwa in a ML role as he's simply adorable!
Need a tiny spoiler. Around what ep does ML figure out comic book store girl = FL in makeup? When does FL realize ML is the one who "saved" her at the rooftop? TIA
Honestly, I loved it! It was just purely romantic giddiness. There was no pushy ML that mean to the girl and no whining FL who is clueless. ML pursues first and does play games. He truly has her best at heart. The couple communicates when there are problems and they are respectful of each other goals and priorities. Nothing mind blowing happens plot wise. It was a chill watch with no crazy, clingy SLs. In fact, they try to spice it up and it ends up a tad awkward. This show was still top notch though simple due to the chemistry being off the hook! FL didn't shy away during the intimate scenes and we know Daddi Tang does some passionate kisses. DT's acting in this was by far one of his best in a rom-com. The way he breaks his voice during emotional scenes or whispers during sensual scenes. Good stuff! It was my little happiness the last few days and I'll miss it. Withdrawal symptoms---
I love this...someone out there understands me T-T. I have watched almost 300 dramas and I have only dropped 14 and I can surely tell you there were many more drop-worthy dramas amongst those 300. On top of that, I know two of the dropped dramas were simply because my heart could not take the sadness I felt because I knew they were not happy endings, which I found out was the case with only a few episodes left in the drama. The other 12? Oh, I keep going back to revisit them because it bothers me to see them sitting there. LOL. Maybe I'll FFWD as you suggested and get it over with - something I unfortunately do far too often because I have not patience for that clingy SL or cringey MIL-to-be.
Again, thanks for writing this...I'm not alone in my craziness.
It started out nice and there was set up for hilarity with the plot, but it just kind of fell apart by the middle. I felt like ML was shown as a smart person but then he just starts acting like a newbie in the workplace, starts losing his cool repeatedly and not doing anything of importance. There was no driving character and most of them started annoyed me. I stopped rooting for ML even though it was PHJ and there was very little laughter. I don't even know the message I was supposed to walk away with. Disappointed.
I think she makes the best romance with Xique her maid that was well developed lol Im on episode 20 right now…
Omgeeee. Yes, I can't with Irene. She acts too cutesy, immature so she comes off as a sibling rather than a romantic pairing, which is especially sad since I am also nit watch that drama - I think it's it's called Your Taste. She was good in Professional Single though.
Well, the FL isn't the ONLY person to blame. Her gege is also partly at fault for being TOO nice & sweet towards…
I honestly don't know why you were getting this angry and protective of the FL yourself. There is absolutely no reason to attack me here, even if it were me not liking the FICTIONAL FL character. I understand you are passionate, but in order to protect a character in a drama, you are attacking a real person. Please keep that in perspective. There is no reason for you to Caplock and scream at me.
You mentioning the factor of being an adult, I'm going to take it that you are one and the fact that you are commenting on relationships, I'm going to take it that you have been in one. Unless there is some physical attraction and there is physical flirting, I would never blame anyone for being close to someone. You essentially acknowledge my thought of allowing men to simply be nice and then twisting it into "but not too nice." What is the boundary that you're setting? What is this line that guys or girls are supposed to see? I have watch dramas where the guy is hanging all over the girl with a lot of physical affection and even drinking and flirting with her. Then he ends up turning her down. This was not the case here. He was simply treating her like a best friend and little sister.
I will give her the fact that he was her first crush and so she probably has not matured enough to understand what physical attraction is. She probably felt happy being around him but didn't realize there was nothing beyond platonic. If you want to Discuss further relationships and attraction, Please feel free to DM me. Let's not clog up the comment section here. Just understand that this is a fictional character and I am sharing my opinion and I'm not attacking anybody else, including the writer for you. I understand your passion and I am glad you like the female lead so much. But please don't try to come at me because of your conclusions of how much I dislike her

I have many guy friends and the ones my age are pretty shit or meh but the ones older than me have always been super loving and caring. I never took it as romantic and I know the one time I was attracted to one of these friends, I could tell he didn’t have feelings beyond being platonic. You can tell when there’s that electricity between two ppl. Let’s not make it a norm that guys cannot be nice to girls or else they’ll be mistaken as having attraction.
Did you finish the show? Is so, how was it? I can’t decide whether to start it
Definitely frustrating when antagonist are completely forgiven. I'll put in the back burner if there is ever a moment where I have nothing to watch. Thank you :)
Episode 12 - the employees are really starting to annoy me, especially Go Han (or w/e). Do they seriously aspect a supervisor that is perfect and deals with all their selfishness? Also shredder ish, people have personal feelings thoughts. Why pull out dirty laundry instead reflecting on the basis of what was written there. This drama is going to hell and I'm hanging on solely for PHJ. Ugh.
