Thanks. I knew there was a delay, just didn't realize how long. I might return to Kokowa after that 2 week sabbatical this fall - if I'm still interested. 😊

I just started watching over the last few days.

Can someone explain the delay to Viki? I thought it was 3 days, but it's over a week? Not sure when I'll be able to watch 9/10 but it looks like it won't be until after 11/12 are broadcast?

Oh, I hope so! Seo Hyeun Woo is one of my favorites, but I hate Hulu (always delayed in the US)

Chaebols didn't replace the ghosts. They were around in the end, some of them in a very significant/meaningful way in the overall story. I fact, I teared up - something pretty rare for me.

However, the chaebol story introduced in the first episodes did become more prominent in the last 1/3 of the drama.

He was also the ghost when Gang-uk was in the elevator - maybe testing out Gang-uk's resolve/commitment for Yeo-ri? Also warned Gang-uk when Yeo-ri was kidnapped. I wish the writers had explained that a bit more instead of relying on viewers to look deeper than the surface words.

Lots of people do complicated ratings based on a variety of factors, but I'm like you. Did I enjoy the entire series? Did I look forward to the next episodes? Did I actually finish it (so many dropped rom-coms in 2026 for me)? Maybe it was the actors, maybe the mystery, maybe the way the dots were all connected and justice was served? Regardless, it's 10⭐ for me, even with a few warts here and there.

I'm going to miss this chaotic, loving couple. ❤️❤️

I thought it was clear because of what the shaman said.

After the balcony kiss, she let Gang-uk get physically close - hugs, kisses, touching shoulder, etc. - he was pouring warmth into her. So, the ghosts were no longer attracted to her cold hands.

But they were still there - witness the golf ball falling off the shelf.

I'm with you, but I would have been happier with one less sub-plot, namely Park Seung-jae. I understand HOW they used him (a critical link) but I would have preferred a different method/person. All of the sub-plots came together at the finale for a cohesive, understandable (no mumbo-jumbo magic wands) resolution.

10⭐from me, if for no other reason that I enjoyed the entire ride. small warts and all.

Jihwan was there. He was watching over yeo-ri and warned Gang-uk when she was kidnapped.

They do run, especially if young. Many examples of marathon/half marathon runners. But they are supposed to drink alcohol moderately.

It’s the only rom-com in 2026 that I watched to the very end. All of the sub-plots (including the nefarious cousins) were resolved, bad guy got justice. Great supporting friends/helpers.

I don’t have to see a kiss just for the sake of a kiss - it’s a given that they’ve shared lots of kisses and more off screen - but I would have loved to see a wedding photo on a shelf (like Crazy Love) or last scene with a toddler walking with them at Sienna(Queen of tears).

I’ve never seen YSJ in a drama before, but first thing that me sit up and take notice (when it finally showed up in Ep 3 I think) was his beautiful, shy smile

We were told he was born with a weak heart and they also showed a scene (right before the transplant) where they had to use shock paddles to revive him.

I miss the chaotic couple. But I'm glad they are connecting the dots and moving quickly through the chaebol/evil 2ML subplots quickly (that is, Yeo-ri and Gang-uk are counterpunching and winning) rather than stringing those out for several more episodes.

Never liked the "fated" love part, but Koreans like it and this is a kdrama.

Sneak Peek for Episode 12. "Please help Yeori come back" Kang-wook's desperate feelings confided to Ji-hwan "

I suppose complainers will complain that this is just soooooooo predictable but yes - it is predictable because writer is connecting all of the dots. Ji-hwan will cross over to the afterlife and therefor Yeo-ri's life will be spared. Works for me.

Seems to be 2-part answer. She caused a disturbance in their fates/lifelines.

But the fact that she has shut off all touching/skin-to-skin means that her hands are cold and spirits are attracted to cold.

Doesn't quite explain how this transfers to others but Gang-uk bringing warmth to her physically is why she stopped seeing ghosts. I think.

The writers are consistent.

The other victims were innocent. Seung-jae most definitely was not and he will either burn in hell or not cross over to a peaceful afterlife.

The ghosts disappeared once Gang-uk brought warmth into Yeo-ris life/body with hugs kisses and touches - which she allowed (although not hand-to-hand) after the engagement party.

iirc, she said that the end of 10 and 11 were not "positive" (can't recall the translation - "negative vibes??") but that 12 was a happy episode. Sorry you are giving up.
