i don't understand something. why in episode 4 it said that in the next ep it would happen something, but then…
This is standard practice with SBS (and perhaps others?). Even worse, sometimes scenes from the trailer at the end of, for instance, Ep. 4 (even-number), don't appear until the 2nd weekend following (for instance, Ep. 7). Some scenes from today's (Ep. 5) trailer will likely not occur until next weekend.
Apparently Choi Woo Shik's favorite line is at the very end of Episode 6. And. . . . I realized that Ep. 6 is tomorrow!😊
"Q. What is Wooshik's favorite line (scene) in Would You Marry Me?
Somin : I feel like that might be too much of a spoiler. The place where the sun was setting… Wooshik : That’s when Woojoo says to Mery… honeyy …It’s from episode 6, the last part."
No. I watched Season 2 (after seeing Lee Ji Hoon in Art of Negotiation) and 95% of the plot/characters was easily understood w/out reference to Season 1. Then I finally watched Season 1 - it provided a bit more detail/back-story of the characters. At the end of Season 2, it appears they are adding a completely new story arc to Season 3 involving Korean military (corruption?).
loved the noir-ish vibes with the chairman at the start, thought it would be so good. but tbh when he kind of…
I didn't expect them to continue with the noir-ish (great term!) vibes but the descent into a black carnival atmosphere in the small town doesn't provide the right contrast/context for me. This Villainess is Cruella Deville cartoon and townspeople are unrealistically sweet (and I include strawberry man). But the STORY is intriguing and I'm hoping the Chairman is still alive to lay waste upon the two brats. So, I'll keep watching.
I have watched till ep 4 is it interesting to continue or not ?
Format for 12 Episode dramas.
Episodes 1-4: general introduction of characters, plot, puzzles/mysteries Episodes 5-8: Romance (if any) evolves; dig deeper into plot/puzzle Episodes 9-12: Danger, Danger Will Robinson and/or romance break-=up. Wrap-it-up with a nice bow. The End.
You will need to slog through the next few episodes if you care about the characters or the story. [I have not yet watched 5/6 - I'm just sayin').
Baek Hye-ji said CLEARLY (!) that she wants $$$$. It was only one scene, but I say forget all this "friend"…
@Abike - thank-you! I always hate when an "innocent" is murdered and I have been worried about that innocent co-worker or the nominally corrupt (but not violent/vicious) board members. As for "madam" - I'm not worried. Again, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
Ditto - I watched it because of Song but I rated it 7.0. Waste of time.
And yet. . . we never learned about Seok-ju's childhood trauma, did we?? Won't forgive the writers/director for that omission. We didn't even see a "last" scene between the two "brothers" did we. So disappointing. Only 27 yrs old when filmed - with seniors in mid '30s to 40. Between his expressive eyes and soft smiles, he held his own with the "sunbaes". 😊

@Abike, I have not yet watched Ep. 7 because someone posted below that someone was "murdered". I just want to know if that happened and who it might have been because before I watch, I want to know in advance, especially if it was an innocent. Can you help? Please put in spoiler box. TIA. 💕
I really appreciate writers who create a second couple instead of adding second leads with their nonsense unrequited…
Well. . . . .2FL is suffering unrequited "crush" at the moment (dramas have to have SOME plot and tension), but for once, writer is telegraphing that she will eventually change her focus.

lol, but I rated it 2⭐ and only because my baby Seo Ji-hoon was given the opportunity to steal so many scenes, I lost count. He was the reason I even considered a "melodrama" (I was warned) but honestly thought the first 8 episodes were pretty well done. As I said, I didn't realize I signed up for "surreal" over "realistic".
Regarding the end: It is NOT REAL. It is Je-yeon's dream or fantasy. Commenter nisaaa noted that the shop was different from all prior scenes (mirror added; flowers gone). Hae may be alive (it takes place one month before the 2 year trial ends) or he may have died. From the director:
"The final scene—Je-yeon gazing at Hae's 'presence'—is meant to blur life, memory, and dream, leaving viewers to choose. Is it recovery's glow or grief's echo? We wanted that eternal 'here and now' to mirror youth's timeless pull."
So, viewers can choose to believe that Hae is still alive in the USA. Or not. My take - if I had known that this was some sort of surreal novel rather than a drama with a plot, I never would have started.
I think hae died because the last scene maybe hae or jaeyeon's dream. The mirror is not at the shop before that.…
Wow - I think you are correct. If Hae lived, then the viewer is asked to believe that he returned to Korea, didn't tell anyone he was returning and then. . . . instead of immediately running to his beloved girlfriend he goes to his flower shop and begins to putter around? It was UNbelievable.
In the last 4 episodes, rather than writing for a drama (with beginning, middle and end) writer-nim seemed to take pleasure in creating a surreal Kafka-esque novel with it's meandering non-plot and multiple ambiguous conversations.

Mega-fail for me.
