I love slow burn too ! I like that they're showing us little scraps of them going through their feelings. I think…
Writer-nim has been slowly peeling back the layers of what happened 15(highschool) - 10(college) - 5 (Seok-ryu's 1 year sabbatical) years ago. Much more to be revealed. I enjoy it as well. π
Episode 6 title is: "Your First". Mild spoiler/preview below.
Ahhhhh - I thought the title/end revisions were actual/close translations. And. . . as I visit the tvn site w/Korean text, it doesn't show the Korean Hangul (κ³ λ°±) at the beginning of the drama but rather the English words "Go Back". For all other episodes, the titles are presented in Hangul.
Another strange piece of trivia. κ·Έλ μ΄ν is phonetic sound of the word "Grape" and translated as such in news articles, but for some reason, Netflix intentionally translates it as "Greip". Maybe to avoid a lawsuit with Apple??
Yeah my dreams of her secretly liking him shattered because of Brian π I don't think she liked him or even…
well, we will eventually find out, but I think there is a reason (involving her feelings for Seung-hyo) that she "ran away" to the USA after only one year at Korean University. Just as ML's ex may have been a re-bound after he found out about Brian, perhaps Brian was her method of burying her feelings???
Everyone is agreeing that seok ryo might also loved /liked him back but I'm the only one who can't see it ? I…
Just because the writer isn't "showing it" in the same manner as Seung-hyo doesn't mean there aren't a handful of hints in the time-line or even the unknown known w/r/t the time capsule. Lots more to be revealed.
Okay, so am I the only one who feels like that even Seok ryu has been in love with Seoung hyu all along? Like…
I think you are right.
We still don't know why Seok-ryu left the Korean University after only 1 year - I've wondered if it is because she knew she had feeling for him but something happened to scare her away. Maybe same fear that he had - afraid to lose their friendship. Honestly, I think that's where their stories (their "black history") are headed - and Mo Eum's role as the pathfinder becomes clearer.
The best part about this is it's a slice of life with the romcom elements , both of the leads get to know themselves…
Netflix calls it: "Charming, Feel-Good, Romantic". From the beginning, the writer has been slowly peeling away the various layers of everyone's story/history and it's working for me.
Definitely not a roller-coaster drama like Queen of Tears.
Episode 6 title is: "Your First". Mild spoiler/preview below.
[Your First] Seunghyo finds a letter in a time capsule by Pomegranate! He dismisses it as a joke, but the relationship between the two becomes awkward.
Pomegranate [Seok-ryu],who enrolled in a cooking school in search of her dream, feels sad about Seung-hyo's indifference.
On the other hand, Mi-sook's radar detects the suspicious behavior of her husband, Geun-sik, anda crisis looms over the Bae family!
I remember read that this drama air earlier than it should be to replace Resident Playbook air time, because of…
Hmm. . .might be. regardles, I'm just happy that Jung So Min is not only back on my screen, but she's in a drama where the script/director/characters are A+. π
omg i totally missed your first paragraph because i was going to ask if you were new to kdramas! but then i realized…
I'm fairly new (2.5 years), but I have read old articles as well as new explaining kdrama world. I know the so-called weekenders or daily "soaps" are filming right up to the end, but once I began to watch, things were wrapped up before first episode. Maybe they are trying to "scare" viewers with the "we changed the script" nonsense. No way - happy ending is mandated if they want high ratings, thumbs up on Netflix, etc. ππ
Okay, this is a bit of surprise. They are STILL filming. I admit. . I was rather surprised that filming apparently didn't begin until March but did not realize they were still shooting - that wasn't unusual 10 years ago, but pretty rare in recent years.
"The production team plans to finish all filming in early September, and the actors will finish filming sequentially according to their length and schedule."
Well, dang - i will be in Korea late September - too late to possibly accidentally find the final location shoots π€£π€£π€£π€£ Not that I thought that was possible because I thought the drama finished filming long ago. Happily, I will be able to watch a couple of episodes when they are.
As predicted/previously spoiled, Seung-hyo's ex show up. But. . . . Do Not Cry. This helps fill in 1 or 2 missing gaps (there are too many to count) in their story.
2 
But. . . maybe they will surprise us.Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Reminds me of "Playful Kiss" - but then, that's the only "highschool" romance I have ever watched but became a forever fan of Jung So Min.

It's possible. So much we still don't know. π

Maybe Seok-ryu's ex shows up and she grabs ML for a fake smooch? π€£π€£π€£π€£
Will be interesting to see how they revise it at the end.
Definitely not a roller-coaster drama like Queen of Tears.
