Beautiful drama and heartfelt dialogues . Usually, I don't miss dramas but this drama is different and special. The best rom-com this year and one of my favorites.

Of course, you're right. I know it will all turn out for the better. And he's softhearted, so he'll forgive them. (It will be just like the castle cards.) I'm pretty sure they will stand by his side and won't betray him (I hope so). Still, all this deception... If I were him, I would be so angry.

I like this drama but who else feels sorry for the male lead because they use and manipulate him for money? It makes me upset. I just love his character so much.

I'm still not sure I like the end for the main couple. The whole "let's leave it to fate" or "let's have fate decide for us". It's a bit stupid and I'm not sure how it changes their feelings or their relationship. The change should come from within, not from fate.

And I don't understand why the girl was expelled from school. I understand they're very conservative, but it seems exaggerated. I imagined far worse things from the way they talked about it, but it really wasn't a big deal. Anyway, that's how I feel.

I liked the drama very much, all main characters really grew on me. The stories were touching, especially the older couple. I cried many times during their scenes. This drama taught me not to jump to fast conclusions. Each time, I was surprised by the way the characters were shown.

Happy Ending :)

I miss this drama. I would love a second season... I feel there's much more that can be told.

Actually, it's not him that confused me or made me uncertain. It was pretty obvious that he loved her. She even knew he wanted to confess, but wasn't happy about it. She told CEO Ko she was sure of her feelings but a second later she wanted to confirm it. She really confused me in the last two episodes. That being said, I love this drama a lot. It's just that two last episodes didn't live to the high expectations.

So, I checked it because it kept bugging me and I think she left for 2 months more or less (that was totally unnecessary and out of character, if you ask me). Why I say 2 months? Because when she moved to Ho Rang old house, the date was 2018/01/16. (it was around minute 34).

I do agree with your point. I don't understand her decision to leave and come back like nothing happened. Only in Korean dramas, things like that happen. And only in Korean dramas, there are time jumps that mean nothing. It's actually what I hate most.

Was it really seven months? I thought it was less than that. How you reached to this conclusion? I'm curious about it. The timeline in this drama is a bit weird.

Yes!

I'm so greedy.... I want more episodes!

I love the main couple so much but at the same time I don't understand them. Why they are making every single thing so comlicated? And I liked the contract too. Why did they have to break it? It was their choice to sign it and they should have dealt with it differently. It's still a marriage no matter what.

Well, the last scene made me feel really depressed. I don't have the courage to even watch it properly with subtitles. Just when he was going to confess and wanted to be happy again. Se Hee, it's time to prove your love. Don't let her go.

Now, naturally, I worry about the ending. What if it will be open ending? Or the leads will meet again after few months and decide to start over? I have to say I don't like the idea, because I feel it will waste everything that was built between them in those 16 episodes.

They probably will, let us hope this experience will make them better partners to each other.

I want to ship Ji Ho and Jung Min but I can't. It's way too weird that the ex and current wife are friends, especially considering the circumstances.

Agree with you. It's not only her fault they broke up, it's partly his fault too. Now, that they broke up, should she drown in sorrow? She should move on. That's the right thing to do.

What I meant was, the scene was so dreamy... like she's perfect. It's like they want to show her as a nice and sweet person. She even helped her put the earring. It's a bit too much. Who does something like that to a person they don't know?
