You don't age that 'much' between early 20 and early 30 especially with the aid of make-up and good light. Not saying you totally wrong either, she didn't budge at all. ^^

No keep waiting, you can binge it if you only wait 48h. Here I am frustrated because I have to wait... Just kidding but you get the idea. ^^

Imagine if it was 1 or 2 episodes/week. :P I'm glad I had just to wait only 1 week to have the ending (48h for the lucky you) like it was painful when Eight Senses or recently Last Twilight were released.

Achi as a character doesn't help to see the 'fire' I would say so I don't know if it's really an issue with their own 'chemistry'. For that I would reserve my judgement when this show is finished because I really hope that Achi will have some character's growth and be more confident about his own feelings. If that the case, we would see some more heavy sparks. Maybe it also help that I don't know them (I didn't see their previous works) so they seem new to me. ^^

I laughed about the Uke comment. :P But to be fair, we now have some less submissive Uke (and less dominant/abusive Seme for that matter) and even Power Uke in the last couple of years. Not that the 'traditional' romance genre (FL & ML) wasn't also like that and it's probably the root of the problem because for some reason to authors (& readers) FL = Uke. But that another debate and it did change. Probably -again- because the 'traditional' (really hate this word but you get the idea) romance shifted from the hopeless FL troop too.

I think the 'Jinta' from Japan reacted overall the same way. My memory is a bit blurry to be totally honest. I just remember feeling the same way when I saw Jinta & Min scenes. But I guess the acting was a bit more awkward in the Japanese version that make it even harder. I don't try to bash J-Drama because I do like them but sometime they stick too much at how it's represented in the original work and it doesn't translate very well in a Live Drama like it would do in an Anime for example.

I will be honest but if my date come at 5 in the morning, I will not be in a good mood for that. xD So far I like the Main couple and Pai & Rock are cute together. For Jinta & Min, it's hard for me. Overall, Cherry Magic is a bit cringe & cheesy but I can deal with that but this couple bring it on another level (it was the same in the J-Drama) especially Jinta. It's still a great show and I guess everyone have different taste because some seems to like them more. :)

It's tagged as a Shonen-Ai so it's most likely to stay a mystery for all of us.

it's more detailed in the webtoon because he is kind of 'aware' that something wrong with how YW react to him when he reach the cap of 1 fondness (lot of inner monologue cannot be well transcribed).

But he also have another concern about being loved by YW. He know that when YW is in love it's deep, like REALLY deep (he was described as such in the novel he read) + the fact he is quite uncertain about his future in this 'world' worry him about this whole situation. So even if it isn't that obvious in this adaptation, I think those 'confusing faces' was a way to translate this.

But probably in episode 5 will have the most anticipated scene I wanted to see that kind of related to those issues.

I didn't targeted you especially, you were just the most recent post that talked about it and voiced my own opinion. And to be totally honest, a debate isn't for 'converting' the opposite side to his own opinion (it's even more unlikely on internet) but to rally the one that don't have their opinion on the matter yet.

Not that it have really a impact here but I still wanted to talk about it. :)

It was a genuine question and not my judgemental opinion. Like I said I don't know you and I tried to be cautious 'with my grain of salt' but I guess it wasn't clear enough. I'm sorry if I offended you. This remark was more targeted to people I do know and had those reactions when they saw that ending and I wondered myself if it was also the case for the people here that seem truly upset by the ending.

But in my opinion you took too far the message in the ending. They didn't say you need to be normal to be happy, satisfied and content in life. Day was truly happy before that. Did the surgery made him even more happy ? Well yeah. Like Day & Mhok were happy even before they reunited but you wouldn't say the message here is 'You need to be in love & in couple to be truly happy." Well, I wouldn't see like that.

I would have be agree with you IF the surgery made him be able to have a job, getting back with Mhok or generally solved every problem in his life but it wasn't the case here. You can say you don't like this ending -it's totally fine & fair- but saying it's wrong and even make lesser the beautiful message that this show give us isn't right to me.

Didn't you forget High school bullying ? Every time they are in a High school setting, you can be 100% sure that they will be some instance of bullying one way or another. They even have whole show dedicated on this concept. To some extend, you also have the bullying in work environment even if it isn't systematic.

I'm not really aware of how it's truly is in SK but I do hope it isn't THAT bad.

I'm pretty sure they portrayed Day being blind as a message of hope like you said. His life after the 3 years skip was all you described. He was happy, had a fulfilling job and great people in this life. He even get back to his ex lover while still being blind and they were beaming with happiness. The message here was clearly "You can still be normal & happy even if you are blind".

After that, him recovering his sight in the last few minute was a bit clumsy but they wanted the 'fairy tales' ending. Don't get me wrong, blind peoples can live their normal life BUT if you said to most of them they could get back their sight (or any other 'handicap') they will be really glad to have that chance. It's another message of hope, a different one, but you can deny that some miracle still happen. Why don't you like this message ? I don't see how this ending make the previous one lesser or even non-existent for some peoples.

Take what I'm saying next with a grain of salt because in the end I don't really know you but aren't you mostly upset because the ending wasn't beautifully tragic ? Like I get it, it have it's own charm to it and myself I wouldn't have mind a more 'realistic' ending but having a 'fairy tales' one isn't THAT bad.

I wouldn't say that him getting back his sight last minute was the best writing out there but not enough to make me disappointed at least.

I dunno about everyone else but it was pretty obvious that he will get back his sight at some point because all he needed was a compatible donor. Maybe the first one was what make you believe that it was over for him but he did say that him rejecting his 'eyes' was really unlucky (like it was he gained a jackpot because it was in the 1% chance to happen).

But I'm glad they didn't give him back his sight before he get back to Mhok. That would be saying that him being blind was the problem.

In the original story it was said that YW was (madly) in love with the FL but she ended up with the ML instead (it's their story in the end :P). YW was just a pitiful side character who his life was hardship on another hardship, his hopes were always crushed & peoples around him screws him over even in the last chapter (of the novel).

I also did read the webtoon and it's like here. You see him being kind of obsess in MH without knowing why exactly he act like that. Is it a crush ? Maybe. Even the latest released chapter we have a scene where MH say 'Do you like me or something ?' to SW. But SW is more interest at how MH would react if he really did like him. So it's still unclear if he have genuine feeling for him or just obsess because MH didn't give him the attention he was seeking in the first place.

The Webtoon's official English release was really recent (like 4-5 weeks ago ?) and it also was a hit when it was released.

Yeah I had the same thought when I was reading the Webtoon and it's even more obvious in it that the Sunbae was greatly inspired by MH when he created YW because in there MH always reminded himself (with flashback) when he saw YW struggle alone. Like they have the exact same background (No parent, Mom abandoned them, Grandma die 'early', difficult High school period, living in poverty, no friend, dislike other and especially themselves). But now that he is 29-year old, he gained some wisdom and can help the 'younger self'.

Jealous of Yeo Woon but it's still unclear if he had 'romantic' feeling for Myung Ha or if he just wanted to be friend. Either way, YW still 'snatched' two (his mom & MH) of his 'people' (in his PoV) .

In most fiction I would say. Book, Game and TV show. All around the world. Most of them use it at some point when they want their story to go a certain way even if it make their characters a bit silly or just stupid. Here, it was really clumsy & obvious. It didn't help that it was the cursed episode 15, K-Drama always do that in this episode. ^^'
