Actually, it’s not easy to confess your feelings to a close friend. When two people have relied on each other for years and become like family, admitting romantic feelings can be incredibly difficult because it risks ruining the bond they already share. I say this from personal experience: when I told my friend that I liked him, things changed completely because he didn’t feel the same way, and our dynamic was never the same again.

That’s why situations like this are complicated. Playing “fake” husband and wife made him think he had a chance because of the closeness between them, but reality eventually set in when it became clear that the feelings weren’t mutual and she's in love with someone else. Not all relationships can survive the shift from friendship to romance, which is why many people hesitate to confess their feelings in the first place.

He loves his kid deeply, so it’s understandable that he would draw a firm line. From his perspective, it likely feels as though she’s using his child as a way to get closer to him, even if that was never her intention and she was simply being kind and helpful to the child. When a parent senses anything that might affect their kid, they’re bound to become protective.

He has made his feelings clear from the start, even openly saying that he likes Darim, yet she continues to force her way into his life and ignore those boundaries. At this point, it comes across as lacking self-respect, no matter how pure her intentions may be.

I don’t want them together because the situation has become unnecessarily painful and one-sided. She’s far too kind, genuine, and good-hearted to keep putting herself in a position where she’s not wanted or appreciated. At the same time, he shouldn’t be expected to return her feelings when he doesn’t feel the same way. Affection and relationships shouldn’t be forced.

From Darim’s POV, I understand why she still can’t tell Jiyeok because he’s still her boss, and her entire livelihood depends on the job. She has debts to pay, her mom’s medical bills to cover, and this is her only stable source of income. She also literally has no idea that he’s suffering because of her situation. She’s simply trying to survive.

Meanwhile, the sml is blatantly taking advantage of the circumstances. He got a taste of what it feels like to be her husband, and now he can't let go, even while gradually developing feelings for someone else on the side. His behavior has become frustratingly inconsistent and selfish, making his character harder to sympathize with as the story progresses.
Honestly, I hope this part of the plot wraps up next week so the story can return to the main romance and other parts of the drama.

I think some people watched this drama on 2x or 3x speed or went in with a negative mindset, and then started giving harsh and unfair opinions. But honestly, YR and JP’s relationship was well-developed, and JP's confession scene was far from bad. Yes, it took JP a while to finally confess, but that’s realistic. Not everyone finds it easy to open up, especially when you’re unsure of the other person’s feelings.

Confessing to your best friend is one of the hardest things to do because it can either lead to a beautiful relationship or completely ruin the friendship. That fear alone explains his hesitation.

I think some viewers are simply bitter about what happened with JH or because their SL ship didn’t sail. But that doesn’t justify leaving negative comments and low ratings just to discourage others from watching. Not liking a drama is perfectly fine because everyone is allowed to have their own opinion but intentionally dragging it down is unnecessary and unfair.

I genuinely enjoyed this drama. The storyline was heartfelt, the characters grew in realistic ways. YR and JP’s relationship was genuine, steady, and beautiful. Their bond showed patience and understanding.

Don’t let the low ratings affect your decision. You can watch it with an open mind and judge for yourself

Yes, Love lies starring Han Hyo Joo and Chun Woo hee. It was written by the same writer too

Their breakup is honestly pointless. It’s so unnecessary especially with how frustrating the drama has been, K-drama writers always throw in these ridiculous breakup plots just to stretch the storyline, only for the couple to reunite at the very end of the final episode. It’s the same formula every single time — breakup, montage of sadness, realization, then a last-minute reunion.
Not every love story needs forced drama to be interesting.
Also, it seems the Actress has been playing the same character. Work later drink now, The potato lab and now To the moon. All the characters looks the same to me or maybe it's just the actress.

Thank you

Was ep 11 released?
Couldn't watch it anywhere

Lol, your argument earlier was that she already knew before and still decided to date him, but I clearly corrected that she only found out in ep 11, not before all that happened. Let’s stick to the facts, please.

Now in ep 12, y’all are still expecting them to break up because of that? Seriously? At this point, it’s just reaching. Everyone else in the drama got their closure, their happy endings, and moved on. Maybe it’s time you do the same instead of holding onto bitterness over a fictional storyline. The drama ended and the characters grew, forgave, and moved forward. Why can’t certain audience do that too?

It’s funny how people conveniently ignore all the growth and healing that took place just to keep fueling hate.
At the end, what matters is that YeonRye and JH healed, grew and, still there for eachother, and also chose to move forward. That’s maturity, not weakness.

Instead of clinging to old grudges and “what-ifs,” maybe appreciate how the story wrapped up with everyone finally understanding each other and finding peace. The drama’s message was about empathy, forgiveness, and starting anew, not staying stuck in resentment. So if the characters have moved on, maybe it’s time the audience did too.

Lol, y’all still won’t make us hate YeonRye.
She joined night school because her family couldn’t afford proper education, and she entered the Miss Korea competition not for fame or vanity, but for the scholarship that would allow her to continue her studies. Do you really think that was easy? If she had the financial means, she wouldn’t have been working in a salon just to get by instead of pursuing college. It’s honestly ridiculous how people keep nitpicking every little thing just to hate on YeonRye, ignoring the fact that she was simply doing what she could to survive and build a better life.

Let’s not forget — JH could’ve been arrested if YeonRye hadn’t told her to escape. She even risked her own safety by using the manager’s embezzlement frauds to guilt-trip him into backing off. That wasn’t selfish — that was courage, loyalty, and quick thinking. Both friends sacrificed and protects eachother, even when it costs them.

And the irony is, YeonRye didn’t even know JH had rejected JP because of her until that rainy night. Also, anyone on the outside would’ve assumed JH was living a comfortable life, being the daughter of a chaebol mother. It wasn’t until YeonRye witnessed her getting slapped by her mother that she truly understood the pain JH had been hiding. That was the moment she realized that JH’s “perfect life” was anything but. How could YeonRye have known any of that when JH never opened up to her in the first place? People are so quick to judge without understanding the full picture.
What frustrates me is how easily people villainize YeonRye. She isn’t perfect, but she’s real.

The drama showed us that the characters are not flawless and made imperfect choices.
So instead of hating her, maybe take a moment to understand her story

No she didn't, JH revealed it to her in ep 11 when she was crashing out in the rain.
Are you even watching the drama?
YR never knew she rejected him because of her

Nah, I can’t imagine the amount of hate YR would’ve received if she had actually won. JH deserved to win since it has always been her dream.
In the end, though, everything worked out nicely. It seems JH gave YR the scholarship grant for her education, which was the main reason YR decided to compete in the first place. They all supported and cared for one another in their own ways, showing real growth, maturity, and a deeper understanding of friendship by the end.
The drama ended pretty well tbh

You said it all

Well, she didn't know she rejected him because of her...And they never dated

Even though I expected SC and JB to end up together, I definitely didn’t see their wedding coming. It felt a bit random, but honestly, it was cute and heartwarming in its own way.

The sudden, last-minute “character development” for JH’s brother was also unexpected. I’m not even sure it qualifies as proper development, but at least it helped wrap up his storyline neatly.
Despite the rushed parts, the ending still felt satisfying, and I genuinely loved how each character found their own version of a happy ending.

I really hope future viewers won’t let the low ratings stop them from watching this drama. It’s truly underrated — the emotional growth, the themes of love and friendship, and the chemistry among the cast made it such a beautiful journey from start to finish. The pacing might test your patience at times, but in the end, it’s absolutely worth it.

I’ll admit, I got frustrated while watching weekly, but I doubt I would’ve felt the same if I had binged it all at once. So to future viewers, you’re lucky to experience it in one smooth run without the agonizing wait or suspense!

Until the next drama — goodbye, A Hundred Memories. You were truly a memorable and heartfelt ride, one I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

JH shouldn’t have blamed YR. Still, I understand why she did that. It was because she’s hurting, and I know she didn’t truly mean those harsh words she said to YR. She’s just miserable and unhappy, while YR seems content, happy and in a relationship with JP, the same guy she loves. It’s giving You and everything else flashbacks all over again. That mix of pain, jealousy, and unresolved emotions.

Honestly, the hate YR is getting is ridiculous. She’s done nothing wrong. She’s always been kind and a great friend, yet people are acting like she stole someone’s happiness when, in reality, JH’s pain comes from her own inability to move on and also her challenges which includes her mom.

And don’t even get me started on the writer’s decision to make YR compete in Miss Korea. That was such a strange choice. It feels unnecessary and out of character. I wish YR had been given a different path, like getting the opportunity to go to college and finally become a teacher, which has always been her dream. Miss Korea was JH’s passion, not hers. They could’ve easily shown both girls achieving their dreams in different ways. JH pursuing Miss Korea and healing through her bond with YR’s brother, while YR focuses on education and her relationship with JP. That would have been a much more balanced and satisfying storyline.

Now, with only one ep left, there’s so much still unresolved. The love triangle, the Miss Korea competition, the ex- manager and JH’s brother coming to harm, JH’s emotional closure with JP, and finally, the friendship between the girls that needs mending. It’s hard to imagine how one ep can do justice to all these.

At this point, I just hope the ending gives both JH and YR peace through growth, healing, and finally letting go of the past.
I just can't wait to delete and get this drama off my mind tbh

Honestly, the main couples just weren’t that interesting, and it always felt like the fl settled for the ml rather than genuinely falling in love with him. She kept insisting that she only saw him as a friend, only to suddenly change her mind toward the end. I get that it’s not easy to develop romantic feelings for someone you’ve always considered a friend, but their relationship didn’t feel organic. It lacked emotional buildup and genuine chemistry. It almost came off like they got together out of comfort or familiarity, not love.

If we’re being honest, the second leads were far more engaging. Their chemistry felt real and their story had better pacing. If it weren’t for the fact that the main leads were more popular at the time, I think the second leads easily could have carried the show as the main couple. Their storyline was more engaging, more chemistry, and they had more emotional development compared to the main pair. The second leads actually carried most of the interest in the show for me.

And then there’s Rosa, who was one of the most frustrating characters. I was really hoping she’d get exposed in the end. The camera even focused on the mic, hinting at a major reveal—but then nothing happened!
It honestly felt like the writers either cut that scene or changed it last minute, which was such a disappointment.

I still don’t understand people like Rosa—sabotaging someone else’s relationship just because they want the guy for themselves. It’s petty, manipulative, and shows zero self-respect. Doing everything to be someone’s backup option is pathetic

😂😂

I think the correlation the person meant was that many viewers wanted her to end up with the sml just like start up.

I literally said hating
