Isn't this ahn hyo seop's first proper romcom since business proposal? Excited!!

Ohh yaa i actually saw a post about sujin somewhere cant remember where tbh and it said she was in a one sided love with hyeokchan so that can explain her reaction but the whole mystery surrounding the two chans and sujin is just stretched too long and nothing makes sense anymore...they led us to believe the bf was cheating but then he also acts possessive of haran coz of how he confronted seonu chan but then why did he hide haran from sujin and why was he ignoring haran's calls?? Lmao this makes no sense 😅

Someone said the lighter the bf was using to smoke must've set off the yellow container of hazardous material which when seonu chan opens the lab door set off an explosion which kills the bf who was still inside. And tbh this is making the most sense now. Coz the bf was seen smoking in the lab when he was confronting chan about haran and the hazardous container probably got tampered with and then chan and sujin probably left at some point and chan ran back to inform the bf about haran visiting and boom the explosion happens...pretty simple theory after sll that buildup but it's seeming like the only logical possibility to me now but i also hate it coz again haran is being dragged into a situation she doesn't even know about 🤦‍♀️😭

Exactly it feels like they wrote the script for like 20 eps coz theres just that many characters and plot points and every new episode they keep adding new ones! Ridiculous atp 🤣😅

Yess same here mr coo's reasoning is pretty lame ngl...i get that he feels like he could've helped coz he was some kind of adopted son to the song parents but ya i felt really bad for hayeong. Like seeing her cry was so relatable for me lol...i actually didn't mind his rejection tho coz tbh at least he was being honest and not leading her on compared to u know who 😅🤣 But ya i feel like thanks to him we will get to see a more fierce hayeong in the next episode, at least the preview looked like that...never seen her look that serious in the whole show 😅

Yess omg sameeee...the teen couple were so cute ...even i got emotional seeing hadam look all tender and teary eyed and so lovingly at her bf after the surgery like it was so innocent and sweet.

Actually thats a big strength for this show. All the main characters are so loving and innocent at their core. It makes it easy to root for them uk

I wish this was at least 16 eps...i cant believe it's ending the week after this 😭

I agree and i actually was meaning to mention it but forgot. I hated that they focused on the mom's redemption arc meanwhile the woman who raised sua didn’t even get a mention from sua. Like she immediately thinks of meeting her mom but not once does she mention wanting to meet her grandma who raised her. It felt really strange how the story was trying to prioritize a character who willingly left a child's life instead of the one who stayed. Also the redemption wasnt the problem. The problem is how hapless and helpless they made the mom seem after she did such an unforgivable act. There were a million ways she could've still showed up for her kid but the drama almost manipulates u into sympathizing with the mom by showing her crying etc years after she abandoned sua looking so indifferent back then. So that disconnect is very evident and i personally didnt feel like the redemption arc worked because it felt less about sua and more about turning a gray character completely white if that makes sense

Also just wish kdrama writers didn't give awful parents such kind redemption arcs every single time. Especially when they made Sua such a sweetheart. It feels like abandoning a young child "to protect them" has become some kind of accepted norm in kdramas. Idk if this reflects something culturally (if so forgive my ignorance) but regardless, having her donate her corneas to her mom felt like overkill. I just keep thinking back to her mom's face and how indifferent and almost cold she looked when she abandoned a crying 1 year old Sua at her mom's place, not even bothering to drop her at her mom's door. What if she went into the wrong apartment? What if she was taken in by some dangerous people? Then reaching out to her when she became successful and was all over the TV? Completely unacceptable behavior from a mom that they're then trying to paint as oh so loving and caring ugh...

But ig the dead have that kind of openmindedness and ability to forgive but it really didn't land the way they hoped when they made the mom look like some hapless poor thing...idk that felt very wrong to watch...

This is so unexpectedly fun! So far the ghosts have been good people and the cases feel like game level 1 in terms of difficulty but i wonder what will happen if or when he starts meeting more "evil" or complex spirits and getting possessed by them? So far he seems to not have the choice to choose who he helps or even who possesses his body. So this will be really interesting if they take it there. But since this is overall a very lighthearted watch and a comedy on top of that, maybe they'll just keep all the ghosts good...

Still better than the garbage coming out of hollywood

Ya because everbody is lying to each other :(

Also was the bf trying to two time between haran and the bracelet girl? Coz he hides haran from the bracelet girl but then got upset with chan for chatting with haran (which he made him do so that makes no sense anyway?) in that flashback there? Or was he nit cheating with the bracelet girl at all? Then what was their relationship?

Hayeong had me crying in this episode 😭 the way she smiles through her obvious hurt she had me fooled too at the end there until she started crying 😭 mr coo feeling guilty about a accident he couldn't have prevented did sound like the worst possibility of an arc for him but now that i think about it, he did seem like some kind of an adopted son in their family and he obviously feels very indebted to all of them. Tho i hope he realizes soon how loved he already is in the family and how happy he already makes hayeong!

Ugh this episode was really tender with the teen couple as well. Hadam tearing up seeing her bf connected to all those contraptions and draining blood was so adorably tender and sad if that makes sense...

Chan and haran...i dont really know anymore. He's long overdue on telling her the truth. I dont understand how he expects to magically resolve everything soon before he tells her the whole truth like he promised haran at the end there when he's nowhere close to recovering his memories and the bracelet girl shut the door in his face for any possible help...what would've given them bpth agency and the plot better momentum would've been to spill all the beans to haran before starting a relationship with her and solving the mystery together with her. This on the other hand reads like plain idiocy and selfishness dressed as noble sacrifice (tho ofc chae jeong hyeop makes for a supremely handsome yearner *sigh*)

I totally agree!!

Ohh thanks for sharing ur experience! That sounds really rough and im glad it healed for u! The athlete teen's foot looked really bruised too and u r right, it would be really cliche if he couldnt play again, hopefully they dont go there and just treat it like a minor setback...something for the both of them to grow through together ig...

Hahaha that could totally be the case with mr coo tho i think he caught the flu (like what the above commenter said)...but he does seem to be stuck in this push and pull dynamic with hayeong coz anyone can tell he has feelings but for some reason, he can't be with her (from the preview?) I hope it's just a sense of duty and gratitude to the family thats stopping him and not some other convoluted theory...

Ohhh makes sense! He was so dramatic about it at the end there I thought he had acute paralysis or something hence why i commented 😅

And oh yaa mr coo did look like he was coming down with the flu now that u said it...he was coughing in the car with hayeong too...that will be a cool reversal when everyone's helper suddenly needs to acceot help from someone else!

Ohh u r so right i just know they will be alllll over each other when they admit their feelings hahaha it will be the best part of this show 😭😭😭😍

I adore this show for doing the "she fell first" trope complete justice ❤️

I'm totally confused rn after the new episode haha...

Turns out the bracelet girl is a doctor? So she was not going to meet the bf chan at the hospital who i thought might still be alive lol? What even was their relationship atp...since she was also in a hospital gown back then? And now shes a doctor...totally confused

Im honestly starting to worry they have thrown in too many easter eggs and possibilities that they might not even have enough time to answer every single one of them :((

Yaa i get that but its already going to be ep 9 and from the preview dont think chan will be revealing much to haran even then. Im just wondering how on earth they can possibly work through everything with barely 2 to 3 eps left then :(( like that's not enough time at all for haran to deal with the inevitable feelings of betrayal and hurt...unless they bring in the dreaded time skip !!

Istg!! I was rooting for mr coo and hayeon and what was his deal collapsing on her like that? I hope we dont have another sick character... Also the athelete teen bf falling like that?? Why is everyone in this drama sick?? 🙄 i mean atp it's just too many empty clues and too little time to wrap everything up. I saw that theory about the coo and tbh it seems very likely since he keeps apologizing to them but ya it feels really convoluted honestly. But ig i get that they need to make him feel more directly involved in the plot so they need to give him some real connecton to the family too since the teen bf already has the arc of knowing the grandma's secret...

Honestly this show is stressing me out now lmao

I just want mr coo to be okay and slightly less clueless so he and my girl hayeon can live happily ever after...is that too much to ask for? i wonder what happened to him falling on her like that at the end there...dont tell me we have another sick character....the athlete teen falling like that was totally random too..why is everyone in this drama sick??

Exactly my problem with this story...4 eps (if he even reveals eveything tomorrow which seems very unlikely from the preview) is just not enough time for someone like haran who spent 7 years grieving the last person she dated...but who knows? Maybe this is also about her being able to bounce back faster now that she's healed? But even then, the fact that they're relationship is built on lies just does not make for an appealing watch...

Woahh this is such a cool pairing and such a welcome change from chae jeong hyeop who is usually always playing golden retriever-esque roles. Really excited to see him as a fierce warrior. Also finally a role that suits his naturally buff physique! Looking forward to seeing won jian as well who is new to me...

Ohh interesting...thank u for ur reply! So this is a she fell first trope then?

Do these characyers appear in hidden love? Any that i might recognize

I think the best scenes in this show for me were anytime mirae held kyeongnam's face in her hands and him in turn leaning into it...so tender and so rarely seen being done by a kdrama FL...love how reciprocal and loving their relationship was too...really enjoying this new year of romance dramas where the FLs don't feel like the same old cardboard cutouts who exist simply to receive from the ML giving next to nothing in return...hoping this streak continues for the rest of the year and beyond...!🙏🤞
