I actually really enjoyed this drama for the first 15 episodes, but then it dragged on way too long with repetitive secrets. The romance felt so rushed, as they went from dating to a proposal in just a couple of weeks, and that wasn’t even the end. They added a few extra episodes after that with random plots that felt completely unnecessary.
I did enjoy the message the drama was sending about loving yourself though.
Hopefully the second season will give us some actual romance. I'm 7 episodes in on season 1 and it's like they…
Yeah, the ‘Romance’ genre felt completely misleading since there was no real romance at all even until the end. I was disappointed because I started watching with the expectation of a love story, but…
I actually really enjoyed the look and feel of this drama. As a healing drama, it does a good job of showing Yeo-reum’s journey of self-discovery in a calm and realistic way which I loved. The scenery was beautiful, and the different locations made it feel grounded and genuine. I also liked the supporting cast; they added warmth and a bit of humour, which made the drama easier to sit through even when it dragged a little.
The romance genre, however, got me. I felt it was hanging by a single thread throughout the drama. In fact, there was barely any real romance at all. LYS’s feelings were one-sided until he finally confessed, and even then, nothing much happened, with KYR simply smiling. But at least she showed some form of acceptance towards his confession, right? I honestly saw that as the most romantic moment in the entire drama, which is both funny and a little sad. It would have made more sense to tag it as ‘Slight-Romance’ because sure there is a slight romantic atmosphere at moments but nothing other than that. The ‘Romance’ genre might end up confusing some of the viewers who came for the romance like me.
Like I said, the healing and self-discovery aspects of the drama were enjoyable, but personally, I came for the romance. I was taken aback when there wasn’t any, but I still kept watching because it was soothing.
I completely get why you’d want to watch the drama for Jo Bo Ah. I also like her, and I do feel for her. At…
I agree with you, gender definitely plays a part in how these situations are handled, but in his case, there’s also the fact that he was the CEO of Gold Medalist, the label that managed him. That kind of power and influence gives him far more protection than the average actor. The standards for how crimes are treated in the Korean entertainment industry are ridiculous. We’ve seen celebrities take their own lives over scandals like drunk driving or drug use, yet this guy groomed a minor and somehow walks away without consequence🤦♂️
I don’t want it to get cancelled because of KSH’s scandal because I’ll be watching it for Cho Bo Ah .She…
I completely get why you’d want to watch the drama for Jo Bo Ah. I also like her, and I do feel for her. At the same time, I’m a bit concerned about releasing it with KSH involved. The allegations have been around for a while, and some people are starting to forget about them. Giving him the spotlight now might risk him regaining support from those who have already moved on, which is something we have seen happen with other actors in similar situations. They'd take a break for a while, and once everything has died down, they'd come back into the industry like nothing had happened.
