The part where the roommate opens the door when HT and JX are talking about their relationship status...I am sick…
Writers think viewers like the overused tropes and it is easy writing for them too. Eg: the big white truck of death and more dumb tropes like that. Another example: phone rings just before a kiss. Someone on MDL should write an article about overused tropes! Could be funny.
She had a boyfriend in the 1st 10 episodes and it's unlikely she will get together with the ML right away so I…
HI, I hope you are right! I just love the two main leads - and you are probably right - the first 20 episodes was partly the first 10 episodes (where she as with her first boyfriend) and then the next 10 episodes, just getting adjusted to not being with him.
You made a good point - fingers crossed - Thanks!
Still, so much is spent on the other couples that I hope that slows down :-) while time is spent on our main couple
I've watched this series up to ep 19. My interest is only because of the two main actors: Tan Song and Xu Kai
However, the series focuses on 4 couples, of which the main couple only has a share of 1/4th of the time. That is disappointing. Yes, the other couples are somewhat fun to watch but most of the romantic time spent should have been on the main couple.
We have 20 more episodes to watch. I hope this promising series starts waiting up!
Song Hyun Wook and Ahn Pan Seok are the two directors that I follow. I don't know about you guys this ain't literature,…
So well said - I don't think most MDL watchers really appreciate this series. It is slow, deep, meaningful series. This series is not the usual K/drama - !
how can you guys drop this?? I’m in 5th episodes and I’m loving every bits of this. it’s so interesting…
I don't think most MDL watchers fully understand the Korean culture - Me as one of them. However, the acting is believable, the OST matches the scenes, the two brave leads are standing up for themselves, and as usual, there are very few, in any culture, that will stand up for what is right.
I watch this series with an open mind - it is hard to watch - not the usual Korean troping series, but for those that try to understand it, it is truly rewarding.
Agree with you. I am watching the ML in Queen of Tears. A completely different role and he looks quite different.…
I loved this series. The FL came on so strong - and the ML helped her, quietly. Yes, she could be obnoxious at times but winning in politics is not easy.
Park Sung Hoon is an excellent actor - he can take a role such that one couldn't even recognize him. Multi-talented. This series is a possible rewatch for me.
ML and FL teach at a hagwon which is a private fee-based tutoring center. They make lesson plans for different…
It's hard to imagine a movie or series without tropes. It's when a trope is overused is when it becomes hackneyed. Also, the more episodes a series has, the more tropes the writer can throw in the script Yes, the second-half breakup is so tropish that it happens more often than not. After a long second-half breakup, the ending is not always satisfying or believable. I haven't finished ep 3, since I was confused about the school situation but thanks to you and another person, I can go on!

Thank you so much. We have something like that in the US but mainly it is after-school businesses teaching foreign languages and Math in particular. Also, these schools operate during the summer.
I've been suspicious of Cheong Mi - she appears to have some hidden motives that are not clear yet.
There appears to be serious competition between these private tutoring schools and their teachers.
This is an interesting series without a lot of the usual tropes.
I was confused and now I can watch it and understand it better.
Can someone explain why: Teachers Seo Hye Jin and Lee Jun Ho teach at a certain high school. Why do they also teach (or want to teach) at other schools? Thanks!
K-Drama 
The writing is not good, with lots of filler, and lots of flashbacks - to fill 40 episodes.
I hope the last 8 episodes make up for some of the pitfalls of this series.
I've watched Tan in so many series - but my favorite is Road Home.
Xu Kai was fun to watch in Best Choice Ever.
This will not be a rewatch for me but both Tan Songyun and Xu Kai pulled my strings!!!

So far, I score it a 8.6.

I was really confused.
Now I can watch this series with more clarity.
Again, thank you!
