Park Jae on is of my favorite kdrama character….and now I have found his female version!! Lee Doona❤️ My…
yes, this drama reminded me of Nevertheless, one of my favorite dramas. Doona is one well-written and acted drama - different from the usual K/dramas - so much more realistic AND very few if any overused tropes.
The first time a drama couple breaks up for absolutely no reason. In reality they could have had a behind the…
Agree - the ending left me hanging. I would give it an 8.5 or so. It was a very interesting drama with little or no boring tropes. The ending was interesting but unclear, Yes, they could have dated when no one knew about it.
I'll be honest, I'm not usually someone who enjoys marriage-of-convenience, contract relationships and cohabitation…
definitely agree! I enjoyed the FL's family and the love between the two leads. and the story itself. Lots of unusual things happen in this series which makes it most unusual. I loved it.
I liked this series quite a bit. I would definitely recommend it - it's on the light side but with some trope issues. Yes, the kisses were bland but the love between the main leads was not bland and that is important too. I gave it an 8.5!

Sorry for the late response:
In thinking back on watching South Wind, the first half was very good but as it progressed towards the final chapters, as far as I was concerned, I became immune to the torture, ML's continued attitude toward the FL, and the pain that the ML's mother inflicted on everyone.
After a while, it just became business as usual. China needs to change how it ends its series. They start well, capturing my interest, but then my interest slowly fades.
During the five years time jump, the writer fell asleep, went on vacation, didn't show up for work. He should…
QAS - I am really laughing out loud at what you said!!!! I guess you were too!! Ep 39 really needed rewriting - if it hadn't been for one of our MDL members, I would not have understood that the main couple was still together during the 5-year leap. She clarified it pointing out the montage the FL showed to the college audience that the main couple were still together.
The writer snuck it in during his/her vacation :-)
They were together for those 5 yrs, i think its implied during the montage where she discusses about the danmin…
Thank you for your explanation. The FL made a presentation to a large group of students. After that 2 students approached her and wanted to be connected to the ML.
When you use the word 'Montage", where they look at each other lovingly, implying that they were together, when did the Montage occur relative to her presentation to the college students?
I must have missed something - you are really good at spotting things. I will go back again (!) and watch after she and the ML hug each other in the hospital to see if I can spot what you are saying.
Thank you again so much - !
Yes, the ending was a bit patchy, but this was a wonderful series to watch nevertheless.

Being an American, I was used to American movies. I wasn't too happy with them. However, 10 years ago I subscribed to Netflix and began watching movies/series from different nations. But then I slipped into watching Asian series/movies and I completely switched to that genre. Little did I know about the difference between the J, C, K, and T/dramas - but little by little I became more focused on the K series, enjoying them more and more. Recently, I started getting really interested in the C series. I feel that K dramas, in most K dramas recently have lost some of their significance, for me. Still, the C/dramas keep waving their flag but they are more interesting subject-wise. I loved Road Home, and many of the recent C/dramas shown. Interesting that C/dramas have some very pretty OST also.

Jo24, you said it so well. I must admit, however, I'm getting more interested in C/dramas than K/dramas. I never thought I would say that. There has been a lot of improvement in the story and the actors. The problem is that C/dramas are still too long, whereas K/dramas are mostly 16 episodes and J/dramas are even fewer.
Yes, the 3-year delay release created a problem with its exposure. I hope, as I said, that they act together again but for me, only modern dramas, not historical ones. But that is just me.
The camera work from the director was excellent too - the close-ups of the 2 main leads, especially the ML were well done in particular.

So true - as I replied, that I had forgotten about the 2 students who looked so eager. I have to look at it again - but you are right BreezeC. I guess I just eagerly wanted more time to watch them both after they reconciled. I just want to see the main couple in another modern romance series. I like both leads so much.
Bai Lu did some other good rom-coms too.
Thank you!!
Light but fun to watch and gets better as it gets more into the story.
I would definitely recommend it - it's on the light side but with some trope issues.

Oh well, thank you for your humor - and truth!
YOU WERE RIGHT!!!!
Now I feel better about the ending. Thank you so much for clarifying it for me.
On with the next series.
