Even if Ha Joon made it alive, I think the only place he could have been would have been jail. Nobody would have accepted him in the crew after what he did. And honestly, I prefer how it ended because it gives a poetic closure to his character's story.
Yeah, the only time I felt sorry for Ha Joon, was when he smiled after hearing his real name. That part of the scene was touching🥹, and I agree both actors did a great job portraying these evil characters. 👍🏻

I was referring, for example, to the part of the drama when ML needs to save his company somehow from some sketchy guys and was wondering if there was any other subplot. But if they gave more time to the romantic plot, it's okay anyway.😊

What do you mean by the abbreviation "tt"? I searched on the internet, but not sure if the one I found is right for the context.🤔
Also, thanks for the involuntary recommendation!😊 Didn't know that Jang Seung Jo and Han So Hee did a drama together!
Moreover, I don't know if it's a spoiler or not, so I'll put it under spoiler anyway:

Hello everyone! 😊
I watched the first episode when it aired and was unsure if I liked it or not (not a fan of the scenes with the pink screen and the whole revenge plot of Woo Joo), but I was intrigued by the second couple and continued watching only their scenes.
So I'd like to ask you: what do you think about the story in general (aside from the romantic aspect of the drama)? Is it engaging, or were you interested more in the romantic relationships between characters? 🤔

I can partially understand why some people here want to compare season 1 to season 2. Personally, though, I don't think there's a need for it, as the two seasons give off different vibes in some way. 🤔
Anyway, I like the second season so far, and I can't wait to watch next week's episodes. 🤩

You're welcome 😊

Nope. Kim Do Gi is alive. 😊

Don't get me wrong, I like to watch romantic dramas with happy endings too, but I don't understand why dramas of this genre need to have a happy ending at all costs.
If it makes sense that the 2 main characters are meant to be together, I'm totally okay with it. The issue here is that it's not the case in this drama because, to make it short, these 2 need to work on themselves before being in a relationship. So makes sense that, in the end, they want to go in separate ways and start a new life. Just like people in real life would do.

Honestly, it's sad to see the rating dropping like this. I liked this drama, so in my opinion, it deserves a solid 9/10.
Many people are asking if this drama is worth it or not. At this point, I think that this depends only on your taste. What do you like more? Realistic dramas or over-the-top romantic comedies? Because this drama belongs to the first category.
Just a clarification: there is nothing wrong with preferring one instead of another genre... it's just that this drama is clearly not for everyone's taste, and I found it sad that the people who didn't like it are the ones who don't accept the ending.

They could've communicated more, and maybe things would have been different for them, I agree.
It probably feels incomplete, but maybe their desire to start over was much stronger than the willingness to fix that misunderstanding and their entire relationship. Sadly, not everything can be solved in life. :(

He probably thought that it would have been useless to resolve the misunderstanding, which was a dumb choice, tbh. 🤦🏻‍♀️
In the finale, I assume they looked at each other just for curiosity since they don't see each other every day as before. And because they have parted ways recently, they're feeling weird when they small talk before exiting the building.
The problem with waiting is that it's an unsure thing to do since there are many "what if?" that could or not happen. For example, Eun Beom could decide that he doesn't want kids once and for all (which, as you know, doesn't match Ha Ra's wish to become a mother), or maybe he could still have problems elaborating and then explaining his feelings for a long time and so on.
Sometimes relationships don't work even if the partners love each other that much. Love it's not the only thing that can make a relationship last. They could have done different things to save their relationship. They couldn't do it because of problems they had to face as individuals and as a couple.
In conclusion, when I watched the ending, I was relieved because seeing them come back together at this point would have meant turning back to the start again with the fear that it could all end again at any moment. Also, the last scene it's reminded me of a part of a monologue from the film "He's Just Not Into You" which, in my opinion, fits perfectly here: "And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on". 🤩

The fact that they broke up and decided to move on with their lives alone is already a solution to the mess that was their entire relationship, in my opinion.
I appreciated that Eun Beom sought out a therapist, which means he's willing to change and resolve his past traumas, but that itself couldn't appear as a possible solution to all their problems as a couple (since even Ha Ra should also deal with her flaws). It's just him who decided to become a better person for his own sake. 😊
Let's not forget that he can't expect Ha Ra to wait for him forever, so it's better to separate ways now and try to enjoy their life with other people.
Well, Bi Chwi's story is different since she has Si Wook's support from the beginning of her pregnancy, and they resolve all their problem by discussing them (in their own way 😂)

I usually read here the synopsis and tags of the upcoming dramas, instead of the ones on the streaming platforms, so I didn't notice the tags on Viki.
Having said that, I'm sure there is some rom-com where the leads don't end up together (some of the American rom-com that I watched, for example, have the same ending, more or less)

Yes, I agree with you. Eun Beom should have communicated more instead of jumping to conclusions... but even if he did that, they wouldn't end up together anyways because he still has some past trauma to deal with through therapy. And because of this, Ha Ra can't wait for him forever.
I think that what happens after them separating ways is up to our imagination since it's not the purpose of the story to show the characters dealing with their life after that decision. But yeah, it would have been nice seeing a scene with both of them happily with other people in the future.

I don't think this drama has an open ending because Eun Beom and Ha Ra had their last break up in episode 11. After that, nothing happened that could have hinted at them becoming lovers again. And the fact that they go in separate ways for me only means they are ready to start a new life without being clingy to their past anymore.
Finally, just a little clarification: tag "romance" doesn't automatically mean "happy ending" especially if it is followed with the "drama" tag. In my opinion reaching the "happy ever after" at all costs is not believable, and I'm happy that the writer chose not to do so. 😊

Since I read a lot of comments from people who didn't like the ending... I'm curious to know what would have been the perfect ending for you (considering all the hardships that characters had to go through)? 🤔

Ok, but I still think there are better words to describe your mood. No need to exaggerate things! 😅🙂

Calling it disturbing is a bit too much! Don't you think? 😅

I don't think the main focus of this drama was to tell a romantic story. Indeed, I imagine that the aim was to tell stories of imperfect love, including that of the protagonists.
Honestly, I prefer these kinds of stories to those that push for happy endings at all costs and for no good reason (dramas like "Something in the Rain" and "Nevertheless" come to mind. I didn't see the last one only because it has a terribly unrealistic ending). It's not that I don't like cute romantic stories... it's just that they need to be, first of all, realistic to be enjoyable for me.
Aside from my point of view (which may not be a shared opinion), let's see what route the screenwriter has decided to follow in this last episode. I don't have any particular expectations for the finale, so I'm curious how it'll end.

As I imagined, Ha Ra was talking with her mother about another topic at the beginning of the episode. Eun Beom seemed upset in that scene, and I don't get why since he was the one to suggest dating one more time. What I mean is that I expected him to confront Ha Ra about the matter, but instead, he chose to run away again after the first warning sign and acted coldly toward her. Why didn't Eun Beom explain to her how things were when Ha Ra asked him questions about his behavior during the company's dinner?
I think that what they said in this episode is true: not all couples are destinated to remain together till the end, no matter how the partners love each other. And this seems to be Ha Ra and Eun Beom's case too.
As much as I would love them to communicate with each other and solve their problems, this episode seems to eliminate the possibility of a happy ending between them (btw, I'd like to be wrong in this case, but let's see tomorrow's last episode...).
Apart from these sad scenes, the rest of the episode was hilarious, and I enjoyed it! 😂😂
Si Wook and Bi Chwi are so cute together. They are doing what Ha Ra and Eun Beom have failed from the start: communicating (even though it's not in the calmer way possible 🤣) and compromising with each other. This allows them to grow up as individuals and as a couple and become better parents in the future too.💕
