I decided to watch this out of curiosity since I've already watched the original drama. I watched the first 3 episodes and think it's good so far. I like both leads, even though they are less chaotic than Jiwook and Bonghee! š Since it's way shorter than the original one, this version looks like a resume, but it's still enjoyable. š
The hug scene was amazing and super cute, but I can't say the same for the kiss scene! š Well, at least their relationship made great progress in this episode, so I'm happy! š„°š
i don't know really. i didn't feel any openness in it lol maybe i just watched to many dramas and i'm used to…
Of course not! Honestly, it would be quite boring for me if all the dramas followed a "happily ever after" Disney-like theme. š„± Iām sure someone here might argue that if a drama doesnāt have that kind of a happy ending, itās not worth watching, and while I respect that opinion, I personally find it a bit limiting, as it prevents them from enjoying many great dramas and movies but oh wellā¦ š¤·š»āāļø
i don't know really. i didn't feel any openness in it lol maybe i just watched to many dramas and i'm used to…
I could be wrong, but it seems like most people only consider a marriage proposal or wedding as a happy endingāeverything else feels more like an open ending to them. š¤·š»āāļø
Loved this dramaāa solid 9.5 from me! š Iām curious why some users think the ending felt open and rushed. š¤ Personally, I found the ending to be clear and not rushed! Also, I love the OST! š
imo...I think the cover needs to be changed....the current one doesn't do justice to the bright life they had…
In my opinion, this cover reflects their current reality, so it's a perfect choice. A happier cover might be a bit misleading for viewers who expect a lighter plot, maybe? š¤ Plus, I donāt think it would match the title, and personally, Iād feel a bit thrown off after reading the plot if the cover was too joyful! š
Maybe they will start talking directly or something but with Hongās recent action, them getting back together…
I agree. They will probably go their separate ways, especially considering how much Hong is still hurt by this relationship and that sheās getting married to Min Jun.
Do you think the letter's content will bring them back together, or they'll end up for good? š¤
I would love to see them get back together, considering that they are both more mature now than when they were a couple, but on the other hand, I would also like them to stop living in the past and move on with their lives separately!
I get what you are trying to say with all the comments. The male driven society is not at all favorable to women…
In this drama, I think the screenwriter shows more FL life choices because, in the end, she is the one who starts their relationship dynamic and the whole story. And about ML, I think that we'll discover more about his life in the next episodes. Maybe we'll see that aspect too! Well, if we really want to be nitpicky, ML is not perfect at all since he's hiding from her that he was one of the children her parents took care of (and the fact that he's an illegitimate child, but she has already found out that) Anyway, whether his past love life is shown or not doesn't make any difference to me: it doesn't make him less of a man or a delicate angel in my eyes, so I still don't understand why this detail is so important. š¤·š»āāļø
Yeah, don't worry, I decided to ignore, from now on, all the sexist commenters...
if it's not a conservative drama why they make only fl that so open sexually and show her exs and she even talking…
True. Men in kdramaland are almost always portrayed as angels in disguise. Even though fk boys are portrayed too, donāt forget about them.Ā Have you ever seen an old drama (but I would consider some of the recent dramas too)? In these, FL is always a good inexperienced, and angelic woman who knows little outside the world of school-home/work-home, and men are portrayed as their knights in shiny armor (a tiring dynamic, donāt you think? Itās the moment to change things a little!) You wrote: āIt must be the top fantasy of liberal women [...]ā. This is said by who? Do you have a statistic perhaps? Donāt make me laugh, this drama is around Hae Yeong, and she doesnāt represent all the women in the world⦠Also, I donāt know what part of the world you live in⦠but itās always all the way around: men with an active sex life are considered amazing by society, and women who are doing the same are seen by the majority as wh*res. Itās never the other way around. And this is whatās called ādouble standardā. Why does sexual empowerment in kdrama only go around women? Because men are never criticized and mocked by anyone like how it happens to women every day. And again the ML is not conservative. Do you know that men can also be shy and reserved and decide to donāt talk about their sex life to the world? Do you consider these people conservative?Ā āCan't understand the fascination of modern feminist women [ā¦]ā This is, again, your assumption and not the realityā¦

Well, you wrote: āIf itās not a conservative drama why they make [...]ā and this means that you think this is a conservative drama. ML is not conservative just because heās not showing off his sex life and FL is again just talking openly about her preference thatās it. Double standard means that a man and a woman are judged differently despite doing the same thing. Want an example? A man bragging about his sex life is considered a powerful man by others, a woman doing the same is viewed as a wh*re by society. This is what double standards mean. And again, here doesnāt apply because she is not bragging about anything and he doesnāt talk about it for a reason that maybe weāll know about in the next episodes. No, I didnāt watch it, but itās on my PTW list, though. Anyway, you canāt pretend a screenwriter shows every single detail about a character's life and start to ask yourself: is knowing this specific detail important to the development of the story or is it just me that Iām curious about that. Anyway, Iām curious to know where you hear that ML is conservative because I donāt think nobody ever said it in the drama, as far as I remember. Even though ML is really conservative and doesn't want to talk about his sex life, I still donāt see what the problem is and why this is so important for you and the other two users under my comment.

Are you sure you know what āconservativeā means? If this were truly a conservative drama, the FL wouldnāt be openly discussing her sexual experiences, and her sister wouldnāt be in a polyamorous relationship. The only conservative aspect here is that the FL needs to marry to get a promotion. You canāt label a drama as conservative just because the ML isnāt portrayed as a stereotypical ābad boyā or alpha male. And about the so-called ādouble standardā: it doesnāt apply here. The FL is simply more open about her experiences, and the ML isnātāwhether itās due to his lack of experience, shyness, or another reason. The fact that the FL talks more about it than the ML doesnāt mean thereās a ādouble standard.ā Itās just a character choice.
If you're conservative, this drama isn't for you. There are plenty of old conservative dramas you'd enjoy more. So, why stay here just to complain? Is anyone forcing you to watch and comment "No gain, no love"? š¤ (Spoiler: obviously not š ).
It could become a full on kiss in the next episode, they do it a lot in dramas.. Even if they won't, both actors…
Exactly. Mainly because generally speaking, the real first kiss in a romantic comedy kdrama is on episode 8, so I don't understand why most people complained! š¤·š»āāļø But I agree, whether they kiss or not in tomorrow's episode, both actors are good drama kissers, so there is nothing to worry about. š
Guys, no need to be upset about the kiss! It happened at the end of episode 7, so itās totally normal that it was just a peck (considering that the alternative would have been a very long exchange of glancesš). Anyway, if youāve watched other dramas with Shin Minah or Kim Youngdae, you know there's really nothing to worry about! š
This is another one of those dramas where FL needs a third party (SML) to realize her feelings for ML, like The…
Iām not sure why you used the terms āmisandryā and āreverse sexismā to describe the relationship between the FL and ML in this drama. While I agree that the FL is unfair to the ML, it doesnāt seem like she has an aversion to him or is doing anything that directly harms his career or personal life. The real issue here seems to be the family dynamics. The ML and his brother are dealing with a controlling mother, and the FLās decision to break up with him is more about stepping away from a complicated family situation rather than confusion about her feelings for ML. Introducing a SFL wouldnāt resolve the core issue, which is the problematic behavior of the mother. Also, SML and FL aren't colleagues. Heās an artist working on a project for the company where she works. Apart from that, I agree that the FL should set clear boundaries with SML, as his behavior is creepy.
I watched the first 3 episodes and think it's good so far. I like both leads, even though they are less chaotic than Jiwook and Bonghee! š
