Okay I was right that was Lee Chung Hyun in ep12. Jeon Jong Seo(Ah Jeong)'s real life boyfriend and director.

Honestly it should have been. Maybe they would have fleshed out Do Han a bit more as he seemed very 2D. And showed his relationship more with his brother and best friend. And they could have had more actual romance between the FL and ML once they got together. In the last hour a lot a lot was exposited that could have been shown in some way. They took out character development and what could have been an interesting coup at the company.
Making a supporting character have more dimension also helps round out the lead characters. (Do Han was technically a lead, but he was like a cardboard stand-in to move the plot and nothing more.)

They never really developed his character at all. We never got a reason for his ex being hurt/injured in the flashback(cant remember what episode it was in). The grandfather was the one who had sent him the photos of him in New York, and knew he liked men for the whole show.
Do Han came out about the fake engagement and his sexual orientation in a press conference after his brother tried to take the blame for a love triangle scandal. He then dipped to the airport back to New York.
Show had a year skip. He came back to Seoul for an art exhibit. Ex apologized for his part in Do Han outing himself. Do Han tries to talk Ji Han and Ah Jeong into seeing each other again. Do Han and his grandfather are on good terms. The older half-siblings have chilled out with regards to their younger half-siblings.

This is a warning to new watchers not super spoilery in nature.

Even if I hadn't seen the original Korean version I would be disappointed in how centered a 2FL/antagonist is in what is supposed to be a romance. There is very little actual romance in this "romance". This has the same leave of romance as a middle school centered school drama, where all the actors are underage and thus don't make physical contact.

I only recommend this show to people who truly love the actors in this project. Those who haven't seen the original live action. And to those who have no idea what the source material is whatsoever.

Episode 3, ya'll I am nothing but a puddle of tears. was not expecting that beautiful representation in a period Kdrama...😭😭😭
A mother not only seeing her child, but excepting & embracing them in such a loving & protective way...I gotta go hug my mom real quick after this one.

"Secondary Gay Lead"

Half of them wouldn't have started the show in the first place. We have people halfway through the show still waiting for the LGBTQ+ storyline to start developing taking about bad writing.
& when people are talking about the bad writing they refuse to put their essay in a spoiler tag, ruining the comment section for everyone who is enjoying the show or MIGHT find enjoyment in the show.

I feel like we should put bets down at this point. I feel like groom is going to be Kim Bum or Woo Bin.

Whoever put "Gay Male Lead" as a tag for the show is the main reason for the chaos of this comment section.

Half of it is just people thinking this is a BL drama not realizing it's two male siblings and a lead female and a lavender marriage proposal.
Yes, there is a queer character, but they don't focus or develop his character to the extent that most people cruising the LGBTQ+ tag would enjoy. If that is why you want to watch this show, don't. Go find a nice web drama or a Thai drama to scratch that itch.

can you please put this in a spoiler tag

Tomorrow when the last episode drops put it on 2x the speed to rip the band-aid off, and skip to the last 5-10 minutes to just see the end ending. That's what i did with a drama that I had to bale 10 episodes into a 16 episode show. I got the closure without wasting 6 hours of my life.

PS I did try multiple times to ask people to spoiler tag when discussing plot points or longer comments, but no one cared.

I feel like we deployed reverse thrusters to come in for a landing. Very slow paced compared to previous episodes. It could be because I guessed motives of the grandfather very early on that it felt like a rehash. But I'm glad I was proven correct in why he acts the way he does with Ji Han and the older siblings.
We have less than 10 minutes of the three main leads in the same location. Their conversations for the most part were all over the phone. So that connection was missing. Which is sad when we only have an hour left.
Very somber episode only two scenes would be considered a valve release...ML's brother and sister-in-law, and FL's friends.

Thoughts on episode 11

this is true. I think of the 400+ shows I've watched. I think only a couple handfuls were Kdramas that are 12 episodes...and they were all within the last few years or web dramas so I guess I don't really have a set gauge on their common timing.
But looking at 6 of them either no kiss whatsoever or kiss/confession at episode 8 or later. Had to go look at my notes & the episode guides.

The only things that I can complain about as of episode 11 is...
Lack of character development of Do Han. Developing him more could have meant that we could have seen him fighting to be himself rather than running all the time. I'm not talking about publicly being out but with his best friend and brother they could have gone deeper into his feelings.

Lack of follow through with the romance. When the FL and ML finally get together it is extremely chased and doesn't feel as longing/intense as it should, imo. The actors have done an amazing job, but I feel like they didn't quite get there with this aspect.

The writers have pulled the 24episode Cdrama troupe of "one year later"...if you know, you know.

The reason you aren't seeing us is because all the people hating it refuse to use spoiler tags, so every time we want to talk about it positively we are confronted with immature takes that ruin any good mood we had in the first place.
potential plot spoilers below

only ONE person in the past 5 hours has used the spoiler tag...ONE...
I can't with this

Can those who are going to be yucking everyone else's yum today, kindly put their negative thoughts in a spoiler tag? I don't want to have to scroll past essays filled with hate. Drop the show and move on, I promise you will feel much better.

Every time I go to see what the people complaining about the show are watching, to gauge what they think is good/enjoy, I go to their page and 'Wedding Impossible' isn't even listed. Half the time they don't even keep track of the shows they watch. Why are people not using the best feature of the app/website? The chaos.

the end of the episode you are currently watching. Ep 8 is normally when the romance kicks off in most kdramas.
