One of the best K-dramas of the current season. Performances are superb, the writing is incredible (requires thinking, so you may not like it if you hate to think!), and the cinematography is beautiful. One of the gems of 2024, IMO.

A sizable percentage of K-drama "fans" of all nationalities are incredibly immature. They'll literally wish a drama crashes and burns, thus helping destroy the livelihoods of the people starring in it/on the staff and crew, just because something "offends" them or their favorite actor wasn't cast in it.

My mantra for decades has been "You can't fix stupid people. Don't try or, like the pigs they are, they will cover you in the mud they wallow in". :)

Hahaha -- did enjoy the last line "I'll bring the sass, you bring the sermon" -- thanks for the laugh!! You might be fun to hang around after all :)

Yep. Agree with you on the opening song. So pretty.

Loved everything about this. Awesome veteran actors, nice performances, an adorable well-trained dog, a cute plot, and a really comfy, relaxing watch. Highly recommend for anyone who just wants something fun to watch.

It's just such a nice, relaxing watch. Even with the murders :) And love all the actors so much!!

I think you have to understand the Thais and Thailand to really enjoy this (lived there for 15 years, so it probably resonate a lot more with me than with others not so familiar with the country/people).

It's one of my favorite Thai films, as I've now just watched it for the 4th time :)

Likely A Moment But Forever.

And btw, I'm currently watching the A Moment But Forever donghua (anime) on iQIYI -- it's absolutely GORGEOUS! Amazing character models, excellent animation, and the backgrounds are stunning.

Highly recommend if you don't want to wait for the drama. Or... if you just like superb 3D animation :)

Fabulous. Doubles down on the nasty personality. You must be a delight to hang around in real life :)

Thanks so much for your comments on my site. Yep, it's a heckuva lot of work :), but me and the two writers who currently work with me write about the things we enjoy, so that makes it a lot of fun too :)

I also own 4 other websites and am just kicking off a 5th one about Chinese donghua, so sleep is a problem :)

And yep, I think you're correct about the misunderstanding about the genre with this one.

Especially as some K-drama fans go into a drama expecting a typical romance plot, and then spend their time trashing it when it doesn't meet their expectations, instead of just moving on to something they do like. Sad really, as they waste portions of their very finite lives concentrating on negative things.

Thanks again for the nice comment!!

All in for this - - the cast list is amazing, and it sounds more unique than much of what we normally get.

Wow, imagine the nastiness that takes for a person to wish every other actor in it, and the production crew and staff who rely on these jobs to feed their families, to be in a drama that "fails" because the cast list doesn't suit YOUR needs. Reflect on your awful personality.

One of the most "feel good" dramas of the year. Love this and this wonderful characters (and that dog!) so much!

Viki if it's available in your area (it's not in mine (Europe).

Love this drama so much. Incredibly well-written as it looks at unhealthy relationships, and what people do in them to cope. Because, let's face it, a huge number of people in real life are in so-called "unhealthy relationships" (whatever that means) - although many people will not admit it to themselves.

Maybe that's why there's so much hate for this, as the people calling it "toxic" (a stupid, woke word that is massively overused in left-wing society and so has lost any meaning) are probably seeing themselves in the Dear Hyeri characters.

The whole point of the drama is that it's real, instead of the fake, shallow romance we see in so many Korean dramas, because life isn't usually fairy cakes and unicorns, unlike what so many K-drama fans would like to believe.

An easy 10/10 for me.

A Zionist? Oh right, another lunatic Hamas supporter. God, I'm so sick of you people.

It's such a shame as her character is brilliant in the donghua -- quirky but incredibly cool. Instead, the drama has turned her into a whining twerp with the Emotional Intelligence of a fruit fly. So bored with her, I could scream :)

Problem too is, even if we eventually get major character development (I'm watching Ep 21 so still have a waaaaaays to go), she's become a character I hate so much I won't even care :)

Never hated a character more :) I'm now shoving all her scenes into 3x speed just to get thru them.

So many people are immature, and have temper tantrums over the stupidest things. They also have no thought for the actors, staff, director etc who put incredible amounts of time and work into a drama/film only to have some idiot downrate it because the subtitles weren't "perfect" or because one line spoken in it "offended" them.

My mantra in life has always been "You can't fix stupid. Just avoid it". :)

Agree 1000%. Writing on the last two is massively superior to the other three .
