I enjoyed the cinematography and switches between Korean and Japanese ever since “what comes after love” I hoped for more Korean and Japanese kdramas. I like how the jobs are different in this K drama like she’s an actress and he’s an interpreter. We never really see like different types of jobs in K drama. We always get the same CEO and employee type of relationship here we get to see more in depth of being an interpretor. Muhee waking up famous makes up for the six month coma that director caused.

You can tell Muhee and Mr joo we’re both attracted to one another after the first meet. It’s just that I feel like Mr joo avoids his feelings he clearly like munhee but yet acts as if it’s because he’s just there to interpret. As the show goes on there isn’t much romance between the two main leads. Because Mr joo is so avoidant he lost his chance to confess to his crush before. He’s such a coward Ngl. Muhee is also avoidant as well but in a different way. As soon as Mr joo and her are on good terms she self sabotages and causes even more misunderstandings.

The second lead

Hiro is such an asshole especially in episode 4 . Like I get it u helped her from falling when she fainted and u expect a thank you . Sometimes when someone almost faints it’s not like have a memory cuz what they see is fuzzy kinda. He could now after having a translator bring it up instead of still acting all entitled. He so arrogant. I still root for Mr joo he helped her find hiro. Cuz hiro being a petty person was gonna keep letting go of balloon while moving in a bicycle making her run everywhere. Just because she doesn’t remember him catching her cuz she fainted like? So childish and inconsiderate. I feel like hiros contacts being lost was a lie after he said “this is the worse” to muheee leaf heart. He so mean for what?

Mr joo should tell muhee what hiro actually said but then again she’d probably freak out and ruin the filming. The filming is already ruined because of hiro so he could just tell muhee.

The translation

If muhee is having a hard time understanding hiro, why doesn’t she just use the translator that she’s been using since episode one. Like did the plot just drop that?

The split personality

The split personality doesn’t quite fit in with this show Ngl. It’s very minor and should fit in romance with Mr joo instead.

Jisun and Mr joo

Why doesn’t mr joo clarify he’s not into jisun anymore yet he still acts like he is when muhee is around. After the back n forth with Mr joo’s brother I ended up skipping her scenes. She was quick to get with yongu as well. Didn’t care for their relationship at all. It’s crazy how three guys wanted her when she’s like literally basic. She barely had any personality.

Mr joo and his mom

Mr joo reconnecting with his is just filler episodes honestly if I were him i wouldn’t reconnect with her she went no contact with him for 13 years and is now getting married it took someone who didn’t know that she was Mr joo mom for them to talk. could’ve just not shown the mom instead build more plot around hiro and the other characters.


Second lead vs First lead

The difference between hiro and Mr joo is that hiro isn’t a coward in love. He’s willing to tell the girl he likes in front of reality tv. On their other hand mr joo is avoidant to his feelings and doesn’t confess.

Even if hiro and muhee speak the same language he still won’t win her over. If was live at first sight in a way between muhee and Mr joo.
