Yes girl!! Fantastic explanation of their relationship. How refreshing was it to see a drama with a healthy relationship from start to end with leads that have off the chart chemistry? I think a lot of times dramas equate toxic behavior to "romance/chemistry". This drama is one of the few that prove that you don't need all that unnecessary back and forth and toxicity to capture viewers. Still one of my favorites to this day and I adore the male actor <3

As my first BL drama, I am totally floored. What a treasure this drama was! I’m huge fans of the leads and the acting. What a fantastic story of pure love and character development. Ugh I wish I could rewatch it for the first time again

He’s also in a Vietnamese drama called Choc Tuc Vo Yeu

Loved it until the last two episodes. Honestly, how could you make the SL more lovable and have more chemistry with the FL than the ML??? And I love Cha Eun Woo!! Ugh frustrated the last episode was a complete mess and joke.

There are dramas where the woman/wife was cheating. "Secret Affair" and "A Wife Credentials" to name a couple

Thought it was cute and interesting...until the last 10 episodes. I agree with others that the plot fell apart at the end. The last ten episodes were pretty much wrapped up in misunderstandings, fighting, and a lack of trust for the main couple. Shame :/

Despite the toxic family dynamics, the drama had a lot to offer. It was a slow burn romance/drama but well worth the time as characters and relationships developed. What actually was touching for me is how the family relationships evolved over time and misunderstandings and painful memories were resolved. Lots of crying- in a good way. Also love the relationship between the leads.

I agree with others in that it is so refreshing to see a drama with leads in a healthy, supportive, and loving relationship. I think most people found it boring because the relationship itself had little drama ( a hallmark of a secure, healthy relationship). I really enjoyed the ML particularly, his expressions are *chefs kiss*. I loved seeing the FL stand up for herself and her relationship too. She wasn't ditzy or annoying at all. HIGHLY recommend watching!

That’s what I mean. The orange makeup/bronzer was absolutely terrible in the first half of the drama where after they kissed you can literally see that the makeup had transferred to the FL face.

Yeah, I can see that. It makes sense for when he’s traveling the world or outside but it seems like it’s also that way when hes been indoors for awhile too. Like she’s been in scenes where she’s been through hell or outside awhile and not a drop of sweat and perfect makeup. Would have been better to be consistent imo

Alright it got a lot better towards the end. I ended up really loving the second male lead male more than the ML though. Overall the drama was good and reminded me of Goodbye My Princess- the angst, toxic ness, and love story.

Okay legit question. Did it not drive you guys crazy seeing how bad makeup and hair was? Like they did Sean Xiao dirty. Homeboy looks sweaty and unkempt 99% of the time.

Cute, fluffy but honestly was not convinced of any chemistry between the leads and I got bored after 12 episodes.

Really enjoyed the drama. All the male leads were wonderful in their own way. I wish she would have ended up with Yamashita as he was the best option for her. Yuri is basically a teenager (as much as I love the actor) and Masashi is her cousin. Not a fan of romanticizing relationships with teens and much older adults. It’s predatory and gross.

Yuri is played by my favorite actor who is just a heartthrob but seeing Yamashita and her together is so so much better. That motorcycle scene was like the switch for me. I’m team Yamashita all the way

Just finished and I think that despite the eye candy which ML is, the drama did not deliver. I'm all for slow burn romance but plot fell apart fast, didn't like the way ML was treating FL (problematic), and the whole relationship secrecy killed it for me.

Okay am I the only one who gets annoyed with the trend of school/college dramas in which you hide-your-relationship-from-everyone-even-though-its-obvious? It's such a buzzkill

I am also sick of this stereotype. Can we please retire this overused, colorist, lame trope?

The thing i absolutely hate about cdramas is the constant horse tripping and abuse. UGH

Too many damn flashbacks in each episode like bruh that scene literally happened 5 mins ago- we remember it. It's a cheesy, fluffy romance with lots of kisses though. I just couldn't get past the poor storytelling and flashbacks.
