I have to agree. While I really enjoy the main characters, I feel the second leads deserve more screen time too. I’m hoping the final episode will give them a proper conclusion and wrap up their story as well.

Lol, yeah, it crossed my mind for a sec.

I think it really depends on the execution and the way the story is told. There are plenty of shorter dramas that have managed to build believable relationships and emotional depth in far fewer episodes. If the writing is focused and intentional, 12 episodes can be more than enough to explain both the romance and the circumstances around it.

Also, in idol culture, a devoted fan already starts from a place of emotional attachment and trust. Fans idealize their idol and believe they can do no wrong, searching for excuses and explanations that protect the image they believe in.

Being a fan and being a lawyer doesn’t mean she would blindly dismiss the accusation or abandon her professional ethics. Rather, her faith as a devoted fan is simply the starting point, it's what motivates her to look closer, question the evidence and fight to uncover the truth.

If they can clearly show how her admiration evolves into understanding and emotional connection as she gets to know the person behind the idol image, the romance can feel natural and believable, even if they didn’t have a prior personal history.

She doesn't have to be "in love" with Ra Ik from the start. Most fans aren't romantically in love with their idols. The romance and the falling inlove phase could develop naturally and gradually later on when she's defending him and they're working together to clear his name. That kind of progression feels more realistic and earned. But that's just me.

Yes. The drama is titled "So I Married An Anti Fan".

There are too many coincidences. Ra Ik just happens to be the boy who once sang for her and gave her hope, and the boy who bullied her just happens to be the prosecutor she’s now up against in Ra Ik’s murder case, which now adds a revenge element. It all ties together almost too neatly.

I’ll say it again, I really think the story would’ve worked better if Ra Ik and her had never met before. The whole selling point is that she’s a devoted fan defending an idol accused of murder, and that dynamic is compelling on its own. But with a prior personal connection, it kind of undercuts that premise. I don't think she'd even be a fan (or at least a devoted one) if it weren’t for that history/connection, so it shifts the motivation from genuine fandom to something much more personal. That change weakens the original idea and makes the story feel less impactful than it could’ve been.

That said, I’m still invested because of the mystery. The process of uncovering who the real culprit is will be enough to keep me hooked.

A solid start to season 2. It keeps you interested and excited enough to see what’s next for Toma and Natsume.

My rating for this one has been bouncing between a 7.5 and an 8.0 as each episode drops, but episode 14 completely changed the game. It was so good that I had no choice but to bump my rating up to a 9.0. Both leads absolutely devoured their performances, they ate and carried the episode effortlessly.

He asked about the kid? I may have missed that. I recently just skip most of their scenes as they're pissing me off 🤭

7.9 for this masterpiece is a crime.

If they drag this misunderstanding out for another episode, I’m officially declaring emotional damage, and Akin is the sole cause. Someone please knock (or slap) some sense into him.

Yes.

I still stand by my initial reaction that this has been a bit overrated. It was definitely cute with some charming moments, but it didn’t quite live up to all the hype surrounding it.

No physical intimacy nor kiss scenes yet, and with only two episodes left, I’m starting to think there might not be one at all, and I’m okay with that.

Their relationship has been developing slowly, and introducing physical intimacy now would feel awkward. For me, what really stands out is the emotional connection between them, the quiet moments, the unspoken feelings, and the trust they’re building.

So yes, the romance leans much more toward emotional connection than physical moments. Beyond that, the drama really shines in its comedy, it’s hilarious, and that’s what I enjoyed the most.

Adult fans like her are the ones keeping their idols’ careers thriving. In our fandom, A'TIN, and I'm sure in other fandoms too, it's become an inside joke that we grind so hard at work just so we can afford merch and make it to concerts. That’s the reality of adult fangirling... juggling responsibilities, deadlines, and bills while budgeting for albums, lightsticks, tour tickets, and that one piece of merch you swore you wouldn’t buy 😁

Then why wouldn't he just confront Than and ask him to explain? He's an idiot.

Liking him a lot in Nice To Not Meet You.

He is also the manager and creative director of the ppop group ALAMAT.

To add, the actor portraying him is doing an excellent job.

As of episode 14, aside from Lim Hyeon Jun, Director Byeong Gi has officially become my other favorite character. His presence and development really stood out to me.
