Btw a spoiler on what happened in the past for those interested. Pretty much explains everything that happened…
To be honest even without the spoiler I suspected they broke up cuz he didn't want to study abroad. This drama is far from unpredictable but I like it. So far it's been very slow and soothing even though there is a conflict between them.
That's a common trope. One gets a chance for better career, rejects it, bonus points if doesn't tell their partner about it. Then the other one breaks up "for their own good".
I like this drama so far but there is only one complaint I have.
I wish we would see the past first or the majority of it. Going back and forth in time is tiring. It's like as soon as I get the romance vibe they force me into friendship/admiration vibe and when I come to terms with it they go again with the romance plot.
So yeah, the plot is good but the editing could be better.
so he did that and still active still has roles as recent as 2024 but people do drugs and they lose their careers…
Yes it's ridiculous but it's pretty obvious why.
Young actors who lose their careers over nothing have young fans who 'cancel' them. He does not.
Other than that he's pretty old so he's been in the industry for a long time. Why does it matter? Because he's got loads of connections. The fact that he got busted for pimping out young actress with a promise of getting a role says it all. He certainly doesn't lack power in this industry.
Furthermore he was kinda cancelled for about 5 years (2002-2007) judging from his filmography.
What's really crazy is that he got 160 hours (a month) of community work for it while you can see people go to jail for doing drugs or gambling.
I honestly regret visiting this page. I didn't want to know all that...
We got a perfect setup with the flashbacks but the show lacked depth in the final episodes. I really thought it would be more slice of life.
I must say that you have really optimistic interpretation of the ending.
- The Rational Life
- Love Scenery
- Love The Way You Are (SITR remake but little to no angst)
- Find Yourself (kinda)

He's got bachelor's degree in 1998 according to Baidu so he must have been about 22 yo that year. 1998-22 = 1976.

But I wouldn't worry too much since the director is Ahn Pan Seok.
I watched several of his past dramas and not one had truly bad script.
Till the very end I did not realize that the lead actress is PMY even though I watched multiple dramas with her before this one.
Anyways, great drama. It even aged well.
In comparison to Love Next Door this one is more chill; more rom-com, less life
The whole point of the og series was growth and coming to terms with your own feelings...
The problem with dragging is not length but writing.

It's not like they are friends. She just came back to use him and he let her. How is this strong?
Honestly my brain stopped working around episode 17. The whole ex-wife situation and FL being pretty much okay with this made no sense to me.
