MLL 6/10 every scene with the ex-gf brother adversely impacted my enjoyment. Too much time on secondary characters…
Entertainment is highly subjective and many of us can't tamp down the rational side of our brains and simply enjoy these rom-com-fantasy dramas. if the storytelling works.
I will be curious if you finsih it, rate it, as it was one of the weakest 2023 entries on my list this year.

I don't get why people get themselves to 10 episodes in and don't realize a drama is not for them, In my case…
Romance, Comedy and Fantasy DWY has been one of the better RCF's this year, expecting it give it 7.5-8 at the end. The casting of these two together was an excellent decision.
Why ’doesn’t jang sinyu just break up w his fiancée nayeon? He clearly doesn’t love her, and has feelings…
That isn't the case if you're paying close attention. He dumps her when she shows up uninvited in EP3 when she tried to deposit her toiletries at his condo. She didn't have the passcode or anything of hers, complains he never tells her anything important, makes time for them. There's zero evidence of any intimacy. He doesn't like her physical contact, refuses to permit her to take a picture at restaurant. No rings, no couple photos. She intrudes at his office, the cafeteria and he's uncomfortable. It's accurate to describe this as a hostage situation where his father, stalker 2FL refuse to respect his wishes and keep interfering in his life.
Anyway, I decided to start “My Lovely Liar” & “Live Your Own Life” to keep myself occupied with dramas…
MLL 6/10 every scene with the ex-gf brother adversely impacted my enjoyment. Too much time on secondary characters that add little to no value to the story. Best of luck
That's is an astute observation, you could assert its used for misdirection.
From experience being sent down a rabbit hole too often, I've learned to ignore them. *Subs aren't available in some cases and I get why they try to spice up the end, teaser for next episode.
Most viewers are missing the Synopsis Genre Tags: Comedy, Romance, Drama, Fantasy*
Eun Wol / Myung Eun plays a support role as but her limited lines lay out the story
Father was afflicted but the family curse has moved onto the son. The father knows its incurable but keeps pushing his son to do things he doesn't want.
ML is diagnosed with an incurable disease because its genetic.
Shammy (Eun Wol) ordered ML stay away from Shrine.
FL hears voices at Shrine (faints) meets ML mistakes him as a Grim Reaper.
Eun Wol gives instructions to ML and FL throughout the series
FL is the owner of the box, EP12 she's reading the book and hallucinating she's the author of the book.
She's remembers ML's comments about seeing her in a past life through dreams or hallucinations. (Asleep and awake) is now having them. (Pit and at her residence)
ML is told by Eu Wol he's responsible for her death (He also has dreams, hallucinations of her in a past life)
It would be coherent to accept these as facts, even if we don't know the underlying reasons he killed her(yet).
Aeng Cho (FL) in the past life may have realized in a future self she could reunite with the ML because of the curse. She knew they couldn't be together in that life.
Present day She will lift her curse and they will be together.
> ML drank the love potion > The love potion worked. ML started to have feelings for FL by force > But it was…
Both ML/FL were fighting their destinies at several points. ML is rational and understood his ex was seen a Princess etc FL had her one-sided crush that quickly dissipated by spending time together. 😂
The comic relief is watching ML/FL argue with each other, get drunk, confess their insecurities, deny their own attraction for each other.
Haven't watched EP12 yet but I keep getting reminded of Secret Garden.
I am on episode 4. Can someone quickly tell me if he likes her only because he is under the love potion or do…
Very early on: The eyes don't lie
The Spell is blamed, 2ML gaslights them to cast doubt of magic ML/FL both didn't want the attraction and blamed the Spell.
She meets him 2x at his office and their gazes are long (sparks) She's embarrassed/angry over her fainting at the Shrine and saying out loud "he's a handsome Grim Reaper Tea house date" He gives her the Nursing Home contact information after FL admits to being lonely and resolving the Shrine situation may end her being an outcast at City Hall.
Discover FL is the miracle to ending his pain/curse. Killed her in a past life.
Finds her crying, gifts the owner the box Takes her for a trip to perform the Spell and can't help but be inexplicably drawn to her. (Harry Potter reference at flower scene)
Both ML/FL didn't plan or want this to start between them. FL creates a Love potion for her one-sided crush 2ML that has rejected her.
ML is already jealous that FL is interested in 2ML and is thinking about her FL is worried about ML Both are angry at each other after learning ML drank the Love Potion.
Chaos erupts between them with his cringey behaviour but it successful in ending her loneliness and being treated as an outcast.
EP 4-5 YDCBSAI: Your destinies cannot be severed, accept it
2nd trip Unwittingly joins her on the commemoration day for her father and she falls asleep again with him. (She trusts him)
His irrational behaviour is still being blamed on the Love Potion*
I'd advise don't get hung up on that exclusively but enjoy their banter, chemistry between them.
Secondary characters interfere and cause problems for the pairing between ML & FL.
Enjoy this non-linear rom com, thriller, fantasy story.
I finally want to see a romance drama without a murder plot again!

The more I watch DWY I'm reminded of Secret Garden with both leads having hurdles to overcome.Fantasy, drinks,…
Do you see the similarities of the leads? SG FL a crush on Osaka (the socks, does the foot bounce, grinning) DWY FL has a one sided crush with 2ML does similar facial reactions, foot bounce) ML's in are talking to themselves trying not be interested in FL Chaos erupts as they become obsessive, jealous and protective.
FL didn’t have any relationship with Ml up until he told he broke up…it’s not glorified cheating if ML and…
You must be watching another drama ML has repeatedly asked for a break, ended EP3 at his condo There's ZERO evidence of an intimate relationship and feels like a hostage situation.
FL and Father play rude, dishonest, manipulative roles towards the ML/FL.
There's no relationship between FL and 2ML either, she briefly has a one-sided crush. 2ML is unhappy FL has no butterflies, romantic interest.
The stalker ex kidnapper (2FL) can't accept the wishes of the ML and won't give time.
It's funny how you can't accept ML/FL weren't trying to fall for each other (the opposite) and feelings developed organically.
EP1 He felt bad for FL, helped her, Eu won informs ML FL is the owner of the box and his miracle.
A few critics can't accept the destiny of the ML/FL and are doing everything to ruin it. Feel free to grab some POMs POMS and yell cheaters!
You can't apply rational thinking.
Unbelievable!
I can't believe that person is that stupid!
Seriously, are you kidding me?
Should be the normal thoughts you have when watching them.
2FL is the daughter of the Mayor, "coincidently" finds work on the first floor of the building he just moved to?
ML isn't an idiot and keeps trying to achieve an amicable end. The Mayor works one floor above?
A co-worker spreads the news of ML and 2FL dating and she's the daughter of the Mayor.
This has always been a sham relationship.
2FL negotiates a deal to spare her the embarrassment but its simply a stalling tactic by the hostage taker.
ML is correctly thinking to not start a new relationship publicly so FL isn't targeted by Mayor or office workers.
Beach scene both ML/FL acknowledge people will react negatively.
(People are easily manipulated)
There's a normal delay in admitting your feelings and being able to act on them
Eu Wol "Love is messy" DWY
Both tried to deny their feelings and drew "red lines", excuses why the feelings weren't real.
In 99% of these dramas the 2ML/2FL don't leave quietly and the ML/FL are on the same page.
I will be curious if you finsih it, rate it, as it was one of the weakest 2023 entries on my list this year.
