This is was my first and favorite K-Drama even after 4 years

The good part is that besides the first one or two episodes, their chemistry and flirting moments are very good; light but cute without taking too much away from the E-Sport plot.

This show is another attempt of the writers trying to convince us or getting us immersed with nonsense. One of the oldest tropes is the abusive and jerk guy that's later tried to be justified with a sad past or something when we all know that that's not an excuse and for a girl to fall crazy in love with the guy is just plot armor and nonsense.

Some will call some of this realistic, but if I wanted something realistic I would be watch a reality show or a documentary. I watch romance stories to see how two people truly love each other and are meant to be, but this sounds like an aberration of that...

I am tired of that... love should be rewarding, not a sacrifice for someone that doesn't even deserve it!

What about break ups...? Do they ever break up after they get together? and when do they get together?

I think it is awesome that he is important in season 2, but in season 1, he was a jerk, and his abandonment issues were in his head all along, because that is how selfish he was before the whole "sacrifice" stuff.

Did you ever get the answer to your question?

Can you spoil me and let me know if there is a love triangle in the story, when the main couple get together, do they ever break up, and will they have a happy ending?

His "ultimate sacrifice" doesn't make it up for all the things he has done to harm his own brother and anything and everything that he seems to cares about for centuries...

Waiting for all episodes to air so you guys can tell me when they get together, if they ever break up and If it has a happy ending.

I will never understand why writers like to make us wait for so many episodes for the main leads together, and even worse, when they are about to be together, they start playing with our intelligence with the most stupid misunderstandings. This is why I say that dramas with an actual plot or a good villain should be the goal, and not shows that heavily rely on making us wait or angst or misunderstandings..

You know I meant... the whole plot surrounding the two men even if there are no feelings.

Sold! I am watching this!

They have a break up/separation close to the end.

I don't know what it is, but I feel comfortable watching this one! maybe is the quality of the production or how the characters feel real and not part of a fairytale with a million plot holes, you know, those fairytales where they really have no issues at all, but break up for a misunderstanding; in this one, I feel like they are down to earth and the romance is just beautiful! For me, it is not about dating scenes all happy where everything is superficial, but a story where they truly care about each other and feel something they have never felt before. I usually avoid dramas with break ups because they usually make no sense, but I don't think it will bother me with this one, since I feel that even in the distance how much these two love each other will be palpable!

This is one of the reasons why I don't like shows that relay heavily on love triangles...

Thank you! I am on episode 7 now! so I'll just keep watching this one!

Greetings @bloomintide! I finally caught up and watched the last episode for this one! Like we have been commenting since last week, HS behavior toward TH in the last episodes is not good character development and the introduction of the father ended up only as a plot device to trigger her going away for a year since his character served no other purpose. My biggest complain here is that thanks to that last minute mess all the happy ending moments at the end felt fake for me. He finds her thanks to a coincidence and she claims that she missed him and her family, but no effort could be seen of her getting back to them. I loved the very last scene when she says that they are stuck together and kiss, but there is still a lot of wasted potential here! Having all the father stuff 10 to 20 episodes ago, and have the company issues resolved to close the plot could have been much more rewarding for everyone. An extra opinion about wasted potential goes directed to love triangles; if you read my comments on MDL about love triangles you may think that I hate 2ML but that is not true, since while I consider that this is a waste of screentime and development for the main couple, it is also a waste of potential for the 2ML himself. It is sad that 2ML last "romantic" scene was basically peaking at HS and TH wedding when instead, the writers could have ended the love triangle earlier and even having him falling in love with the other girl gym trainer or something... overall, the show was enjoyable but had a potential to be great and not average at the end. I am taking a risk by watching another family drama, so wish me luck with "My Strange Father".

Greetings! I'll start watching this very soon, but I hate love triangles and misunderstandings, but love healthy couples and happy endings! Can someone spoil me about the romance!? I would like to know what are the different couples in the show and how are the love triangles and misunderstandings here...
