Thank you! I will definitely start watching this right away! The romance is the main driver for anything I watch in Dramaland, and what I've read about this one makes me think that it will be a rewarding experience.

After watching more than 180 dramas by now, I have learned that romance doesn't start when the leads start dating, but from the moment they meet, interact with each other, flirt, date and everything after that! I do not mind for a second if they get together on episode 25 as long as they spend time together and we can see their feelings for each other grow. The key for me is "exclusivity", meaning that even if they are not dating yet, she has a special relationship with him and there are things that are unique for them, things that they don't do for anyone else; that's romance.

I asked about the love triangle because it is one of the oldest trope in Dramaland, so we can assume there is one in most K-Dramas. I don't mind love triangles as long as the lead do not entertain/flirt or spend too much time with that person, or gives them special treatment that reflect a special relationship between them. There are too many K-Dramas where the leads swear that they love each other, but would have a "best friend" or not even that they treat way too nicely, and sometimes even knowing that this person has feelings for them.

I prefer my love triangles short and with a purpose towards plot or character development. In this case, the guy holds on and keeps trying, but if the female lead does not entertain him and it does not affect her relationship with our male lead, it brings the satisfaction of seeing that other guy failing at every attempt.

I will try my best not to fast forward or skip too often at first, but I'll have my finger on the button, since I am here for romance!

Small question before I start watching this... is there any annoying love triangle with the main couple?

That would mean that they never break up throughout the show and that's a must watch for me..!

Greetings! As far as I know, there is no break up for the main couple after they get together, but the show is missing a few episodes. I will wait until all episodes have aired just to make sure.

Thank you!

"The Glory" is a character driven plot but the plot is still good. In the Rom-Com realm, more comedy than romance even, "Welcome to Waikiki" is all around the place when it comes to the plot, and it is all about the characters, and the character development makes more sense. Yes, there are plot holes in every show, but still, the plot must be coherent, it must make sense within its own rules, and Do Bong Soon fails horribly at that. The actors did an amazing job, but the character development was absent throughout the show. The show is funny, but that's about it.

My taste is bad..? Maybe different, but I can assure it is not bad. Do Bong Soon is average at best! The superpowers element and that both leads are cute makes up for a million plot holes in that show. The villain is covered with plot armor from start to finish and even the romance is lacking with several episodes wasted in a love triangle only to make it so the main leads got together because the script said so, and not because of character development... But you can like the old classic tropes and no substance, and if that's what you call good, I respect that.

My research considers a lot of elements and take some time, and still revisit my options just in case, so I'll survive.

This is what happens when you do some research in the comments in MDL before possibly wasting your time on a show ... I do jump in blind every now and then, but this is what MDL is for me.

In the first place, "I don't like" love triangles and that should be enough reason for "me" not to watch them, but if I have to tell you one of the "problems" with Love Triangles is that while sometimes they work as comedy causing jealousy and other times provide us the satisfaction of them failing at every attempt and being rejected and defeated, most of the times is just a literal waste of time, since some people end up developing second lead syndrome for a character that will not end up with the girl because take a guess, he is not the main male lead. Another problem is that it is a waste of time because regardless of the time you invest into that "ship" it will not sale, so you won't get your reward for waiting, and that is time that could be used to develop the main lead's relationship. There are a million reasons, but I'll just give you a third and last one; we are supposed to be immersed in the story and the romance, we are supposed to believe that main leads have true love, but having one of the lead hesitating about another person for too long does not help, and/or the classic trope where one of the leads disrespects their already partner completely by siding with the other person does not help either.

In conclusion, I just don't like them, but as you can see there are many reasons why I find them unnecessary, UNLESS, the love triangle is short and serves a purpose. Love triangles for the sake of using the old classic trope for a million time is for masochists.

Well... this may change things for me then...

If only they didn't waste 10 episodes, and developed more his sport, I would be happy...

I don't like love triangles, so I did stress a little, but it was more my hate for Love Triangles than the Love Triangle itself. The writers make you feel like this other guy is a threat but don't worry about him, he has no chance and the Love Triangle is closed in a timely manner.

The cover shows clearly the female lead with a wedding dress and another guy, and the synopsis of the show is literally the girl trying to get married with ML's brother.. the plot is a love triangle... lol

They get together early and their relationship evolves naturally. Some may believe that they get together even earlier than episode 5 or 6 since they care about each other and get close really quickly. There is a small love triangle, but the other guy never gets even close to the slightest chance to even confess to the female lead, and they are only friends across the whole show with no uncomfortable intimate scenes like some "friends" on other shows. The main leads never break up, but they do spend a lot of time separated but it is because they get busy with their own personal matters so it is not really a "separation", however, they use this to show how much they miss and love each other which is very well done.

Amnesia and Love Triangles..? Sounds like stress to me...

I hate Love Triangles...

The show is great, but it takes too long to become a wholesome story about appreciating what he has in front of his eyes. It is only when he understands that he loved his family, and when the wife realized as well that she had to change as well.

This drama is great! Wholesome and has a beautiful message towards family and communication. However, it is very slow for the first episodes and it takes time really get into the good part. At first it is no more than fantasy/time traveling and "funny" situations as the ML goes into this new version of his present, but it won't be until much later that he starts to appreciate what he has lost and tried to get it back. I loved this show, but I wouldn't rewatch it since I don't think I have the patience.
