This is a tough remark... could you give us more details about what you hated?

I dropped on episode 11... but I do remember why, lol

This is far from light and easy... but in my personal experience, it was beyond frustrating and I had to drop it after forcing myself to watch half of it.

I don't recommend watching it. It is a classic, and it was popular by the time it came out, but the male main lead is the biggest red flag ever, the female lead is in love with his friend most of the show, the friend is what you wouldn't want as a friend and the bullying setting is too much at times. If you feel like you want to watch despite all this, be my guest.

For a person that hates love triangles like me; watching this would be torture.

I may give it a chance after I finish "Radio Romance" (By the way, planning to skip the love triangle guy there; I am only on episode 4 and he is already getting on my nerves).

This is a different topic, but I still want to bring it up! I am only on episode 4, but I already know a lot about the love triangle because I did my research; and while I plan to skip as much as I can to enjoy only the main couple, I hate how this other dude uses any opportunity to touch or get way to close to the FL... I understand if some dramas have love triangles, but most of them have one or even more which should be a device to push the main leads together, bring up some jealousy or even for the main leads (as a couple) to bring us the satisfaction that these extra people were unable to even put a dent in their relationship, but back to your comment; what's the point of dragging on a love triangle when the main leads are meant to be together... I don't see how useful is to cause angsty and unnecessary moments just because...

That was spot on! There are too many dramas that do that exact same thing; the man feels uncomfortable and is even kind enough to tell his girl before hand, but she still goes out of her way and allow all of the advances from this other guy, and if the boyfriend dates to heavy sights will be more than enough for her to be upset for days and they will only resolve the issue if he apologizes, and sometimes even after she purposely "punishes" him for days even after she is not even upset anymore... I guess all this is because the main target for Dramaland is still women, so writers will feed into all those fantasies, including keeping all prospects close with no consequences whatsoever. Additionally, if any of those things would be the opposite, and it was a guy keeping a girl that likes him close even after rejection, hell would break loose and he is a piece of you know what.

It seems to be "Lee Kang".

This is a common trope in Dramaland, where instead of completely closing the love triangle having the third person either exiting the show, or cut contact with the female lead they act like nothing even when we all know that deep down this other guy still likes the girl, but is keeping a close distance with the excuse of friendship. And to your point, I would never be a friend with the guy that likes or liked my girl, nor would I feel comfortable if that guy was still her "friend".

Thank you! That's a bit late, and I don't want to invest that much time for just a few episodes of their relationship; I'll pass on this one!

No recycled tropes or cliches! You don't need love triangles and stupid misunderstandings when you have an actual plot! Well done!

Hello! Is it true that the break up in "Crush" is from episode 15 to episode 20?

I don't agree with some of your points, but I still appreciate this list, and will make sure to check out the shows that I have not watched yet.

That's still a love triangle in my book... if someone likes ML or FL, or want to have a relationship with one of them for a h reason is a Love Triangle for me, because one way or the other, this character is interfering with the main couple's romance...

Indeed!

Why...?

While it is true that all side stories were left unfinished, I appreciate that the main leads got their happy ending in the form of what will be their day by day, loving each other in their unique way.

I am afraid that if they were to do a second season it would focus too much in a love triangle; one that would make no sense because the other guy is not even close to having a chance. On the other hand, if they were to resolve that love triangle and just give us more sweet moments and development for the main couple, and tie up things with everyone else getting their respective partner; then it could be worth it. But no second season is needed.

I am actually glad that this does not have a second season.

Fortunately, that was short and pushed the main couple closer together. I am more annoyed by the red hair friend crushing on Ja Rim (FL), even after a friend in the past got between him and his girlfriend at the time, even though he didn't and wouldn't cause a dent on the main lead's relationship...
