I was guilty of underestimating NJH. Not because i was a hater or anything, but because he didn't stand out to me in any of his previous dramas. This character definitely allows him to showcase his talents and shine. I hope he chooses scripts like these in future and not ones where his character is upstaged by a second lead.
Point is i don't think people were hating on NJH just for the heck of it. I mean im sure there were a few haters but most of us were kinda skeptical because we hadn't seen him the right role yet. He's definitely talented and i hope he continues to come in hits like 2521.

If they do something like that....i might destroy things
Also i have my own interpretation of my mister's ending

I know what you mean, prior to this NJH's characters were the sort where others would steal the limelight. Haven't seen start up or bride of habaek but i have seen him in cheese in the trap (didnt really grab my attention beyond being a cute comic relief character) school 2015 ( i had a serious case of SLS which is why i didnt likehis character) and weight lifting fairy kim (which i dropped because i didn't feel anything, no chemistry between the leads which is strange because they were a real couple and i actually liked them as a real life couple. But his character was similar to the one on CIIT)
This is the show where ive seen him shine for the first time, without anyone else stealing the light. Pleasantly surprised by it

What if older na hee do was referring to the memory and not the people when she said "everything is momentary, nothing lasts forever". I mean its possible isn't it that she just meant you dont remember things forever and eventually it "flows away" and that's not always a bad thing (meaning you make new ones when the rush of the old one fades away)

Yep i get my mister feels from the show as well even though it's different. I know people interpreted lee ji an and park dong hoon's love in their own ways which is what's happening here as well. Some see yi jin's love as platonic and others dont. I for one don't think it is platonic.
Same was the case with my mister. When i first started my mister, i was reluctant because of the age gap but then many people reassured in their comments and reviews that it was platonic love. However by the time i had finished the show, i was among the group of people who saw romantic love between them. See, in today's world, most only see love in one light. But love, true love, is very different from that. Lee ji an and park dong hoon shared that true love (the age gap didn't bother me because of the way it was portrayed) and so do baek yi jin and hee do (so far atleast from what ive seen)

I honestly think adult hee do not remembering the beach trip could mean 2 things:
1) the obvious one that there was an accident, yi jin died and hee do either lost her memories or blocked it all out
OR
2) this is just a plot device to make us think that option 1 is the way the show is going :P that there is no "logical reason" behind her forgetting....she just did forget and that's all.

I think if yi jin really was dead, then hee do would want to cling to every little detail of their time spent together. Even if they broke up and it was an ugly break up, she'd still want to remember the good times.
I wrote in a diary regularly when i was a pre teen. I sometimes go through my diary and read everything (even the painful parts, and trust me there were many) because it reminds me of how far I've come. So i find it hard to believe that hee do doesn't remember because of a tragic event. Amnesia seems less likely since she remembers everything else.
I'm leaning more towards the theory that there were so many happy moments that she eventually forgot the very first one.
Of course at the end of the day i could be wrong since im not the one writing and making the show.

Goblin faced a ton of backlash too. I remember how it was when it was airing. People completely ignored the fact that it was a freaking fantasy show and kept hating on it. The same happened with the masterpiece My Mister. The show hadn't even started airing and people had begun hating on IU. Relax. These shows became hits despite the hate and this one won't be affected much either. Its one of the top airing shows so everything people discuss about it (negative or positive) will make headlines. After all its all publicity, good or bad. Look at all the concerns people had about snowdrop. It still finished airing didn't it?

People had a issue with it in goblin as well i remember. But it's stupid to start applying rules of real life to a fantasy show (referring to goblin here).
Its stupid to do so here as well because 4 years is nothing.
I dont remember people having an issue with the age difference in my roommate is a gumiho. The ML was supposed to be ancient in that and a teacher too. No one had an issue then. There are so many shows that were more romance heavy with age differences greater than this but no one said anything and now suddenly they are making it seem like BYJ is some kind of creepy man grooming a child. Come on.

I cannot wait for this to start airing. It looks so good from the teasers!

Yeah I've heard that the SLS was pretty bad in reply 1988 😂

Yeah. I remember when i was watching reply 1994, i was absolutely sure about who the male lead was. Like i literally had no second thoughts about it, because for me it was just so obvious despite the makers trying to make it seem otherwise. Which is why I was satisfied when i saw that i was right. I haven't watched the rest of the reply series (Mainly because while i see that the shows are well made, i don't really watch this genre a lot so watching reply 1994 was enough for me). Im hoping my gut feeling is right in this show as well.

Is there any possibility that min chae is yurim's daughter and the "husband" they keep talking about is actually yurim's husband? That yurim may not be alive and passed away when her child was only an infant, leading hee do to adopt her. Maybe yurim's husband didn't want his daughter know about her mom's death (especially if she died during childbirth). What im basically asking is that has it ever been clarified that hee do id married? Like has she ever said so when min chae is not around?
I would really like to know why people are so sure that yi jin and hee do aren't together because I've been seeing a lot of stuff about why it COULD be a yi jin and hee do are still together ending, but not much on why it couldn't. (Other than the name Kim and min chae not recognising yi jin when he was young )
If someone could let me know, i think I'll have a better understanding and perspective on what i should expect from the show

I could be wrong about this since im not exactly watching the show only following the clips on Instagram, but if someone could clarify something (putting it as a spoiler just in case)

I don't think ive ever been this emotionally invested in a show im not watching 🤣 hopefully I'll be able to watch it once it finishes airing

And I'll cry with you 😭

Ive actually been wanting to watch it for a loooong time cuz lee joongi is one of my favourite actors. But i cant seem to get beyond the first episode. Its still on my to watch list though so definitely going to get to it
I watched beyond evil right before i put on flower of evil so maybe that's why

Naahhh, i absolutely steer clear of rom coms. This one caught my interest because of how uplifting the dialogues are and it kinda reminded me of my mister (in a small way). I can't seem to explain it very well, but basically even though this has funny moments, it is at core a deep and thought provoking story which is why i would watch this
I tend to watch dark intense stuff. Mostly thrillers (voice, kingdom, kairos, hometown, stranger, signal, tunnel, liar game hellbound, train, save me, you know, stuff like that). So i don't see myself watching a business proposal. I saw clips on Instagram and it's definitely not my kinda show :P but thankyou for the recommendation :)

Exactly

Reaaallly hoping this ends well so that i can binge watch it
This show is far from my usually kdrama genre but the clips on instagram and fmvs on youtube have intrigued me. I have a feeling that i will love this show (provided it ends well).
I know sad endings are usually not a deal breaker for most. Many people can simply overlook a sad ending if the rest of the show is amazing....but I've had enough sadness in my life. Im at a particularly low point in my life and i just want to smile while watching this show
Here's to hoping it ends well then I'll watch it. If not, then i guess i wont. Don't need more sadness.

Yeah as long as the main cast is still there, im happy. And i doubt they'll cast someone else as the same character. They'll probably just write her out
