I like it, but people's opinions are subjective, so just try and drop it if you are not interested.

We will probably see MuJin and AengCho again in the last 2 episodes, because it was not shown how the wooden box with the books landed at the abandoned shrine and why MuJin asked his descendants (apparently he got married after Aengcho's death and had children) to take care of the shrine from generation to generation. Did MuJin managed to get back the wooden box and place it, where SY later found it? The story regarding spell books is not finished yet.

I personally have no idea yet how/whether the spells work. Initially I thought that these spells make no sense, because SY was already attracted to HJ before she used the love potion. We can see it in the scene where HJ confessed to JK and he rejected her, then appeared SY and was behaving like a boy that is hurting the girl he is secretly attracted to.
I thought that Aengcho encoded important message in the spell book, but after HJ burned already 3 book leaves I understood that this idea was wrong, because it would be difficult to decipher the message without these leaves. So now I don't know. But I like to read other's people ideas.

For people who didn't decide whether to watch this drama or not. I suggest to watch at least 3 episodes. I got really interested around episode 3/4. So far I like the storyline and receive aesthetic pleasure from watching the love story of two beautiful people

I have so many theories and so many questions. I think there is a curse and there is somebody's dirty game or revenge. And I think these are two separate things in this drama.

The bloody hand on SY's face is related to the curse. The shaman Eunwol claimed that it is the hand of the woman whom SY killed in his past life and is bearing the consequences now (his disease). I am curious who was that woman? Eunwol told that HJ was the real owner of the wooden chest. And HJ finds out that the author of the spell book inside that chest was shaman Engcho. Was Engcho also the author of the black magic book? Engcho was killed by a man named Jang Mu Jin, who was apparently SY's ancestor. So, was SY that ancestor in his past life? Was HJ Engcho?

The person behind the cursed doll on a tree probably is not related to the curse. I think it is somebody, who is playing dirty games/taking revenge? And his targets are both SY and HJ. So, what did HJ and SY do to cause such revenge? Who is so angry with both of them?
- Is it somebody related to the Haum construction? SY was the lawyer on the case regarding the worker's death. Also because of SY Haum's CEO was forced to apologise to the female lawyer. But HJ is not related to Haum, she just checked out complaint.
- Was it organized by the furious girlfriend NY?
- Or is it somebody, who envies SY's wealth and status?
- Or is it somebody, who was still using the abandoned shrine for rituals or was looking for the books of magic and was furious when the temple was demolished/ books were taken away because of HJ and SY?
So many theories.
I am also curious about the identity of the person, who was present late at night at the abandoned shrine when the young vlogger died there. The vlogger's last words were, that there was somebody there. I think this anonymous person might be related to the accident with the fish in the lake (episode 1), before HJ's transfer to the City Hall. HJ suspected, that somebody did a sort of ritual and wanted to check cctv. Also this person seems to be behind the blood stains on the signboards of trees at the park (ep. 5). I am looking forward to watch new episodes!

So, apparently, the strange guy that followed HJ in the dark alleyway near her house is the same person, who has stolen HJ's pajama and put on a tree the cursed doll. And I might be wrong, but I think that NY is involved in that, maybe she instructed somebody to do all that mess, because all these things started after NY spotted HJ and SY on the street. NY is a double faced person, she was cheating on SY, but is still determined to marry him and of course she was mad to discover that he hass feelings to HJ, she definitely hates HJ and she bullied her in the school, so she was never a friend of HJ. And I think, as a girlfriend of SY, she probably knows about the story of his family and where the haunted shrine was located. The ML is also suspecting the SML, but I personally thing that JK is not a bad guy, he is just a person with a messed up family relationship. Regarding the garden owner, he has definitely mental issues and if he is involved in that, then he is not the main villain and is instructed by somebody. But these are only my
theories.

I did not watch the last two episodes of this drama, but reading the spoilers I guess how it ended. For the people who did not watch yet or who do not know whether to watch this drama I suggest to give it a try, I personally found it interesting. I just want to mention, that this drama is only based on the webtoon, it was modified story and has different (not from the webtoon) ending. Here I would like to give my personal opinion about the characters.

Lee Seung Chun: He is beloved and loving son, brother and friend. He is very smart and kind hearted. The only drama in his life is the poverty of his family and as a consequence bullying in the school and struggles to survive. He decides to use the golden spoon and this is where the biggest drama in his life starts. Of course, considering all his struggles, he desired to be rich, but I think the driving force behind his dramatic decision was to save his family from suffering and give them decent life. So, I would not call him selfish. He was just a desperate child at that moment, who considered golden spoon as a quick solution for all the problems. I think the turning point for him was the false accusations of Tae Young and the bridge accident with him. This is where he was not sorry for Tae Yong to exchange his life with him (later he apologized for that). He got money but he stays kind hearted. He tries to help his family and saves Tae Yong and his friends from bullying. Nevertheless, he became also possessed by the money and did not want to return to his former life, which caused the biggest drama of his life. He paid his price, he lost his father and family. I did not watch the last episodes, but I know that he will live under different identity and since his golden spoon was with him, he will remember everything after he will use it. I think he can become friend with Tae Yong and still be around his real family, not as their son and brother, but as a friend of Tae Yong.

Hwang Tae Yong: As a little child he lost his real parents (he did not know that his real father died many years ago), who I guess dearly loved him. Although he was raised in a rich family, but by the people who never loved him. Moreover, he was continually psychologically traumatized by his fake father and Joon Tae. I was feeling sorry for Tae Yong and was mad when he accused Seung Chun in the school and did not call rescue services after the accident on the bridge. But at the same time, I understand that Tae Yong did not intend to kill Seung Chun, he was just a stupid coward teenager, who was always manipulated by his father and afraid. Everything started to change for him after the golden spoon, it was actually the turning point for his character development. The love entered his life. He got a real family that he never had, the love and support of parents and sister, friends. His values and priorities have changed, he became a better person, loving, caring, confident, responsible. He did the right decision, choosing the family over the money. He is actually the one who at the end of the day managed to take care of and provide financial stability to the family. I like the development of his character.

Oh Yu Jin: She comes from the poor family, I don’t know/remember where was her mother (maybe she died), but apparently she was raised only by her father, who was always drunk and cruel to her. She used the golden spoon and exchanged her life with the ill girl (from the rich family) that was nice to her. This was selfish and cruel decision. But again, at that moment Yu Jin was a little unhappy cruel child that never experienced love, even from her own father, and the children and adults around her felt only pity on her. How is the child grown in such environment can learn to feel remorse and love towards the others? Seung Chun was also poor but he had loving family and Tae Yong had nice memories about his mother and got great people as his family later. Yu Jin’s new father, who is far from being called a good person, was the only adult example for her, well at least he was not drunk and cruel to her. Yu Jin is presented as a cold, manipulative, cunning person. But at the same time, it was shown that she visits the grave of the dead girl, whose place she took. I guess the person, who does not feel at least a bit sorry, will not do it. Also, she keeps to financially support her biological father, who was only drunk and cruel to her. Will a person without any feeling do it? I think no. She herself humiliated Joo Hee and the others, but she also interfered when her new father humiliated the family of Seung Chun. Yu Jin is a very controversial character, I personally find this character interesting. She reminds me the character of Maria Regina from Brazilian tv series mild poison. She had psychological trauma as a child, became cruel, cold, hating all the world but at the same time genuinely falls in love but unfortunately cannot change the character. Her punishment I guess is that het adorable daughter was kidnapped. Well at least, the child was kidnapped by the real grandfather, who I hope will either take care of her (he failed to do it with his own daughter) or to give back the child to the family for the money. Anyway, I hope everything will be good with the child and child will some day reunite with the parents.

I cannot say much about Na Joo Hi, because I found her character was constantly positive throughout the series. She also, I think, grew up without mother, but her father adored her and loosing father was a big drama in her life.

In fact, each of the 4 main characters experienced drama in their lifes and I hope the rest of the life will be happy for all the 4 characters.

Of course Love ft Marriage and Divorce production team will schedule/announce soon either season 4 or the movie (just like with sex and the city, where tv series was followed by the movie). Otherwise, the finale episode of season 3 looks unfinished. I am sure the writer does not have script plan, otherwise I don´t get why exactly the same wedding scene of Seo Ban and Song Won was shown at the end of season 3 and then of season 4. It is just to play with the curiosity of the viewers. I think due to the success of the first 2 seasons, they decided to continue the filming further and changed the initial script, or maybe they didn´t even have fixed script from the beginning and looked at the reaction of the viewers and decided to continue with the show. I know that the writer for all the 3 seasons was the same, but season 3 was directed by other people. I don´t know whether directors can influence the script? I am also sure that the cast does not know what will happen with their characters , they receive the script for each new episode step by step (as in the case with Penthouse).
I still have some questions/ need clarification (addressed rather to the writer and production team). Just to mention few questions/comments regarding season 1 and 2:
I understand that the ghost of SYS´s father could not find peace because of Dong Mi, but why he was shown as a pervert, looking at the bodies of young girls in the pool. What was the point of those pervert scenes? What was the story of SPY´s strange aunt, why did she hate SPY´s mother and wished her to go to the hell? What was the point of SPY´s dream scene where she and Seo Ban kiss in the swimming pool (did the writer initially plan to make of SPY and SB a couple)? What was the point to show beginning competition between SPY and BHR for Seo Ban at the end of season 2?
Some questions regarding season 3: Song Won´s ghost left the body of BHR and BHR is not surprised that she is again married to PSH? PSH saw Song Won in BHR and is not surprised to not see her anymore ? The angels of death told to SW that somebody in Seo house will die within 1 month after their appearance (maybe the translation is not accurate or I misunderstood something). At that time SPY was around 3 months pregnant, at the end she is in the 8th month of pregnancy (5 months after appearance of these angels) and everybody is still alive. What was the point of the phone call scene of Dong Ma and Ga Bin? If he felt guilty or if he wanted to check whether she is fine, would a straightforward guy as Dong Ma use such tricks as „I misdialled“? What was the secret of Seo Ban?
My imaginations about possible season 4. The writer will very likely put Dong Ma in coma (since he had brain injury). She might put Seo Ban in a condition between life and death (for example after some car accident), and on the halfway to another world with Song Won, he will come back to the world of living. Just I don´t understand why SB and SW are both in the wedding dresses? Other question, what was with the legs of U Ram? Does it mean, he is going to have health issues in season 4? I also think that the writer and production team will do fan service at the end of this project and make happy ending for the couples the fans asked for. I personally do not care what will happen to each character (at the end of the day it is fictional story), I just hope the story will not be cliche.

what I see is that with each episode the characters start to realize something. LSE forgot that she is a woman, not only caring wife and mother, and she realized that, which was shown some episodes ago during her bath scene. SPY realized that all these years she was proud of her successful marriage and behaved with a sense of superiority towards others. A Mi started to realize that she was naive and chose the wrong man. Ga Bin realized that a woman does not necessary need a man to be happy.
I am glad that professor Park chose to do sports instead of suicide or doing something that can make his children to worry about him. I hope that he will accept the fact that he does not have a chance anymore to be a good husband for LSE, but still has a chance to be a good father to his children.
With this writer it is hard to predict something, I will not be surprised if she will leave the end open.

I rewatched SDM and NGB last scene, where he breaks up with her, he told that he loves her, but he needs stronger emotions, and that he is probably emotionally sick. Then he told again that he loves her and that's why he cannot marry her in this state. I don't know if the translation was not accurate, maybe somebody who can understand korean language can explain what did he tell exactly, I am very confused. This guy is indeed very strange

I have no idea about other couples, but it looks like SB -LSE is endgame. I think that Seo Ban´s secret is connected with some kind of psychological trauma in the past and not related to physical health. And apparently, like in many dramas, LSE will help him to heal his injuries. Before I thought, that the writer might reunite LSE with her ex-husband, but the last episode showed it clear that LSE will not return to her ex. The writer will probably make some troubles in SB and LSE relationship, but will put them together at the end of this season. I hope there will not be season 4.

Yes, I remember there was a comment about SPY and SB's brother! After watching the final, I remembered this comment. So, it was you :)

I was initially shocked by the final, but now looking back at the season 2 I see there were some hints for such possible plot twists. Though it is still possible that one of the weddings (or all) was somebody's imagination or dream. It is very likely that there will be season 3, but I don't know when they will film it considering that one of the main leads Sung Hoon is now in talks to lead another drama.

The ending of season 2 is beyond my imaginations :), don't imagine what to expect from season 3. Anyway I will be glad to continue communication with my favorite commentors :)

Agree with you. btw, regarding your question about BHR's racoon eyes makeup removal prior her meeting with Seo Ban, maybe she wanted to make a kind of effect of the light, to give an impression of modesty, authenticity and innocence (qualities that many men are attracted to). A type of trap

I see it differently, I think the ring was a parting gift that symbolized his feelings to Song Won (not engagement ring, because they were parting). The marriage of PSH and BHR was already emotionally damaged before cheating. The day he cheated, both PSH and BHR were ready to divorce, BHR was about to write him "let´s break up", when she received a call that her father had health problems. This was also the reason why he postponed conversation about divorce. And he and his parents were for her in this difficult time and helped to organize medical support for her father. Anyway, It is your right to forive or not. In the latest episodes BHR told to her husband and his family that she want to divorce because she cannot see her husband suffering seeing pregnant woman, organized nice farewell dinner, whereas actually all this time she had her plan: get money from ex, destroy him and his family (harming also people that were not involved in these issues, I mean the workers who work for PSH parents ), marry chaebol´s son Seo Ban. I don´t see her as victim, because she divorced husband who irritated her, got apartment and opportunity to marry chaebol.

weak people revenge, strong people forgive. Revenge destroys good person inside you. She could have focused on good things in her life and move forward, leaving the person who hurt her in the past.

well, this is your opinion, I have mine

Agree, she is rather predator and has already next target Seo Ban. People who judged the lawyer and his family after the press conference didn´t see the complete picture of this divorce and dont know how she was as a wife and daughter in law. I confess that cheating hurts, but still cannot get how she deliberately harmed a person (and his family) who was once an important part of her life. I mean, he and his family were with her and supported her in difficult moments, like when her father had health problems. For sure they shared also good moments with each other.

Narcissist indeed. I remember in season 1 when BHR, SPY, LSY and Seo Ban went to the restaurant BHR was sure that Seo Ban will be blown away by her beauty and was pissed off when he complimented only the witer. BHR told to her husband after that dinner that there is something about Seo Ban that she dislikes.
