the source is the web novel, which YuRa exists, but they still changed her characterization in the drama.

I loved this. the characters struggle with real issues, and the storylines are so tear jerking, with heart warming moments. the portrayal of the savant syndrome is better here than the Korean version (my personal opinion).

fan of Ueno Juri and Naohito for many years and they are great here as well.

very happy with the ending. particularly Joo Ran, I love how she's liberated and happy, independent, purposeful.

Glad the wedding scene is so grand and the pics are beautiful!

Certain episodes needed a tighter pace but in the end all the characters and their fate come full circle, which is a wonderful wrap up.

will be watching more Song Ha Yoon's drama. she's great in fight for my way too and will binge her others

the way I understood it was her severe lack of self-trust, especially towards her own choices, and the shaken trust towards relationships is genuinely not easy to overcome in a short time, so she flees the moment she could...

I agree there might be better ways to go about it than not giving the ML the chance to explain, but I thought running away was more reflective of her fears and trust issues..

the latest teaser 🔥🔥🔥

I finally see the purpose of Yura as many already pointed out (and still pondering her role in Ji Hyuk's fate in first life).

I've not read the novel version, but parts of the webtoon showing JiWon leading Soo Min onto darkness (related to the MIL's death) was disturbing to me. I'm hoping with YuRa in the picture, drama Ji Won does not need to taint her own actions further cos the 3 villains will be embroiled in their own tangled web of narcissism, jealousy and revenge.

have had similar thoughts, you've phrased them so well.. I wondered too if Soomin is being built for sympathetic redemption

thanks for sharing. I agree that they are different (except for the main trope and unconditionally loving ML). And I enjoy both in their own ways.

really can't wait to see them 🤭😍

anything is good enough, just to see her character be happier 😭

looking forward to Yang Joo Ran's happy ending too. She deserves so much better and so much more.

though with the limited screentime left, it might just be a few minutes/scenes

I'm in the same camp as you . it's not without flaws but I'm overall enjoying most of it.. the details you point out are spot on

Story is different, PMR travelled 1 year back so time is tight. MMH travelled back 10 years, which I feel gives space for the character growth arc. PMR has a very straightforward almost too easy romance. MMH romance has many turns. Acting is top notch in MMH (supporting characters especially), PMR heads straight into the massive angsty family makjang, MMH has a different type of makjang after the middle point, not everyone enjoys that.

I'm also in the minority where I prefered PMR webtoon to MMH. as dramas I enjoy both in different ways.

I find the chemistry in both dramas awesome. MMH has sweet and tender moments that I appreciate as part of the chemistry.

it depends on what you're looking for and who responds.. ep 14 is not as upsetting as 13 for me

me too, the unpredictable changes are fun in their way

same!

there was one drama 2 years back where we really enjoyed discussing theories in the comment section. but it's really rare I agree.

yup, opinions are fine but gets kinda weird when the drama has moved on, whether for better or worse, but commenters who supposedly dropped the series many episodes ago have not..

thank you for sharing your experiences, it's fascinating indeed, having many ways of evolving Chinese inputs and locals arguing lol. there's so much to learn about each language, I'm inspired by what you shared, to read up, travel more 😊

I'm outside mainland China.. as a Mandarin speaker, we do use phonics in Chinese (hanyu pinyin), for "spelling" and typing Chinese characters..

Baidu app used to have a lot of lively kdrama discussions till they banned kdramas few years back.. definitely interesting to see how viewers in various regions respond!

I'm so happily skipping every scene of Yu Ra muahaha. (would rewatch when the show is over but right now really cannot tolerate her character)
