He is a lot sweeter in the K-version, i just wish the episodes were longer.

That's true, i mean you can tell before then that he does like her because he always gets jealous. But he never actually says it or shows it to her after the break up he finally lets it show and lets her know how much she means to him.

I wasn't trying to demand anything or diss anyone either and i'm sorry if it came across that way. I genuinely didn't know where to watch it or how much it would cost. I do think that charging people the price of 2 movies to just watch one is a bit unreasonable especially if it is just one person watching it, but they have to make a profit i guess. But one person would not go to the actual movies and pay for 2 movies when they are just watching one. But if it is able to be downloaded and can be watched over and over then the 12.99 price is more worth it. I have also purchased and watched on vimeo before and i had a horrible experience paid the price of 2 movies just to watch one but couldn't download it and couldn't watch it over again. But i didn't register with vimeo i just watched as a guest maybe that was why, i didn't know you had to register, but maybe to be able to download and watch it again you have to be registered.

I agree with what you are saying somewhat i know they need to be paid for their hard work and i completely understand that and i don't really expect it to be free. However i don't agree with the price you are acting as if everybody should be ok with paying the 12.99 to purchase this, but i don't agree. Yes 12.99 isn't expensive, but as you said that is the price of 2 movie tickets. But if it is just one person watching it is that really fair? If you were just one person actually going to the movies would you buy 2 movie tickets of course not what would be the point. But to watch this movie or special one person has to pay the price of 2 movies to see one that is what i don't agree with. If it is indeed like you said and we will be able to download it and watch it over and over again as much and as many times as we like then ok yes then the 12.99 is worth it. But i personally have paid to watch stuff on vimeo before paid the price of 2 movie tickets because it was something i really wanted to see, and i couldn't download it and only had limited time to watch it before it expired and after it expired i couldn't watch it again without paying again. Of course i didn't register with vimeo i just paid and watched as a guest maybe that was the difference. Do you have to be a registered member to be able to download or watch it again? If so then i can do that and the 12.99 will be worth it.

Yeah they should have explained that in this version for sure so people would be able to understand the character better and why he is the way he is.

I understand what you mean about showing respect, and i honestly don't think he meant to disrespect her he just lashed out without thinking because of his jealousy. And even i realize that he never actually apologized and he should have for sure, but instead of apologizing he would do something nice afterwards to make up for it, but still an apology would have been great. And as far as her liking him so much can't explain that she never actually said why she liked him all i can say about that is you can't control your feelings and the heart wants what it wants i guess. And sometimes when you love someone you are willing to put up with almost anything, it's the only thing i can think of. But i agree he has good and bad points on this show, was so glad when he stopped being a jerk and treating her properly. And i agree with wanting daughters to be with someone who treats them with respect.

Where can you watch this? It says Hulu but i checked Hulu and it isn't on there unless it is under a different name.

Also you were wondering about a backstory, i don't know if this will fully explain his behavior or personality, they didn't explain it in this version but they explained it in detail in the cdrama. His dad died when he was a kid in middle school and after that his mom left and took his little brother with her and went and lived somewhere else and left him a middle school aged kid there living by his self. His mom never came back again until he was a senior in high school, she would tell him several times she was coming back at least for a visit but then would always come up with an excuse they showed it in episode 2 of this version it was the anniversary of his dad's death and his mom was supposed to come back, but she didn't and he was upset about that, that's why he was a jerk to Sol-i in that episode. He was on his own having to take care of himself even when he was sick or whatever was going on from the time he was like 11 or 12 years old, and he told in the cdrama that after his dad died and his mom left him it made him afraid that everyone would leave him so he didn't let people get too close to him or let them in. So maybe that is also a big part of the reason he is the way he is.

He does improve in later episodes, he finally accepts his feelings for her and starts being nice and caring to her, he changes and improves a lot. From what i know there is no backstory to why he is a jerk, because he isn't always a jerk from what i've seen it has been when she is hanging out with the other guy and he gets jealous. When she was running for class president he was a jerk because he saw her running around playing with the other guy, The school play because she was wearing the other guy's jacket when he brought his for her to wear, her birthday with the soccer game it was because he thought she was dating the other guy or at least liked him it has all been out of jealousy. Not defending and saying it's right because it's not but jealousy can make you do crazy things anyone who has ever been jealous would understand. And also i don't understand why people only point out that he is jerk he did do good things for her too, when the teacher was reading her love letter out loud he stood up to the teacher for her, when she lost the money during the class presidency he is the one that found it for her and kept her from being in trouble, when he realized it was her birthday he bought her concert tickets that must have been expensive and didn't even go to the concert instead tried to go to the soccer game because she wanted to and the tickets ended up being fake and they just sat there talking and he wasn't mad about the money wasted on the tickets or the money that she had thrown on the ground, during the field day episode he wore a silly headband just to make her happy, he helped her with the debate in that episode, he was there for her and gave her a shoulder to cry on when her parents were fighting. And that's just in the first 9 episodes, he does even more nice things for her in the episodes after that. Like in episode 10 she gets sick and has to go to the nurses office he records a sweet message for her on his mp3 player and gets on the school intercom and reads a book for her, on episode 11 it's wintertime and cold he gives her his scarf to wear, in later episodes he takes her out to get milkshakes and ends up giving his to her as well because he can tell she likes it, he takes her out another time and buys her desserts and actually feeds them to her, tutors her so she can get into college, he chooses a college close by so he can stay with her she didn't ask him to do that. Not saying that their isn't problems or misunderstandings, i'm just saying he isn't always a jerk he does a lot of good and nice things too. And i just can't understand people who only see the bad in people on shows or in real life. I'm sure everyone in life has done bad things or mean things at one point because no one is perfect, and it would be really horrible if people only saw and pointed out the bad that everyone did and never the good. It just isn't accurate to say he treats her like trash like he does so all the time, he is nice to her just as much as he is a jerk if not more.

The ML is a jerk only because he gets jealous of her and the 2nd ML. But you can always tell afterwards that he feels bad for being a jerk. It's the same in the cdrama except the ML in the cdrama is way more of a jerk then on this show. how he made her apologize after he came back for their relationship falling apart (with a cold look on his face like always) as if it was only her fault the relationship fell apart neither one of them communicated well with the other. The ML in this version is nothing like that, he feels bad after being a jerk, he smiles at her, pats her head, pinches her cheeks trying to be cute with her. The ML in the cdrama never did that. And more importantly the ML in this version did not make her apologize after he came back, he did not act like a jerk, instead he basically told her he came back for her, which was sweet. Not saying that him being a jerk just because he was jealous is right because it's not, but people can be like that when they are jealous even in real life, they can be jerks or become distant from the person or become super clingy to the person people handle it in different ways. But i personally think the ML in this version is way better than in the cdrama. I know everyone has their own opinions and not everyone are going to have the same opinion and that's ok. Some people like the ML in the cdrama and that's fine too, but for me this ML is way better in terms of how he treats the FL.

20 more days and the suspense is driving me crazy!! I hate not being able to figure something out lol!! I've heard so many theories at this point and i may turn out to not be any of those theories. I hope we find out in the first episode, i don't know if i can wait any longer than that to find out what is going on this is already long enough to wait or is it just me?

Exactly!! there was no second season, so if there wasn't going to be on or if they weren't going to do a special then they should have let them get married in season 1 then. At least that's how i feel.

If it isn't his father then i really can't figure out why they would have been apart for so long, considering how much and how long Shi De liked Shu Yi it had to be something serious.

I don't think it was a perfect ending, they did get engaged but it would have been more perfect if they actually got married. Why did the second couple get to get married but not the lead couple? doesn't make any sense to me.

Exactly it might not have even happened if he had been honest and told her about him studying somewhere else instead of her finding out from a nurse. And the ending is ridiculous they are supposed to be the lead couple and they get engaged but don't actually get married which i found odd. Why did the second couple get married but not the lead couple, the lead couple should be the ones to get married in my opinion.

He was always such a jerk though and so cold, i know he did things for her and to help her too, but in my opinion him being a jerk and so mean outweighs any of the good he did. And he kept the fact about him maybe studying somewhere else from her and she had to find out from someone else which is why she got upset and broke up with him. Why couldn't he just be honest and tell her and talk it out and maybe the break up and three years apart wouldn't have happened. Anyways when he was a jerk to her i couldn't sense his love at all, maybe that is just me.

Another thing i don't like or understand about either version is why the 3 years apart? Is that really necessary? And then Jing Chen and Cha Heon come back after 3 years away with no contact and think things are supposed to go back to the way they were before they left that's a little crazy to me. If they had communicated better and been honest about the offer to study somewhere else instead of keeping it from her then maybe she could have went with them or at least had a long distance relationship if that's what they wanted but lack of communication led to the break up and he thinks that she will just tag along and follow him if he goes.

you're welcome!!

I don't think there is a trailer either, there was the small clip from season 2 but that was it would be nice to see a trailer though.

For international fans we can't buy the tickets to watch this that i am aware of i haven't been able to find where to purchase the special episode or tickets or whatever. That's what has me upset i understand they have to make money cause making the show is expensive but for those of us who watched the whole season and really wanted to see TT get married and either can't afford to purchase this or can't purchase where we live it isn't really fair.
