I am very disappointed with this one. No wonder people are rooting for the second couple, at least they show some chemistry. The main leads have zero chemistry, and I haven't seen such a bad case of this in kdramas in a long time. I'm not sure whose fault is it, director's, actors'... but I'm very disappointed with Choi Woo Shik over all, he's shown no emotion for most of this drama. Even if his character is hiding his emotions, Kim Jae Wook shows how it should be done. You can see so many emotions in his eyes, compared to CWS... The drama is okayish over all, pretty to look at, not that boring, but has a lot of room for improvement.
Ehhh. All dramas I'm looking forward to just turn bland. I was waiting so long for this one... if When Life Gives You Tangerines disappoints me too I dunno what I'll do -,-

"Actually, I pursued your dad more later on" hahaha FLs mother looked like she had some dirty thoughts when asked why she liked her husband XD

Just what I wanted to write after finishing ep 5. All the superb actors they gathered for this drama act very one note, gloomy and detached, except for Kim Jae Wook (his eyes tell soo much about his feelings) and Cha Woo Min, who at least has a happier attitude. I get that they all struggle with something, but damn, this is hard to watch and believe that their feelings for each other are blooming.

He looks spectacular here, and with his longer hair. I especially noticed it as I really don't fancy Choi Woo Shik's hairdo here...

I see the heavy referencing to OBS, but the starting point is pretty weak - FL being hung up on a guy who ghosted her 5 years ago? In OBS the bad blood between leads made sense cause they dated for a long time before their breakup. But I honestly hardly remember much about my ex from 5 years ago, let alone some guys I knew for a month and they ghosted me...

Exactly 😅 I thought there might have been some buildup that I missed for that scene (like them doing some kind of research/visiting their friend's haunted house/I dunno haha) but I guess there wasnt

No no, I mean the plot before the one you mentioned - there was a recruitment for a government position, ministry of economy if I remember correctly. He tried to get FL to refer his candidate, and when she refused, he got her nemesis to do it. That's what started the conflict between FL and 2ML's father. Dunno how illegal it was for him tho, if he could be prosecuted or not...

I mean, he could have at least apologized to FL.

No idea. No nanny or grandma was introduced other than 2FL's family. And leaving his kid with her while he's on a date feels kinda... weird, considering her past crush on him.

He was trying to force the FL to recommend his candidate for a government position, ans in the end, it was done through her nemesis. Dunno about it being illegal, but it's def unethical. And he was an ass to his son. So imo it shouldn't have ended with their reunion.
Also he's rich, so losing FL's company had no impact on him probably.

Agreed 100%

So 2ml's dad got basically no consequences for how he treated the FL? Treated everybody like they are disposable the whole season, his son included, and changed his attitude after seeing one photo? Very unsatisfactory...

What's with the haunted park scene? Was it for work, or a date idea or sth? The scene felt so out of place...

Haha same thoughts about the opening song. I would add 2nd couple to the best parts list, but they had waay to little scenes.

Hahahahahah I will forever remember it when I hear his name

So anyone who doesn't like an idol getting main lead roles for his looks and popularity only is a troll nowadays? Lol

This is typical kdrama level of ridiculousness. The leads should basically live like monks before they meet each other, and preferrably - until marriage.

Ehhh I hate how the 2nd couple basically spent more time simping over leads than falling in love with each other. Over time, I started to like them way more fhan our main couple, they both seem more human to me. But they got barely like 3 mins this episode, and no screentime in 10th episode? Such a waste.

Yeah! I usually think that it's cause our leads have to be as pure and innocent as can be... so that even if they were in relationships before, the relationships couldn't be serious, you know, as their new relationship should be their first true love in viewers' eyes...

Could be haha
