I mean Knight Flower - so 3 overall, not 3 yet to be released, sorey for confusion

I'm here to see Lee Jong Won - he's gonna have 3 dramas released this year! Hope the other 2 are as fire as Knight Flower.

It's a skip for me. Unless you want something not really engaging to play in the background.

Same! I watched this on Friday and Saturday, and my mood was so good because of it!

In drama FL is 7 years older than ML (32 vs 25).

Tbh, I came here just after watching cdrama "The Hope", which is about teachers trying to get neglected students to enter top universities in a year. It was 30 (!) eps long, but I never got bored even for a moment! Even though the cast was pretty large, they made the watchers care about everybody. It was easy to understand for the most part, even for non-Asians, and tho the romance was not the main focus, the chemistry between the characters was sizzling. So believe me, making an interesting drama about teaching can be done! But here, in ep 7, we still weren't really introduced fully to any student. We barely even saw our teachers in the classroom... I get that the dramas are not comparable, but the conflicts here are just meh... And the romantic buildup leaves a lot to be desired.

OSN has a fantastic, dunno how to call it, but let's say atmosphere. The shots were beautiful, music was fantastic, and I could really feel the struggles and love growing between the main characters. Here we don't really get any of that. It's more politics tbh, but in a hagwon

Don't get me wrong, I like slow dramas. But tbh, each episode could have easily been 1h max, or even 50 mins. Like in ep 5 I think, when the FL was waiting to go in gray witch's office. It lasted for like 3 mins! She was in a cafe, than standing and waiting and looking at the door... like I dunno. Watched 6 eps already and feel like it could be condensed to 3-4 eps. And the ost feels really cheap. Especially the opening and ending feel like from a show from 90s-00s and feel out of place. Also, the show is really hard for non-koreans to understand. I know a bit about Korea, but hell, some of this school stuff is harder to understand than a political drama.

I know that I'm complaining about minor things, I'm still trying to watch more and make an opinion on the rest of the show... for now, nothing extraordinary, I don't really have a connection with the leads yet. Don't feel like they have any specific goal or struggles? Like, I don't feel like there's a lot on the line. I get that the FL has to find her old self and all, but I don't really see she's that much different? And the ML just wants to earn some money I guess. He excels in everything for now so is there even room for growth? Dunno...

Lol. You know that you can have a drama that's funny, unserious, sarcastic AND good? Smh, people need to stop being so mindless and giving every drama 10/10 for just existing.

Ep 30 - best confession scene ever (I mean the teachers). Worth waiting for, for those 30 eps. After much hesitation, I watched the last 10 mins of ep 30 and it's not bad at all? I agree with what was said by the Chinese teacher on the show. We can love somebody else now, but it doesn't mean our past love wasn't true. All the beautiful memories we have - none of them can be erased. So even if the students got divorced / separated, they still had plenty of meaningful and happy moments together. What's important, is that they are still supporting each other. And as for the teachers - they were always arguing anyways. I don't believe they can ever separated forever. They are pretty much destined for each other. They are just a bit too stubborn and hot headed. With the last minutes of the show, I don't see how it could be considered a bad ending.

Damn, are those youth dramas leaving a toll on my poor heart...

Beautiful show through and through. I'd say, a modern youth classic, like 25 21. Every high school student and their parents should see this. Very well reseached show, presenting multiple perspectives on life, and admitting that there is simply no one right way to live it. People can be wrong, but can redeem themselves if they wish to change - even if their mistakes will never be fully erased.

I usually add few criticisms to my final comments, but here I really don't feel like it. Maybe the show was a bit too dramatic for our ML in the last eps, but I can look past it. Over all, I'm in love. Sang Xia best girl. Cried a river.

This drama is fantastic. No idea why so little people have watched it! One of the best chinese dramas imo, and especially within the 'modern' type of dramas. The characters are lovable but realistic, there is a lot of drama so it never feels stagnant and boring, and it's just so well researched and balanced. It's realistic but never fails to be very hopeful at the same time. Love the duo of 2 teachers - none of them is 100% correct in their way of thinking and teaching. I still have to decide if I want to watch ep 30 tho...

Ehh I came here looking for a poster or sth, but got the info that it's pushed to october instead -,- just days after announcing the august premiere....

I got so invested in the first few episodes... and then I just got bored. There are just too many misfortunes happening to the FL. I didn't notice her being clever at all tbh. She's very emotional and pretty unlucky. Like the bartendress' boyfriend is just too much, why add him there? It's not very realistic. It's not a revenge story either, and it isn't fully commited to be a makjang. Many annoying characters, no one to root for - I don't get any satisfaction from watching this anymore... Like I see the production value and the acting is allright, but I'm disappointed overall.

Thank you for the reply. However, even after assuming all of that happened and she wasn't pushed to the present for some reason, her friendship with TS should be on halt when the 'young' Sol comes back to power. Unless of course he was waiting for her knowing that she'll be back after 15 years... cause 'young' Sol would rather be his gf than his friend. Anyway, my point is, the time travel doesn't really make a lot of sense in this series...

Well it changed at least TS's fate - they were never a couple. Honestly, some things were changed, and some weren't, and we never really got any explanation. I just wished there was a bit more thought put behind it...

Well they sure wasted a lot more time showing umbrella flashbacks in the last 5 episodes. Besides, TS mentioned that they've been friends for last 10 years, and she was back to 15 years ago. So it seems to me that he became friends with 'younger' Sol from between the time skips. And yeah, it would have been nice to see imo.

Damn, what a great place mdl became, that I get such a passive agressive comment for a simple criticism. It was never explained how and why the time travel works. And especially the last time travel - didn't that erase all previous time travels? Like TS never being FL's boyfriend. So yes, I don't remember them ever explaining how the secondary couple got together. Especially that FL's family moved very soon. Sigh

But not in the final timeline? Where a lot of things were erased? Like, in the 1st timeline they weren't a couple as well. Or did I miss sth?

I just couldn't shake the feeling that no man would wait for a woman for 15 years and not get into other relationship, especially that he doesn't remember her/ know that she loved him... But it's also fitting here, I can't deny 😆 they delivered it so well
