I was looking for this review! Couldn't agree more. I really enjoyed the show, but if you asked me what happened in those 16 eps - I wouldn't know what to say, apart from a lot of fluff 😆 I wouldn't say I agree with the overall rating it got, as it's crazy high, but I can't really be mad at it, like with some other overrated shows. It could have been a lot more, but I'm also content with what we got.

It's pretty nice! Tho a lot of things could have been done better. The whole murder mystery didn't do it for me. The time travelling was a mess (especially the final timeline, why did the 2FL get together with Sol's brother? And how did Sol become friends with 2ML? So many questions), and secondary characters could have gotten more screentime overall. But the chemistry between the leads works really well. Recently in dramas I started noticing that the creators don't know how to keep the romance going after main leads get together, and we get way too little scenes of main leads together. Here we got a lot of them, so pretty neat I'd say! Definitely an unrealistic (even without time travel), but a really compelling and conforting show.

Agreed. Though still better than what they did with Flex x Cop final episode... smh

The current state of the world isn't only a product of the past; it's the result of ongoing bad decisions by humans of all ages

Right. But our youngest generations had barely any time to participate in that, being, like I said, adult for like 10 years tops. When they are in position of power, then you will have the right to judge and criticize them. Right now, there is no way of knowing, and especially blaming them for things they haven't done yet.

> Mountains of waste - do you seriously believe that it was caused by, at most, 30 year olds? Who have been legal adults for just over a decade?
> Following latest trends - as if younger generations didn't follow trends while they were teenagers/young adults... Sure. Sigh.
For the people behind today's world's state, maybe look into the goverments & big corporations. LED BY 50-80 YEAR OLDS.

I guess you are a psychic and can see into the future - good for you I guess.

Woah, what a reach. From the series' bad rating, to global catastrophe. Let me tell you, while I wholeheartedly agree on MDL's ratings (tho for me, a 7.5-8 rating is okayish, but yeah, a lot of romcoms' ratings are inflated nowadays), older generations have quite a trackreckord of destroying the world. The pollution, climate catastrophy, the wars that are going on rn - all thanks to the people that are in their 50s-80s rn. So your comment is truly laughable to me.

Even after reading the reviews here, I wasn't prepared for how explivit this show would be - I mean, for a show in SK? It's just wild. But in a good way!
It could def be better, but for what it is, it was pretty good! Especially Hee Jae's and the psychologist's plot was pretty nice. (Although her encouraging him to enter the relationship with her could be perceived as icky if roles were reversed...). The 2FL's plot was a bit too shallow for my liking and didn't get enough screentime. But for a short series, my heart still skipped a bit more than one time. Recommended if you want something more than the vanilla from most kdramas, where 30 yo act like they are shy teenagers when it comes to sex.

To be more specific, I kinda feel that GP's character development ended on the kiss episode. MY's bullying storyline was really badly wrapped up (from GP's side - she blamed him without hearing the full story, he broke up with her and then they reconciled without much reasoning behind it.), so I can't really count it as a development moment for GP. I think that the first time storyline had a huge potential - of course the message of waiting until one is ready is important, but it can be pointed out that sex with a loved one can be a really beatiful thing. I'm disappointed cause this storyline is barely ever covered in kdramas. (One of the very few that handled it well is It's ok thats love.) And here this plot just ends abruptly - GP was told to think if she really wants to do it with MY, and then she doesn't. I mean, at some point in life intimacy is really important, and with her being 21 I really can't blame MY for having hope. I really feel that he's the more supportive and undestanding one in their relationship, while she is unsure of him and their relationship. Really wish there was a S2 but there is of -100% chance of that...

In the last week of August, the women-centered K-drama Jeong Nyeon will air next. - that's all I got from this article. FANTASTIC! But sad for RP nonetheless. I think they have huge hopes for it, and that's the reason for delay.

Imo, Salon de Nabi has the same problem that most medical dramas have - while the focus on patients - and here, customers - brings a nice perspective, there are just too many characters and plots. You will most probably feel that your favourites didn't get enough screentime when you finish the drama - even the main leads. I was pretty frustrated tbh. I mean, even the hairdressers and interns were a crowd already, and add the customers - there is simply not enough time for all of them.
Let me tell you, I am a sucker for romance. And it had soo much potential here - but there was just too little screentime. Don't get me wrong, it was still pretty special and different from the usual romance dramas - but there could have been so much more. When the main couple got together, I honestly had butterflies in my stomach, and awaited what's to come for them - but let me tell you, it's not much. In the first few eps their pace was soo fast, faster than in other dramas - and then it basically stopped, leaving some plots unresolved.
But the drama is still very good nevertheless. It has some of the most realistic characters I've seen in a while - they are not one -dimensional caricatoures just for comedy sake. I'm just sad that just a bit more time for main characters would make a huge difference.

It was explained at the beginning of ep 1 - their chocolate company is using some kind of scraps to make the chocolate, which would usually be discarded.

Right, and he looked stunning too. And thanked his gf! What a man

Very happy for Ha Nee!

You know, it's more about the marketing really now that I think about it. Cause for soo many episodes the mystery was that the ML did something unthinkable. And later on, we learn that he's a murderer. Let's say, somebody who actually did a huge mistake watched this drama and thought - damn, the ML is going through the same shit I was. Wonder how he'll get through it. And then it turns out that no, the ML objectively didn't do anything wrong... and the person feels yet again that the marketing was so misleading... kinda like queerbating tbh, same mechanism of anticipation and disappointment imo. And why can't we get it? Cause the leads in dramas have to be crystal clear.

If ML actually hit somebody with his car, I'd get behind it (his feeling guilty). But:
1. Regarding the old man - he clearly said to him not to invest in certain stocks, and not to over-invest. And then to wait, as he's working on the situation.
2. Regarding his hyung - ML didn't even ask his hyung to drive. The guy insisted himself.

I get that he was feeling guilty, don't get me wrong, but for all those people to blame him and make his state even worse - to the point that he's calling himself worthless and a murderer?

My point is that I'd like to see dramas with main leads that are healing after an actual big mistake. Cause here the MLs journey should actually be to learn not to blame himself. And I want to see journeys of people who are to be blamed, but somehow still learn to live on. Dunno if I managed to articulate my thoughts properly...

The business part wasn't explained the best, even though I work a corporate job myself, in the first episodes everything was happening so fast that I was not sure what was going on, who is who and what is actual job of the leads. I also found it really weird how many times the main leads had the conclusion that health/personal life is more important than work, but they still had a shitty work-life balance even after that...

But the 1st couple was fire, the relationship was very well portrayed. I could feel that they were truly close and dear to each other. The best part of the drama by far. Though before they got together I sometimes wasn't sure what the hell are they talking about, they tried to be so misterious...

Main leads are confirmed! It will be aired in 2024, so probably Q4

Same... Even if it was available on Disney, I'd have already watched it, but it's not (in the EU at least)...

Oh, this is such a great idea...
