This is one of my top anticipated dramas this year. It looks rad, from the screenwriter, to director and actors. Also, second couple are ex-lovers? I love that dynamic, and it was so well done in OBS <3

From more recent dramas (tho it's def not slow burn haha), the romance I enjoyed the most was A Journey To Love. It had crazy chemistry, was pretty mature and the comedy was to die for. Pretty much everything works there, similar to Knight Flower. But I never finished it cause the ending... Let a lot to be desired, to say the least.

I thought that Lost is the perfect kind of drama for me, but I felt soo bored with the first few episodes 😭 No idea why I couldn't connect to it at all... I envy all people who enjoyed it, honestly

But her dying doesn't change the fact that we were mad that she's even there and wasting the drama's airtime. So if someone dropped the rating cause of her, I don't think her death will change it. It was expected that she'll end badly anyway

It's not that we hated her character. I mean we did, but we also hated MH and SM. But they were entertaining in their own way. But Yura was an afterthought and had no real purpose in the story.

I love tsundere men in my romances too ngl 😆

I wonder, why did they put Yura in instead of more 2nd couple romances then... lost potential tbh

My main question is - why did they wear 2023 clothes in 2013. Gimme that bad clothes, bad makeup, not this clean girl and quiet luxury aesthetics, I want to see it all XD

My point wasn't to bash on him cause he's 29 and yet to complete military service. I know that it can be delayed due to various reasons. It was to express my disbelief at his age cause he looks older, especially in MMH. I have no business in judging whether and when anyone completes their military service, I'm not Korean. No idea why you have to be so passive agressive and judgy when you were the one who misunderstood.

I am well aware of it. I just didn't think he's so young. I thought that he's >35, at that age he would have to have his military service completed, if he wasn't exempted.

Also, movies tend to get lower ratings on MDL compared to TV series...

He'll be in 3 of my most anticipated 2024 dramas? Nice

Yes, he is, tho a minor role >< it's fantastic, I recommend it a lot!

Hahaha, you're making me blush, but I can't disagree 😆 how did it go, calm in the day and wild at night or something like that? 😂

Yes! But it's not a typical romance, no skinship.

Also, when I saw Jong Won's age, I was so afraid that we'll lose yet another actor to military just after his breakthrough drama, but no, he's already served in the military 😆 I'm so glad, in the recent influx of idol actors he's a shining star. I also love that he got a major role even after starring in a queer role in XX, I have high hopes for the industry changing, even a little bit at a time. After I finish Knight Flower rewatch, time for XX rewatch!

I am rewatching fron the beginning, and it's crazy how tightly they filled the show with major events and action. Plots I initially thought were shown in the span of 2-3 episodes were actually way more condensed. There was barely any filler! The romance also moved pretty fast. Even tho the episodes were just over an hour, they felt like at least an hour an a half, in the best of ways! Would have loved more eps and I can't refuse some romantic or comedic filler, but this was so well thought-out, it's crazy. Don't really see such dramas in today's landscape. Everything was perfect: the actors, screenplay, directing, music!

One of the few dramas where the timeskip was needed so much. She had to get time to mourn her brother, not even mentioning that she's been locked up for so long.

And I like how someone phrased it in comments above - that SH is "tempting"our innocent FL 😆 Even if she didn't give in in the start, I have no hope for her in the future!

Thank you haha! I know, right, its crazy how hot the chemistry is here! I've been constantly complaining on the current dramas regarding how the leads seem to have a relationship as innocent as 12 year olds, even tho they are just under 30. Completely unbelievable, tbh. But here, even though this is their first relationship, there is no skinship, and the show is set in Joseon, the chemistry is sizzling. And it's not a chemistry between teenagers of sth, it's just like you said, pretty sexual 😆 In most cases I wouldn't start a romance dramas without a kiss. But this drama's chemistry is not innocent in the least 😅
