I regret watching this drama. It started off great, but then completely went off the rails after the first two episodes. Actually terrible ending and horrible writing. We never got a proper resolution, but instead a massive nothing burger. Am I supposed to believe that ML will forever pine for her, no matter how selfish and non-committal FL is (she literally left to a different country too)? It's clear that they aren't compatible with each other, but I guess the writers wanted to paint ML as a loyal simp for some reason, lol..? I would have preferred that they force a happy ending instead, or even have ML end up with Im A-Sol, who seems to actually understand him well and have empathy for him.
This writing is so shit lol. There's no way to justify FL's behaviour whatsoever.. especially when ML is going through a rough time and needs her support the most. At least there's only two more episodes left, so I'll just finish it for the sake of it. However, I don't think the relationship can be reasonably saved.
Im A Sol gave her name tag to ML probably during the study center when ML was at Seoul before moving to the small…
I'm honestly not sure because it doesn't seem like they already knew each other. So I think it was more of a hidden, one-sided crush from Im A Sol and she just snuck in her name tag in ML's backpack without his knowledge. But I could be wrong
Who’s Im A Sol? I couldn’t quite understand the reference to the name tag. I seemed to recall her name being…
Im A Sol gave her name tag to ML probably during the study center when ML was at Seoul before moving to the small town. In Korean dating context, gifting personal name tag is a popular gesture indicating romantic interest
Maybe some of the negative comments have a point about how ML is being a simp and too loyal by not moving past FL, that FL is selfish by inserting herself in front of ML again after 10 years, etc
But I don't know, I don't see it that way necessarily. They clearly loved each other during high school days. I feel like 2ML was being manipulative and probably coerced FL into dating him, but I could be wrong. They didn't really explain the whole situation regarding the guesthouse thing.
But about ML, he definitely moved on during the 10 year gap, it's not like his life completely collapsed just because of the breakup. He has to think about his grandparents, his brother, etc, which is the main reason why he quit that programming job (no way he can move to another country). He also did briefly date another woman, so his dating life wasn't just stuck in place because he was waiting for FL all this time or something like that
The whole drama is about two exes getting back together (hopefully), and I think their relationship when together has been equal so far
Will they make another School drama? This was my first time watching the series, and I thought it was pretty good overall. Definitely going to check out the older entries.
There's some fake ones out there, which you might've went to. Try the legit ones, which is either .net or .in domain (I also added clarification to my earlier comment)
Just finished this drama, and I thought it was very good! Romance was solid and full of green flags, and even that aside, the dialogues were realistic and the pacing was good imo.
Also it's incredible how Qin Lan looks so beautiful despite being in her 40s; I initially thought she was in her late 20s lol
