Same here. It is the first time I ever saw him in a drama but thanks to his role of an adorkable cinnamon roll magician which he plays so well (comedic timing, shift of emotions, microexpressions etc) i am currently catching up on Man to Man (since it is leaving netflix worldwide on June 10th) and later on I plan to watch Forest too. Really a great actor and Jin Ki Joo is too as FL. The whole cast is so very good, actually.

And if you know Mystic Pop Up Bar you kinda know what to expect with this drama here, just cranked up to eleven in terms of humor and chaos. Otherwise, same quirky characters, situations and humor with heartfelt moments in between. FNOS is faster paced and more tightly written than MPUB, so it is a sign of the writer learning and improving what perhaps didn't work well before.

Oh I feel guilt is a big part of as to why he overcompensates tbh. For his selfishness and being the perceived reason for seul hae's former self's death. The best example for it is his charity spree and the hyper-attentiveness toward SH. He feels he needs to make up for mistakes made in the past (life.)

Yeah it really shows, which is not a bad thing as MPUB was great <3

Mystic Pop Up Bar did this element well too, imo. Tho it is more in a piece-meal style with details revealed bit by bit than all at once like in FNOS :D

As i am watching quite a lot of historical dramas (really like them if they are not politics only) the way they handled the backstory, the setting and cinematography was such a treat (✿´‿`)

Yeees they are so good and adorble together, like a long married couple that tends to bicker, fuss and nag at times haha (given their backstory that will be unraveled as the drama goes on that is no surprise 🤭)

Exactly this! Highfive, friend (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)

Um, i don't think this is the right question or topic for the comment section of a fantasy drama about ghosts. Or in general, MDL. We are here to talk about dramas, not big philosophic question no one has a define answer of.

Could i ask for a spoiler tag out of courtesy for new watchers visiting this comment section? Since there are pretty big spoilers in there. Thanks <3

Spoiler tag this, please <3

He is/was still a bit stuck in the past-life memories. You gotta take in account that he "lived" that life for the month he was in coma and it has been just a few days where he has been awake, at most. So it is no wonder it all felt real to him and he hasn't truly readjusted to modern/his current life yet.

It is like, idk if any of you plays videogames, but it is like holing up at home to sink your teeth into an epic 100 hours rpg for a week or so... afterwards/after finishing that, you also need time to readjust and stop thinking about that damn game/story/characters to return to reality. Bottom line is this whole behavior is temporary and no 180° of character that erases everything CCW once was. He is gonna snap out of his marveling for the past life pretty soon, while maybe retain a bit of the softness, as he has always been an adorable dork. Just not to that "extreme" haha.

i would like to argue that CCW had no sudden change of character in the recent episode for reasons mentioned in spoilers:

Not purely rom-com and more of a genre-mix with heavy rom-com elements and genuinly funny imo:

Crazy Love (the most romcom-y from this list lol)
https://kisskh.at/706923-crazy-love
(best use dramacool etc to watch as it is on Disney+ and not widely available)

Dali And The Cocky Prince: (also very romcom-y w/ light murder mystery)

From Now On Showtime ( still airing and a current fave of mine and sadly so underrated/overlooked):

Hope that helps (◕‿◕✿)

From Now On Showtime, which flew under everyone's radar but is so very excellent with its genre mix, quirky characters and comedy. Akin to CL in this regard.

Oh gotcha. That makes much more sense ^̮^ I also hope we will get out of angst town soon, tho haha

that mentally weak wording is a tad insulting and demeaning to people dealing with trauma and mental health problems, to say the least. Probably not your intent but yeah it made me cringe.

Yeah that was also my reason for falling behind as it aired. It felt samey and too drawn out already at that point (episode 6/7) and an once interesting premise left me bored. So i guess i save me 10 hours now and drop it, haha

hmm, was wondering if this is worth picking back up (watched 6 episodes before falling too behind and putting it on hold) but i guess i will drop it instead by the look of things ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeeees, he is. Watch till the end it is shown/explained what really happened in the warehouse ;)

I meeeeean i always suspected even expected it to happen, but not as quickly as the drama did. I was really thinking that Soo was just disappointed with her being so distant last eps, and that there was going to be an accident that leaves him possessed an episode or so later. But nope homeboi is possessed from the get go 😬 And here we are, once more going the Mystic Pop Up Bar "the evil spirit wears a familiar face" route haha. Tho tbh, it is the logical finale with the threat of history repeating itself too.

I'm a tad annoyed of them drawing out the romantic commitment of both leads to each other as long as they do but oh well, Chawoong has been upgraded to Cinnamon Roll 2.0 so he is already on that mission, lol. (that coffee boi scene, i wheezed) JUST.... Please, please please give me a modern time kiss before episode 16, i am feeling all blue-balled by that extreme slow burn ngl 🤣🤣🤣

Welcome, so happy more people give this wonderful drama a chance <3 If you have the viki pass, episode 12 is already available to watch. Otherwise it will take a bit still for it to appear on "other" streaming sites 😁
