im glad you liked it though! yeah so many unanswered questions and plot holes, i finished the ep with more questions than answers

sorry lol the next life thing makes sense now that you say it. i just wish we got a better ending scene/something that was executed better bc i really liked them as a couple 🥲 dont mind them dying as long as its done well

and i’ve said it before but i’ll say it again: chita is truly my fav character. hes so fun to watch on screen, loved all of his scenes and the acting was incredible!!

this finale was a mess with high highs (james’ scene at the gas station was beautiful, esp with the music choice) and low lows (that random ass scene of dr ji and chita right before they died… made me feel NOTHING at all. i wish they had done something similar to james and ken’s flashback montage, bc dr ji and chita deserved better!). also this finale was truly plot hole city!

looking back i feel like this show started off great, got even better during ep 7-8-9 iirc and then just… lost me during the finale. 🥲

even after ep 8 and 9, chita remains my fav character!

they laced this show with crack, it’s SO good!!!

im sooo seated for this! will for sure be rewatching s1 <3

i was gonna write the exact same thing about lee jeongho and baek donghyun, such great actors and they were so fun to watch on screen!

the main leads are both SO bad at their jobs it's truly ridiculous

some thoughts (w spoilers):
1. really enjoyed the space-theme throughout the show! my fav theme was seungwon being an astroid, so cute when they bumped into each other!!
2. i wish heesu had confessed to seungwon in the dark classroom (before the festival). it felt like such an emotional, heavy scene to me and its a shame they didnt turn it into something bigger.
3. seungwon reminding jiyu that her confessing her feelings is different from him confessing to a guy felt very real, love that they included this!!

theres something really charming about this drama. yes it’s slow, yes it has (lots of) flaws, yes the chanyeong tennis subplot goes absolutely nowhere, but the good parts are just so great! heesu and seungwon are such lovable characters, heesu’s dynamic with his sisters is super fun and the seungwon/jiyu friendship is so wonderful to watch. def more of a coming of age/slice of life drama than a bl. still enjoyed watching this, makes me want to read the manhwa!

this was soooo fun, loved the boyfriend on demand concept! seo kangjoon totally stole the show for me lol his face card is just insane on screen.

glad to hear you enjoyed love begins in the world of if, i was surprised by how much i enjoyed it. i was going to edit my comment and add old fashioned cupcake as a recommendation but you have watched it already :)

and thank you so so much for the additional recommendations! i'm super into japanese bls right now (after watching a bunch of korean ones), so i'll definitely check them out!!

the grooming not being addressed as such is crazy. don't even know how to rate this because the rest of the drama was really good. great chemistry and acting, definitely more slower paced (which i personally like).

we have similar taste based on this list! i feel like you'll enjoy Love Begins in the World of If (Japanese). short but very much worth watching.
i watched i hear the sunspot because of your comment btw, so so good! :)

the definition of heartwarming. beautiful cinematography (soooo many stunning summer shots), amazing acting and very lovable characters. love love love!!!

i love the message behind this drama. as a fellow introverted office worker, this really hit close to home and made me think about my own issues at work. where's my ogami who will give me chocolates when i'm sad!

some parts felt a bit rushed because they only had 6 episodes to tell the whole story. i did enjoy the way it ended (the last episode is my fav!) but i wish they could've added 2-3 more episodes so the story could've been expanded a bit.

and in true j-bl fashion: the cinematography is gorgeous! also love the fact that there's a few no/minimal cut scenes. highly recommend watching it!

wow wow WOW this was so good! cannot stop thinking about it since i finished it. such a good plot with great pacing and wonderful characters. moon jiyong (shin jaewoo) really shines in the emotional scenes. even though this brought me to tears multiple times, it has some really funny moments too. kang woojung has great comedic timing, loved watching him as joo hyungjin!
this is for sure a show i'll rewatch - finished it last night and i kinda watch rewatch it right away :) 10/10!!!

so beautiful. the tearjerker tag is very accurate!

also yun jeonghan is such a fun, messy character, it was super fun to watch him!
