I can't remember as I watched it back when it was airing HAHA
All I know is that the basic plot is similar.

Found a written update / recap of the 1st episode for those interested.

Freaking LOVED the first episode. The dynamic between all the characters is so interesting. Instant love!

Completely agree! J dramas tend to have beautiful scores, and this was no exception :)

I don't speak for all men. I am just speaking from my personal experience. And my experiences have been either men wanting to sleep with me and not really know me OR men being put off thinking that I am probably some virtuous kind who wants to have sex only after marriage and that kind of commitment is hard for them to give. In both these scenarios I get that its not exactly my fault , the former being creepier men and latter being commitment-phobic men, but they've always framed it to be my flaw. And when that happens time & time again, it's only naturalto think that the problem is me even though it isn't.

Also I didn't mean to say that men want women who are very sexually active. But at my age, being extremely inexperienced has been framed as a turn off for the men I met. They say shit like I"m lying and there's no way someone as beautiful or cute as me never got a guy. Or do I have high standards or bull like that or if something is wrong with me. Maybe I haven't met the right one yet who's willing to put in the effort.

Again, these are purely my experiences & the interpretation of those experiences.

HAHA
And yes I have to say he's cute and gentle *hides face*

It is triggering, and very very raw.
But I encourage everyone to see it because it is a relevant and important movie for all, especially women. It will leave you empty, but it also will leave you with a lot of lessons.
Give it a try when you're in the mood for it :)

Yes.

THIS FILM SHOULD BE MADE MANDATORY VIEWING FOR EACH AND EVERY PERSON. (more in review)

A brutal, thought-provoking and painfully real depiction of everything that is wrong with society from the way people engage in small talk & spread rumours about others without regard, the inhumanity with which society bullies and isolates others, the way family and social institutions fail to protect victims and try to make news out of them, the patriarchal & predatory mindset with which people view women who have sex as 'easy' and think they can just have her without her consent - every damn thing about this was powerful and triggering. It made me mad and sick to my stomach. I ugly cried. I just don't have the words really because this has left me feeling empty. (more in review)

And to think, this happens every day in some corner of the world. Films like this make you realize how the world can be a flower bed for some, and thorns for another. We talk about finding sufficiency and self-love in our ownself, but is it really possible when no one is on your side, and everyone is only trying to push you over the edge?

On to the technical aspects - the way it was filmed may make it look like a low budget film but that's what made this even more powerful. Every scene and frame looked so real, like you were viewing the world from the character's perspective rather than watching a film. The acting was spot on.

It's a flawless short film and I highly highly recommend this for all, even though it is not an easy watch and will trigger even the hardest of hearts.

Oh yes, I forgot to mention but the score of this drama was A1. Absolutely lovely.

"I always thought the older men are more mature and more comfortable to be with but it turns out that that's also fiction. The idea of meeting someone, somewhere eventually that doesn't mind your insecurities and inexperience and helps you gain confidence and doesn't mind being patient...well that's what gives me hope, hopefully that same person will also in some ways make you feel young at heart and give you a glimpse into what young love could be like at an older age (if that makes sense). For me I just want a loyal, kind, loving and romantic partner."

THAT IS ME. EXACTLY ME.
You should totally watch this drama then. The ML and 2ML embody exactly what we're looking for (the FL is one lucky woman) HAHAHAHAHA

Word on all the toxic people around both in dramas and in real life. And I fear that too. But this is one thing I try not to think too much about because we never know. If bad things can happen, then there's an equal chance of good things happening too. Don't assume the worst. It's easier said than done. But remind yourself that :)

And also THANK YOU for sharing all this with me. It isn't easy to talk about this.
And I don't mean to be insensitive, but it feels nice to have someone feel the same way and just understand you know.
ROOTING FOR YOU!!

DUDEEEEE SAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Sending you a big hug right now :)

Somewhere I'm probably still yearning for that young romance but most people my age have long crossed that. And I have met men that are put off by the inexperience. A part of me tells myself to believe that the right person will not mind, but another part of me thinks that that's unlikely to happen. Most people also just don't want to invest that time to take you through your baby steps. Unfortunately. So yes I have been focusing on feeling sufficient within myself and not trying to hard to look for another to complete me. It is hard, at times, like you said with people constantly flaunting their relationships or terming me as someone with either high standards or just weird for not having tried, even though it's neither of the 2.

Before both of us get too depressed about this, I just want to say - don't give up on yourself or on finding love. Whatever that happens, don't give up. Give your best!

OMG same. It does get "worser" as I age because most people have crossed that stage of doing the basic romantic things as a teen while I haven't, that too as a 32 year old. That gap can be hard to overcome. People who don't understand write it off as childishness or immaturity but it's just inexperience you know. And then all these judgments sometimes have the effect of putting me off from wanting to even try. SIGHHHH
If only more people were sensitive to the fact that everyone has their own pace, and there is no such thing as a certain age to accomplish or overcome anything.

This was such a riot. Loved it!

I googled Suzuki Ittetsu thinking he was an actor.
I feel like my innocence has been taken away.
LMAOOOOOOO

I didn't get the hate for her. To each their own I guess..
Also I can be confident at work and with friends, but when it comes to romance, I am very inexperienced & shy despite being 30+ so I relate to her character. We aren't always " mature" or forward (for the lack of a better word) in every aspect of our life.

Chae Jong Hyeop and Nikaido Fumi were so cute and precious together that one can't help but root for them instantly. This drama wasn't without its flaws but I enjoyed the romance / relationship between the leads, and the friendship, love and support between all the characters.
All in all, a pleasant, feel-good romcom that I recommend watching after a long work day.
Time well spent :)

Yes, ML is a green flag. FL is too! All the characters in this drama are green flags actually.
FL is naive and inexperienced when it comes to relationships but she's not childish.
There is no cheating.
