At episode 20. Good acting. Excellent visuals. Sizzling chemistry. All the makings for an outstanding drama except for the exasperating plot. Pretty good, but the writers made the FL character unbearably gullible. FL character is such a loser. ML was problematic too—poor communicator which contributed to the FL’s misunderstandings. But would she have listened anyway even if he had explained things from the start? Shame on the writers. Otherwise, we could have had a truly great and swoonworthy drama. Four more episodes. Will see if the writers can turn this around.

Character is not different. We just see a different side of him. “Hidden Love” is how he looks from his little sister’s perspective.

How are reviews rating this already? This hasn’t even aired yet.

Disney+ definitely bought it. Not expected to be on Netflix. I noticed, however, some Disney+ kdramas are on Hulu (like “Moving,” the new Han Hyo Joo/Jo In Sung drama, for example, if I’m not mistaken). That gives me hope because Disney+ for the US is crap when it comes to releasing kdramas on their platform.

Yes, you definitely need to watch Season 1.

Stupid script. I love Luo Zheng, but this is just too stupid. He needs a team who will get him better projects. FL’s baby voice is annoying beyond words.

which episode?

His love scene was cringey. He’s clearly not experienced yet doing those kinds of scenes. He was very awkward. But, maybe the Director was partly to blame as well. Everything else about that drama was delightful.

Hate so much Disney+ bought this and not Netflix. Disney+ is the worst. It never has any of the latest dramas in the USA when they are released everywhere else.

He totally stole the show in the original series.

I hope the ML has improved in doing love scenes. He was pretty cringey in “Business Proposal.” Yeah, I said it. Don’t come for me!!! Lol 😂 😆 😝 His love scene was unwatchable in that drama. Everything else was delightful.

I actually preferred his love scenes with Park Bo Young in “Abyss.” That’s not a popular drama, but their chemistry was fire and hilarious at the same time. That’s how I started liking him in the first place.

Thanks for clarifying. Good point. The Director doesn’t spend enough time on the mother-son reunion given how deeply her leaving impacted Gu Won. This drama is very lacking on substance, exploration of deep emotional trauma, character growth, reasons for and believable resolution of serious psychological problems, and logical, believable redemption arcs. For instance, we never got a proper explanation for Gu Won’s sister’s deep psychological issues. The writing was weak. Even though it’s a fluffy romcom, it could have delved into the serious issues properly without getting too dark and heavy.

He looked for her because that’s his mother. It’s not hard to understand that a child would look for his mother. Gu Won is a highly reserved and unemotional guy. He showed the level of emotion commiserate with his personality during this painful but long-awaited meeting. No doubt, he would warm up over time as they got reacquainted. He didn’t kick his mother out of his life after this meeting. He came back and hugged her. She was even at the wedding.

Agreed—The father was the real problem here.

Nope. Nice parents all around.

That purple suit makes ML look like The 🃏 Joker, lol.

She did better than I thought she would.

His mother abandoned him. Of course he would have hard feelings. He loved her and missed her desperately, but he was also angry with her. He understood why she left, was kicked out actually, but the hurt feelings are still there. She seems like a nice lady, but it’s mind-boggling to me she didn’t try to contact him once in the last 20 years. That’d be hard for anyone to process.

Well said

Wasn’t she told not to disclose anything about the transfer?

I am 99.9% sure it will be.
