Ep 12: Dong Wook's mother can be just as a bad human as Tae Hwan. This bs talk of fate and forcing it onto Ji Hyun that she and Dong Wook are not fated to be together. Then she tries to persuade Ji Hyun to marry into the Shin family with Myung Hun the guy who freaking abused her and made her attempt s**cide so her son can be free of her. Does she not know the cause to why Ji Hyun almost died or is she just blind? Absolutely no way Ji Hyun should be with Myung Hun or his family ever again.

Ep 10: I don't know who Dong Wook will end up with, Ji Hyun or Hye Rin. He and Ji Hyun have the forbidden romance plot set up where they can overcome it all but with Hye Rin he develops the relationship throughout the drama. Hye Rin is definitely the more stronger character. These forceful intentions from Myung Hun onto Ji Hyun is so disturbing and disgusting to watch. In these types of dramas, you have ro fear for the horrible amnesia trope onto any of the characters. I thought it was about to happened twice now. Another idea I think they might do is Ji Hyun is trapped into being in a relationship with Myung Hun. I thought they were gonna have her lose her memory after that car crash then she is tricked into him as her lover thankfully it didn't go like this.

Ep 7: Even though Ji Hyun is innocent not wanting to be in a relationship with Myung Hun, I think she is someone to monitor. She and Dong Wook are in a secret relationship but her words to him weren't like "I hope I can win your mother's trust." It seemed too easy for them to be together already. Then we see Myung Hun take her away thinking she and Dong Wook are done but no. So it looks like this new woman at the end of the ep could be a love interest/rival.

I really like that Tae Hwan is the only true evil person of his family. Yeah he trained and forced his son to do things his way and he is almost despicable like him but deep down we know he isn't that much evil. We saw glimpses of him as a kid resisting to do the things he was forced and questioning his father's evil actions. Also he was swapped at birth so he got raised in the wrong family. I'm so glad they didn't make Tae Hwan's wife evil and corrupt like him.

Both families reaction to when their sons were switched in the hospital will be interesting. I hope the evil guy doesn't try to steal away Dong Wook especially if he has become successful. One thing I was worried was that they would make their personalities fit in the wrong family like Myung Hyun is a good guy and Dong Wook is a jerk. Like their personalities don't fit their families because of the switch.

Ep 6: Dong Cheol lost his father and a guy who was going to be his father figure. That guy brought him to Macau then he gets kidnapped leaving Dong Cheol stuck there. I was kind of unhappy that Dong Cheol and Wang Geon were separated because it looked like they were gonna become like brothers. Now Wang Geon is working for the main villain that Dong Cheol despises.

In episode 1, they start off with a future scene. The main villain Shin Tae Hwan is surrounded by gang members only to be revealed as Dong Cheol the leader. He is about to get revenge until they stop. So now the question what episode will this scene actually happen and resolve.

Ep 12 update: I'm 90% sure the mystery woman who attacks Gou and he doesn't fight back in the illusion that Fu Xi saw is gonna be Bai Cai. Oh god something big will happen to her when her secret power is unleashed along with that crystal inside here that can change things too.

The idea of the guy who likes A Lan but becomes jealous all of a sudden when he thinks A Lan is falling in love with Gou is not working. It's been like 2 episodes since Gou arrived there and interacted with her because she is his master. There has been nothing they've done to make us believe he is jealous and A Lan to already have feelings for Gou.

I have seen 9 episodes so far and this drama is bringing my enjoyment for Cdramas back since I can be a picky watcher.

I definitely love the story of the ML having to start from the bottom as he moves up. He's going to grow, learn, and become stronger in this journey.

After episode 9: I really enjoyed that first arc of Gou and Bai Cai surviving as slaves in a mine. I already ship them as a couple. Although I hope we see more strong traits of her. I was very worried they were gonna do the annual separation scene. Thankfully they did not separate and will be by each side still.

I wonder if those kids Bai Cai was taking care of are forgotten and never see them again or they will reunite with them later on?

Just saw the first 2 episodes. It felt cringe for me seeing the bad cgi for some of the fight scenes.

But like who is she "falling in love" with throughout the drama?

I honestly think Seung Soo should have still traded away the catcher. I think his health issues isn't good to last the season anymore.

The key players on the Dreams that they have focused in this drama are mainly pitchers and catcher. They are lacking one good to great batter we can see more of as a character.

After episode 11: They're trying to hype this up but cone on it is a practice game. If you wanted hype, then they should have made it the Vikings vs Dreams as the first game of the regular season. A game that actually matters. But it's looking like the drama isn't gonna go as far as to the end of the regular season or even into the regular season.

I'm not the biggest fan of them bringing back some old staff members that helped the team win the championship years ago. I don't remember how long ago they said since they won the championship. They could reach out to them but how about all or some of them deciding not to join the team again. Like what if they don't have the skill anymore or well off in a better job right now. They could make this a new era and find some new people to fill those roles.

Dropped after episode 6. Pacing is slow it took to long to get something interesting going. It had potential from me in the first episode but it dragged and lost me. The setup for this fake relationship was weak. FL spends more scenes with the SML than the ML. A bunch of clichés for a old drama I know.

There had to be a better and quicker way for them to be in a fake relationship and take it seriously.

After 3 episodes, the fake relationship hasn't even started yet. It shouldn't take this long for dramas to begin the real plot of the drama.

After episode 2: Seung Soo absolutely nailed his presentation on why he wanted to trade Dong Gyu away. I feel sorry for the Vikings having to put up with Dong Gyu on their team now. That dude is a diva. Someone like him would be cut off the team in real life and never play in the pro's again.

I think he should have fired the batting coach and pitching coach. With the way how they made the team split into 2 groups instead of everyone is together as a team. The head coach was so lifeless dealing with their bs. Not everyone you can make change. Sometimes just got to get rid of them and start new to build a winning culture.

One of the hooks is if Seung Soo's background a coincidence or not of him managing teams to win championships in different sports only for them to disband right after.

This drama could have been much better if they mainly focused on the wrestling story of the ML instead of adding in the murder mystery plot. Those last episodes were all about the murder mystery which I find so boring. Then by the end when they wrapped things up on the ML and the wrestling story, it felt rushed. I don't get it. The wrestling plot about the ML is goof enough on its own to be what the drama can be about.

As someone who has seen the og Jdrama version Hana Yori Dango, I am so hesitant to watch this version.

Am I supposed to believe that Heo Im who traveled from a world 400 years ago into the present can casually use a smartphone with no struggles? I get it he underwent this new character change(I hate) now that he's a colder and more mature person but come on.

I've seen 7 episodes now. I really really loved loved the first 6 episodes. Then starting on episode 7 where they made the ML change his look and parts of his character has suddenly made me dislike this. All the charms of his character is now gone. I'm gonna somehow try to finish this drama but I can totally see your point of how this drama will change in the 2nd half.

Just saw episode 6. The ending we see the ML Heo clean shaven no more goatee and his long hair is gone. The long hair and goatee made him unique for his character. The character I loved has lost his fun traits.

Also how has the FL not noticed since she returned from the past that her bag with her wallet is missing.

Noooooo
