It was a good rom-com and it's binge worthy to an extent. However, no way in any shape this was a 8.9 rating drama. It makes the whole rating system of this site sort of joke imo. It's a solid 8.5 and no more than that for me.
The show in itself is pretty good and comedy is well written but the huge let down for this drama was there was absolutely NO sexual/romantic tension between the leads, their scenes together were good but they don't give you that aura where you go like "OH YEAH THEY WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER", the secondary couple chemistry was way more.
I recently watched "Lovely Us" Cdrama and absolutely loved it, mostly because the romance wasn't rushed, it was slow burn and that's what i look for in the dramas. I don't really like when leads express their love or get together early in the drama, i like their affection and care to develop with time.
So i really want to ask is this drama slow burn like leads must have affection for each other throughout the drama but do they express their love verbally late in the drama ? Please do tell me!
HD making a pinky promise with Yu Rim not to dive again (meaning not to commit suicide) is a pretty strong scene imo considering many people in here think she might be dead in present time and BYJ and NDH adopted Yu Rim's daughter as KMC.
Also note that Yu Rim is from a poor family and they are in deep debt as well, maybe after some time the situation gets really worse and she decides to do something as she feels her parents keep buying her gifts so she can remain happy but she thinks as a burden to them.
I think the ending will be a satisfactorily one, don't think they will end up together but rather remain being the strength of one another to do well in their respective careers, like the main theme of the show is "BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER TO DO WELL IN LIFE".
Yi Jin describing his relationship with DH as "Love" but that definition of Love he described to her is another hint that YJ might sacrifice for DH in the future and they will remain as motivators to each other.
Episode 10 felt like a filler to me, all the beach scenes were beautiful but from the story perspective it didn't progress much, personally wanted more from the episode but maybe in next ones we get it.
This plot is so similar to a super hit Indian movie "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", the only difference is the daughter in that movie reads letter from her dead mom asking her to reunite her dad with his college best friend
The first 7 seconds of OST "Very Slowly" when the tune comes just gives me instant goosebumps and to top it all, in ending of Episode 8 the tune comes when Yi Jin stretches his arm to reveal the yellow flower and that combo of yellow flower with sunlight behind while the starting tune is being played is just so fitting.
Same happened when Yi Jin said "Because you give me hope" at the end of episode 4 and the tune starts playing, perfect timing
I still don't know how people had the second lead syndrome in this one, i never felt that way. For me from the very start ML and FL had to end up together, people just created unnecessary attachment with how SML should had the endgame lmao
I think everyone can agree that whether Yi Jin is alive or not in present time, Min Chae is definitely his daughter, i can't see Hee Do having a child with someone else, it just won't happen.
Hee Do knows how difficult it is to grow up without a dad so definitely she didn't want the same for her daughter and that's why she remarried for the sake of her child without telling her that Yi Jin is her father and that would indicate Yi Jin is dead.
Plus, Yi Jin being dead wouldn't surprise me as lately most of the dramas either have a sad ending or involves stupid love triangles.
Is there someone in this chat who is a friend of director's son or daughter lmao ? Just ask the director's children if is there any endgame or not because i just can't stomach it anymore and my curiosity has peaked.
One minute i think they will end up together and next minute mind creates different scenarios as why they won't end up together LMFAO
I am 100% certain that what the director wants us to show at first, opposite happens in the end. He is just toying with the viewers to make our curiosity arise lmao.
At first, he wanted to give the idea that DH and BYJ are chat buddies on computer by suddenly putting BYJ face when DH typed a reply on computer. And it wasn't the case.
Now he is giving us an indication that BYJ is not the dad since how can a daughter not recognize her dad from a photo even if it 20 years old. And for this very reason i think director will have a theory for later on and BYJ will indeed come out as the one who is with DH and has a daughter.
What if the scene where Hee Do and Yi Jin holding the yellow rose foreshadow that in the end they decide to stay…
I think the same, episode 8 means half of the show has ended and the ending gives this indication that they will remain as friends and inspiration to each other to do well in their respective careers.
Since, episode 8 is halfway of the show and the ending shows both leads holding yellow flower (indication of friendship) i think director is hinting that in the end both leads will choose to stay as friends and nothing else. Both as inspirations for each other.
As much as i still want to believe that BYJ will end with DH as endgame, with every episode passing it feels like a distant hope lmao, the director is definitely toying with us with the Min Chae and DH conversations.
However, Min Chae not recognizing her dad even from the photos (if dad is indeed BYJ) is a bit confusing and director have to get it spot on if endgame is definitely happening.
