Thanks! I was curious how others interpret this moment. My thoughts were quite reverse, that the mother smiles because she could at any time reveal her daugther identity (against Eun-A's wishes) and with this movie, her real daughter will be someone accomplished, and Jeong-Hui (the mother) again will have similar duo (daughter writer and mom acting in her movie) as she had with Mi-Ran (acting as mother and daugther).

Yeah, my favorite is exactly the thing that Hwan Dong Man got his chance not because he fixed the script, or behavior, or kept trying, but because Ko Hye Jin wants his ass to be kicked off.
They have set up the plot nicely. The best is both competing scripts were in the end fixed thanks to Eun A, though with a different level of ingerention.

I was worried that the focus of the show will be too much on the love triangle, but imo there was never much of a triangle. For me FL was simply scared of entering the relationship and surprised by the confession she got from Ji Su, up until that time she was looking at him mainly as a friend, what was not a new thing for her, given her friendship withthe gym owner. If their start would be more honest, or if she never met ML their story could be different, but this is how it is, it's often about timing or who we meet first.
Also, the seeing two of them wasn't as bad as I thought it will be given some reviews. She went on one date with SML only after the bizzare rivalry meeting both guys had. Also, the way Ji Su approached this relationship has resembled so much the way of thinking the lawyer had. He was promising what he can offer her, like it was some sort of contest. I was happy he actually grew a lot by the end.

I like this actress and I almost skipped this drama because of all the reviews. I am happy I gave it a try. For me the show was really concise, first it was about the relationship, then in the 'boring' part they focused on why ppl get married. For different ppl different things are attractive in a partner. For ML happy ending seemed obvious because of his parents relationship. So mentioning marriage from the beginning was not so weird for him as for FL. The FL had completely different experiences. And no wonder she felt for things as simple as warmth, presence and patience.
And I really liked side charactes stories too, the contrasting gym duo, the intern dealing with unwanted adorer and even Ji Su's relationship with his step mum and how he became more mature.

It was a realy nice watch. Heartwarming slow paced scenes, and background music were climatic. I liked the main couple and that they learned from each other. Also I liked their chemistry. Even the academies subplot was fun, especially in the beginning. The big drama part later on was a little too typical, and I hoped for some nice and warm scenes more in the far future. I feel like I lack closure

This is one of the first dramas I watched and it have set my expectations for believable and realistic setup too high. It has many cute and beautiful scenes nicely combined with music that I like to rewatch from time to time. Now when I went back to it, it is so unique that the story just focuses on one single couple and there is no obvious villain.

I was pretty satisfied, and did not regret watching till the end. Of course the beginning was really good, dynamite and all. I got a little tired near the end,
but overall, the plot was pretty well and believable too. And by believable I mean emotions and reactions matched with the character and personal background.

For me, the only really weak episode was ep 13. Adding new person seemed a repetition of what we have already seen with SML, and at this point of the story it was boring and unnecessary.

For the rest, beside the often mentioned chemistry, I liked the friendship between both mothers. The ML's mother did steal the show near the end, I was really happy to see how her story unfolds.
Also, I had fun whenever they used a well known trope and make fun of it. Maybe the last two were a little too much.
The whole company plot was a good background and I loved how mothers' team was bonding.
In the end, I was OKish with the second couple ending, only because it did not go the typical way I firstly assumed it will go. In my eyes, a true prince for SFL was not SML, but Kim Jun and I would be more happy if SML was thought a lesson
