I liked Squid Game but off the top of my head, I don't think I've ever been truly satisfied/impressed by a second season of a kdrama yet. Imo My Dearest part 2 was the closest one that came to actually meeting expectations and being good. So hopefully these aren't a flop. I don't think Korea has mastered multi-seasons yet, if they ever will...they frequently still struggle with writing 16 episodes these days. Hopefully this is all just my pessimism talking and I'm proven wrong.

Is the romance between the leads good so far?

Same! I think some people were just weirded out by the coach-trainee dynamic and rated it low for that reason.

They are SO STINKIN CUTE

Fun

No teenybopper oppa, and Kim soo hyun's not in it lol

I don't think it should be rated 8.5+, but it's also unrealistic for it to be this low.

Ratings have gotten so jacked up on this site especially the last year or two.

Same. I hate it when I don't "get" such popular dramas that everyone else seems to love. This is one of those dramas where I do not see the appeal at all and don't understand the rating. It just never hooked me whatsoever.

When is this coming out?

Really cute. I'm liking it so far

It starts to pick up and develop the plot especially from episode 4 onward. The first few episodes are much lighter.

It only keeps getting better, especially from episode 8 onwards.

She matures in episode 8 when the show time jumps to university. And no her love does not stay one sided.

That's a stretch.

Hahah np, I laughed too, but underneath was shock and anger like wtf did they do to my beloved healer lmao

It's at 39:46. It's supposed to be a different song, a really good song...I couldn't believe when I heard that instead it totally changed the scene

Out of curiosity where did you watch this, Viki or not? There is a version floating around out there with some music that had to be altered, probably due to licensing (for example if you watch it on onetouchtv.co, episode 8 they've replaced an emotional song with some goofy track)

Hmm I didn’t notice that, do you mean like how they’d play the intro song during the start of some action scenes?

lol a lot is sooo retro/outdated about this drama, music, cinematography, wardrobe..but that's part of its charm (for a lot of people)
