I wish there was more Yu Ri and Min Hyeok screentime

s korea DOES have a problem with needless fat shaming and the desire to be underweight and lookism, but this drama doesn't romanticize that in the way you think it does. to give the benefit of the doubt, we can't really see the FL's body because she wears baggy clothes in the beginning so you also can't just assume her body is healthy. it was more than just losing weight for her fitness journey too, she's an office worker who had bad stamina and stiffness from sitting around too much. but going to the gym became a healthy routine for her that improved her mind, not just her body.

what I'm trying to tell you is that this drama didn't really focus on improving looks, but improving oneself. becoming more confident, socializing at the gym, and also taking care of your body. I think it's been a very funny and tasteful drama, and it even addressed the crazy behavior of wanting to just eat chicken breast and working out too much. there were a lot of silly skit moments too that I think would be a shame to miss out on because of your initial impression

do we know why her boyfriend from episode 1 broke up with her? I don't remember if the reason was ever mentioned

how were the first 6 eps? I don't usually watch jdramas but this sounds interesting

the first 2 eps were goofy but good, I have a feeling the rest of eps will be similar too. Choi Hyunwook's baby face is rly funny in this drama but it works very well. He's trying very hard to be someone he is not, a serious CEO? no! a boy who likes to read manga and dance at the rock club. in both cases he wants to present himself as cool tho and it's entertaining. Sometimes strong FLs are portrayed as plain rude or put in circumstances where their strength becomes a disadvantage, but so far the FL's assertiveness has been received well by the supporting characters and I appreciate that

where are you watching it?

something I really like about this drama is how viewers are put off by the FL (MC) of the story when she begins to live in the seaside town, but mirroring how she eventually warms up to the town, I also eventually started to become very fond of her. so please give it some time if the first couple episodes don't pique your interest!

loved watching this so much!! the sweetness of this drama reminded me a lot of SWDBS

y'all...I have a feeling I shouldn't rewatch this kdrama after enjoying it so much when it was airing 😭 I want to trust my past self and relive the butterflies but I tried that once with SWDBS and it ended badly (couldn't even finish the last episodes!) I'll just take everyone's recent comments and reviews as a warning to let the happy memories stay happy memories

okay, I changed my mind a little bit after reading everyone's replies! thank you everyone~ i realize now that I too am unsure of what kang bit na is feeling. there might be a twist on expectations like in the endings of ep 1 and 2. I think we'll be able to get a better understanding once more characters come into play (like maybe ex fiancé and/or his family)

I remember watching this before aos s2 was released and had no idea I would see shin seung ho. I yelled (in my head) THE CROWN PRINCE IS GETTING BEAT UP!! he was a thug here too and I kept thinking about a turtle

I don't rly like how kang bit na is falling in love so quickly with the detective tho, I feel like not much has actually happened with them together yet. but I do like them as characters individually! I agree with her on how he's cute like a puppy but it's still too early for something serious to develop imo

and call me bitter but I still don't like baek ryu's mom. in ep 9 she yells at her daughter saying it was so difficult to raise her, then in ep 10 she admits that she gave more care to her son and let baek ryu figure things out on her own. It also annoyed me how she (and her dad) complain about financial situation when the mom often hangs out with her friends and goes on hiking trips, while the dad doesn't seem to have much of a social life at all and seems to be the only one with a job in the family now.

and how NOW finally in ep 10 they decide to give her a warm welcome (as opposed to her disastrous welcome in the first eps), after they found out she had cancer?? like why does someone have to survive cancer to be treated kindly. It was a kind idea of choisseung tho

am I the only one who thought it was weird moeum kissed the journalist right he talked about his wife dying?? I really think they can be a cute couple but that scene didn't give any butterflies whatsoever

absolutely agree! but I just didn't like it that she had to break up with him and erase his memories of her right before, wasted a perfectly good episode where we could have seen more couple moments together instead
