Right. My favorite has to be the one that gives off those early 2000’s 1hr photo feels with SMN & KSH sitting on the bench with the beach backdrop.

The color palette, the hazy effect,
& color coded clothing. The stylist really knows how to dress them! Very cuuute :).

Gonna keep tabs of Hometown Cha3x. Hope it doesn’t disappoint & also Oath of Love.

Thank goodness they got rid of his pic form the cast. Will they be reshooting promo pics too? Ones without him in it?

29 ep…not too long. If we’re going by standard 1 hr kdrama ep, it would be about 21 episodes. I hope it’s goood. Just want to watch a decent romance drama because the kdrama romance department is lacking lol. Def need a memo to watch this. Sept 8 it is lol.

Two more daaays. :D

Ooh awa the grandma from Mouse is in here. I hope she gets a happy ending in this one lol.

Oh I heard of that drama but haven’t seen it yet. I took a break from summer k dramas new releases. It’s been dry lol. Thanks for the memo!

Along with the cheese-ball @$$ dialogue specifically in last ep where they so called made-up lol when JE says he’s dOesN’T FEeel sick at all because he’s with NB lolololol…SURE dude sure lol. *eye rolls.

I read somewhere that SK is an anti-JE so he gets 1 goodie point from me lol.

Hmmm… I think the screenwriter had intended that part to be romantic from NB’s perspective with the “fell in love at first sight” dialogue glossed over with pretty music lol. Eveything had been coincidental to NB when she met JE but now NB knows that JE already knew of her when he saw her that time like it’s some fate analogy lol. NB did curiously decided to go back to his place to see if he’s home after seeing her sketchbook lol. But to me, it’s really weird given the situation at that time in the exhibit lol.

Lol yeah I know. The ending is pretty obvious.

At this point I’m assuming that everyone likes NB & JE endgame is because of SK or something lol. Why would anyone what to be with a weird turd who not only exhibit stalker-ish traits but is really immature & wishy-washy who who doesn’t even know how to simply communicate. I don’t see him as someone who’s misunderstood broken blah blah blah either. His actions are pretty telling about his character. I would have enjoyed the drama if it actually stuck with the webtoon because it makes so much more sense from a writing standpoint.

It’s not even an open ending so there’s nothing left to interpret. NB point blank says to the audience she knows she’s gonna get hurt but she’s gonna go through with it anyways. Like she reverted back to the same old toxic relationship as she did with her ex lol but acknowledges it this time. That’s basically what happens. She’s in this never-ending cycle of shitty relationships where she knows she gonna get hurt. An open ending would be she ends up with no one & cross pass JE or DH years later.

I just find writing inconsistent & not very convincing.

Then throw in a SL that’s also fixated on her which is also annoying.

Let’s not coddle JE as some sort misunderstood little puppy. JE is a grown adult & his actions are pretty obvious. He literally taunts NB every time he talks to other girl with his stupid tag line “ Do you want to see my butterflies”. Like imagine your name meaning butterfly & hear some douche use it to get girls to sleep with him lol. It’s teeth gritting cringe lol. If JE cliche “fell in love at first sight” with NB then why does he act like a complete buffoon who can’t communicate as if he’s got a road stuck in his throat? Instead of the whole push & pull games & absurd gestures from the start, he can simply talk to NB, the one that he “oh so fatefully fell in love with”? Makes illogical sense. I don’t buy that JE, a serial flirt, deeply fell in love with NB who he barely even knew that well & vice versa. It’s inconsistent in characterization.

That’s why I say the screen writer didn’t know what to do with JE. He’s either a stalker-like casanova or stalker-like romantic but he’s both :/. Which is lame. JE fell in love with NB in her most vulnerable & uncomfortable state when she saw her own replica model’s naked a$$ exposed to everyone? Like the screenwriter wants this to be read as romantic lol??? In a NB’s sketchbook that he took & drew in without NB knowing. It’s laughably bad & cringe and unconvincing. NB ended up with a weird turd who’s gonna give her migraines everyday. She’s ‘bout to pop Tylenol & buy boxes of Kleenex. That should’ve been this dramas sponsored product placement lol.

Lol that eye emoji comment. Pretty much, cardboard cutouts staring at each other. Also the dialogue is dry & cringe. Especially that makeup scene between NB & JE lol at the exhibit in the last ep. The stiff monotone line delivery is apparent lol.

I agree, when I first watched this when it aired, I thought maybe this drama HAD potential to subvert tropes & stray away from cliches.

Yep,

Letting go & moving on is also a realistic option. Why should people stay in a relationship forever that gives them headache. Also, the drama suffers from odd inconsistencies.

The reason why people dislike the ending or overall drama is because normalized toxic relationships & behavior is oversaturated & abundance in kdramas (and in general) more so than relationships that is portrayed in the webtoon. If the screenwriter had adapted the core essence of the webtoon’s story, then the drama would have been MORE unique & not the same run-over-the mill bs. When was the last time a drama written in kdramaland that’s straight-forward & doesn’t sugar coat toxic behavior where the FL gets to leave that shit behind & with real-good character development ??? The fact that the JE got some BS-plot amor-character development & not NB who’s the main protagonist is annoying AF.

I have yet to see anyone bashing the actors or the writer personally. The writing & acting definitely had many constructive criticism but hey, if some say, “Well this drama was garbage” then it’s garbage to them. If you like this drama then you like the drama. I haven’t seen anyone who ‘loved’ the drama being called names or ridiculed by those who ‘hated’ it at all on this forum. Where’s the attacks & name-calling?

Aren’t you the one calling people names right now with the condescending “preteen” comment.

The posters for this drama are really good :0.

Please be a good romance.
