I don’t need this to be some creme de la creme of romance. Just decently written, good character development with a dash of great back & forth energy/interaction between the leads where they actually talk to each other like people & not cardboards staring at each other. Is it to hard to ask for?! Lol, …..please :(. Romance in kdramas have been just so damn bad the past I don’t know 5-10 yrs lol. Heck probably forever. Ugh.

Don’t know why screenwriters always take some sort of shit stained liberty with the original source material & make a nonsensical drama version of it.
I was planning to continue it but I’m glad I didn’t. Not like I had high expectation for this drama. This drama is not unique or realistic. It draws the same bullsh*t cliche “bad boy changes because of girl-love” trope & girl’s “whole existence” revolves around some toxic guy, just without the overt assertiveness & physical aggressiveness, wrapped & sugarcoated in pretty aesthetic & cafe music. It’s so lame lazy shallow cardboard writing with cardboard characters.

The romance genre in kdrama-land truly is a dead genre. I hope Hometown ChaChaCha don’t disappoint :/.

People have diff opinions. Where are the rude ones? I have yet to spot any stupid or rudeness in this comment sections from anyone. Calling someone stupid or disgusting is rude. People don’t have to & not like a character if they simply don’t like a character or stuff that happens in the show, sheesh.

There’s no need to call people/comments stupid, that’s totally uncalled for. Like this is a fictional tv SHOW not a real life documentary lol. Ya’ll are projecting personal experiences into this drama waaayyy too much. Chill.

Yes, I’ve seen the typical ‘nice guy’ or ML doing nice things without any personality in dramas. Not only are they written to be innocently perfect or lack flaws, their whole personality or arc revolves around or waiting for the girl to leave the ‘bad boy’ & nothing else. Sometimes they also come off as clingy & entitled because they feel like they deserve the girl since they are ‘sweet’ & nice when they are just overbearing. It is so annoying. You can most definitely write a ‘nice guy’ ML/male character with emotional depth & nuance who isn’t a sticking plaster to the FL & can exist outside of the FL’s circle as his own being.

The correct choice is NB choosing herself.

JE & DH aren’t entitled to NB. I hope she drops JE like a can of spoiled worms.

Does anyone know the air date for this?

A director can definitely elevate SK’s acting if they really work with him. Sometimes the director can either break or make the actor. The thing is SK tends to play characters who are emotionally stunted but his portrayal seems so & so. I liked him in Naverilla & Sweet Home but those roles don’t require dramatic performances. I do think he cries well though. Acting classes & coaching would be good for him. But then again I feel like casting directors hire SK for his visual-appearance since he’s marketable in that department.

I always said that his acting is pretty wooden in terms of his line delivery. It is not good. His veteran costar told him about getting some acting & vocalization coaching to pronounce words better. Not sure if he’s taking any since then lol.

And waste production money on a S2 for this. No, I’d rather Netflix actually spend money on producing some other new dramas.

I seen those comments lol. Heck, if his character didn’t get the girl in Love Alarm ( a drama I did not watch) then maybe there’s a reason lol. JE def should not be with NB either.

Sometimes people just need to be alone & stay single sheesh.

Wow, honestly the straightforwardness in the webtoon writing would have made the drama much more exciting to watch lol. The drama really did not need to be 10 ep.

I haven’t read the webtoon but did it play out this way too?

I mean she can definitely have both but at the moment, she’s stuck in a predicament, both her career & the guy. I’m not saying NB has to have everything figured it out but like you say, she doesn’t have good communication skills when it comes to relationship. JE doesn’t either. I mean if he just wants an open fling, then it shouldn’t matter to him if she doesn’t want to be with him anymore. I haven’t seen the latest ep so but I still prefer if NB work on herself at the moment.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a partner & career but NB is still in college who hasn’t quite navigate to deal with both? She’s stuck in a rut with her art studies, she got out of a toxic-shit relationship & now she’s in one where she doesn’t really know what to do. She should figure her own self-worth. JE is a gaslighter & NB always seems to be in an emotional conundrum with him.

Some self help & alone time for herself would be a good option. Like a whole new intervention/start. I mean it’s really annoying to see a FL being heavily dependent emotionally on a guy who’s a douche to the point she can’t function. NB is better off without JE.

At this point, I’m assuming people just like JE because of Song Kang. SK is lucky he’s cute because if it was a diff less attractive non-marketable non-mainstream actor, opinions would differ. I mean why would you want NB to be with someone who is emotionally & mentally draining and gaslights her. It’s like drowning yourself in fire without anyone putting it out lol.

Sol & JW side of the show is def more interesting than the MLS, that I will say.

Being ‘co-dependent’ on someone emotionally & physically is NOT good. NB can actually confide in someone as a friend, not as a romantic partner. She need to find a new group of folks to hang with tbh. She does not need a distraction. NB needs to focus on her school & other life stuff lol. Like go intern at some art studio/museum or look for a job. NB needs to grow as an individual.

It’s not a dumb question lol but Honestly I haven’t completely watched it either lol but I’m assuming yes?
