First of all, and let me get this out of the way, the ex-boyfriend, his father and her father were completely frustrating and at times disgusting to watch. Who do you think you are that you can make decisions and plan things for someone else, even when that person has completely moved on from you and is actually planning to marry another person?

The older sister’s husband/ex-husband was another one.

The relationship between the main leads left me with some doubts. I can tell they love each other but they did argue about small things as they were dating, although they did not let those things split them up, I can imagine that after getting married and after some years, or like people say, once the honeymoon phase is over, I can imagine some bigger arguments taking place. I think this a possibility because of how different they are. He holds back a lot, and she is always upfront about things. And what if Eun Woo’s mother suddenly shows up one day wanting her kid back or something? Imagine how much turbulence that could cause in their marriage. And there is always her father which I imagine will be pointing out her husband’s faults at every family gathering, which could also create some friction between both families, even if the mothers got along well and his father is very understanding. So yeah, this was one of the hardest to trust romantic relationships I have seen in the drama land.

In a perfect world their little arguments would end very fast without them getting seriously angry, the mother will never show up to get the kid back, her father will end up getting used to the idea of them together and who knows maybe even get along with him, .......but that’s not how it works. Thankfully this is a drama so we can just imagine this is how their future will be. In real life things would be a lot different.

This is one of those romance dramas that is more focused on the slice of life genre than anything else. Because of that, most people will either like it or find it not to be their cup of tea and probably drop it. I don’t think I was in either group actually. I liked it, or at least some of it, but watching it slowly while it was airing played a big part in that. I don’t think I would be able to binge-watch this drama without skipping A LOT of scenes. That said, I did not think it was a bad drama and I did enjoy it so to be fair I gave it a 7.5/10, but I would not be able to give it a higher rating because there are so many other dramas that I enjoyed a lot more and gave a 8/10 rating.

There were some things I would like to comment on tho.

Liked some things, did not like other. Thought this could have definitely been better if it was shorter. The last episodes were just dragging things and I was quite bored. The ending was disappointing but I was already counting on it since the drama as a whole did not meet my expectations. Although I did not particularly like the ending of the original version (the japanese one), it was still better than this one. Even tho I was waiting for Min Ah to make a come back as an actress, this drama did not meet my expectations and I would have liked to see her play a different kind of character. At the end of the day I do not regret watching this, but I don’t feel it added much to my drama experience, it was just another drama I watched.

That sucks then because here he does not have a good ending either and he is more of a supporting character since he does not show up that much. Maybe in a future drama he will get a lead role and his deserved happy ending.

Are you a big fan of him? If so, then yeah, you will definitely need more than 1 box of tissues. RIP you.

Another drama that was not fully subbed and might never be. Sigh
I have not started it and I probably wont since the last ep subbed is ep 11 and it has been like half a year since the subs stopped.

I also had that feeling since ep1, he just did not look at her the way a brother would. Him being so quiet, his eyes betrayed him. The look on his eyes always gave away his feelings for her, we just did not know the details and how sad it would be. I have nothing against the male lead, but after knowing all the details and the story behind everything, I kinda wished she would end up with RQ. I felt so bad for him. T_T

Yup. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more about him and their relationship that you don’t know yet. Be patient tho. Some things will legit only be revealed in the last episode, and have a box of tissue paper next to you, you might need it.

Oh ok, I was under the impression you had already watched the last 2 episodes because someone else had watched until episode 56 so I sent him the links for the other 2. Got a little bit confused there. Lol

No problem. Now that you have finished the entire series, what are your thoughts?

The last 2 episodes are subbed. If you want I can send you the links through a private message. Don’t want to share them here for the sake of the subbers.

Thank you! Yes, watching it while it was airing just made it much better, that is why I recommended people who are going to start now that is fully subbed, to not binge watch it.

It is from a facebook group. You have to join the group and be accepted first. I cannot give you the link because that is not allowed by their rules but search facebook for Chinese and English Drama. This is the page that manages that group.

Unfortunately the group was just taken down and they are not sure if they will be able to get it back so you might have to be patient. What I can do is trying to look through my history for the last 2 episodes since they were uploaded on google drive and not facebook. If I find them, I will send them to you in a private message.

The manga is complete? I have only found 25 chapters translated and the story did not seem complete, unless you are talking about the raws. But even the raws, I checked mangaupdates which I use as reference when I want to know these things and it says that in Japan 12 volumes have come out but it is still ongoing.

Yeah, but I have actually watched more tragedy chinese dramas than open ending, so I was caught off guard at the time.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don’t want to spoil it for you but let’s just say her character will see some evolution in the next episodes, maybe just not as strong as she was first presented to us, so yeah, in that sense, her character became kind of a disappointment.

All 28 episodes have been subbed. I just finished watching this.

... she legit only gets together with him at the middle of the last episode, then you have the rushed ending with a wedding and a kid. Like seriously, I love happy endings, but this one was just so rushed that I could not even enjoy it. We did not get to see more than just a few minutes of them as a couple, while I had to spend hours watching her dating 4 other guys who I knew from the beginning were never the endgame. The whole fake pregnancy thing was completely unnecessary. I would have rather had those last few episodes show the main leads as a couple. That was the least we deserved after having to put up with watching her with 4 other guys for 24 episodes or so.

So yeah, I enjoyed parts of it or I would not have finished it, but it really is far from being a great drama and I doubt I will ever re-watch it.

I mean, it’s not a bad drama BUT the story is so dumb and predictable. You can tell from episode 1 who she is going to end up with and how the drama is going to end, yet you have to go through the whole thing seeing her date 4 other guys and... (spoiler below)

Other than advertising the manga, I cannot see any other reason why someone would make an anime, movie or drama out of an incomplete story. That is something that annoys me about jdramas. There is a high chance you will spend several hours watching something that does not have a conclusion.
