20 eps in and this drama is so good, I can't believe I've already watched 20, it feels like it moves so quickly. LOVING the romantic tension between the leads, so fun how they flirt non-stop at this point. Love whoever is playing the duke, he does not let a lot show on his face, yet I don't find him boring or wooden at all, the actor does such a good job with tiny expressions to let you know his inner world, he's so captivating.

Kim Young Dae is so good with comedy, love this role for him. Hope the story is decent.

So refreshing to see her taking on this darker role, I think she'll do a great a job. And there is just something about KYD I find so appealing idk man. Excited for this one. I like it when they have a webtoon to draw from, it often makes the plot more coherent and they don't run out of story halfway through like almost all dramas these days.

She sold it in a huge way in moon embracing the sun with Jingoo and love in the moonlight w bogum, but I think that worked because they were both kids in moon and Bogum is also very childlike/innocent as an actor. Kim Young Dae brings an innocence and gentleness to all his roles so I think it will work well here, esp siince in this role she needs to have a sharper edge.

I liked the bong su plotine at first a lot, I think they should have wrapped his up at episode 9, and then focused on Yeom Hwa as the ultimate villian vs forcing her into a redemption arc.

OMG yes, such a great comparison! spot on.

I'm a little salty Ji Ho didn't have a secondary love line, or any of his own goals in life really? that woulda been super nice. I think the actor squeezed every last drop out of that script, and made what could have been (and probably should have been) a forgettable character into a memorable one. will def check out his next project

Bruh you are obviously just looking for attention, since you can't get positive you'll take negative, like a kid throwing rocks to get people to notice him. And I guess I'll give you a little more since that's what you crave.

An actor's main goal is to elicit an emotional response in the audience. IU does that for many many many many people, so maybe she's not your cup of tea, or you're projecting your own inadequacy on her or whatever is going on with you, but she's not a bad actor just because you don't like her. And calling her the worst actress in Asia is an obvious exaggeration and shows you're not coming from a genuine place with your "hot take"

But hey you got a few people on MDL to argue with you, so you must feel really cool and smart.

Like a lot of dramas this had a great starts and kinda fizzled out at the end. idk why writers never seem to have enough of a story for all episodes. It stopped being about Gyoen U and his curse and focused too much on Bong Su and Yeom Hwa, and the bong su storyline just kept repeating and dragging out, the last eps were confusing and kinda pointless until the end. Also the writer had no idea what to do with Ji HO after midway and he was just kinda there doing nothing for episodes, he contributed nothing to the plot. There were some really good character moments but just not enough story. But I still enjoyed it and I'll miss the characters and world.

I don't know much about him but from this article he seems very grounded, thoughtful, and sensitive. I have new respect for him after reading this.

Ok the whole Bongsu plotline gives me whiplash -- he was out here murdering people as a vengeful spirit, but then once possessed acts like a sulky teen with a good heart and is used for comedy most of the time, but they still talk about him as if he is super dangerous, but also no one seems THAT concerned about him even though he is supposedly pure evil, and they're even letting him take over Gyeon U's body?? The tone is wayyyy off, and it feels so confusing.

I binged this in 1 day and I'm ANGRY that I didn't wait till the end. This drama is SO fun and interesting. The FL is so funny and adorable. I love how genuine she is. This is the only time a pushover FL hasn't annoyed me because even tho she doesn't stand up for herself, she will do anything to help her friends or others in need.

I wish we had way more second leads like Ji Ho, who actually knows what love and friendship means. He is not putting his own feelings or wants over her wants or needs, and he's also not basing his entire personality around her and is not obsessive or weird. He is just a normal, good guy who has a big crush on his close friend. He has really admirable sense of integrity and respect. And I really love that they make him friends with Gyeon U in his own right and not just because of Seong A.

This drama has all the usual tropes but they've added fresh twists onto them so it feels like a new story. Really enjoying it, I'm glad I finally listened to all of you saying how amazing it is.

Loving this for MinYoung, I like that she is taking meatier roles

I miss when Bo Gum used to play a serial killer, he is the same guy with a heart of gold in every show now. I wanna see him do something different where he plays a villain or at least an anti-hero,

He is a treasure.

Whoa this guy picks amazing projects!! Respect.

These leads gonna have banger chemistry, I cannot wait to watch them bicker.

I used to love Hong Sisters dramas but then realized they have no idea how to sustain a drama. They always start with such clever, interesting premises and use tropes SO well, and their actual scene to scene writing is some of the best out there, but plotwise and character arc wise everything falls apart about halfway through and then they manage to usually finish up decently so people forget the shite that was the third quarter of the story.

I wish people could understand that slice of life dramas are all about really settling in and living with a group of people for 12 episodes. The point of the story isn't merely to entertain you or give you endless dopamine hits, it's to let you feel like a fly on the wall and leave you with a deep, meaningful understanding of some part of human nature or the world we live in. The plot and the character arcs unfold slowly and subtly, like they would closer to real life. It's not supposed to be a hollywood blockbuster where all these crazy dramatic plot points keep happening to the characters and everything is spelled out all the time and these dreamy romances unfold-- the drama is all internal, in the minds and hearts of the characters, in their own internal conflict that gets projected onto others to create everyday conflict between characters. Think how much we know about every single main and side character in this show. Even the SA Manager feels like a real person rather than just a trope. It's fine to like more exciting dramas but don't come into a slice of life expecting it to be one of those, it's much much more if you will let it be.

Esp because she also had wanted a family--what other option did she have?

How did everything change at the end? Mirae went through sooo much change, little by little she adjusted her viewpoint until she saw the full truth of herself--her character mistruth was that "It's better to stay quiet and safe than it is to face a problem head on and possibly fail" and even by halfway she had realized that she can't just escape to the countryside, she needed to go live her own life, so how had she not grown by the halfway point? And then spent the last few episodes little by little paring down her old mistruth, until she understood the full truth of the lie she had been living. Same with Miji. After the swap where they both discovered things about themself they then again changed when facing their old identity. It's not the kind of writing to hit you over the head and spell everything out in obvious dialogue, it's subtle and realisitc, so maybe that's why you missed it idk
