Just finished it. Couldnt really enjoy it. I love happy sweet lighthearted shows. But theres a limit. There needs to be some kind of .... "tension" between the leads to make it satisfying. This show is just a couple being lovey dovey to eachother from the start. So it just doesnt give you that feel of satisfaction when they get together. And I say this hating any kind of drama or angst in other shows. I always look for the most lighthearted ones. But this one... its just a couples life with a wierd, short and ridiculous premise. There needs to be something leading to the romance that makes you feel satisfied when it happens.
Just rewatched it a year after the first time. It's still beautiful and funny. The good part still takes too long…
- Both leads meet in sport university and soon relize they knew eatchother from elementary school. - ML spends a quite some episodes making fun of her and giving her a hard time (just small annoying jokes) - FL falls in love with MLs brother and does some crazy stuff just to be able to see him - ML finds out and makes even more fun of her. Yet he helps her try to get close to his brother - It's a one sided love, and both leads didnt like eatchother yet, so it's not an annoying love triangle... - ...except that it is too long. It lasts from about episode 2 to 10. Still, not annoying, ML just makes fun out of it. - In episode 10 FL finds out the brother likes another girl and decides to stop pursuing him. - FL and ML became very close friends lately, also they tease eatchotehr a lot, one making fun of the other and the other threatening him with hitting him. - In those latest episodes we also see ML starts to like FL, and at the end of episode 11 he confesses. She is shocked, she never thought about him as a guy. He proposes to go on some dates and then decide. - In episode 12 they go on a date to an amusement park, altho they are joined by their friends. - At the end of episode 12 FL tells him she already decided to "keep him", and they kiss. - Shortly after this there is a small event where she gets angry because she is jealous and doesnt want to admit it, but nothing major. - The show is very sweet, funnny and beautiful from this part on. With very satisfying moments. - In the last episode there is a 2 year fast forward, where we see them together with their families and talking about getting engaged.
Just rewatched it a year after the first time. It's still beautiful and funny. The good part still takes too long to start tho. I found FL a few times annoying shortly before they got together this time. Anyway, good show and beautiful last 4 episodes.
Finished it. Didn't like it. Actors and characters are good. The first half is good with the typical progression to the point where they get together, which is always when I start enjoying the show more... But not in this one.
First, characters were evolving naturally and they were about to get together. That part was good and they should have continued that way. But then something happens and their personalities kind of change. And they still get together (even quicker), but in a kind of unnatural way. They just dont feel as the characters from before.
Second, Like in many ghost romances, the second half focuses too much on the "intrigue part" while not being a good intrigue show. I couldnt care lesss about all the ghost stuff from the second part.
So, for me it has good characters and actors, and a good first half, but when it should have turned into an enjoyable romance (with comedy), it just changes the characters (not to being bad, quite the opposite, but it just doesnt fit them), and focuses on an uninteresting ghost story
Just rewatched this show. First time I watched it I loved it and rated it 96/100. Since it was one of my first kdramas, I wachted it almost 2 years ago, and I read quite a few bad comments about it, I convinced my self I must have overrated it. Well let me tell you, I just watched it again and it is frikin amazing. I agree the romance isnt the best, but its ok, and I usually watch tons of romance dramas. It's still enjoyable. But the show is just incredible. Villain FL carries this show like a boss. OMG, episodes 2-6 are amazing. All the interactions between ML and villain FL in those episodes are a must watch. I couldnt unglue myself from the screen during those episodes, and it was a rewatch. After those episodes, it's still great, but the scenes of them on those episodes are just amazing. And even tho I think villain FL was the best by far, that doesnt mean the rest were bad. Her husband nailed his role too for example. I think the actor fit that character perfectly. ML was great, and FL (who seems to be the one who gets more hate in the comments) was good too, just overshadowed by villain FL. I want to give credit to the writers of villain FL character too. The actress was amazing, but the character itself was so interesting and awesome.
Just finished it. I want to say quite a few things about it.1. It is very good. Much better than I expected. 2.…
Ok I want to talk about sFL and coach, because I read many bad comments about them, and I think they were good persons who did a few bad things, which are even almost understandable.
sFL: She has liked ML for a long time. She comes to the city just for him. WHen she arrives she finds out ML is going out with FL (fake) and is absolutly flawless about it. She doesnt get in between, she doesnt pursue him, not only does she not do anything against FL, she even helps her against bullies and becomes her friend. When she finds out it is a fake relationship, she is happy about it, and she is totally open with FL. She says she is so happy about it, now she can pursue ML. As time passes, she sometimes sees ML and FL being close, and she repeteadly asks FL if she really doesnt like ML. And FL always answers she doesnt, they are just friends. So sFL is always happy about it and keeps pursuing ML, and since she believes FL she confides in her and tells her her feelings Then, close to ML and FL being together, sFL finally starts being fed up with them being so close and does a few bad things. Like for example ML picked FLs favourite food for her and sFL didnt tell FL it was ML who did it. Just a few small things like that. And then ML proposes to sFL (by mistake) and she is soooo happy.... just to hear it was a mistake . Imagine how devastated she was. And then she does the "worst" thing she did, which is just not telling FL about the confession being a mistake for half a day. OMG this is the toxic sFL I read so many comments about? The poor girl just received a confession of her love and it was a mistake, and the worst she does is not explain it was a mistake to FL? Come on, poor girl.
Coach: I really dont understand what is wrong with the comments about this guy. Let me tell you, I HATE love triangles. But this is absolutly nothing. I watched this guy in the entire show with suspicious eyes because of the comments I read here, waiting for him to pursue FL or create some trouble... He does nothing of the sort in the entire show. Yes, we see in a few scenes that he fancies her, but never does ANYTHING about it. He is falwless, he is just her coach, that's it. Close to the end, he does his "bad" thing. Which is just that he secretly focuses FLs training into assisting another girl instead of into winning. And he knows he does wrong and is conflicted about it, but he made a promise to a dieing friend that he would make the other girl win a gold medal. Really, he was flawless the entire show never did any romantic aproach towards FL, helped her from episode 1 until the end and just made this bad decission because of an important promise. This is the moron coach many comments say? Come on, you made me look badly at him for the entire show thinking he would be an annoying love triangle and he was a totally good guy
Really, the show is as lighthearted as it can be. There are no bad characters, even the few that start bullying FL end up helping her and even the rivals that taunt them before the competitions, congratulate them after. And everybody shows them support, if not at the start, later. One of the most lighthearted shows ever.
Just finished it. I want to say quite a few things about it.1. It is very good. Much better than I expected. 2.…
I usually do a detailed romance recap based on episodes, but there arent many precise milestones here so Ill just explain it more or less:
- At the start they bicker - They start a fake relationship so ML can avoid another girl and in exchange he will help her with something else. - They start becoming very good friends (while still bickering/teasing eachother) - We see they start likeing eatchother. ML admits it to himself first. - In episode 21 ML prepares a big confession, but (ridiculously) it is dark and he confesses to sFL instead. FL already liked him and is devastated and (ridiculously again) wont even let him speak for 5 seconds to explain it. - In episode 22 ML can finally talk and explains it. He hears FL said she only liked him as a friend (she said it but didnt mean it), and ML leaves sad. - Same episode 22 FL confesses to ML and they get together. - They never fight or have any problem between them until the end.
Just finished it. I want to say quite a few things about it.
1. It is very good. Much better than I expected.
2. I am here for the romance, so I started skipping many sport and theater scenes that were not about the leads. But let me tell you, by the time they got together, even the sport part was very interesting. Even the competitions and trainings were both leads werent together were great in the second half. In the last competitions I was holding my breath. I still dont regret skipping a lot of that stuff in the beginning. If you are here for the romance I would do the same, because otherwise it may seem the romance takes ages to start.
3. The show is absolutly lighthearted. Much more than the comments here make it look. There are no vilains. Ive read terrible comments about sFL and about the coach. WTF, dont pay attention to them. They do a few minimal bad things and for the rest they are good people who also had problems which made them do a few bad decissions, but just minor things, they werent toxic at all
4. Their chemistry is amazing. ML is as good as in Forever Love, and FL is much better here than in Legally Romance (I loved that show, but FL didnt look as in love as ML). They are great togetehr even before being together, and even tho it takes them many episodes to get together, they have many sweet moments before. After getting together they are flawless to eachother and both show their love constantly, which is important for a good chemistry.
5. Dont expect many kisses. There are very few and quite small kisses. Some shows show their cuteness with good kisses, some with good hugs (a piece of your mind) and this one shows it with how they look at eachother. OMG those looks... This doesnt mean they dont hug, hold hands and sometimes kiss, I mean their best part are the looks.
I totally recommend the show, and if you just want the romance, just skip a lot of scenes at the start, it's worth it.
Yes it's good. They have a great chemistry. No break up, they have a healthy and mature relationship.
It's not completly different. All what you say is part of a mature relationship. But its not everything. If a couple cant kiss because they turn red from shame, you cant call it mature. What you describe is part of what defines a mature relationship indeed, but just part. A relationshipo can be healthy and childish at the same time.
Yes it's good. They have a great chemistry. No break up, they have a healthy and mature relationship.
wtf are you talking about. I didnt start dating with 14, because Im old now. I started with 16. But kids nowadays start with 14 or even sooner.
And you say: "You are right it's their 1st love, it's their 1st date so it should be like that." Im not saying it shouldnt be like that. Im saying it is not a mature relationship, it is a childish one. You just agreed with me, defending it is normal they behave like that. I didnt say it wasnt normal, I said it is not mature, which it isnt.
Yes it's good. They have a great chemistry. No break up, they have a healthy and mature relationship.
I agree. So you are right about the healthy relationship. But you cant call it mature when they behave like a 14 year old couple dating for the first time.
"It's a sports drama and not too focused on romance."Oh damn, I was about to start it and this discouraged me
No, I almost started it but stopped because I read there's an annoying triangle between episodes 13 and 18 more or less. I will still watch it since I've read many good things about it, but that part stopped me for now
"It's a sports drama and not too focused on romance."Oh damn, I was about to start it and this discouraged me
Im in episode 22, the get together. I skip most of the stuff thats not about the leads, and its good that way. They are sweet together many times before they really get together. It's just the show also shows things about his skating career, her skating career (which arent even the same so its 2 differenmt stories) the theater group of their friends.... I just skip most of that stuff. Not entirely, so I dont miss anything, but I keep pressing the right arrow to go quick over those scenes
And I say this hating any kind of drama or angst in other shows. I always look for the most lighthearted ones. But this one... its just a couples life with a wierd, short and ridiculous premise. There needs to be something leading to the romance that makes you feel satisfied when it happens.
So, sweet, yes. Satisfyingly sweet? No
- ML spends a quite some episodes making fun of her and giving her a hard time (just small annoying jokes)
- FL falls in love with MLs brother and does some crazy stuff just to be able to see him
- ML finds out and makes even more fun of her. Yet he helps her try to get close to his brother
- It's a one sided love, and both leads didnt like eatchother yet, so it's not an annoying love triangle...
- ...except that it is too long. It lasts from about episode 2 to 10. Still, not annoying, ML just makes fun out of it.
- In episode 10 FL finds out the brother likes another girl and decides to stop pursuing him.
- FL and ML became very close friends lately, also they tease eatchotehr a lot, one making fun of the other and the other threatening him with hitting him.
- In those latest episodes we also see ML starts to like FL, and at the end of episode 11 he confesses. She is shocked, she never thought about him as a guy. He proposes to go on some dates and then decide.
- In episode 12 they go on a date to an amusement park, altho they are joined by their friends.
- At the end of episode 12 FL tells him she already decided to "keep him", and they kiss.
- Shortly after this there is a small event where she gets angry because she is jealous and doesnt want to admit it, but nothing major.
- The show is very sweet, funnny and beautiful from this part on. With very satisfying moments.
- In the last episode there is a 2 year fast forward, where we see them together with their families and talking about getting engaged.
Anyway, good show and beautiful last 4 episodes.
Romance recap below
Btw, I talk bad about that part, but it's a subjective feeling because I don't like when that happens. The show is ok
But not in this one.
First, characters were evolving naturally and they were about to get together. That part was good and they should have continued that way. But then something happens and their personalities kind of change. And they still get together (even quicker), but in a kind of unnatural way. They just dont feel as the characters from before.
Second, Like in many ghost romances, the second half focuses too much on the "intrigue part" while not being a good intrigue show. I couldnt care lesss about all the ghost stuff from the second part.
So, for me it has good characters and actors, and a good first half, but when it should have turned into an enjoyable romance (with comedy), it just changes the characters (not to being bad, quite the opposite, but it just doesnt fit them), and focuses on an uninteresting ghost story
I had to force myself to finish it
First time I watched it I loved it and rated it 96/100. Since it was one of my first kdramas, I wachted it almost 2 years ago, and I read quite a few bad comments about it, I convinced my self I must have overrated it.
Well let me tell you, I just watched it again and it is frikin amazing. I agree the romance isnt the best, but its ok, and I usually watch tons of romance dramas. It's still enjoyable.
But the show is just incredible. Villain FL carries this show like a boss. OMG, episodes 2-6 are amazing. All the interactions between ML and villain FL in those episodes are a must watch. I couldnt unglue myself from the screen during those episodes, and it was a rewatch. After those episodes, it's still great, but the scenes of them on those episodes are just amazing.
And even tho I think villain FL was the best by far, that doesnt mean the rest were bad. Her husband nailed his role too for example. I think the actor fit that character perfectly.
ML was great, and FL (who seems to be the one who gets more hate in the comments) was good too, just overshadowed by villain FL.
I want to give credit to the writers of villain FL character too. The actress was amazing, but the character itself was so interesting and awesome.

Romance recap and talk about sFL and coach below
A relationshipo can be healthy and childish at the same time.
And you say: "You are right it's their 1st love, it's their 1st date so it should be like that."
Im not saying it shouldnt be like that. Im saying it is not a mature relationship, it is a childish one. You just agreed with me, defending it is normal they behave like that. I didnt say it wasnt normal, I said it is not mature, which it isnt.
