I guess revenge was the main drive of FL’s character, causing her to betray her first love a few times over but the revenge plot execution here was quite underwhelming

🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not familiar with this novel nor the actors but I was looking forward to a more angsty ML. His character is supposed to be a love deprived, agonizingly reckless person who was abandoned and ill from psych issues. Instead, we got a time skip and he’s only dated a girl for a few days in those 10 years apart from FL

🤦🏻‍♀️ FL character claimed that she fell first in love (2013) with ML. That doesn’t make sense because she was acting contrary to being in love by continuously pushing him away throughout their adolescence

😴 Be ready to bear through the pain of business mumbo-jumbo so FL can inflict her mini-revenge on ML’s dad

😠 2ndML did not have to simp and use leverage to ask FL to leave ML. They made his character epically pathetic so many times. He finally came through by saving the cp but the actor was hilariously stiff-backed (no hate lol)

This cp’s ending, as well as 2nd cp’s, was satisfying with a perfectly lengthy dating era. Plenty of cute moments of mains being uber fluffy. Not satisfied with some things that I’ll mention with a spoiler tag

Rated 8.5 with no rewatch value

I’m not familiar with him nor this novel character prior to picking this up this cdrama but his acting was quite impressive on the 1st half of this drama — which was what originally pulled me in.

Sadly, I agree with your comment that he hasn’t portrayed the complexities of this love-starved-miserably-betrayed-artist in the latter half of the airing episodes. Not exactly sure if the bad editing had something to do with it but I feel we have lost the plot

What a fail the last 2 episodes have been, The hater era was planted but didn’t root

Oh now I get that scene through your comment. It was totally lost in translation for this US drama watcher and I wasn’t convinced by the CPs acting there as well as throughout the last few episodes. I’m slightly annoyed that she moved in when they’re not communicating about their past transgressions

Thanks for this recc. I needed another enemies-to-lovers drama and 1st episode is intriguing

Re-watched, not remembering much of the storyline until it unfolds and I’m bawling my eyes out with this beautifully innocent young love that’s enduring all setbacks

Still a 10 rating with a epically high re-watch value! 🥹

It was a sexy and cute scene but so misplaced with the follow-up scene of LXX going to her neighborhood while she was dining on the streets. Their adult era is confusing!

I came to the conclusion that ZW’s company is contracted with Aunt’s business proposal, which she won against LXX’s Dad’s team (he didn’t want her updating what he had already worked on 20 years ago). LXX knowing that inside knowledge is now going to willingly join the family business so that he can use his leverage to oppose and/or pursue ZW

Edited to add after Ep22 - I’m confused with why bot of ZW and LXX’s companies were contending for Phase II of project proposal but yet the Aunt is still their boss? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ep21 - I caught the gist that LXX was telling his Aunt that he wasn’t going to give up pursuing ZW, which prompted her to give him insider knowledge of ZW being involved in the Aunt’s business project. Looks like LXX business suits era!!!

I haven’t scrolled down this comment section today but I’m glad you’ve posted and summarized what I’ve seen during the past week. I’ve easily ignored most of those comments that have horrible grammar or a new account — it seems haters have an unlimited amount of time in their hands 🤷🏻‍♀️

As for the more concise comments that verge on the unpopular opinion about unrequited first loves, its quite possible these people are reflecting and hurting from “simping” another person in their lives or have never felt this kind of deep affection before. Sadly, there may also be a rare amount of drama watchers that are devoid of an empathy bone and are here trying to sort it out while judging for having an empathetic skeleton 😂

TIA for this novel link. I’ll save it for the future, after the show’s finale

Re-watching Ep20 and hopefully get answers to questions I had when I watched yesterday. Maybe novel readers can answer if you know?

Did ZW leave town during this separation time? How she paid LXX back so quickly? How she afforded school again?

I don’t have enough tears to re-watch today but I’ll be doing so tmrw 😢

We all did! 😭 I’m wondering though, if ZW moved to another town (she packed her bags) or did she stay in town to go to school? I mean, if she lived at her grandma’s house this whole time, wouldn’t LXX have found her

Ep20 was brilliantly angsty and agonizingly bittersweet! Strangely, their separation was so cinematically beautiful that I will surely find myself re-watching this episode over and over 😭

They forgot to hire the “homeless/on-the-run” stylist 😂

I’m in another kind of conundrum. To stay with the daily episodes because they’re cute together or hold because we know there’s more angst down the line 🥰😢

Epi17 - PURE FLUFF! This is what a summer romance drama is about. Uber worth the time that was put into watching this show. Dazzling could never! 😂

MLs are unfamiliar to me but I’m liking their chemistry and acting. Didn’t even know ZKY was a singer and loving his OST as well as main OST 🎶

Epi16 - If you’re in the medical field, turn off your patient health information legal knowledge and let the kdrama logic move the story forward by creating another conflict 🤦🏻‍♀️
