Oh, wow... I can't help it, must be excited for this! I just hope it's not one of those dramas that never airs.

I have watched Soredemo but not the others. Thank you!

Thanks!

I recently watched One Spring Night. To me it doesn't even come close to compare, I barely even liked it.

I strongly recommend A Piece of Your Mind, My Liberation Notes, and maybe When the Weather is Fine, and Summer Strike. If you're open to watching Chinese dramas, I strongly recommend Meet Yourself.

I wish I could rewatch it. The Korean remake was recommended to me by someone who hasn't seen the original. It took 50 minutes before the leads even met. *sigh* And from a hint in the beginning, I suspect Mariko has been turned into a guy and the rest of the family hasn't even been introduced yet. This is why I normally don't wath remakes...

Thank you! It has been on my radar for a while but I haven't watched it yet. Maybe your comment was the push I needed to move it up on my PTW list. :)

Ever since I watched this drama (2016), I have been looking for something similar. I do NOT mean similar plot. I mean the mood and atmosphere, the quiet gentleness, the sad yet heartwarming "feel" of the story, the comfort and connection the leads find in each other, and the cinematography. The only ones I've found are My Liberation Notes and A Piece of Your Mind - by the same screenwriter, so it's not surprising that that's the most similar one I've found! I wish there was more...

Was there really no other way to make it 16 episodes? I have probably never seen something so stupid. They know the villain is obsessed, so if they have to do something crazy as to let Ah Rin travel alone (and her mother isn't there on time after all this!!), why not use it as a perfect opportunity to catch Yun Jin?! It should have been their plan to be there to wait for her to come and take Ah Rin.

I. know, but their bond turned into something stronger than that. :)

Enjoyable and surprisingly good. It could very well have had "Sisterhood" as a title instead of Alliance!

Haha, yeah, for sure!

I think you're right about Kwon Yoon Jin, but I think that it is the twin brother died and the husband is the one who is impersonating him. He makes Kwon Yoon Jin think that he is his brother, and he does this for the same reason he didn't tell his wife: he loves his child but is tired of being a stay at home dad with a wife who is always working, so when his brother died he took his identity as a way to have two lives and no one will see him as a cheater.

Of course, I am not at all sure, it was just what I was thinking!

Oh, is it like that?! I guess I missed something then. I thought the twin brother died and the husband jumped on the chance of having two identities. I mean that the friend actually believes that she is dating the twin but he's actually the husband who is cheating... *lol* I don't know, I thought that way when I watched it, but maybe you're the one who has it figured out!

I'm glad to hear it, thank you for telling me! :)

I loved this so much. It has some mysterious parts, but it was wonderful. The feeling was wonderful, so soft and warm.

Yeah, some dramas just are like this... Sometimes when something gets extremely popular I wonder what kind of weirdo I am for seeing this completely differently. Well, but we're all different and can't always like the same thing as everyone else.

Thanks for your input. I guess I'll not watch it after all. I have nothing against age gaps as such, I just tend to not like how dramas make it look like.

When it's an older woman and a younger man, the woman is often lonely and insecure (even when she's successful and hides it by pretending to be "cold"), while the guy is confident and happy, Sometimes, he's like an excited puppy who won't stop jumping up and down until she smiles - the kind of guy who falls first and follows her around. She's worried about what people will think and that he¨ll be tired of her soon. She may be older, but is often less experienced. It's like the "noona romance" type of woman needs a younger guy to be able to feel free and relaxed in life; she needs to laugh more and have fun, and young people know how to have fun.

Well, maybe it's not always like this, but I find that many are similar. I'd watch a drama with a mature FL who knows what she wants and seduces the ML. Then they can laugh and have fun, but I want her to fall first and be more like a Mrs Robinson... who doesn't lose to a younger girl in the end. *lol*

That's one reason why I prefer older man/younger woman. Or maybe that's because I prefer a mature man to a puppy boy, and the same with women.

Well, of course this is turned out like a general rant, because I don't know what this drama is like...

It's a couple of years since I watched it, now I mostly remember that it annoyed me but I still completed it! Good to know I'm not the only one. Thank you for reading and commenting!

Same here! I wish he was in more dramas.
