This ticks all my boxes: good actors (who do actual acting), slice of life, ensemble cast, ordinary people (no top 1% nonsense), realistic stories, lovely Jeju. Let's hope it stays that way and doesn't segue into lots of creepy staring dressed up as 'romance'.

Some very mild (by Korean drama standards) verbal bullying on a bus.

Only the very, very thick - people who struggle to put their socks on in the morning - would conflate drama and reality, surely?

Not quite your version, is it? No 'affair' for a start.

Why not? It's not as if the 'moderators' on this site will do anything about it.

Are all the other comments on this page invisible to you?

Park Eun Bin is one of my favourite actresses and he was decent in Run On so the cast, at least, is good. Still a bit nervous about the premise - Aspergers, particularly in women, is a difficult thing to convey.

The FL killed this for me. Not the actress - but the character, written as a sociopath. And then we're expected to believe that a secret agent falls in love with this person? Just no.

But that's what stalkers say/believe. That if only they're persistent the object of their affections will eventually return their 'love'. In reality this only works in dramas. In real life you'd face restraining orders.

Me too. Except that I saw her in this first - where all she does is snivel and stare (yes, I realise that's the way the character is written but lordy). And then I saw her in TRS. Completely different actress it seemed like.

This drama is like a cookie from one of those mall chains - thoroughly enjoyable while you're eating it but you won't remember it in a couple of days. That said I think they go some things spot on - the female lead was spirited without being a violent, screechy drunk; I loved the bits of humour, some of the meta-references and when it went against trope (she produced the umbrella, she didn't bow and snivel in front of grandad).

I agree - I thought the ending was perfect. And made clear almost from the start.

One of the - relatively - small things that impressed me about this is how convincing Kim Tae Ri is as an 18/19 year old at the start of the timeline. Sometimes, e.g. the 40-something FL in Melancholia who was meant to be mid-20s, this is jarringly bad, but not here. Yes, KTR is fresh-faced but she also did real acting - expressing the lively spirit of a young adult.

My thoughts are that MDL shouldn't be vomiting up this trash and that I bitterly regret paying to be a member of this website, particularly as you won't let me cancel.

Ji Woong's career and Yi Jin's had completely different demands. As a 'news man' Yi Jin was always going to put the big, breaking story first. And Hee Do had already had enough of that with her Mum - e.g. missing her Dad's funeral.

I really, really loved the ending. I did worry, at one point, they were going to give us a bullshit, fanservice, last-frame reconciliation thing but they stuck to the way the story had been all the way through - raw and honest. Hee do might not have ended up with her 'first love' but she'd met (and loved) Yi Jin at a pivotal time in both their lives and both of them had then moved on and were happy now - albeit following different paths.

Well, even here it's 'tolerated' if you're important and rich enough (look at Philip Green). But generally, for the rank and file, it would mean gross misconduct and probably dismissal.

Dramas don't exist just so we can live out our revenge fantasies. In real life people who have done things wrong sometimes learn from the experience, move on and live happy lives.
