This doesn't really look like something I'd be normally watching, but my love for Nam Ji Hyun is unstoppable and other dramas of her had surprised me, too.
What I loved the most was that the episodes' length varies from half an hour to 50 minutes, because they really only give you what's necessary. There is nothing filler-like, nothing pointless. It's cute, simple, and it knows what it wants to show us. I was reminded of if because there are quite a lot of ongoing dramas right now that do the opposite.
I just wonder if they're going to drag this on for three more episodes. Initially, I really liked this drama and I still do, but I'm less excited and feel a little forced to catch up with it. I'm especially disappointed in the latest episode because from the preview for ep 13 I really thought she was going to die and finally move the plot forward, but it turns out to be only a dream. I hope it'll be some kind of foreshadowing at least because otherwise there wouldn't be any point to the scene. Ep 12 and 13 were honestly very unnecessary, the only good thing coming out of it would be if the contract was revoked now, but I guess since Deity said some fate cannot be changed and since they both remember now, the contract is back on track with them. Thus, the whole forgetting plot was really pointless. I'm convinced this would've been much better if it had like 10 or 12 episodes, because though I wouldn't necessarily call it slow-paced, they could really shorten it to the essential parts. It would've been a drama that leaves you wanting more. At this point, I doubt we'll get a happy ending or even an unhappy ending. It's going to be Goblin-ending or Hotel del Luna-ending-like.
Right, their plot just feels like I'm watching a teenage show, it's so childish. 9 years is more than enough…
You're totally right. There really is no connection between the plots, I didn't even realize that. I'm kinda guessing that Cha Joo Ik will turn out to have fallen for Na Ji Na even before Lee Hyun Gyu got to know her, that's why he kissed her, and she's the woman he could never have, that's why he can't forget her.
Honestly, the show is slow and the amnesia plot was very unnecessary, but the prewiev for ep 13 had me really excited again. at least, the contract is gone now.
I really don't know why Na Ji Na and Lee Hyun Gyu are so hung up on each other. Their relationship was like what? Two months when they were 18? Please, how did they not move on at all? Considering how they didn't even kiss, their relationship couldn't have been that spectacular and intense for them to not be able to get over each other in about maximum a year. The same goes for Cha Joo Ik, but I'll give him the fact, that at least he was working in proximity to her and knew what was going on with her.
The first episode was really good. There was a lot happening, and they still managed to introduce the characters well enough. Generally, a bit fan of Jung So Min.
I'm scared that this won't have a happy ending. often when characters are "different" and "alternative" compared to other dramas, the ending is open or unhappy to relate to our reality. (ex. Record of Youth)
