I finally realized what I believe this drama is trying to do. The whole time I felt uncomfortable with their relationship, though it was cute, I just couldn't let go of the feeling that it was just too unethical and I kept wondering why they thought of portraying it like that, when even all the supporting characters were against it. And I realized that the drama itself is not problematic, the topic that it handles is. With that in mind, I can finally continue watching without dreading what's to come next. I'm also kind of pleasantly surprised with the twist in ep 20, didn't expect that to happen. I guess they'll end up with each other anyway, and I'm now ready to see how they're trying to convince us. I'm glad tho, that they keep mentioning that they're both sick and that's the reason it escalates, all other characters however know it's definitely wrong.
ep6: I love how Thien has his eyes opened to Moei and finally realizes that he actually knows so little about her and that there is just so much to discover.
honestly, besides the whole doctor-patient thing being already everything wrong with this, I don't think their romance has a good basis as of now, that's why I can't be convinced that this is more than transference right now. their romance seems to be too deeply rooted in the consequences their issues.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but I really didn't like this. I found it extremely boring, took me several attempts to start, continue and finish. If it was for the romance alone, I would've liked it more, however I didn't see any amazing chemistry built up, it was just rather okay to me. However, the plot, it was just obnoxious to me. The whole university set-up with the hazing/mobbing going on made me so uncomfortable as it also made no sense at all. It was really disturbing. I felt it tried to teach so much and really, really did not succeed at that at all.
somehow the trailer felt nostalgic to me. I don't really know how to describe it, it feels like something I watched before, but not really. It did remind me of Hotel Del Luna, but that's not what I mean with nostalgia.
I don't like Jin Noh Eul, I don't get why she after whatever many year suddenly realizes she was in the wrong, but at least she broke up with him in person. at least she offered him the opportunity to ask questions and at least she had enough respect for him to end their relationship face to face. Jae Hyuk, however, makes me really mad. This guy just vanishes into another country, ending their 5 years with ghosting and then comes back and talks about how he was lonely. I do understand that sometimes you gotta take chances and sometimes these chances are within another country but he was just so disrespectful. and now he infiltrates her whole life, leaves her no space and suddenly thinks she still even has the need for him in her life. this girl was about to get married. I really really dislike him. I do like Lee Ji Hoon but my dislike for this character makes him even look creepy to me rn.
can't believe that I wrote this for ep 3 and in the next ep they really defended themself for it. "audacity makes it seem like you're not sorry", "but being too sorry makes it actually audacious". ugh no, I'm not against ppl getting back with their exes but the way both of them broke up with the leads is just too much. "you're boring" and "I'm studying abroad" (honestly this one I think is the worst of them. he was just gone from one day to the other)
I am not watching it but The King is getting complaints about them immediately being in love without the viewer…
Ahhh, I see you're right. Haha, I put that on-hold for now because I did not get how they fell for each other either. haha. it wasn't on my radar. thanks.

I'm totally here for it tho.
