I just finished episodes 3 and 4, and I'm so mad at the ex-boyfriend. I don't even know what he was thinking. I wasn't expecting some huge plot twist I just wanted an explanation that would justify why he disappeared for almost a year.But somehow his explanation only made me even angrier. So he knew she was going to propose, disappeared because he thought he wasn't good enough for her, and then came back like, "Okay, now let's get married"? What??
And what really gets me is that when he came back, he didn't even apologize. He didn't explain himself. He didn't acknowledge how much he hurt her. He just hugged her out of nowhere and acted like they could go back to being all lovey-dovey, as if nothing had happened.
That's not how it works. You don't disappear for nine months, come back, and expect everything to magically be okay.
Also, the female lead is way more mature than I expected, and I'm so glad she didn't immediately take him back. That would've been so disappointing. I really hope the writers don't have her get back together with him later because, honestly, he has shown zero emotional maturity. He keeps making huge decisions based solely on what he thinks is best without considering how they affect the people around him. He doesn't get to decide what's "best" for someone else by taking away their choice.

Every time I watch one of the FL dramas, I can't help but think she looks so much like a Chinese actress.

Yes, there is a novel version called Chairman Kang: The New Employee. The story is a little different, though. In both the novel and the manhwa, Joon Hyun isn't a football player he's actually an employee at the company, and he never had an accident either.
I'm mentioning this because if you decide to read the novel or the manhwa, you might get confused at first and think you've found the wrong story since the adaptation changed some major details. But don't worry, it's still the same story those changes were likely added to the adaptation to give it more depth and drama.

I feel like it would've been good if he actually died in the end.

Just finished watching this movie and im soo confused i still don't understand are they sisters or just friends??!

EXACTLY. A drama series would be soo good

The novel and webtoon have so many layers and events that it would honestly be really hard to bring all of that to life in a movie. So it makes sense that they changed a lot of things and honestly I’m not even mad about it. I kind of see it as a movie inspired by the original story rather than a direct remake or adaptation. And honestly I think it’s good. And i would love to see more of it like turn it into a series like they did with sweet home and other manhwa/webtoon adaptations

Totally agree — like you said, the whole ex-athletes-turned-cops concept had so much potential and could’ve been used way better. Honestly, they did a great job with it at times, but the constant stretching and all the unnecessary drama really dragged it down.

Totally agree. The ML’s medical issue honestly felt unnecessary and completely misplaced. (And I say this as someone who lives for angst — I usually don’t mind it.) But like you said, if he’s not going to die by the end (which I really hope he doesn’t), then what’s the point of adding it?

It also feels like they’re trying to cram everything into this one drama — ML and FL with a past, two MLs fighting over the FL, an overpowered male lead, a badass female lead, and now a mysterious illness on top of it all. It’s starting to feel more overwhelming than enjoyable.

Totally agree. The early reveal really ruined the tension, though I get that they were probably aiming for a 'villain team vs. cop team' dynamic. Still, the pacing is way too slow. This could’ve been a solid 8 to 10-episode drama instead of dragging it out to 16.

But like i don't think soo cuz you know... she didn't mock death or anything
