I've learned that I need to avoid MDL comments and reviews until after I've judged it for myself because there have been so many gems that were absolutely brutalized by MDL that I would have missed out on had I listened (same goes for some shows that are rated WAY too highly for what they're actually worth).

totally agree! I especially wanted to like the ML. I really felt like I was watching another drama from how highly it was raved on by other watchers.

im loving this season. I'm enjoying it way more than season 1, and I think the chemistry with the FL and ML is more natural and believable (their BTS is adorable too!). I just worry we're running out of time to flesh out the remainder of the season. We're already on ep 6! come on now. get those memories! let him figure it out so we can move on from that plot point! I'm just..nervous they'll have it all rushed at the last 2 episodes with another tragic ending. They deserve happiness.

He is dead, but the majority of the story is told as a flashback so you're able to see him alive and before he passes away. It ultimately aligns to present time though, so the last couple of episodes he's not in it (excluding as a memory or mentioned by the FL). It's a heavy show. I really loved it though (he's an incredible actor).

but, also, yes! he needs to be ML in more dramas. I think he'll get more opportunities after Revenge of Others. His character in particular, was well liked and viral on tiktok/youtube shorts.

He was the male lead in Seasons of Blossom (which was really great, but sad).

The cinematographic nuance of this show cannot be understated. Throughout these flashbacks, everyone looks the same. 8 years have passed, and the hairstyles, clothing, and setting haven't changed; However, the shifts within each character are massive. The subtleties of their growth and the relative stagnation around them lend to the seismic shift and absolute devastation Sou is going through with the loss of something essential to his being. I'm really in awe of this drama. My only issue is the lack of attention toward Sou's character story, as others have mentioned. I'm glad he's getting more attention now.

1st time I've ever watched a modern cdrama from start to finish. Excellent drama, sad it's over.

In Ep 35, his lip quiver during their kiss scene before she says, "I don't want to waste our efforts," was * e v e r y t h i n g*.

Agreed. Acting was subpar (although I thought Yoo Seok (Shinwoo) did a good job), the plot was cliche and slow to move, and the chemistry was too stiff (again, I thought the actor who played Shinwoo was the only exception).

Saw a BTS of LX in the back of an ambulance on a gurney and shes with him- can a book reader plz spoiler what happened to him?

I'm on episode 11 now, and Hu Yi Ming (胡一鸣) as Jiang Xingchi (the volleyball player) is GORGEOUS too. I can't find him anywhere on MDL.

Right?! He reminds me of a fairy (in the best way). Especially his profile.

Just started watching this (on ep 2), and holy hotness, his voice is smoking hot.

i agree! i definitely think its coming. It carries so much meaning for them both. When he's emotionally ready for it, on his own, I think he'll speak for her.

the sisterhood in this makes me smile and tear up constantly. gosh, i love the relationships in this drama.

yes! it was so cute. I was swooning when he grabbed her to sit back down and when he pulled her in. They're beautiful together. Can't wait to see them finally progress on that level next episode.

Oh man, I was on the EDGE OF MY SEAT holding my breath, waiting to hear his voice at the end of ep 7. I think it's beautiful that she stopped him, and it carries so much meaning, but I selfishly *really* hope she still gets to hear it at some point.

Ah, youre right, i do recall that he was exaggerating his symptoms so people wouldnt see him as a threat.

Im confused- did he just "get over" his stomach disease? The drama began with him needing specific things to eat to prevent a relapse in his symptoms but he eats whatever is cooked for him now, and even ate spicy foods at restaurants when they travelled. Just wondering if it was just a plot device to get her to experiment with cooking, or if its still actually relevant to the story.
