I have been following Jun since his idol days - and I loved his transition as an actor. His earlier works may not be as well-known as the ones that have come since Love and Leashes, and specially 2025 drama/movies - but he has always surprised me with his range of acting. The duality is stunning - he can go from psycho villain to pookie character in a jiffy. Really a lot of respect and one of the few idol-turned-actors who really know how to act. Love the attention and love he is getting, and I hope it only grows!
I am also assuming a lot of work is coming now and he's been super busy because he will be enlisting in military this year or next. So super glad for all the recognition and I hope he wins great awards this year - he truly deserves it. Not easy to switch your career mode and get recognition for your talent, not just because he is handsome (like we know few other idol/actors get more attention for looks than their acting prowess).
And I still cannot come to terms with the fact that this man is a self proclaimed shy introvert person, like that makes his acting and onscreen avatar even more commendable ππΌππΌππΌ
Winter Sonata is such a old drama and my memory is super hazy in terms of dialogue and exact scenes. But the theme song - uff, omg - it is one the best melodies and OST ever. It just kicks in the nostalgia like no other - which is why my ears literally perked up as soon as it came on PUTHL. But yeah - not sure of the reference, still it was so cool !
Guess #1: Som-i and Nak-Joon were old lovers. But overtime he broke up with her, due to some reason, maybe unable…
Well you will never get that from me. I love hearing about different opinions, so feel free to share.
Sometimes I do get carried over - when I like/dislike a drama, but I try to keep a neutral tone with anyone who has opposite views than me. Hence, always up for a discussion which is why I shared the theories in the first place.
I hope you do make time to watch the drama in its full glory and not just reels, and that you like it :)
What am I even watching bruh πThis is absolute cinema, Iβve never laughed so much watching K-drama. *What…
IKR! I really wish more people would give it a chance. Maybe this "comance" is not everyone's cup of tea but I feel sometimes you just need a drama that just makes your face and belly hurt while laughing. And it has all the elements done right so far - and the acting, I really hope Lee Jun Young wins an award this year for all the multi-faceted roles he has done.
The way his eyes, dialogues, voice and body language is exaggerated in this drama is just too good π
I really love when he always says "What the...." with ends different words like fat, skinny, koju etc. Im reallly…
Love it when Director Do uses it in so many different situations - but I loved how other characters also picked it up. Best Part - I love how we as an audience are also using it.
What the Influence! β¨πͺπΌπͺπΌπͺπΌβ¨
I'll explain the scene In Ep 4, you might recall, or just watch the episode at around 20 minute mark in case my explanation is messy/confusing.
When Mi Ran is running away from her mother, she comes late night to the gym. But suddenly Director Do comes in thinking he is all alone and starts to work out - only for him to be scared by a Back Ghost? (Which was Mi Ran).
That's when Mi Ran enters his room and sees all the books that he is reading which are mostly related to body/fitness. But in the middle she is surprised to see an unusual book - she takes it out and it is titled "Never a Sad Ending" - the author name is mentioned on the book as Kang Sol. And then we see a flashback of sorts where Mi Ran remembers seeing a ad hoarding about the book and the picture of the author - who we know from Ep 1 is the ex girlfriend.
Probably not recognized in Ep 4..as she is there very briefly but when she opens the book, Director Do has scribbled in it and Kang Sol name is mentioned there too. Also cause in Ep 1 - she was wearing glasses and different kind of style of clothes. Ep 7 ending and Ep 8 preview shows she is changed a lot - like she has changed her style for sure.
It will be interesting to see Director Do in a similar situation as Mi Ran, both getting over their ex. And of course both exes coming back in their lives or attempting too will make our main leads realise that they like each other.
Ep 8 Preview - Is Sam Moon one of the blind dates? The main leads did a chat show with him, and we know ML and Sam Moon were together in DP project. This is pretty cool :)
Regarding the new character that came up in end of Ep 7 - not sure if anyone noticed but I remembered a few facts that were shared before.
The author of the book shown in Ep 4 - is the same person - Kang Sol. Looks like they were never forgotten and Hyeon Jung has been secretly following them on their career path.
Everyone in this world is entitled to like or dislike things as they want, without any judgement. Same goes for dramas. What may work for one, may not work for another. It is very rare to come across someone who has 100% match with your opinions and that is what makes things interesting cause we all can like/dislike different things.
We all need a person like Do Hyeon Jung - who simply won't give up on you. Be it with fitness or embarrassing situations shown in Ep 7 π - can't wait for romance to begin, maybe Ep 8 will be it given the new characters that have appeared π

I am assuming you are enjoying it from Insta Reels - but please do watch the show. As you can guess it is pretty interesting - worth making so many guesses. It ends this weekend, so maybe you can binge it :)
And thanks for reading the theories and yes that's a good blend too Part 1 of Theory 1 + Part 2 of Theory 2
Lets see how it all pans out in the actual drama ...
Ep 7 - Old drama fans, did anyone else notice "Winter Sonata" theme music in the background in the first 10 minutes of episode, where Director Do is trying to convince Ms Lee? (At the Locker Scene)
I am also assuming a lot of work is coming now and he's been super busy because he will be enlisting in military this year or next. So super glad for all the recognition and I hope he wins great awards this year - he truly deserves it.

Maybe this will excite more people to watch the show :P

was there something wrong in my original comment - genuinely asking?
