WTPR had the potential to be a 10/10 drama, but certain repetitive and ridiculous scenes kept it from being as thrilling and impactful as it could have been. The story started off incredibly strong, filled with promise, but it felt like the writers ran out of ideas toward the final episodes.
That said, I do appreciate that the finale didn’t feel as rushed as most kdrama endings often do. However, I have to admit—the way they reunited after six months, the war zone scene, left me feeling so disappointed. Watching her recklessly enter a war zone with nothing but a scarf on her head as a disguise, without any real concern for her safety, was hard to take seriously.
As someone who had to leave my home because of war, the scene felt overwhelmingly absurd and careless. Things simply don’t go like that in war zones. I know I said dramas don’t always need to be very realistic, but this particular moment crossed the line for me. I just kept thinking, "They can’t be serious, right?"
I also really liked the idea of the sunset symbolism, but I feel like it wasn’t portrayed as effectively as it could have been. The location they chose just didn’t help convey the emotional weight and beauty it was supposed to carry.
That said, I’m not here just to mention the negatives. I really love this drama, and it’s one of the few that has earned a special place in my heart. It kept me interested from start to finish. I just wanted to share my honest opinion instead of blindly calling it a perfect drama. It definitely had its major flaws, but the chemistry between the leads is something not to be missed. Their chemistry was truly on another level.
Despite its flaws, the drama ended on a sweet note. Once they returned to Korea, their scenes were absolutely adorable. While we didn’t get to see their wedding, I’m really grateful for the heartwarming scene with their friends. The way everyone teased him about being so romantic with his wife was so endearing. I loved seeing them share laughter and enjoy the simple, ordinary life they had dreamed of. BYY teasing HHJ about adding a new family member and all those little moments were exactly what I had hoped for—and I got them in such a beautiful way.
One more thing I loved about the ending was HHJ’s career choice. I had expected her to decide to pursue her dream of becoming a newscaster, but seeing her choose to continue as a sign language interpreter made me happy. It felt like a genuine reflection of her character and her passion for the work she had grown to love.
I'm not ready to say goodbye to this drama, or to all of you 😭 This isn't my first time watching a drama while it airs, but it is my first time being so involved in this MDL community and sharing in the experience with such amazing fans. I really hope we get a satisfying, happy ending after this emotional rollercoaster. I also look forward to crossing paths with some of you in 2025 dramas, so we can obsess over new stories and couples together. Thank you all for making my journey with WTPR even more special and exciting. Love you all! ❤️❤️❤️
A talented actor and a gifted singer? Damn, YYS truly embodies the qualities of a dream man. His voice is absolutely beautiful. Has the lyrics of his OST been translated yet? ❤️🔥
I also hope the hand-holding scene isn’t just in her imagination. I don’t need any more of those imagined…
I know it's most likely going to be a happy ending, but I really hope it's not the typical last-minute reunion. For once, I want a kdrama to take its time with the ending, allowing the characters to have a more natural, gradual closure. It would be so nice to see more sweet, lovely moments unfold before we have to say goodbye to the drama. I just want it to feel earned and not rushed!
EP 12 PREVIEVhttps://x.com/shengjianbaozis/status/1875311459527512400?t=xDqhK4y80NaycRYma4foIw&s=19
My heart. Damn. I really hope all the scenes in this preview happen within the first 10 minutes of the episode. I can't handle anything more, pleaseeeee!
watched up to episode 3 and i really dont understand the appeal, will it get better? because rn its very boring…
If you’ve already watched three episodes and still feel like it’s boring, then it might just not be your cup of tea. Honestly, I think if a drama doesn't hook you from the very first episode, it's unlikely to change much later on. We were hooked from the start in episode 1, so for me, I tend to judge a drama based on its first episode. If it doesn’t click then, it’s probably not going to excite you as the story progresses.
So, everyone’s talking about how bothered they were because fBSE didn’t just drive him over, but no one’s talking about how he ended up right in front of their car. When fBSE finally found HHJ and rBSE was watching from afar, I thought, “I really hope they don’t do that cliché scene where he suddenly appears in front of their car, especially since he’s on FOOT and they’re in a car, and fBSE will probably drive fast to get HHJ to the hospital quickly. Please don’t do it.” And voila! They actually did it, lol 😂
you know, I kind of wonder what fake Sa Eon's original revenge plan was. He had obviously been working towards…
I think revealing that Sim Gyu Jin killed Baek Jang Ho was a major part of his plan. He mentioned that he’s been saving the recorded video for the day when the ugly truth about the Baek family is exposed.
She knows, but she doesn't know fBSE is chairman's son. Tho I don't bekieve it would change anything in her eyes.
Oh right, that makes sense. Chairman Hong was really furious when going to the memorial service because he found out about rBSE, which suggests that he and the girls have already shared everything with each other. Ugh since it’s a 12-episode drama, there’s not enough time to show everything so we have to pay close attention to the details and piece things together from the scenes. Well done for catching all of that. Of course we’ve been investigating all of this in case fBSE really did disappear because the truth about the car accident is what rBSE whispered to him.
She knows, but she doesn't know fBSE is chairman's son. Tho I don't bekieve it would change anything in her eyes.
From the scene in episode 10, it seems she realizes it wasn’t an accident but doesn’t know exactly who’s behind it.
This doesn’t change anything for her. She deeply loves fBSE and fully understands how much he has suffered for years because of the Baek family. She would have comforted him, held him, and reassured him that it’s absolutely not his fault.
The more I think about it the more I wish we got angst^2 in ep 11. Like HJ being kidnapped for 2 years and BSE…
Ugh I feel the same about the way he walked up to her. Considering the situation, he should’ve rushed to her, out of breath and panicked and all that, but instead, that moment felt a bit cold to me idk
