I just finished it, I'm so glad I didn't give up at that point although I almost did. Its a truly unique drama, I ended up marathoning it in 3 days and was at the edge of my seat all the time.
I think episode 5 was the kind of bottom and after it gets better. But the first 4 episodes are still the best.

Came here exactly at this point from disappointment and confusion to see if there are other comments on this 🙏
Exactly my thoughts, what a weird twist...

Wow I was NOT ready for that ending! I watched the movies kind of paying semi attention but at the end I tuned in and starting to really care about the male lead and then wow! An enormous melancolia immidiately set in with the credits in the end, I wish I read the spoilers before watching. Gonna look for a goody happy ending love story to comfort me now.

Yes! And the older shows which I'm going to focus on for now ...

I came here to see if there are any comments about the product placements. I'm only on episode 2 and it seems like the whole "drama" was designed to get the lead female lead into as much outfits and jewerly as possible with the scenes deliberately changing every few minutes into new costumes and some very very blunt ads like the one you mentioned. How are people even able to watch this?

Not the only one! 🤭

Giving it another try after dropping it years ago. On episode 13 and my major conclusion so far is that they do not study at all at this university.. :D

Thank you for this tip. You're right and it helped me feel less confusion about the drama and therefore like it more :)

It depends on your preference and which aspects of the drama will appeal to you.

I personally binge watched it and at some point started to fast forward scenes with characters I wasn't interested in their stories so it wasn't so much to watch :)

He liked her for the start :)

For me 2006-2013-ish.. :)

I'm on episode 17 and find the romance really lacking, it has tons of potential but in reality its a bunch of unfinished teaser scenes and nothing ever happens for the main lead at least. I have a bad feeling it will somehow disappoint me even more in the last 4 episodes :-0

Because they were madly in love nearly till the end and then everything between them went abruptly downhill and their whole relationship from the get go was suddenly portrayed in a negative light and so even if they met again it hasn't really changed. The writers just ruined their relationship without rebuilding it. I'm so disappointed...

Me too! Just rewatched it twice in a row while needing some fuzzy feeling evenings :) For me it gets better every time I watch it...

And outfits! What is that? https://kisskh.at/photos/601p0

I'm on episode 8 and I cannot stand this annoying gang of immoral thiefs of a family. I feel like the drama tries to portray them in a WAY better light than they deserve and its hard to watch. They are NOT cute.

Exactly! I came here because it became so hard to watch exactly at that point...

Just finished marathoning it!
I have so much mixed feelings about this drama....
A few random thoughts:
1) It a very high quality and a poor quality drama at the same time! In all aspects.
2) I tried to fast forward a lot of scenes but couldn't! Always something caught my curiosity and I went back to watch the whole thing.
3) It was kind of makjang for the first about two thirds of the drama.
4) I didn't like a single character. Some of them were beautifully unlikable or complex which is great but some were flatly annoying because they were not supposed to be. Which makes it even more incredible I couldn't stop watching it inventively haha...
5) Especially Jung Ryeo Won's character! She is the main reason I watched it cuz I do really love her usually but here her character was poorly written IMO, I couldn't understand her at all in any part of the drama and her style, can't tell if its the actress' or the production's fault, really didn't fit the historical ethics and atmosphere of all the other characters. It was cringy for me.
6) Yet most of the actors were really good and fit their roles well.
7) Really mixed feelings about the romance. It is a great love story but a cynical one, intentionally. Jung Kyung Ho did a great job selling his part in it but again, I just couldn't relate to Jung Ryeo Won's character so I couldn't feel the chemistry so much. Plus the main leads didn't have a lot of screen time at all for most of the drama.
8) I actually really loved how they chose to show the end of the story in the beginning of the drama and then go back to telling the journey. I was dead curious how it is going to get to there and how the characters develop to get to what we saw in the beginning. Very beautifully made.

I like this drama but its hard to watch because of the shaking screen all the time. They try to be original with the angles and shaking and rapidly changing frames and etc but it makes my head spin and I lose concentration..
