The drama was extended by 2 episodes, ending with episode 52. I guess they really want the ratings to reach 40%…
At this point I have no expectations. Min Jung is a pretty popular character, but I don't know how the domestic fans feel about her, as in, if they wanna see her get punished or not. The audiences are unpredictable, so I just want Bo Ri and Jae Hwa to have some proper couple scenes. Lee Yoo Ri is doing a fantastic job, but tbh, Min Jung has the same MO of doing things and it's getting old.
I rated it a little higher than you (an 8. Probably because of Nakajima Tomoko's performance on the last episode? Flawless), but either way, I agree 100% with you. The build up of the mystery was quite good and suspenseful.
Thinking about this drama makes me want to watch more 90s jdramas :)
I loved Another Parting; sometimes I still think about that little drama and how such a short and simple story moved me. Seo In Guk and Wang Ji Won were also amazing.
haven't watched it yet but going to xD by the comments it's probably very good :D is it?
Don't expect anything intense or exactly new, but it's not doing anything wrong, at least. Pleasant mood, enjoyable characters, some emotional bits. It's a little too early to tell perhaps, but I'm also fond of it, so I say give it a chance :)
If I don't think of Matsuda Shota's character/portrayal and look at Lee Sang Yoon's take on this with fresh eyes, I think it's worth giving a shot. I like him and think he deserves the opportunity to see how it goes.
Miki Honoka's acting is really improving, imo. I thought she was already so good as Kotoko, except for some overacting occasionally. I can't wait to see how she does on more emotional scenes during season 2.

Might as well give her a happy ending while we're at it.

EDIT 09/19: It is now confirmed! https://twitter.com/AsianWiki/status/512800828600492034/photo/1
Maybe they can add in some new character to spice up Eun Ho's plot.
