the chemistry betwen LSK and KYD is actually reeeeally good. it just sucks that they don't interact until EP 2. Ep1 just basically sets the world and introduces you to the characters in the industry as well as LSK's job. She's the goddess of the PR agency basically, someone whose really good at her job.

i love the shenanigans and relationships of the side characters. it's very fun to watch and i always stan platonic relationships between male and female characters (not everything has to end in a love triangle, you know?)

Yeah they should not have included Africa in this way. Were you able to sit through the rest of it though? I actually enjoyed the first episode, other than the Africa bit.

oh my god. at the end of ep 14 when Chan Sung started crying and clutching his heart, mine heart SO BAD with him. it was so painful to watch just cause you know how much it hurts and how hard he tried to keep it all together

YJG is an amazing actor. i have so much respect for him now after this drama.

YES. Yeo Jin Goo's character is amazing and definitely one of my most favorite male leads ever. it's my first time watching him and i have so much respect for him now.

He's calm, considerate, straightforward, and patient. He doesn't jump to conclusions and has always been really straightforward and open in terms of communication. I really, really love his character so much! and his acting is SUPERB.

Hmm, i wouldn't say it is out of sympathy, but rather... empathy. To start it off, Chan Sung is a really considerate and kind individual already. Initially, he was really put off by Man Weol because on the surface, she just seems petty, skeptical and greedy. But by seeing those dreams, he began to understand and realize that there's more to Man Weol than what she shows the world.

then, time and time again, she's always saving his poor butt.

I think Ma Go planting the flower in Chan Sung's heart suggests that from the very beginning, Ma Go wanted Man Weol to be saved. and that even if Man Weol steps foot on the bridge, she wouldn't forget her memories completely because her last flowers lie in Chan Sung's heart.

I love that CM was the one who saved Chan Sung and led him out of the tunnel. I think if it weren't for CM, CS would've really died in there. it just shows how much CM loves Man Weol.

I love both of their love stories but I admire Chan Sung's more. Just cause Man Weol does a lot of things that CS doesn't agree with, but he STANDS BY HER and is ALWAYS there to clean up her mess and save her. Even if he has to kill himself, his absolutely trust and faith in Man Weol is amazing.

it's actually mentioned that when the other Ma Go was escorting Chung Myung to the afterlife, he turned around and went back. he wanted to stay behind with Man Weol apparently due to a promise he made her. In the latest episode, the deities commented on how it's surprising how he managed to survive and stay after so long (as a firefly).

I actually think the pairing of Yeon Woo and the Princess is kind of funny in the afterlife. Mi Ra (princess in afterlife) mentioned how she conceded Chang Seong to Man Weol because she feels like she owes her, 'maybe from a past life'.

I'm also a bit confused with Man Weol's punishment as well. I remember the more benevolent Ma Go saying that this prison is because Man Weol refused to forgive herself.

i also really don't like love triangles in kdramas because they're definitely way too over done.

i havent watched the most recent episode yet but i dont think the ex will pose an obstacle or threat to their relationship. i feel like she is there more to address his own mental health issues that stemmed from her. in fact, i feel like the ex-first love will help mika develop her singing skills.

i dont think bae soo is a threat either because LDH has absolutely no feelings forever so i dont even think this is a real triangle. he is very much in love with mika. but she IS doing things that is hurting mika's heart. because mika is not the type of person who will actively pursue LDH knowing that she doesn't have much time left.

they're not engaged. he has tried to propose to her many times, but she always rejected him. his dad wants him to marry her for business purposes.

you could say she is a 'potential' fiancee but she is not engaged to him at the moment

I CANT STOP CRYING. THIS EP IS SO SAD I CANT TAKE IT

i think it's possible!!! maybe thats why he has the power to stop her clock?

yes! it's totally worth continuing! they develop and round out the clock plot

not going to lie, i kind of agree that the romance is moving quite fast.

i feel like this is because they have to get the romance between the two leads quickly sorted out so that they can further progress the time plot, the LDH family drama, and his past. the romance between the two probably had to be sorted before they could further advance the plots and other arcs.

im sure that if the drama was approved for more than 16 episodes, the romance between the two leads would drag out longer.. however they have only 16 episodes to address all the plot questions.

oh gosh i totally agree, LSK is soooo pretty. i just love watching her and her facial expressions. she is so good at looking sad, it makes me sad when she's sad

i think that the possibility of his heart 'wavering' is what causes her time to decrease. she mentioned in the beginning that she has no power to stop people's time, something like telling them not to cross the street is not enough to stop their death. but just because SHE can't stop their time, doesn't mean OTHERS can't.

but i think that the possibility of having a relationship with LDH is what will save mi ka. however when the ex appeared, that probably implies that in that moment, mi ka and LDH's relationship is treading on thin water, hence her clock decreasing again (ex. mi ka having second thoughts about LDH, LDH's heart being reminded of his first love again etc.). i think that if mi ka and LDH are able to overcome this together, her clock will start increasing again.

i honestly don't think the ex will be too big of a deal since she's not one of the second leads... she's prob there to sort out LDH's past and anxiety as well as to further reaffirm mi ka's affection for LDH. i don't see the drama involving the ex spanning for too long.

Yes, that's exactly it. I think you are completely on point about LDH's stance in this. He thinks his fiancee doesn't care and that it is all just business to him and to her. He doesn't understand that these requests she asks of him is her way of trying to get him to care for her.

I agree. I thought she was really cool in the beginning. But then her using $$ to try and buy Mi Ka off from LDH comes off as a woman desperate to still keep reins on a man that isn't really hers. I hope this is addressed in her character arc (if she even has one). I remember watching LSK's other drama: Weightlifting fairy and the second female lead was the usual annoying, selfish ex-girlfriend. However at the end of the drama, she was able to overcome her issues and move on from the male MC. in fact, she even developed a newfound respect for the female MC and began to love herself.

I have my fingers crossed and hope they will pull off Bae Soo's character arc right. Otherwise, it would be a real waste of Im Se Mi's talent.

I responded to OP in another comment, so i might be repeating a lot of things I already said. Anyways, i feel like they aren't making Bae Soo out to be a villain or a jealous girlfriend. I feel like the drama makes it very obvious that Bae Soo definitely has strong feelings for LDH. But the drama also makes it very obvious that it isn't the case for LDH and those feelings are very, very one sided.

I actually feel very sorry for BSB because she seems to be an unfortunate party that is bound to have her heart broken. She wants to see genuine effort and care from LDH for her. I think what she wanted from him when she asked for the 1000 origami cranes is to see that he cares for her and will put in the effort for her. She probably would have been happy if he took origami lessons and folded her ONE crane. But he doesn't, in fact, he sends her a 1000 coins (something money can buy) instead. To him, the coins are a convenient alternative. He doesn't have time to build her cranes, he won't make time for her. Whereas if it were Mi ka, he most likely would.

I think BSB is bothered by Mi Ka because LDH obviously genuinely cares for Mi Ka in a way that BSB has never seen him care for anyone (or herself) before. I think if LDH was having a fling with a female that he could easily toss away, BSB wouldn't care. But it's the fact that LDH actually cares for Mi Ka and got upset at BSB for messing with Mi Ka in episode 03.

I actually sympathize with Bae Soo Bong. She stated in episode 04 that she knows Mi Ka doesn't like Lee Do Ha (Mi Ka THINKS she doesn't like him) but it's the fact that Mi Ka very obviously has an effect on LDH that no other woman has. I feel like the drama isn't making Bae Soo out to be a villain or a selfish ex-girlfriend, but more like an unfortunate character who is bound to have her heart broken.

It seems very obvious to me that Bae Soo Bong loves Lee Do Ha, or at least has very strong feelings for him. But the drama also makes it very obvious that Lee Do Ha sees her as nothing more than a business partner. He has made it very obvious to her that he is only marrying her because his father wants him to and she knows that. In episode 04 when Lee Do Ha saw her walking around the building in her barefeet, he didn't question it. He wasn't worried for her. He asked her why she did it, she stated her vague reasons and he walked away. At first she was okay with it, they could grow to love each other, but then Mi Ka walked into the picture, unintentionally showing that LDH IS capable of loving someone.

Mi Ka is someone he has known for not long and he has already shown emotions and feelings that Bae Soo know she will never get from him. THAT is what makes Bae Soo uncomfortable. I think if it were a girl and Lee Do Ha was having a fling with and someone he could easily toss away, Bae Soo wouldn't care. But it's the fact that Lee Do Ha genuinely cares for Mi Ka and was upset that Bae Soo was messing with her, that is what hurts Bae Soo.

I really hope that they don't turn her into a jealous ex-girlfriend who is out to sabotage the main couple. Rather I hope she is able to redeem herself by understanding she will never get the love she wants from LDH and walk away.

SL stated in the first episode, "I would have marry him even if he had no money". SL seems to be someone enraptured with romantic gestures. She wants someone who loves her as much as she loves him. She wants to be swept off her feet. despite her cunning nature, i feel like she truly has genuine feelings for male MC and employs these 'games' as a means to get him to prove his affection for her. i think she will marry him regardless. even his proposal is very bland and lacks feeling, done only out of duty not out of love.

she knows he doesn't like her, but she is there for him every step of the way when he needs her. i feel like with female MC in the picture, SL is jealous because male MC is showing levels of care and emotion that he normally doesn't show to others or to SL. i find that SL and male MC have a nice friendship going on, but the feelings of love is definitely one sided. i actually sympathize with SL because almost every girl has been in her shoes at one point of a relationship.

i absolutely love how expressive LSK's eyes are. those moments where she and LSY are just staring at each other, even though no words are being verbally exchanged, you can tell a million things are happening between them just from the way they look at each other.

exactly! i can't help but think there almost has to be a catch because otherwise, why would the girl choose the main lead over the second lead?
