Currently on episode 16. And imo the ratings are making sense. On a first glance the drama is well made and an easy and uplifting show. But after the first episodes it is losing its depth. To quote the synopsis “embodying the resilience needed to grow in adversity”. Does the drama show us her struggles and her resilience? Not after the beginning, when she was still adjusting to her new life. After she decided to life that life to the fullest and make a run for it, we haven’t really seen any of her struggles. Instead she seems to be supergirl with a cheat code, since she knows future developments. That her achievements still only come with endurance is something, we viewers have to assume on our own. We aren’t witness of her struggles, her doubts. Things, that are basics for building resilience. No. The story rushes from achievement to achievement, seemingly easy peasy. That is not good storytelling. Hence the dissatisfaction of viewers with the drama and the feeling of disconnection. A connection between the characters and the viewers is built, when we can feel with them. Feel their humanity, their weaknesses. Only then we will get emotionally invested and will be cheering for their success.
Looks like Ha Ran liked “her” Chan, but fell really in love with roommate Chan via their chats.
The latter should’ve come clean with her during the talk, when he was giving her the cloud pen. That was some uncomfortable watch. It showed, that sincerity makes all the difference. His lying undermines his health and their growing relationship from the start. His ongoing stalling about the truth is a serious issue at this point.
How often can I rewatch this fight scene? A LOT 😅 It’s a masterpiece. Besides that, you can see, how these killings take something from her. Great acting.
It’s a drama with a poetic and healing vibe.Overcoming past trauma and tragedy, including depression.It’s…
Poetic isn’t only used directly relating to poetry. The Cambridge dictionary will tell you, that a second meaning is “very beautiful or expressing emotion”. That is the meaning I intended in my comment.
“Don’t insult a true poetic drama like that” - you know, that taste differs, do you not? You might not find s/t “poetic”. But another person might. Art is by nature subjectively judged. “Not 2 people are watching the same drama”. That quote was originally about books. But it works for dramas too.
The summary looks very sad and depressing. Is it like a sad melodrama?
It’s a drama with a poetic and healing vibe. Overcoming past trauma and tragedy, including depression. It’s beautiful and comforting with the right amount of comic relief in between. It’s not “heavy melo stuff”. More wholesome and uplifting.
The choreography and the execution of the battle scenes were amazing. 👏👏👏 And that speared soldier was a harsh moment. But her summarization with that pig analogy took me out
I am happy for everyone, who enjoys this drama. More power to you. 🫶🏼
Taste differs, and for me this drama lost its spark, which it had at the beginning. Sadly I find it boring now, too. These 2 were adorable in their love for photography and - albeit oblivious during their first years - for each other. And I liked, how the show used their camera focus and the resulting pictures as part of the storytelling. But after watching episode 10 - where is the spark gone to? These 2 are now oozing the charme of tax officials. While being in their early 20s?! Where is the youthful energy? At their age they should still be brimming with it. And no. I don’t mean here and I don’t need them “fondling each other”, how another MDLer stated. They could be one of these couples with a lower sex drive. They exist and deserve representation too. But I liked the family moment at the end. Especially the talk with the granddad. So there is that.
I like to run with the crowd, when there is a new released drama, which has one in its clutches.But please alternating…
It usually happens on itself, bc not every new release draws me in. Even if I waited for it finally airing. If it doesn’t hold my interest - always a bummer after high expectations - I drop it. And have time to go through my backlog 😅
They really could have just kept to the book and sent her down the mountain to get some salt. Other than making…
Since she’s a military leader in the making, perhaps they added that part for a mix of comic relief and a learning curve for her, that discipline in a war is an absolute necessity.

So there is that.
Currently on ep 4 and granny is a mood.
And the acting of the ml is fabulous.
To do such a character justice requires skills 👏
But it made me realize, how much I like the fl actress in a drama.
If it doesn’t hold my interest - always a bummer after high expectations - I drop it.
And have time to go through my backlog 😅
