Spring Fever is awful, but you were a real find. Last year around this same time I met Lee Jun Hyuk, and the funny thing is that when you appeared you reminded me a lot of him. There's a lot of potential here, I hope you get a chance to shine. I thought he'd be older, but there's plenty of fuel left in the tank for this next decade.

At this point, if my rating after these last two weeks is above 4, that's already a win! What a shame they wasted the younger cast like that.

I might be crazy, but this drama has the dumbest protagonist in history. I'm not going to drop it because I promised myself I'd watch everything I start this year, but it really seems like the story is wasting screen time explaining things that anyone with a minimum of brainpower would understand. In episode 3, the protagonist, who is supposedly a soccer player, doesn't know what financial fair play is, simply to serve as a prop for the explanation to be presented to the audience. I don't mind them explaining it since many people may not even like soccer, but this way it's pure carelessness. Another thing: when they're at his house in episode 4 and "that" happens with her, he simply asks her to explain something that's already implied. I hope it doesn't continue like this; these stories made for the audience to watch while doing something else are becoming unbearable.

I finished it today; it's everything they say and more.

Getting ready to watch history being written. (Aside from Haein's and Hyo Seop's dramas, everyone else seems to be top-tier in terms of production; what a crazy lineup!)

Starting to watch today... I've always heard great things about it, I expect to cry a lot, HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

I'm saying this in terms of interpretation; Koreans tend to take certain gestures much more seriously than people around the world.

"It's always good when the neighbor's lawn is greener, the problem is when it's greener than yours."

The worst part is that the journalist is also nice; I feel it would make more sense for him to stay with his wife, but it's impossible to imagine what's going through his head since he keeps her around by playing this game of ignoring her. (using the spell against the sorceress)

I noticed this when I was younger, in people's eyes, when I said I didn't drink soda. Imagine offering them alcohol and having to remind them of what is supposedly obvious. I think your idea explains everything.

It's cultural, like in those scenes where they serve alcohol to each other and the glass overflows, or the person refuses. It might be my interpretation, but I think people really take it as "I don't want to be in your company" and don't understand that there are people who simply don't enjoy doing that, so they cut them out of their circles. (I think that's an exaggeration, but as someone who doesn't drink, I can understand; it's mutual. You don't distance yourself intentionally, but those environments simply don't interest you.)

I think that will only happen in the first week, but I have to say: how I love it when a good K-drama starts with long episodes, I'm so happy just looking at the length of the episodes 🤪😝

yes

And here I was thinking this show would be just another cliché to entertain me on the weekend, but we're witnessing what could be a classic of the genre. I can't believe how much this first episode surprised me!

When it comes to communication, and developing that in a romance, only those who truly don't pay attention get it wrong; what a waste. (Beautiful drama to watch, btw)

Hi, I watched a few episodes in the afternoon and evening (I think it's unlikely that everyone else has finished it yet). Based on my experience with the 8 episodes I've seen, it's worth a try, but knowing that the story changes completely 3 times – the initial idea is one thing, then shifts to a secondary one with the travels, and then completely changes with the protagonist's condition – keeping that in mind, I think it's watchable, and if you don't hate love triangles, it's easier.

What's worse is that if the K-drama had followed your perspective, it would have been sensational. They wasted an idea that would have fit perfectly in that genre. I hope that one day they'll do a reverse version, with an idol and a translator, but in the style you were hoping for.

I'm predicting that the beginning of No Tail will be better than this one, but that's okay. By the metrics, this is the kind of K-drama that wins you over as you watch it, while No Tail should make it pretty clear if it's not for you; these usually decline in the final episodes.

But only if that's important to you (at least from what I've seen up to episode 3, the balance is perfect, they did a great job).

Yes, Very much.
