I was so happy because of Kang Dong Joo's return but he's being annoying af. Even Cha Eun Jae's father seems more reasonable and likeable 🙃

Other than that, I really love everything about this season. It was 10/10 until Dong Joo showed up. I still have two more episodes so hopefully they'll resolve the whole situation with him.

I really love how they took the time to wrap up everyone's stories. I see a lot of people saying the last 4 episodes were fillers, but I don't agree with that. They were necessary to show how they both recovered and stood back on their feet.

Anyway, this is the type of k-drama that made me love k-dramas in the first place. The perfect blend of comedy, romance and drama.

9.5/10 because I enjoyed it so much!

Depending on where you stop with the story, even real history can be interpreted differently. As far as the main character doesn't die in the end, I'm satisfied. I don't need 'happily ever after'.

YES! That's the one I thought about when I wrote my original comment. It was so out of place! Thankfully, there were no scenes like that in later episodes, or at least they didn't stick out to me like that one.

I'm only on episode 6 but so far I really love it. I'd seen some clips previously so I knew what to expect (more or less), and I'm enjoying both the comedy and the more serious moments. Also, Park Hyung Sik is always such a joy to watch!

That could be the reason, I'm pretty neutral about her (watched her in only two dramas aside from this one) but I like how they portrayed the relationship here. I find it easy to believe that they like and love each other.

Yeah, whe she stopped acting like a dictator their relationship became likable, although I still didn't like how he continued acting like a doormat, lol. Still, all things considered, their character & relationship development is nice.

Ok, thank you!

How is the ending? Is it tragic?

This may be a dumb question but why is the name here on MDL changed to Chinese version? Is the previous English version not official?

Hmm, I didn't enjoy their dynamics AT ALL in the first 10 episodes but it becomes better after that. I really loved episodes 13 & 14 so I'm glad I pushed through the beginning.

I'm only at the beginning but FL is so damn annoying 💀

Np. I wanted to love it, but I guess the trailer (which was very good) and synopsis raised my expectations too high so I ended up being disappointed by what I got 😂

I don't remember the song from ep. 1, but the one I originally wrote my comment for was in episode 4 I think. It really killed the mood for me 😩. I preferred fighting sequences where they didn't use any songs, like the fight between Gaku and Haru in the last episode. That was phenomenal!

I wish they made Fuma clan's motivation clearer from the beginning. The whole time the story felt aimless to me. Gaku's reason for betraying his family and joining Fuma was also weak in my opinion, considering how they killed people indiscriminately.

I guess all of it could be fixed if they make another season, but as a standalone there were many things that left me wanting more.

I enjoyed the family dynamics, action scenes and acting, but the plot could've been better.

It's lame in the context of the action scene. In other words, totally unfitting. There is a time and place for every song and that one wasn't it.

So I ended up finishing it even though I thought about dropping it around episode 5. It was okay, disappointing but not unwatchable. I liked the fighting scenes and the whole ninja/shinobi family concept, but everything else was mid. The soundtrack was horrible, unfitting and distracting, and the whole Fuma storyline was just underwhelming. I couldn't understand their motivation until the last episode, and even then a lot of it was left obscure. Also, the whole Gaku storyline could've been more polished. His motivation was also ???

The soundtrack in this is seriously pissing me off, lol. There's an amazing fight scene and then some lame-ass song in the background that ruins the whole mood 😒

You could describe their love as platonic in this (drama) version and since there is no sexual or romantic interactions (you can consider their longing gazes romantic, but they can be interpreted in other ways too) people just consider it bromance. Platonic love is stronger than friendship, but it's not sexual/romantic. When I watch BLs I expect some kind of romantic relationship that involves kisses/skinship etc. that you find in straight romance dramas as well, but all of that is missing here.

I personally don't care whether someone sees it as BL or bromance, but I don't think it's strange that people see platonic instead of romantic love in this specific case.

No problem, I'm glad I could help. I was also very confused after completing My Dearest and dissatisfied with Ryang Eum's fate, but then I accidentally came upon some clip where he was out of that prison and it motivated me to dig through comments and find the explanation, haha. They should've released only that extended episode, it makes things so much clearer.
