I also enjoyed that special because of the lead actress, she has a fun drama with a cute romance (but the ML is not Issey, still, maybe you will enjoy it as well): Kore wa Keihi de Ochimasen! https://kisskh.at/36275-kore-wa-keihi-de-ochimasen
If you enjoyed this episode, you might like the drama Salon de Nabi https://kisskh.at/61393-fly-butterfly , it also has Kim Hyang Gi as one of the main leads. It is a very heartwarming show and she also has a cute romance there (even though romance is not the main focus).
Kamishiraishi Moka and Ikuta Toma are the main couple in this ? Because this is too big of an age gap I'd be comfortable…
yes, it looks like they are on their way to become a couple (just watched the 6th episode). but the drama is not very romantic overall and there hasn't been much "romance" till now. even at this point it's hard to say if they will definitely become a couple or not. for now what is sure is that fl likes him romantically (but not acting crazy in love and stuff), and he likes her as a person.
I wish they had showed us why Han Gyeol likes Se Jin (at least for now it looks like that). Till now there has been nothing likeable about her, so it looks like it's just because she is pretty (which is okay but kinda sad). It would be a fun twist for her to fall for him and to try to win him over, but I doubt it will be like that. I'd like more to see her falling for him and not just him courting her all the series. Well, we'll see. At least main couple is super cute!
I've just rewatched it after a few years. I didn't really remember it well besides the fact that I had enjoyed it a lot. It was a great watch the second time around as well! I think it is one of my favourite romance dramas now. It is pretty simple (no murders, secret births etc) but the main leads' acting is so good and natural!! And the ending is perfect.
to be honest: — hate main FL: — love her friends; — love everyone else's romance: — watch it as a last resort (love other than main couople's romance though)
I keep thinking about how the friends threw him on watarai and then the three of them moved away. Do they know…
In the novel they agreed to invite hioki on watarai's suggestion because all of them had noticed how watarai had been staring at hioki all the time lol. but at first they thought he just wanted to befriend him (and yup actually watarai also thought that he just wanted to be friends with hioki) but yup on the trip they all kind of got it.
Wow....i want to like this but i can't for the life of me justify the ml liking Hioki...he's so....bland .....i…
i am not sure if they'll show it in the drama (but somehow i have a feeling they will), there is actually a reason why watarai became interested in hioki, it is explained in the novel. at first it was just an interest, which transformed into something else during the school trip.
My long awaited love story
