I think it's not him that makes her more emotional and soft, but her past, and he is just a channel /reminder of it. She was able to ignore her past, but after he showed up and all the dreams started happening, she can't run away from it. Her remembering and facing her past slowly is way makes her the way she is now. Or at least that's what I believe. I wouldn't even call Jingoo's character a main one, since his core purpose for the drama and plot of it is supporting IU's character and her development. He has nothing going on just for him and his story line, since he does not really have a story line.

I feel exactly the same. I cannot see the romance blooming between Manwol and Chan Sung since I am already so invested in Manwol and Chung Myung. I like the flashback strony way more. I had the same problem while watching Chicago Typewriter ...

I feel you on this one. SLS is strong in this drama.

is english not your 1st language? Coz that's the only reason you would misunderstand my comment so badly. I clearly stated "Even if most people would not like his acting" and WOULD here means hypothetical scenario. I am not saying most people does not like it, I said EVEN IF it was true she should not decide whenever she should or should not watch the drama just based on those comments.

never decide whenever you want to watch a drama just by comments. Watch first 2 eps yourself and decide then. Even if most people would not like his acting, there are people who love it, and you might end up being one of them and enjoying the drama a lot. + even me, not liking his acting, would still say you should try, coz overall story is really interesting and you might love all the rest characters :)

Many people hate Ma Hwi Young's character but I myself love him. I dislike him as a human being,m but so far he is the most interesting out of all introduced characters in the show and I cannot wait to see what they will do with him later on.

I'm pretty sure he is the main bad buy, that's why he is listed as a main. And seeing the preview of the next ep, we can assume there will be more of him now.

Well, I'd say that a good ending of the discussion. Have a nice watch of this and all the other dramas you watch and will watch in the future :)

so what you are saying, you thought of me as a small minded and ignorant person? What exactly gave you that opinion of me? I never said no one can like his acting, I said I don't like it and FOR ME it's not too good. You have this specific view of people criticizing him as someone who hates without a reason and just dislikes him coz he is an idol. Which is not true. I'd try to give you some reasons on why I am not into his acting, and all you said is you like it, without even specifying what exactly in his performance grabbed your attention. You kept trying to convince me that I don't dislike his acting, and the acting is not a problem, but rather directors choices, or how the character was written, or anything that does not have anything with Eunwoo.
Also, for me, other people's opinion matters a lot. And exchanging your views with others, especially the ones you disagree with is amazing way to learn as long as both sides are willing to engage and share their views and reasons for them. So I must disagree that no ones opinion matters.

if it's just an opinion and it does not really matter, then why are you replying to all comments criticizing his acting, even if they were a replay to someone else and not meant for you? I stated my opinion and you keep replying with exactly same sentences and arguments. What's the point?

For you there might not be anything cringy, for me there is. I am not impressed with his acting, does not mean I don't like the drama overall. I am more than interested with the plot to the point I am willing to ignore the fact I don't like Eunwoo's acting. I think I explained enough why I feel like his acting is not "adequate". As far as I know, comment section is for everyone to share their opinions, may it be compliments or criticism. I don't hate on Eunwoo, I am I fan. But I do believe he was pushed into lead roles way too quickly, before he even had time to develop any good acting skills to make it look more natural. The company most like saw how much money they can get out of him acting, and did not think, he might not be ready for the job. yet.

Oh, I dislike how his character is written too, and I feel like he does not exactly fit the overall story and mood of the drama, and that's all on director and writer. I feels like his scenes and all the rest of the scenes are so different it feels like I'm watching 2 different dramas. That said, I still am fairly sure I also dislike his acting, not only director choices about the character and Eunwoo's performance. I had similar problem while watching kor. ver. of Legal High, while I disliked the directing of the male character, I still could appreciate Jin Goo's good acting.
And I definitely do not criticize him simply coz he is an idol actor, since I love many of other idol actors who are doing an amazing job. I just truly think his acting lacks depth and is a bit awkward. I'm an easy to move to tears kind of person, but if his emotional acting making me laugh not cry, I would say something went wrong there.

I must agree with you, as much as I love Eunwoo as an idol, I don't think he was ready for a lead role win period drama. His acting is just not convincing. His "surprised" face is always exactly the same, which it shouldn't, because depending on that is the situation we react differently, and even the surprised expression changes. His didn't and that's because it lacks nuance. Can he be a good actor? Maybe, but for now he lacks experience needed. He is decent, up to good in scenes not involving strong emotions, but then we get something like a scene from 2nd ep, when he is banned from reading or writing anything, and it was just bad. Starting from his eyes being not focused on anything, facial expression fitting a serious bawling of eyes, when there are barely any tears and sloppy lines delivery. All of this makes me not care about his character at all and most of the time I just wish there would be less scenes with him, and more with other actors, who are simply better at the craft.

The tags are not really correct about female lead, at least I don't really see her as a airhead. But it is a truth she is less competent than the male lead. He is a professor, she is just a 2nd year resident. But I think it's awesome how much she wants to learn and be a better doctor. As for now, after watching 3rd ep, I love the female lead character a lot.

Curious how all the people saying "just another fat shaming drama" and dropping it after 2 eps think now, when it's so good.

I think the mom committed suicide coz she could not take it all, his DID and the fact she is alone without any help.

He most likely has DID, and bringing up anything from is childhood (something must have happened back then) makes the Doctor K persona come out. As we saw when he was talking on the phone with that prosecutor.

Yeah, there was no closure which was weird, coz it was a huge scene for this couple. And they just don't mention it at all and we don;t see the aftermath

His role in Search: WWW is killing me, he is too cute.

Inventing something takes time. Figuring how something u have never seen works takes time. He saw this type of machine 1st time in his life and he was like "I know how it works!". If he is that smart he should know better than to help people who enslaved him.
