By the end of the episode, I was ROFL because ... well you have to watch.
This is getting good. Episode 3 clarified a whole lot.
Let the games begin.
Dongju, as imperfect as you are, I am rooting for you, man.
Give it to them good.
I will say that I am still not invested in the character of the FL. Maybe that will change going forward as more of her story is shared. However, I do love the chemistry between the two main characters. JHS is on my shortlist of being one of the best fake kissers around.
For those who are uncertain, watch all 3 episodes before trashing this drama.
Right now, based on 3 episodes, I would give it a 9/10.
I like JHS in these mature roles.
Enjoy.

Went back to watch episodes 1 and 2. Apart from the story, I am loving this PHS look. Who knew he would look so sexy with long hair.

Thanks. This helps.

I'm trying to be patient with this one. The female character seems oblivious and self- absorbed...or maybe I have missed something in her story. Is it trauma? If so, okay. that explains it. I don't know, but I find the character exasperating. I'll give it a few more episodes. There has to be more because how in the heck can they get 32 episodes out of this?

This is shaping up pretty well. However, one has to pay close attention because they weave seamlessly between past and present. Therefore, it can be extremely confusing. I have no interest in the lead female character reuniting with the lead male character. I hope they write away that relationship. From what I've seen so far, the ML has been highly underestimated by the other players. PHS brings a calm, measured presence that I'm loving. The character is ordinary and not over the top. He doesn't reveal much but carries much within. Also, I suspect that there is a part of the ML's story that is hidden, because why would they set-up a random person. It will be interesting how this unfolds...I am rooting for the ML. The others need to crash and burn in their devious behavior. I just hope the writers do not forsake the story.

Damn!
What was that. And they all knew!
There had better be some fancy writing going forward.
No amount of crafty wordsmithing can make up for such a cruelty.
And it is only episode one!
On their last night together, she didn't want him to use protection. If she ends up pregnant, I am going to dismantle my computer.
I hope he gets revenge and bring them all down. Poor baby.

Mercy. These comments. If you didn't read the novel, it was a good yet sad ending. If you read the novel, then you know what happened in the epilogue. This drama did not include the epilogue...thank goodness.

They ended up together and left to live away from others. He is not the same due to trauma. It was a happier ending than the novel. I'm discovering that readers of the novel are tainting the drama with information that a non-reader of the novel will not know.
This story did not include the epilogue.

Exactly. While heartbreaking, the drama ended with them moving away to start their lives. They survived, thank goodness. They carry the trauma of war, yet they survived! It is a good ending. They left the book to tell their story.

They main characters left to start a life away from everyone. They did not tell anyone where they went, but they left behind their story in the book.

Wow. What a heartbreaking story. I'm glad the leads survived.. However the trauma of war forever marks their lives. My heart ached for Ben, as well as for all the people who lost loved ones. Life goes on even with the mark of tragedy. Although I read the epilogue to the novel, I'm glad this story ended with them deciding to live their life together.

You know. I really like this drama. HOWEVER, they keep lying to each other about how they are doing. They talk about being there for each other. Then they lie. They talk about being there for each other, then they lie. And it goes on and on. I am so tired of the trope of "I love you so much that I didn't want you to know." Bull. Otherwise this is a good drama.

This is such a good drama. I just don't have the words. It's refreshing to see characters take responsibility for their own stuff. Love the tight, focused storytelling.

I love this drama! I also love the fact that adults are acting like adults.

Love the storytelling and the slow unfolding.
Now the wait for the next episode. Scream.

The story is unfolding well. Good casting and acting.

So far, this is really good. The way his patience, warmth and care are affecting her is sweet. I love the tenderness of this story. Hope it continues.

The first two episodes were awful. Will give it two more viewings before deciding to drop it. Hopefully it gets better. There are some seasoned, good actors in this drama. Hopefully the story will honor them and their talent. However, I have never been a fan of Lee Min Ho's acting, which may color how I view this beginning. Let's see what the next two episodes bring.

Went back to watch ep 12. In an earlier episode, his reporter friend mentioned their prior engagement in a war zone. It makes sense that the ML would gravitate into that direction. What didn't make sense was her showing up there. In its totality, this was a great drama. Overall it is a 10 rating. Give it a try. Come to your own conclusions. Make sure to pay attention to each little detail.

Finished episode 2. Like the way the story is developing so far.
