Yura ruined the final 5 last episodes for me; the way she was put in the drama was totally a deus ex machine. Since she wasn't in the webtoon, who died in the place of Ji Hyuk ( I think I've heard that Min Hwan died in the place of Ji Hyuk; if so, who died in the place of Ji Won)?

Yes, most of the plot was cut.

It's been a while that I read the novel, but I think they spent some time married without people knowing about it.

Will it really be only 16 episodes? We're already at ep 15 and there's no "hidden marriage" so far.

haha yes, it's my guilty pleasure too!

Thanks! :)

So disappointed as well! I mean the novel plot is a mess, but the lead characters are great. Such a waste of this cast.

Anywhere we can watch it with Eng subs?

I'll try to answer you, but overall this is a very forgettable drama...
1. I don't remember it well, but I think in the middle of the show.
2. I think they break up three times. They're never together for very long, but they also don't break up seriously.
3. No time skip.
4. After they get together, they're on and off.
5. No.
6. Not really. The annoying characters are secondary characters not involved with main couple.
7. Happy ending.

There is no second lead syndrome. SML is the bad guy and there's a male friend who appears just for a few episodes.
By SFL do you mean the sister or Pinn? It's been a while that I watched the show, so I don't remember the exact number of episodes that the sister appears to be a threat, but I guess it's only around eps. 13-15. Pinn is annoying for the entire show, but she doesn't appear in all the episodes. Main couple is officially together from 13 to 16.

Yes, Do Jun was the main shareholder of Soonyang when he died, and I understood that he successfully got elected to be the manager, but he died before the date that he would officially take the position. The chaebol family member behind Hyun Woo's was Sung Joon (or maybe his wife, cuz her family was the one that used the money for buying the company's shares).
The grandfather didn't give Do Jun company shares, because he thought Do Jun was being too soft when he showed he cared for him. So the grandfather knew that Do Jun had to go back to being ruthless to be able to protect the company, and he thought the best way to do that would be to leave him nothing. That way Do Jun would fight with his all to get the company.

He would be perfect as Lu Ting Xiao!

Thanks! I'm almost there then :)

In which episode their kid appears for the first time?

Well Pla is frustrating till almost the end. but I like her scenes with Tai the most during eps 12-16; so if you like the couple I'd say to continue watching it.

oh I think I haven't watched many lakorns with that type of fake kiss, maybe just with a peck.

I don't know how much you want to be spoiled, but there's a compilation of their kisses here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTMsWELeAnM (two of them are from their other drama though).

What would be considered real kisses?
They do have a lot of kisses (I think more so than any ch3 drama I've watched) and their chemistry is really good.

Yes, I also hate the "forgiveness no matter what" ending that a lot of lakorns have! I could understand Tai's epiphany with his father, but I certainly didn't want him to say sorry to Aunt Maem and trying to help her, she deserved nothing from him.
Anyway, I don't think the story presented Tai's father as entirely innocent, I certainly didn't pity him lol. It was weird though that he continued the relationship.

I don't think Koong telling Tai that his father didn't know she was his girlfriend was pointless. It might be pointless for us viewers, who knew about it, but Tai knowing that for sure was for him to have a closure about his father. I think the finale wanted to show that, even though his father wasn't that great, he loved Tai (It was the same case for Sahatep and his father). And Tai needed that closure for him to know that he can and will be a better father figure to Tan.
