Amreen :
From ep 1 it was MIJI for me...
HJP's character is shown as someone who is quite hesitant to show his emotional side whether it was with grandma or NDS or SDM. So expecting his confession to SDM this early in the drama is not fair so we can't compare him to Jung Hwan who is hesitant till the 18th episode (but it still hurts to think about Jung Hwan's confession to himself in his jeep=(). Instead i am comparing this drama with "she was pretty". I know NDS is not that selfish as the SLF was in she was pretty but he tried to coverup the truth when HJP was almost going to confess the truth. I think this drama is raising the interest of the viewers by making SLM more charming but in the coming episode they will turn the tables and will show something evil about HJP which i absolutely don't want to see:(. I just want SDM to remember those letters and her first love and make a decision like park seo joon did in she was pretty:P.
Sorry, I didn't mean to say about the show or the story equally. I'm just talking about how the writers suprised us by choosing a second lead than the person who what we thought was the first lead. So when we all though that Do San was the end game, since, the show is heading towards, Han Ji Pyeong might have an actual chance to be the end game.
And yeah, She Was Pretty is a pretty good example. As well as an old american movie called The Truth About Cats and Dogs. Where she is a dj, the guy fell for her personality through the radio phone call. But because she's kind of insecure, she presented her friend instead. Since, she doesn't have feelings for him yet. And he fell for her friend who took a liking to him too. There are time where the girls wanted to tell the truth, but the her girl friend in love with him for real. He was already hinting that her friend was not who he though she was. Shes catching feelings for him too. She's always third wheeling until eventually truth has been revealed. I don't remember the most parts, but, the two broke up in a casual manner, and he wanted to start again with the actual girl he fell for, which is the dj.
