Do watch After Signal. It's so much better and answers a lot of questions. I truly believe PDs are trying to redeem themselves by giving us 6 eps. as explanations.

What do you guys think about Ricky and Ha Rim. I really like them together and hope it'll last. All these dating shows make me wary when good things happen so early on. I'm waiting for a twist. Not gonna lie, Jerome's age surprised me too. He fully admits that he acts 'young'. It'll be interesting where Benita's mindset will be from this point on. Also.... revealing whether they have kids will make a HUGE impact on relationships.

Sora is stunning! As a viewer, she definitely comes across 'icy' and aloof. When she revealed her abusive past, we now understand why she's this way. She's so scarred that she's unable to show her real self. I doubt she's going to find someone on this show and wouldn't be surprised if she leaves early. I want to give her a huge hug.

The spin off will be 6 episodes. All the way until Oct. 6th!

I couldn't have said it any better. Bottom line...we were duped...big time!

I'm loving this show. Thank God we don't have to wait for hand holding or hugs until the end. There's some misunderstandings but no game playing. They've all been through divorces and just want to find a relationship. I hope Ricky & Ha-rim stick together until the end. As for Jerome and Benita...jury is still out...

The most disappointing season yet. I blame it all on editing. They totally butchered the series. We were made to dislike JY & MG and that's just not fair. The two monopolized so much screen time that the others didn't have a chance. Viewers were swayed by potential false relationships by splicing scenes together.

We never really saw MG & YS's interactions. I bet their relationship was established early on and the PDs didn't want to show it. But what's wrong with seeing one couple's end game?! That would add stability to the show. The constant head nodding and silent interaction on dates were so frustrating to watch....especially the last date between MG & JY. Talk about awkward.

All in all, I like the two couples at the end and hope they're still together and happy. Jumi was a hidden diamond that none of the men found. I loved her.

Watching all 4 episodes, I went back and re-watched the first 2. Now it made a lot of sense.

You're a lot kinder regarding JY. I get what you're saying and to some degree, I concur. But...I'm not convinced that she's unaware of what she's doing with the men. Being a former airline hostess, she knows how to appease passengers. I feel she's doing the same with all 4 guys. So disappointed that this ep. (honestly, the whole show) focused so much on her.

I sure hope the producers are aware of the negative feedbacks. They really botched this season big time! Don't drop it. You only have one ep. left. BTW, the panelists didn't help either. They were horrible.

Wow, good observation. I'll have to rewatch MG & YS's shopping date. But that's all I'll watch. The rest is pure torture. Also, GO made such a huge tray of banana pudding only to have her taste a small dish. Ugh!

Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. I didn't realize that some scripts are being written while the show's airing. Maybe that's why some endings can seem rushed or disjointed. Here in the West, most, if not all, are preproduced. That said, I really enjoy K Dramas and prefer them over most of the shows in the US.

Got it, thanks.

Question...Before the actors sign on the dotted line to a drama, do they know the outcome of the story? If so, do they have any input if they disagree?

I was crushed.

I don't know how to feel about the ending. Had I known the outcome, I'd probably quit early on. I tend to stay away from sad endings. I watch K dramas for escape, not to get depressed. That'll teach me for not waiting until all the episodes are out. I'm a TY fan and hope his next venture won't end like this.

I've been reading tons of negative posts regarding the finale. You're the only one that I completely agree with. I also enjoyed the drama and loved the leads & the 2nd leads. Maybe they left it 'open' for a possible sequel?

She's not your typical K drama female lead. That said, I like that she's stiff and gawky. She has the talent of delivering lines with such a straight face and yet, draw to the viewer's emotions (at least for me). I teared up a few times. She must be doing well as she'll be the FL in Squid Games 2.

Wouldn't it have been great if we had like a Hotel Del Luna vibe with odd/supernatural guests? With ML's two buddies working as staff all along? That would have been entertaining and add a bit of comic relief.

Do watch. It's far from perfect, but the leads will keep your attention. Their character development is so good and the chemistry is on point.
