I don't think what ML is doing is at all cheating. People who say he is cheating a looking at his character thorough the lens of real world instead try to consider his situation, he had his whole life completely changed due to the supernatural stuff first the curse now the spell if not for them he would married to the SML and moving on with his life. But due to the curse he had to shut everyone out and after he finally dealt with the curse the love spell happened thus throwing him into new chaos but it came with something good as he could now actually feel what it feels to be in love which he never knew but had to fight that feeling as it was forced on him anyone in his situation either good or bad would be confusing af. Now admist of fighting off the spell he is in continuous conflict about his real feelings for FL which would have never happened if not for love spell making him know what love is. And even before he can figure it out completely the SFL proposed him and he didn't had any point other than his illness to reject her which he lost due to the healing spell thus he had to accept SFL's proposal because she for him is a good person who chased him and stayed with him alongside also accepting the fact that he might be severely ill. But as his feelings are now growing he bursts out from time to time as he is now not just fighting the spell but also his real feelings which is much harder.
Now if there was no love spell in this drama and the ML fell for the FL like some normal non-supernatural genre drama and then it would be cheating for example rowoon's precious drama "she would never know" where SML was in love with FL but was secretly marryin SML that is cheating which is not the case here as nothing like this would have happened if not for the love spell. Considering ML's personality in absence of love spell he would have found out about SFL's personality and cheating leave her and then go for FL. Because he if he was not a good sane person he could have just misused the love spell situation from the start.

1. the red hand is actually someone who died due to ML's ancestor probably ML might be his reincarnation as he sees flashbacks.
2. I think they should have used this one as explanation for the spell rather than the fair skin one.
3. the shaman is the one who is entrusted with the shaman house by ML's family and as she has foresight thus knows about the box, the curse, ML's and FL's destiny, etc.
4. I guess it was mentioned to kill everyone other than one person in every generation thus grandfather and father of ML are still alive but even with that living a long life is not possible due to which everyone was worried about ML's grandfather.
5. I think SFL just thinks of ML as someone that only she deserves and treats everyone else as just chess pieces which might be why she isn't switching but rather cheating as she is just playing with the other guy but wants the ML to be the one she marries cause she planned it so to happen that way. Plus usually toxic people tend to like good nice people so that also makes sense.
6. SML is similar to FL as they both are used to being lonely all their lives but SML wants to always live alone and thus isn't aware of how to process things like normal conversations, and jokes, especially not love. Although he was much more expressive in episode 7 as compared to previous episodes.
7. I think he is also under the spell as he returned the bottle to the FL when she was working on the field so there is a heavy chance he drank it but is reacting totally differently to the spell due to his personality or he might just be a crazy stalker who starts liking anyone who is nice to him or talks to him, etc.
8. I think so too, There is a good chance as she just got divorced when her ex-husband cheated on her, and Gong Seo Gu tried helping her, and when he saved her from getting hit I think she started liking him.

oh sorry I didn't notice that as I had a lot to write about, thank you😊

Oh man, seriously both ML and FL are quite pitiful if you consider everything happening till now to them. One was suffering from a generational curse, shutting everyone out of his life, and literally decided to suffer alone after paralysis and eventually dying, while the other was bullied, ostracized, lost her dad, and couldn't even find his body until the shaman told her about it. And now both have to deal with a lot more😣😣. Even now after finally being healed from the curse he was again made to fall into a situation where he can't control the circumstances he has to mentally and physically fight himself to not lose to give in the love potion, and also has to deal with the troublemaker SFL who is going to do everything in her power to manipulate the situation to her favor plus he is suffering trying to figure out if his feelings are real or from the potion. The only good thing is that due to the love potion ML was able to understand what actual love feels like so is able to tell he doesn't love SFL but then again to fight the love potion he is still choosing the SFL also I think he is feeling obligated and guilty towards SFL due to which he isn't leaving her. On the other hand, FL will again be put in a really bad situation due to SFL, plus she also has to figure out who she really likes alongside taking into consideration the ML might only be doing things due to the love potion thus even after realizing her feeling she will suffer due to uncertainty.
Plus we also have the past which till now hasn't been revealed thus making it seem like disaster rather than help which might be splitting them apart towards the later end of the drama thus leading to the final episode. Also for the SML, I think there should be more to him than what we see now because till now other than being the reason for the love potion to be concocted his presence felt unnecessary to the plot I know he is good and nice but till now even though we remove him there won't be any difference to the plot, If he is a really good character than it will be a waste to keep him just for the sake of putting in the love triangle they should add something else for him as a plot or at least another love interest because he was lonely too and finally opened up to FL.

I don't think they are going to kill either Hogae or Seol, One key point is that since S1 it's always shown that Hogae is the troubleshooter who eventually can come up with a solution that fixes the various different situations they all have faced so far. Even when Dojin died Hogae was not there rather was saving Seol Thus one got saved although it doesn't necessarily mean the other needed to die but well no one in their right mind was there to resolve the situation at Dojin's end so things happened. So in short there is very little chance of Hogae dying Also if they wanted to kill Seol off they would have done so at the starting episodes when she was actually dying but was rather saved.

recently nearly all the dramas rely on love triangles or square or pentagons or something 😂😂 just to keep the episode count to 16 but as a result they have become really draggy. I too am hoping they resolve it as soon as possible so that we can focus more on the main couple's romance and their past lives.

okay let's look at it from another angle there are 2 guys that are approaching you one is someone who you are familiar with and know that they are not a bad person and can keep things in a boundary because you are kind of like friends plus you them from work as well as something from here and there while the other guy is a total stranger who you talked with only once but he comes to you office coincidenctly when you are just off work with flowers in his hands and talks strangely with you and when you reject he lashes out by saying you promised to hear him whenever he felt like talking about his wife.
See we don't even need the love portion in the picture you will still feel that the other guy is a creep by default that's normal survival mechanism it has nothing do to with apperance. Moreover FL knows that the stalker has drank the love portion thus is not sure how far he can go which makes him potentially more dangerous, if they knew each other before the spell was casted maybe she wouldn't feel uncomfortable with him.

from the preview of episode 7, I feel that they are going to stretch the love portion and confession part maybe till episode 11 or 12 rather than settling it at episode 8 or 9 like most light-hearted dramas. Now that SML knows about the spell we will see them competing maybe for 2 episodes and then another 2 for the stalker part which might lead to confession with rejection from either side and then chase for 1 episode. Also, I think ML will break up with SFL for good this time in either episode 7 or 8 as it was shown that she will publicize their relationship. I actually wanted to see more of the dating era episodes because of how good ML and FL are at bickering with each other and how cute ML is while chasing FL under the spell (as it only makes you fall in love the approach will be different based on personality like in case of ML and the stalker both are differently reacting to it). But as things are I rather hope they don't go with the last episode fix rather at least give us 3-4 episodes to fully enjoy their dating era.

it is also the intention that matter when ML does anything FL knows he will know his boundaries and also till now even though he is physically and mentally being controlled against his will, he still tries to resist doing things and is quite open about anything and everything he is doing for her thus making him more trustworthy. I don't think there is anything regarding looks here at all.

well, I still haven't watched episode 6 but till now I can kind of feel FL is starting to fall in love with the ML There are subtle hints of jealousy, attention, etc. The people who are complaining either about the ML or FL need to understand that both the characters have never experienced love in their lives till now. The FL is acting too strange around SML because he is her first love which usually would have happened in high school or so but well she was bullied and was ostracized so was never able to experience it. So, it is kind of understandable why she got a crush on SML so easily as people who were previously bullied either become too easy to manipulate by kindness or they can potentially go all psycho but as our FL is so active and energetic she just fell for kindness rather than being manipulated by it. About the ML being rude to FL well he isn't that bad he judged her wrong at the start which led to the comments he made on her (even we fans judged many of the things she did okay) Another is that after just the 1st episode I guess they rather bickered with each other rather than taking the things to the heart like how usually 2 best friends are like when they first meet (they will be at each other's throats but still care about one another). And as for the ML being rude to FL regarding the spell thing, I guess he is rather holding back because he is good and kind of cares about FL Let's see it from another angle if you are compelled by a spell that is making you love someone without your consent when you are already in confusion about your current relationship, and you are now not just saying things you don't want but also you psychically can't control yourself from doing things for a total stranger you meet just about a week ago when you have already been suffering your whole life from a generational curse which ends up killing most of the people in your feeling due to which you have a tendency to shut people out of your life by default, and now that you are finally free from the curse you are also dreaming strange things about the same stranger who put a spell on you accidentally thus confusing you even more and more about what is happening.
Now ML and FL are actually experiencing what real love is, as ML is suffering from the spell he now understands he wasn't in love before but was just feeling obligated to SFL to maintain a relationship with her and FL is also slowly and unknowingly started to feel things too plus she now has a whole podcast on what is love (the ML speaking to her) so they will get around one way or the other. The SML knows how she can get ML to do things the way she wants thus complicating the situation even more alongside ML and FL strongly trying to go against their destinies. Also, another point to why FL is like SML is because they are personality-wise similar both are lonely and need people it's just that one shuts people out of his life while the other can't get the people to come in.

this show is literally peak comedy😂😂 with bits and bites of really good messages here and there like in today's episode when ML said "You don't talk about yourself to close people, you talk about yourself to get close to people". Also, some dialogues like 😂😂😂😂 "I think I'd rather have the red hand" are really timely delivered. I just started the 5th episode and it all looks really good till now.

I started this series today with a prejudice that the ML was some really bad guy judging from all the comments I read about him on episode 1 but after watching episode 1 I really can't seem to find anything bad about him he is kind of more like a realist as opposed to the unhumanly positive characters that we often see in sports dramas. Because most of the deals he made, not even one were unethical rather he acted as per what his athletes actually needed which of course was money for some and money plus security for the last one (kim hee won). Every person in that industry is doing the same whereas ML rather chooses to be more honest than others. Most people are complaining because they are used to sports drama where the athlete that the agent has is always a genius and other than fake news from the media doesn't face any problems throughout the story and we have happy ever after. But in reality, most of the athletes don't make it to any official clubs or teams and many even after achieving some things don't last more than 5-6 years. Here we see the ML who regularly represents such athletes and is deeply connected to one of them for whom he took the risk of trying to settle things but was rather forced into the contract. Also I am looking forward to how the story will go and would be more happy if there is romance in this because the ML and FL look really great together.

episode 4 was the best so far😂😂 The way the ML says those cringe dialogues on nearly perfect occasions is really funny😂😂 The writer kind of combined all the dialogues they could find from old to new dramas and pushed them into the ML's personality. But I hope they do not mess up the story too much.
For example, this might go the route where the ML starts having actual feelings for FL but FL keeps on chasing SML without realizing her own feelings then when she realizes them the SML is already in love with the FL whereas at this point the ML has given up after getting released from the spell and getting rejected after his real confession and maybe we will have the FL then chasing the ML for a while and all in all here there will be the SFL who will create troubles for the FL thus distancing ML from her more and getting him closer to the FL.
Anyway the best part for me in this series is now the so many romantic scenarios and dialogues plus the bickering part, may the upcoming episodes have more of them😂😂.

i think so too

this is the kind of drama that is good yet not that good Either has a simple plot yet seems complex and the characters in the story are made the way they are just so that the story can work due to which they aren't made that likable. The ML is not cold rather intensionally uses his words just to show he doesn't care and keeps avoiding people so that they can't enter his life nor know what's going on with him but considering his life is supernaturally F***ed up it seems kind of a right thing to do. The FL is also kind of creepy as she seems to me like the girls in crime dramas who are lonely and someone's kindness can unintentionally make them fall in love and then they turn total psycho but considering we need someone insane enough to actually use a spell to make someone fall in love with them after the other person just did some normal human kindness things like talking nicely to them or complementing them, it kind of makes sense and I know both ML and FL will have character development and we might get to seem really good romance up ahead considering both the actors are a really good plus also know for rom-com. At this point, the most that I like about the drama is the back-to-back bickering of the leads and I hope the story gets better after the plot buildup.
Also, SFL seems kind of off to me, like manipulative and someone who wants everything to work her way only, and maybe after ML knows what she actually did in the past or what her actual nature is like then maybe he will break up with her.

LHJ and JSY's conversations are so effortlessly funny😂😂 best thing so far in the series are the comebacks JSY gives to literally any comment made by LHJ😂😂 and that too with a cold face and tone reminds me of Goo Ryun of the tomorrow kdrama.

such a great thriller for this year I guess other than "the first responders" rarely any show gives off this type of feeling. The teamwork is such bliss and the way they are approaching the whole plot and the whole situation bit by bit really relates to the first responders where no magic happens for the character to solve the mystery rather they go through a series of iterations with the time constraint which feeling like a sword is hanging above their necks as they uncover everything. I don't know how I am going to survive till October 26 waiting each week for an episode but still, if the show stays the way it did in episodes 1 and 2 surely the wait will be worth it.

Such a great drama I don't know why I am hearing so much hate against it but for me, this drama has a relatively new concept where instead of 1 story we have several mini-plots which all are in themselves a whole drama plot. The chemistry between the leads is also really great and freaking cute. Also, the way these mini-plots progress slowly with the details regarding the main plot like what might have happened in the past, etc. are being told. And the different subtle details that they keep in scenes are also great like how the couple the FL matched at the start became her parents in the second tribulation, the hairpin part, many small references to previous tribulations, etc. And man they have made both ML and FL really likable and the SML although is a good guy for trying to maybe help FL (as some people mentioned in his defense) yet I still can't bring myself to like that guy which also in a way is greatly executed in the drama, the MLs acting is also quite to the point the expressions and his dialogue execution is also really great.

I liked this show from the very start the characters especially the main 3 were straight-out awesome their dynamics while working together and the emotional and logical understanding that Jindo Dog had with Song Seol and Bulldozer was awesome, the romance part also intrigued me a lot although I supported Hogae and not Dojin still liked all the main characters. I am still going to hope that just like how the writer handled everything in S1 they will do the same in S2 because even in S1 Hogae nearly died and was put in a situation that seemed irreversible yet everything worked out even the romance part in those few episodes. Similarly, I am hoping that the writer will do the same in this one too although it might seem hopeless I am going to stick around to see how things go from here. Dojin's death had no significance to the plot rather they lost many scenarios in the plot where he would have made an impact as we have seen in S1 how significant all the 3 are for the progress of the plot, also many are saying that it is just to end the love triangle but I better hope it's not true because we all know how much Jin Hogae blames himself for any and everything that goes wrong around him and how good-natured Song Seol is and her family like bond with Dojin so it will be really conflicted with their initial personalities if they get together after Dojin's death so the writer didn't solve the love triangle rather dissolved it and threw it out of the window. For me, the best ending would be Dojin coming back somehow (which actually can serve as a good plot for the show for a few episodes) Song Seol and Hogae get together and Dojin start something with the love interest from S1 that would be just perfect.

True, the way they ended the drama is way better here. But overall I was kind of disappointed as I came expecting this drama would be at the level of long ballad due to such great casting but other than the ending scene I feel long ballad was way better.
