prolly won't be anything other than flirting with 2nd leads anyway even with them breaking in episode 1

not going to happen though

can t these writers and producers make a full kdrama without the constant younger leads scenes from the past? I m so tired of this recurring cliche almost any romance kdramas has it. am I suppose to just watch it and think how cute and perfect were they back then or what? because I m not feeling it. in the end of episode 2 ML keeps pushing it even proposing like wth? she just broke up with you and want to make up with a proposal? does that fix the previous issues? it doesn t make any sense, it all seems forced and desperate. also FL is really spoiled, acting like a child needing constant baby sitting and approval that everything is ok and "sparkly" that s so high maintenance it must feel exhausting for the ml to deal with her insecurities. but it seems like he doesn t care and just want to be with her. anyway I m not really feeling "the romance" yet and not feeling like rooting for the main leads relationship

there are 2 episodes out, decide for yourself. others aren t going to know better than you what you like

not going to happen in kdrama land leads ending up with the obvious seconds leads. writers and producers are not that brave to do that, they prefer the safe route. if this is going to happen here I m ready to eat up my words because it would be a more interesting and less predictive plot

that's not normal. 10 years relationship and they still love each other. you don't run when you encounter the first hardship without trying to work it out at least. ''the spark'' will dissapear after some time with other new partners as well, it doesn't last a lifetime, it's just human chemistry. and that isn't everything. some value love, respect, familiarity, stability and other aspects more

same here but it usually goes the predictable way. wish writers would have more guts and not go for the obvious development all the time. anyway it's not like their relationship is so toxic/broken and can't be fixed. it's hard to throw away 10 years when they still love each other, it's not like they cheat on each other and now they can't stand each other. with a little effort on both sides they could do better, i think she/they gave up too early just because this is the main plot script and this is not a perfect world, it's still a drama. i think she needs to fix her frustrations with her career and get some development there and him make her feel she's not a burden. but surely there will be more drama with the 2nd leads until they get back together

'' But the way she handle things and see relationship is not healthy.'' this is a drama with flawed/nuanced characters and complicated situations, if everything was perfect from the start there would be no room for personal growth. if everything is fine drama isn't drama'ing and people lose interest

'' I would rather this drama focus on them healing after break up and moving on.'' not going to happen. this is kdrama, leads will get back together in the end after some angst and evem some drama with the 2nd leads

Seems like a story of a long term couple who will break up for a period just to finally get back together in the end after some personal development and growing, realising they still love each other. I don't think either one of them will explore further more with the 2nd leads other than flirting. The writers/producers must have big guts to make the leads end up with 2nd leads and that's really rare in kdrama land if never. Episode 1 wasn't boring but neither that interesting, i'll give this more episodes before i judge it.

any bingers here? was this good?

I started watching in 2022 but i've seen alot of pre 2022 dramas, and my feeling is that they were much better written, 16 episodes per drama didn't feel ''too long'' and were consistently good quality, now 12 episodes dramas seems to get dragged from episode 8-9 onwards and i have a hard time finishing a show. Nowadays Rom-Coms are mostly ''copy-pasted'' , same clichees, same tropes, same structure, nothing new, very little original in them. Writters/producers preffer to take the easy and safe way and just make something ''proven to work and which gets the numbers''. All my favorite dramas are from 2022 and earlier. These days if i get to watch 1 or 2 good dramas/year i consider myself spoiled. The golden age of kdramas seems to be past us, or maybe i'm just melancholic.

it made more sense if he was actually a ghost and real him in coma for half an episode. basically he got ran over by a car, got rushed unconscious to the ER, resuscitated probably needed surgery but he just gets up with drs letting him, walks it off like it was a tricycle that hit him and scratched his left pinky. all of this for the writters/producers to have an episode ending where something ''important'' happens, and then at the start of the next episode everyone is cool again and they're like ''hey it was no biggie at all we all cool''. this type of clichee in present in almost every drama like the writters consistently go for this lazy clichee written episode endings insulting the viewers inteligence. i get that they see ghosts and it's fiction and supernatural stuff is involved, but make it have some sense and logic in other aspects at least if you want viewers with some basic thought process to get at least a bit immersed in the drama you're producing/writting.

get more creative, you're just copying words from me now. you are the type of obsesive parasocial person replying to each and every comment in a section of a show you're watching trying to dissprove or attack someone who's not constantly glazing the show that you're liking so much. let people be and get on with your life

does it usually ruin your fairy tale bubble when someone is not liking the same stuff that you do? do you need constant validation from others to feel that a show you enjoy is actually good? getting all salty trying to dissaprove someone's personal opinion about a show is actually sad

did you got butthurt that someone subjectively didn't enjoy it or what?

can't blame ga eul for not wanting to get married at that pointa when he wasn't financially stable and still working on his artist career. no excuse as well for leaving for so long and then coming back like nothing happened expecting to be taken back

i enjoyed this short little drama

wish they focused more on the inside cases and build their relationship more interacting while working together than this attempted "love triangle" or history subplot she had with SML which was obvious it wasn't going to lead anywhere and was just for a bit of drama and tension to happen between the 2 two leads so that afterwards to suddenly figure it out that they like and run to eachother. lately not even second leads have their own separate stories and life in kdramas and everything is about the leads time on screen

finished ep 4, it is hinted again and again that Gi Beom might be the murderer but i would be suprised if it's not actually his brother Gi Hwan
