yeah but just because she started feeling she is the bad person here and unreasonably rude but she was just setting fair boundaries tbh

truck of doom trope plus both leads childhood trauma. such healing. pushy ML with endless cute and clichee gestures for FL with original never to be seen before in kdrama land: clutch bike saving scene, medicine/coat offering, super concerned and protective ML everytime FL sighs. one sided dynamic with cold and uninterested FL at the begging. FL says she s not interested and sets boundaries but in the end gives in to the dreamy and handsome ML lead which prevails because he doesn't take no for an answer and he s persistent continuing to do nice things for FL. i hope there is more depth to the story because if not this will be another drama that falls into banality

i feel like he is beeing too insistent and her drawn limits were fair, she told him straight she s not interested in getting close to anyone. but in the end this is kdrama, he's the ML and beeing pushy and persistent doing endless cute things for the FL prevails, because she is starting to give in as we see. so the message here beeing that as a man you should still pursue the girl even if you are pushed away..?

he recognised her when they first met in SK so he knows who she is and how she looks from their previous chats/seeing her in that video call or recording and if he feels that sorry for the state she is in now he better tell her the truth now if he really wants to help her move on. even if he has some memory loss and he doesn't remember everything he still remembers chatting with her and hiding it while trying to get close to her doesn't sit right with me

for me as a viewer it's so frustrating when a love triangle turns into a white knight competition between 2 guys chasing same female, doing a lot of stuff for her showing they are interested and care, the girl offers almost nothing in exchange, cannot make up her mind and end up misleading both of them. the current stage k-drama romances where MLs/SMLs keep throwing themselves at the girl with the girl showing little to none reciprocation except towards the last 2 episodes are just not for me

baby is real is just that the scenes with him and the transitions look unnatural or cut but it's just a baby it's not like they can film like with adult actors

lol

thank you

does anyone know the song from the intro?

We still don't know why was ML depressed and wanted to jump and did he randomly stopped when he heard those message alerts knowing that she texted him...? Did he always talk to her instead of her actual BF, did her real BF even talk at all to her or was he totally disinterested? Did FL and her actual BF even met IRL in Korea before or how did she end up having feelings for him? Knowing this is k-drama land they will probably show that she actually started catching feeling after texting with ML not before and with her actual BF not talking to her at all and not actually caring at all. Anyways i don't really like their dynamics so far, he is too pushy around her when he's a total stranger to her. And then he really wonders ''why does she draw a line'' like dude, she doesn't even know you, do you want her to jump in your arms and live happily ever after? Last scene of episode 2 as well, he is repeatedly told she doesn't need his help and to be let alone and he's keep doubling down in the most cringey and white knight way possible keep insisting to offer his jacket which she didn't even end up wearing it. What's the message here? As a ML you have to be persistent, keep pursuing and do unsolicited endless ''cute'' gestures and in the end you'll win the girl? Maybe this looks dreamy and this is what majority of the viewers want to see but i am fed up with this same romance buildup dynamics and cliches If you feel that grateful because she helped you overcome your depression and also feel bad towards her seeing she is still stuck and affected due to what happened 7 years ago then find a moment and tell her the truth, but it's too early plot wise for that and they are just showing the ''green flag'' jumpy ML for now.

time passages in k-dramas was always treated superficially and only needed for the sake of the plot. they don't make sense most of the times, ML-FL know each other from childhood/highs school, they separated/lost contact, both in their 30s now, single, they met again and start talking like nothing happened in between in their lives, somehow in the eyes of the writers and viewer this type of love/relationship is more pure and worthy

In the last 3 dramas i have watched with him casted as ML (Love All Play, Castaway Diva, Serendipity's Embrace) he was just the same, you could take his character/personality from those 3 shows and put it here and it wouldn't look out of place. Working full time in the service of FL there as well being a supper supportive green flag ML that does everything right. I don't think I'm crazy to wish for a bit of originality or creativity for these shows and characters, to move on from the same cliches and romance buildup tropes and interactions, same shoe tying ML's that run up with an umbrella or randomly appear every time FL takes a fart or is in slight discomfort. Can't they just already move from the same replicated dynamics and write some original characters and genuine non one sided interactions between them?

K-dramas writers really love to write a ''white knight'' ML character, i mean.. can't romance be developed other way around? I just see it as lazy writing if every other ML character is written to be this way. I feel like he's way too over the top and jumpy every time he gets the chance, like i know he's grateful for what he feels she did for him, but it just feels forced and too early. The interaction at the end of the second episode felt weird, he might feel a connection and be drawn towards her but for her he's just a stranger for as long as he choses to keep it a secret who he is and that they interacted before, but i guess that is kept for later episodes. If no FL-ML childhood connection/trope, grandma/grandpa must feel in, ok now that every character is connected romance is possible.

that guy already looked in love at the restaurant scene felt bad for him, could still be him though lol

when they first met i thought she has memory loss due to trauma of believing her boyfriend died 7 years ago but it didn't made any sense as no one close to FL recognised him, also towards the end i saw that there was another name that popped up for her ex bf and after reading some theories here it made more sense of a more plausible scenario of what happened

i thought he was her real bf and she forgot about him due to trauma of thinking he died

that would be dark af

lol

that table scene was weirdly uncomfortable

It's a little bit predictable. Most of the times a love triangle is inserted just as another attempt to create a bit of drama/tension, make it ''interesting'' or fill episodes up having a bit of a side story (aside the usual trauma). I don't have a problem with love triangles as long as they are not predictable, we already know that in kdrama land 99% of the time ML and FL end up together and SML or SFL are just there to be more of a support role than actual leads with independent stories and life. In this drama i don't see SML having a real shot with FL, and if the SML is a good guy like in this case up to this point, he'll just end up a character people will be sorry for or pity. It is still a nice feel good watch all together, i don't have a problem with FL's acting or personality, she is nice. I also like the dynamics between regular ML-FL characters, than poor clueless FL that is most of the times a doormat in front of CEO ML. I am still going to rate this pretty high just for the fact there is no ML and FL childhood trope/connection with endless flashbacks, that's already progress to me as long as romcoms go.
