I haven’t watched the drama yet, but it’s known that South Korea is basically a US colony. They act like they’re the white people of Asia. So it’s not surprising

I knew your last move would be calling me his fan. Whoever I’m a fan of, I’d never be obsessive enough to rate an average drama highly just because my idol is in it or blame other fandoms for its failure

Yes, I like that about Cdramas. But Kdramas used to be like that too. The more they went international, the more they’ve been declining.

In this case, this FL isn’t dating anyone either. Both FLs had a crush on the other guy
Here, the SML is at least a good guy. But in Shine On Me, the SML was awful, yet the FL was still swooning over him

Have to disagree cause I recently tried watching Shine on me and ML was getting cuckolded

ugh I also watched the Princess royal another cuck. Why do I always end up watching same kinda drama at the same time😭

Yes bcz reading other comments confirmed my thoughts. If a drama doesn’t hook me from the beginning, Why would I even be curious about how it ends? I’m not sitting through nearly 40 episodes just for five episodes of supposed happiness

You said I didn’t know because I wasn’t here before and now you’re saying I stalk here every day? Pick a lane😭
Dismissing it to fans of other dramas won’t suddenly make this below average drama look good to anyone else.

Because I saw a comment saying she still likes him in episode 12, why would I watch it? Just to see the male lead get cuckolded?

How is this considered a well written drama when the FL is into someone else for most of it but they still market it as a romance? Not everyone has the same taste, you are right. That's whyI can’t see it as a good romance when one lead treats the other like a backup option

In that case, the comment I replied to is also a fake account. Check their profile. I don’t get how having a new account automatically makes someone’s opinion worthless. Does that mean the OP’s concern was invalid too

So is everyone in the comment section just BWS fans or shippers? Because most of the comments I see are people not liking the drama. I only noticed one account with IU’s name. You can’t really turn this into a fanwar or play the sympathy card when the drama itself was just average.

The eight tailed fox said Eunho had been crying over Siyeol for ten years. So why didn’t she just go and see him?

The difference between the Kdramas you mentioned and this one is that the FL never really swooned over the SML or even if she did, it didn’t drag on for long except SWBS, which I didn’t like for that same reason. This drama feels more comparable to the currently airing Our Universe where FL has a huge crush on SML and they keep dragging it out but People are rightfully criticizing that

This is my favourite type of character

Lmao I kind of get you. I just dropped a drama where the ML came across as a total simp and cuck.
I actually commented here without watching, so I don’t know what’s waiting for me. As long as the FL doesn’t like another guy, I probably won’t see him as a simp. I actually love watching losers in love

So thankfully, there’s no character the FL has a crush on or swoons over, right? That’s my main concern with romance stories these days.

I mean there’s a romance tag and the poster clearly suggests a love story. What were you expecting? Maybe romance just isn’t your thing because most romance fans would be giggling over the very things you’re complaining about.

Nice to see others feel the same. I watched it as it aired and enjoyed parts of it, but something always felt empty. I never warmed up to the male lead and I don’t think he had any major character development.It seemed like the female lead simply outmaneuvered him , rather than him actually growing. I couldn’t quite put that into words back then and I didn’t dare comment because the viewers would’ve eaten me alive lol

Is there any SML or SFL?

Maybe I expected more from the short clips I’d seen but this ended up feeling really boring. Only the kissing scenes were worth it, I guess. I also didn’t expect the actors to have such a big age gap. I thought it would be at most 10 years.
