Ep3, 30:10. She goes down the ladder and both of men reach out to help her. Then, she takes Soo Ho hand.
32:08 On the fridge, the two arrows pointing the way to Compostela are facing in opposite directions. (the journey they wanted to make). He turns the arrows in the same direction.

Just started. Interesting to get 40 min episodes. First one is good on many points. The story looks close to "cunning single lady", but it was a 16 ep drama. It had time to show the reasons of the breakup. For now, just a short flashback in Soundtrack2.
Expo is smartly done and natural. Example: She makes a delivery and meets two old university friends. The dialogue gives us her current situation, without it seeming forced.
Lot of frustration. I put on-hold, maybe drop, after ep7. - On one hand, there are good situations, dialogues and characters. - On other hand, it's often slow and boring. Give you the feeling to waste time. - So, it sounds like real life but with surprising events or decisions. I'm often annoyed by the sleepy background music and songs. Limp and overlastic moments. It's a fresh and naturalistic drama, and I don't like it have mood of a casual rom-com. I'd prefer a proxy-documentary style, with louder natural sounds than music. And cut screentime, accelerate transitions, go to the strong points. 45 min episodes.
Now please make one such list for kdrama Female characters.............
Here is a list of REJECTED female characters:
https://mydramalist.com/8933-doctor-stranger Why would you prefer the creepy Seung Hee to the SFL played by Kang So-Ra? Seung Hee returns, untrusting, mysterious, threatening. Don't even trust the ML and at least say why she does that. While a new love story could be possible with Soo Hyun.
https://mydramalist.com/22126-love-alarm Jo Jo is unbearable, indecisive and unfaithful. She's hidden an important 5-year secret for nothing but her own selfishness. What's more, every moment spent with her is boring, talking about dull things. There's no fun to be had with her; she dreams of a tedious life à la Mrs Bovary.
https://mydramalist.com/32925-hotel-del-luna Man Wol is an unbearable woman to live with. The archetypal harpy, a repellent to men. Never happy, always angry. And it doesn't start well, as she kidnaps the ML right from the start. Life with her would be one endless argument after another.
https://mydramalist.com/30894-romance-is-a-bonus-book Dan Yi is an old, ugly and immature looser. Hidding in the ML's home like a giant spider, without he knows it. Why the young handsome ML would date her? I can't know, the character was enough to put me out of the drama, I've drop. (well, it was also a bit boring)
Plus, I wonder if there could be a plot-twist like: when he fall from the building and crash on the ground, he…
And we don't see it coming, even when it's in front of our eyes, with his photo on the ground. This drama is so good. But maybe it also foreshadow that someone else was killed after he falls.
Yeah first episode was probably the weakest but I'd still give that 8/10, It was mostly setting up the story and…
Hey, as we are about ep1. I noticed another good change. In the manhwa, the character is more trashy, and so, Ji Su breaks up with him. It's quite classic. He's a looser, no job, dirty appartement, etc. Of course, the logical conclusion is the girl goes away.
But the drama did that better in an unexpected way: he breaks-up, not her. It shows how deep is his malaise. And I find that even more relatable. When the feeling of self-depreciation is that high, that he can't even feel worthy to be with her.
Also, this idea set-up ep 4 in a different way. But it's difficult to say how because we didn't see the other way. At least, it makes her she doesn't confuse guilt and love too much. And she's on the track to come back to him, while it could be not like this, if she break up like in the manhwa.
The dialogues and scene transitions are excellent. And directing too. Here a detail: EPISODE 9 - 45:56. (aka ep 1 of season 2) She says "I survived to the 5 of you". Just when she's in coin-operated laundry store. And we see the machines number 1 to 5 ! (just she hides the number 4)

Hey, there is something I like so much in the drama and it's not in the manhwa: in a way, all his problems (and even his suicide) come from another guy who commited suicide. (the random guy in the street, ep1) He should have understood that suicide also make problems for others? But no, this guy is deadly stuborn! So, he needs Death for the lesson. lol.
It really makes you realize that your suicide indeed doesn't affect only you, but gives trauma to people around…
Plus, I wonder if there could be a plot-twist like: when he fall from the building and crash on the ground, he accidentally killed someone here by bad luck.

By the way, they could put real flies around her, but I'm worried she's less sexy with that. 😅
It's why he gets problems with Death now. ahah!
