Granted, the news of the SML's new 'relationship' didn't come out the next day but it was no more than a couple…
Oooh! What you've described makes SO much more sense! So much! I would have greatly preferred if they'd stuck to that original storyline. I'm so glad you shared! Thank you!

LOL! It's okay! You're doing great with your English!
Luckily in this one she makes it clear at all times that the ML is the only person in her heart and she always puts him first. But she just wants the best of both worlds and it frustrates me. This wasn't just a little crush that she realized the SML had. She found out he literally changed his career path and moved out of the country to follow her. That's not something you take lightly. So continuing to ignore how strongly he felt for her was just infuriating to watch. She needed to cut him off firmly. She would reject him, yes, and she'd tell him to keep his distance but then she'd immediately accept whatever excuses he gave to get close to her again.
The ML tried pulling that whole self-sacrificing love type of crap where he thought he push her away to be with the SML because he thought he himself wouldn't be able to give her a future. I have to give the FL points for the fact that she wasn't letting that happen. So while she did a really bad job of handling the situation with the SML, she did a great job of making it clear to the ML and everyone around them that the ML was the endgame for her. It was him and no one else.
I just wish they would write it in a drama that a ML opens his damn mouth and tells the FL point blank that the SML is still very much in love with her and she needs to handle that shit properly and not expect him to just pretend like he doesn't know the man wants steal his woman. Know what I mean?

Yes, and no. It's a bit more complicated. She genuinely only sees the SML as a friend and the ML knows that and knows how important the friendship between her and the 2 other guys is so he doesn't want to come between that but I also agree he's a damn simp.
She eventually has to put her foot down with the SML for a third time and he finally starts to move on but that doesn't happen until like ep 29 or something like that.
They just drag it out too much and the ML not saying anything about what he sees from the SML's behavior is a turnoff for me. Her constantly wanting to go back to just being friends with the SML like nothing ever happened is also a huge turnoff for me. That's my issue. She rejects him then thinks they can just move on like it was nothing big. Any excuse he gives to make it seem like he's moved on she blindly accepts as true because she wants to keep his friendship. It's selfish.
I'm trying to explain without giving too many spoilers. Sorry if it's confusing.
poor buddy :( I KNOW those symptoms for the past 50 years. Firstly, they need to understand and not treat him…
In a country where suicide is out of control the man has been fighting desperately to stay alive and is now being punished for it. Great message they're sending, right? I feel so badly for him.
Subs were good enough for me to at least be able to finish it and really, really like the drama. It seems to be the complete story. I don't see how there could be more to it either before or after either. They show them even years into their marriage later on so I'm guessing it's a compilation of both seasons.
This one caught me off-guard. The storyline was fresh and new for me in many ways and made it really enjoyable. The acting was really good too. Surprisingly so for a mini-drama.
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Not at all. I was just looking for something to past some time but this actually impressed me.
I have always wondered why they dub voices. Can anyone explain this?
Based on my understanding it started mainly for China's censorship purposes - it's cheaper to dub over lines than reshoot entire scenes - then took on a life of its own from there where dubbing has it's own stream of famous voice actors and actresses. The amount of changes they have to make after going through censorship review can seriously be unreal. It's more cost effective to dub. Even if they use the real actor's voices (which often isn't the case) they'll still use voice overs throughout.
That's based on my limited knowledge though.
Someone more informed please feel free to correct me and/or elaborate.
That was lovely, not quite what I expected but it wasn't bad, I kinda thought she did friend-zoned him for a meaningful…
I was on the fence about adding this to my PTW list because I wondered if it would be a case where she genuinely never had feelings for him or, like you said, legitimately had a reason for friend-zoning him but then they made them end up getting together in the end. I actually wouldn't like them ending up together in either of those scenarios. It's too much like the SML's in any other drama winning the girl because of his persistence and a FL choosing the SML because of how well he loved her but not because of any actual real feelings she had for him.
Your comment definitely helped clear that up - thank you! - although I know it wasn't your intent. LOL! However, you deserve major kudos for your VERY valid points! Why is that (fear of what could go wrong) always the only reason drama writers can ever come up with for someone friend-zoning another? It's so not true!
Honestly, it doesn't even have to be complicated! I've met many guys with whom I had great chemistry right away and mutual attraction, but quickly realized they weren't someone I'd ever actually date or want to be in a relationship with so into the friend-zone they went. Some you lose touch with. Others end up becoming great lifelong friends. It happens. So I agree with you wholeheartedly.
i liked the movie but they shouldn't have gotten together
I have a question. Is this a situation where the girl always had feelings for him too but never wanted to cross the line for fear of ruining their relationship? Or is it one where she never had feelings for him and only saw him as a friend but after realizing how he's always been there for her and how much he loves her she chooses to be with him in the end?
I'm asking before I start because I have a big issue with one of those scenarios and the message it sends and don't want to start if that's where the story ends up.
Watching this a second time really isn't working out for me. I can't push my way through all the stuff I don't like. Like that other reporter with zero morals. How are you a journalist when you're so despicable that you'd rather help a dirty businessman who has literally caused a man to die than see the FL succeed in reporting him? She preferred to put the FL's life in danger (knowingly, since she knew what kind of man he was) and let him get away with his crimes than to simply choose another battle to fight with the FL. Like, really? Then watching the dumb ass intern continue to just blab. I just can't with this show.
I know how much I enjoyed watching this the first time around but this second time...I'm seriously struggling to make it past ep 16. If my recollection is correct I need to make to somewhere past ep 20 to really start enjoying this again but getting there is proving to be rather challenging.
