Well, we all saw that break-up coming miles away...

Even tho I understand Mo Eun's despair, I felt her misery was partly "self-made". While I do agree that their relationship is not an easy one and she has to try harder than in any other relationship, at some point she painted everything utterly black! She felt that every little thing in their relationship was uncomfortable, frustrating and an inconvenience now. In the past she even found peace and comfort in the silence, but no... now everything is bad and negative.

"He can't hear me talking about cabbage while grocery shopping..." She agrees to listen to music, but then turns it off secretly anyway. She literally wallowed in her own despair, thoughts and longing for something else. She built a wall and didn't give them a chance to work around it.

She was unfair to him and not that better than Seo Kyung actually. While constantly saying with words that she is okay, she radiated with EVERY fiber of her body how unhappy she is because of his inability to hear.
And telling straight to his face that she dreamt of them talking to each other and how "comfortable" and "nice" it was. That was kinda cruel and just rubbing salt in his wounds. I just can't imagine how lonely and sad Jin Woo must have felt while she was suffering in silence and being dishonest with him. Especially her muttering to herself how "frustrating" it is, while they were lying in bed... That even pierced through my heart. Jin Woo must have felt worse.

No wonder, he broke up with her. He wanted to end her suffering as well as his. Even I as a viewer felt, how she was already done with their relationship. Maybe the misunderstanding with Jin Woo's ex was also just an excuse for Mo Eun to run away from this relationship, just like the fire was an excuse for Seo Kyeong back then. That's why Mo Eun didn't even try to confront him... she was also searching for an excuse to get out of the relationship and be entitled to feel miserable.

Oh man... Jin Woo deserves happiness!!! My heart aches for him. If I were Jin Woo, I could never open my heart for someone again. Not just once, but experiencing this twice would break me. I mean she was the one who approached him, pursuit him, despite him telling her several times, that it won't be easy. But no, she came like a bulldozer, run him over and then left him there...

Sorry, my heart just aches so much for Jin Woo right now, that I'm not able to sympathize with Mo Eun much right now. She knew that he was deaf and yeah, maybe she didn't realize what that meant in the past, but she knew it would be hard...I felt she didn't even try and got frustrated with the slightest inconvenience.
I actually can’t see them overcoming their differences. Mo Eun is clearly not able to cope being with someone with whom she can’t talk to.

First two episodes were really good! :D While the leads have visibly an age gap, I couldn't care less because both are slayin' their roles and do look good together. And I'm not even sure if this drama has romance as it's not listed in the genres. Lee Han Hee is just effortlessly funny in her roles and I love her acting like a weak maiden lol

Lee Jong Won is hot in historical attire and gosh... he's beautiful! I'm surprised he doesn't have more lead roles as he really has a strong aura and face characteristics. I've seen him in some support roles in the past, but I haven't seen his full acting scale yet, so I'm curious. So far he's doing really good. Also his voice is just a delight to listen to, especially in saeguk tone! He is made for Historical dramas. Hopefully we see him in more in the future.

Also Cho Yeo Hwa younger version looks so much like the adult one! They really casted a look-alike :D

The more scenes and edits I rewatch, the more I fall in love with Xiang Liu! I especially love the fight scenes. He just looks so ethereal and badass!!! Gosh, I love this character too much lol Would be so cool to have a spin-off of this nine-headed-demon. His past and how he joined Hong Jiang's army would be hella interesting!

Can someone recommend me dramas with a character that has similar vibes to Xiang Liu? The only one who comes to my mind is Tantai Jin from TTEOTM. Doesn't have to be male, I also love badass females like Ren Ru Yi of "A Journey to Love"!... Why do I always fall for tragic characters haha 😂

Me too! I also like that they didn't get together so fast, so the sparks are still there :D

ML has beautiful eyes!

The leads have some of the most beautiful smiles and teeth I've seen. Why does it feel like I'm watching a dentist ad commercial when I watch their happy scenes LOL

Where to watch this with eng subs? I can't find it anywhere T-T

Youtube randomly recommended me Xiao Yao x Xiang Liu fanmade videos again... And I'm in that vicious circle AGAIN. I can't get out of that algorithm lol Because the videos are too good and emotional.

And I just can get behind how iconic this couple is, even if they're not endgame. The angst and tension from this couple is so intense and really hard to achieve in a drama. I don't even know the last time I felt this kind of tension and angst for a drama couple.
They would be such a iconic slow-burn pairing... but the writer has different plans T-T
I wish for them to meet in another life to live happily-ever-after :')

Everyone complaining about ML... while I'm here for Jo Jung Suk lol
Yes, he's not your typical flower boy, but he's an amazing actor! I'm excited, because I haven't seen him in a melodrama for quite some time.

I'm more worried about Shin Sae Kyeong in the acting department. I didn't really like her in anything except "Run On". But she was so good in "Run On", that I think she improved a lot, so I'm looking forward to this drama.

Also there were too many rom-coms lately, so let's do meloooooo, yeah!

No, don't skip pls! It's not that heavy on the romance actually. Just give it a try and see for yourself if you like it :))

Given its main genre is Slice-of-Life. The ending is rather open and can't be put in HE or SE imo. Just like life is...
But I'd say it's a hopeful ending which ended for me on a good note :)

tbh I was sure that I won't like this. Because I didn't like "Perfect Marriage Revenge" and this seemed to have almost the same exact plot. I found it too cringe and makjang for me with the immense of evil and shameless characters.

But I still gave it a try, because I don't have anything else to do anyway lol And I'm pleasantly surprised that I do enjoy it a lot. First two episodes were good, but I wasn't sold yet, but ep 3 and 4 were really enjoyable and I'm excited for the next episodes!

I have to say that I really like the leads! I don't know why, but I think they make a good couple and have great chemistry. ML is not the typical rich, aloof dude, but actually an awkward and adorable green flag 💚

And even tho it's also pretty cliché, I enjoy those clichés here and get oldie Kdrama 2010s vibes :D

At this point I just feel bad for Jin Woo and wish the best for him! His disability hit him so hard all his life and now it's even clear that his first love broke up with him because of that reason and his current love struggles because of that as well...
I mean, that's exactly why he wasn't willing to open up to anyone nor fall in love again. I just can't imagine how he must feel. He's literally getting abandoned by almost everyone and it just breaks my heart. tbh I don't even know why Seo Kyeong told him that... I felt her "real" reason was even more cruel.

I do know that it's hard for Mo Eun as well, but I feel she's making it much harder for herself, because she is not willing to communicate her feelings or thoughts to him.
She got overly self-conscious and every time she feels the difference between them it seems to hit her too hard now and she's struggling inside. I think she is not ready to be in a relationship with him.
But also Jin Woo has to tell her how he feels. She was the assertive one, now it's your turn. Tell her that you love her with all you heart. Mo Eun is meant to hear those words, not Seo Kyeong lol Communication is important :D

So I believe it's inevitable that there is gonna be a break-up. But I would be pleasantly surprised if they do manage to overcome it without breaking up. It would be actually so refreshing to see a couple work things out! Pls writer, break the Kdrama formula! XD

Let's be honest... even in a relationship without physical difference, people have to communicate, make sacrifices and make it work, so their relationship can overcome hardships and continue. I don't see a break-up and time jump to solve their problems magically. Actually the opposite. You have to be in that relationship and try to overcome the differences together.

I bet he will be the one to break up with her, because he sees that she's not happy anymore and he will think that everyone will want to run away from him.

I love that they brought Jin Woo's past plot-line into it. I hope he will be able to heal at least one of his past scars and know that he was indeed loved by his birth mom!

Overall, this dramas is still 10/10 for me! Best Kdrama I've seen in a long time. Scared, but also excited for the finale next week ❤️

I would have loved to see the memory of homeless man :(

This was really so good! I actually loved all episodes and was never bored or thought the writing was off. The cast was splendid and I loved everyone! The acting was just phenomenal!!!! These actors are not just big names, but actual freaking good at acting! Every life was intriguing and exciting to watch, even if they had just 10 minutes of screen time lol

I agree, the message is quite controversial and I don't agree with everything which was conveyed, but I won't dig too deep into it. After all it's a drama and I took it merely as entertainment and not as life guidance.
But it is indeed triggering to people who suffer from depression or any kind of illness/experience which make them consider suicide, or family/friends who lost people due to suicide.
I would never recommend this drama to such people, therefore would prefer to have a suicide or warning tag at least as it can be really triggering to some.

Thank you for the examples!!! Now I know which genres of these I actually prefer 😄
I guess that I like Wuxia and Xuanhuan more, because I rarely liked Xianxia except TTEOTM. Maybe because the fights there weren't so much flying and floating and a big part played in the mortal world there 😂
Wish there were more Xuanhuan dramas out there. I like the fantastic elements in mortal worlds and martial arts without flying&floating.

Just got ready to binge-watch the last episodes. Got comfortable, dimmed the light, got me some food and then by the first 6 minutes in episode 5, I lost my appetite LOL

So I just finished ep 1 and had to come here, because I thought I was delusional, because I also felt that the acting of everyone was bad or bland somehow... Even tho I started this because I absolutely love Park Jihoon's acting. Be it in WHC1 or AaDSiG. He was phenomenal in both, so I was so surprised I felt that way.

The fight scenes looked lame as well... and even tho the ending of ep 1 was kind of a cliffhanger, I don't feel the urge to start ep 2 >_<

Maybe I'll put it on hold and come back after more episodes are out. but still I felt so underwhelmed. It's sad, because the story actually sounds so exciting...

Thank you for the explanation! 😊 I guess I have to watch more Xianxia to fully understand the difference :D

Meet Yourself ❤️
