a light drama to watch

I just finished watching this drama. Its a nice, easy and light drama to watch. It does have all the ingredients any drama has. I watched it on Netflix and I was a little bit disappointed with the fact that they used voices over instead of closed captions. In my opinion a lot of the beauty of the movie was shadowed because of it. I have watched quite a bit of cdramas. kdramas, jdramas, tdramas and I not only got used to hear the actors voices, but even more to hear the original language which gives the movie a different depth. It feels more profound. Listening to the voices over it really took away a lot for me. Some of the more sentimental scenes lost their beauty because the voices over. The voices didn't matched with the actors and they felt cold and blank at times with no nuance in them. As for the characters at first I had a little bit of mixed feelings but I have to say I am a sucker for happy endings and that is why I would like to see JoJo and Son-oh end up together. I know a lot of the comments here were criticizing Sun-oh but I can see where he was coming from. The first night he came back and he saw her I think he either had a crush at first site or he felt infatuated with her. Either way after seeing her at school every day his feeling only grew stronger. I don't think he really went behind his friend back since before he did any move he kept asking Hye-yeong if he has feelings for Jojo and Hye-yeong kept saying no. Where he didn't play full honesty was where he did declare his feelings for her first and not at the same time with Hye-yeong as agreed upon. But at the time he declared his feelings to Jojo, her heart belonged to him so Hye-yeong didn't had any chance. Hye-yeong lost his time. He had two years before Sun-oh came back to say something to her but he choose not to. I don't know why but I don't see Jojo and Hye-yeong together. I can even understand why he told Hye-yeong that he used him and all the hurtful things. All those things that he said were coming from a man hurt in love, a man that is still in love with that person. A man that is frustrated and angry and says things at anger but he didn't really meant it. Any way I am afraid that in season 2 the producers are gonna shock everybody and like a lot of this dramas the results are not gonna be what a big number of viewers are expecting which is of course Jojo and Sun-oh together. I am waiting for the release of season 2 and I hope that Netflix will not use the voice over but they will use the closed captions and I really hope to see Jojo and Sun-oh together. It will be disappointing to let us see how the love between the two of them grew so strong just to hit us in season 2 with them not ending up together. Four years had past and they couldn't forget about each other. He still rings her love alarm and her heart is still beating pretty fast I am sure. So don't disappoint us and separate these two in season 2. Go team Jojo and Sun-oh. I have a bad feeling I'm not gonna see them together. I will wait.
