Oh no! I haven't seen ep4 yet, but I had very high hopes from Ep2. Just based on the conversation in the gym, between the ML and his best friend - to "...see it from a woman's perspective". I'm going to keep watching in the hope they address what you've raised further on!!

Actually, I agree that it was deserved...I find how much I empathise with him, to be harrowing. And even though I know there's a happy ending, it still hits me. Every time

This is one of my favourite Kdramas of all time. IMO it is WELL worth watching. But as a warning; it is a slow pace compared with most KDramas and there is NO romance. It does have a very satisfying ending and the cast line-up is stellar! It is fundamentally about relationships but not romantic ones...
[There is a whole fan and discussion group who want it to be romantic but IMO they're completely missing the point...when will viewers accept that males and females can be friends!?!]

Rewatching for the first time....I love this so much, I haven't needed to rewatch until now!

It's great to see Joon Sun doing so well with a Gangster speaking part in "Shadow Detective" teehee 😁

Akage Girl, again you make me giggle. "His forehead..." 😁😆😅🥰
Searching for "Word of Honour" now...

I can't get this in my region yet 😩 but I fully trust your rec's! And you make it sound SO worthwhile. I feel like the way shows handle red herrings, is the only mystery left in "Mysteries" these days (I'm so jaded).
It'll have to wait for now, on my PTW list ...

I feel.like this should be called "Great Expectations"...Estella and Mrs Havisham.

Only watched 4 eps so far. And yes I am taking this far too seriously!! But for crying out loud, he obviously should be a multi-eventer (decathlon) not just a high jump specialist. It's making me doubt the capabilities of all of the coaches!

"My Fated Boy." Cheesy title, but it's ....*chef's kiss*

Also watching him train and compete, he definitely looks like a real athlete.
My absolute pet hate is watching actors run, who CAN NOT run! 😳 😂
(Sorry I keep using absolute...)

I grew up in this world (Athletics/Track and Field) and whilst I agree with you that he's over the top, I think it's ABSOLUTELY realistic. To me he's playing a VERY recognisable character. That 'cockiness' is spot on - Athletics is filled to the brim with this kind of personality. I think; to be an elite athlete, being a 'performer' is as necessary as being hyper-competitive. Natural talent (e.g. his lack of height) is the least necessary element.

No other reason required

I'm waiting too!!

I agree, she didn't need him! But that scene was a setup to makes him seem sinister IMO.

I LOVE this cast! Jung Ryeo Won and Lee Kyu Hyung, are THE BEST at stone-faced irony (i.e. you can feel them rolling their eyes without them needing to roll their eyes). The first 3 eps are good, but I have confidence there is A LOT more to come, just based on the cast alone.

Keeping myself very restrained here to avoid reading any comments/spoilers but just wanted to say, the support cast is out of the park!
Just 2 examples...Park Bo Kyun is turning out to be a very convincing creepy minion. And OMG Nam Ki Ae, in her brief moment in Ep 7...just *chef's kiss*

It's just too sweet

My thoughts out loud:
I wonder if it's the same cat as from "Meow My Secret Boy"🤔
...Jamie might turn into L 🤩
That would be too meta 😂

With the sheer number of stupid misunderstandings & 'wrong place wrong person' moments in this, I feel I should be assuming the main couple are NOT 'fated' to be together. But I keep watching...*rolling my eyes at myself*
