They should just have scrapped his role from the season completely and given a great reason. I genuinely don’t want to see some other actor playing “reunited son and father”. I just feels so wrong

100% omg
I’m so pissed because what do they mean military enlistment? It was such a big hit that I can’t imagine that they could not have gotten his enlistment pushed to fit the schedule. I’m quite offended by this choice. His performance of Bongseok is so specific. I can’t imagine that someone else will be able to pull it off. I feel like I’ll just be pissed the whole time I have to watch them call someone else Bongseok, except the new actor is somehow even more or just as spectacular, which I seriously doubt. I’m already pissed just thinking about it

The idea of bigger stars even pisses me off here because bigger stars didn’t give this show its star power. I’m sure they could’ve figured something else out. I guess I just feel sorry for the original actor who brought such a fantastic performance to the show. I guess I’ll just have to see if the kids play a main role this time or not, but I feel that they probably do considering the direction of the story

So so disappointed after finding out that the actor for Bongseok was changed for season 2. I don’t really want to see a different bongseok, and his acting style for this character was really specific. It’ll be like watching a totally different character. I wish they would’ve waited or found another way. The scheduling really was tight but im still I’m super miffed

Excited!

yeah, I just saw! That’s crazy and really disappointing

oh my gosh! They replaced the main ML? What sort of joke is that?

That’s very true, but they could have made him a bit more complex at Lea ast. He should at least be a gray character. I think Lighter and Princess ML is fantastic evidence that it can be done.They could have, but they probably wanted more people to watch it than if they did that. LP had people really divided but that’s also what makes it one of the stand outs. I personally enjoyed LP and the messiness of the ML there because there are consequences of trauma and they oftentimes don’t jut go away.

Hmm, I'm not sure how great I feel about it. It's a good enough story and well enough done, but I guess I feel that I've seen better. I think the pacing could be better and possibly tighter. The story is pretty interesting. I enjoyed watching them, but didn't care enough for the side stories. It's like a building that was built well, but not particularly a flashy building. Good enough for passing time if you're looking for something easy. Their chemistry is definitely a key part of the story, and the overall acting was good. So, worth watching, but nothing very special.

I was in fact, not aware lol

Loved that one sm! preferred the pacing there

bruh I’m so confused😭 why would he have to stay single for all these years to prove a point of it being the perfect love story? I mean, feelings and situations are complicated. I don’t see why them dating other people would “ruin” the situation. it’s not like they thought at the time that they’d ever meet each other again. I don’t think characters need to be perfect in their actions at all for a story to still show love

omg it started? my familyyyyy!!!

I actually really enjoyed the changes they made to the characters. Making her older, more mature and grounded, and making him younger to match her bit more was actually such a great idea. I really love her much more grounded and mature character in the show, and the small moments youthful boyishness you can sometimes see in the ml in the show too. I feel that it levelled the playing ground for their relationship a bit more and reduced the extremity of the power dynamic between them. Imo, it made for an overall, much more enjoyable, and slightly more realistic relationship to watch play out.

omg yes. Xu Kai got the character down to a T! So crazy cold on the outside and when he’s got to do what he’s got to do, but so much softer when it matters. The difference between what he’s like when he’s with her and in her pov vs when he’s doing any other business thing is actually impressively surprising

not over these two aaaaaa

this is hilarious😂

I didn’t like the first 1-4 episodes, but after that, the show starts, and once the show starts, the show starts.
I just finished it, and I already miss them all. Insane chemistry. Actually insane. The way they look at each other, smile at each other, and the body language is so natural that I was tempted to Google if they were dating while they filmed this (I didn't). Their chemistry literally holds up the roof over their heads, and at many points, the show’s head. Their sneaked glances at each other, the compromises they made… so realistic, really. It was like when two people really like each other, and there are differences, but they really just want it to work. A small thing, I love how he drives her to work even if he doesn’t need to, because quality time, you know?

I hated the way he talked at the start, gosh. I thought it would never end. But it did! Hallelujah! Thank God for change. I thought I would drop it over that, but with this show, patience really pays off. I loved the side of her he brought out; it was mischievous, slightly stubborn and playful, and I liked that it was quite different from how she was in her first relationship, because different people bring out different parts of you.

Anyway, Xing Xing is just so so so breathtakingly beautiful, his fixation is totally valid lol. She’s FOINNNEE damn. She'd smile, and I’d see him thinking damn, she’s so fine, and I’d be like damn right she is!!!!!! It’s just insane how beautiful she is.

Enjoyable and easy watch about relationships mixed with work issues. Exactly the sort of show I love to watch. At the end of the show, it feels like you’ve gone through a lot with these guys. A whole life with them. I really liked how, after they'd spent some time together, you could see how much they'd changed. Her more than him because of the subject matter. She'd go around sounding like a mini him about business deals. He always looked amused and proud. His amusement seemed mischievous, so it was really particularly funny. He also became so much warmer; it was so nice!

The writing is good. There's sufficient character development that explains why and how things move forward the way they do, and the actors delivered this spectacularly, the mains expecially (as their part is so big here). Han Ting and Xing Xing are legitimately real people in this performance. Xu Kai really did great with emoting his eyes here. The character doesn't always say what he's thinking, but also isn't always trying to hide what he's thinking and sometimes is, and he really does it so well here. I've never seen Song Yun miss. She's fantastic as usual. There are a few amazing shots of them observing each other that I really appreciated. They just last a few seconds each, and I feel that these shots just hold the moments so well. The shots showed confusion, uncertainty, happy disbelief, awe, appreciation, pensiveness, quiet joy, quiet support, worry, hope, mischief, contentment, peace with their choices ... I really felt that those shots allowed us to put ourselves in their shoes for a moment and watch how two separate lives slowly became quite intertwined. Of course, those shots wouldn't feel so great without great acting on the characters' parts. Their eyes said all these things. The angle of the shots just elevated that.

The end really is satisfying and worth the wait. Anyway, I’ll miss my beautiful babe, because I don’t know if Han Ting knows, but we were in this relationship together 😂

Didn’t actually watch this but love the novel soo much omg. Was going to watch it when I found out it had a novel. Sometimes I just remember the characters. I come here from time to time when I remember it.

okay, that's encouraging
