I wanna applaud people in this comment section for being so active and also for making it easier for me to watch the episode.

I watch for a few minutes, get annoyed with it, come here and see that everyone else is annoyed.
It's just such a great Saturday for dramas :))))))))

I enjoyed reading this :))))) thank you

The actor playing NDS should be annoyed too because he absolutely nailed his role. He's very, very good. If I were him, I'd be annoyed as hell.
Also, I believe all of us talking here, on this forum, are reasonable people, very well aware of the fact that these characters are not real, and we are just debating choices made in the plot, scenes, etc/ Whomever gives death threats for this, is probably very, very, and I mean VERY stupid. And at the same time, unaware of the fact that he/she is committing a crime.

Don't be naive. Leave that to me, since I am the queen of naive :)))
Writers are probably thinking "We'll show them the ending half way through. Bet they won't see that coming from a drama". Oh yes we did, on all the ones we dropped. :)))
You are expecting me to think the same people who made the poster, telling us from the very beginning who win's the love triangle, are gonna pull an unexpected card here? I believe it. Told ya, queen of naive. :))

Yup, and truth be told, you can't really be faithful to all the desires you had as a child. So it's ok if she changed her mind, she spent more time with NDS etc etc. very predictable and well, believable.
But all that is just TOO DULL. I mean, you cam literally see these kind of stories written at the subway on the walls. It doesn't get deeper than that. HPJ on the other hand, did have a special story, so that made it interesting. It's as if someone brings a real good dancer to a contest, just to let him watch. Jizaz.

The only issue I have is that NDS's character is dull and annoying as f.

I agree with you the actor playing him is indeed a very good one, he absolutely nailed his nerdy role. I kind of hate him as much as I hated Joffrey in Game of thrones right now :)))))

And as I also said in other comments, you must truly suck as a director if you see from the script that the second lead has a far more interesting background than the main lead, and yet you don't think "hey, I need to cast an ugly, annoying and untalented man to play the second lead, otherwise it will make my main lead look like crap."...

We all need to accept that the kind of drama we want, isn't out there yet. This had great potential and it turns out, it's nothing more than your regular love triangle.

Because I feel stupid, and therefore believe your comment is towards my kind, I'll try an answer here: I expected a different approach after casting an actor with a better charisma than the main lead. :)))

I'm actually annoyed with myself :)) I knew this will happen, yet I hoped writers are smarter than this and that somehow they will try to pull something different with this series.

Wanna know something even worse ?
I still have hope :)))

P.S - we are all talking about the love triangle because apparently writers thought this is the main plot. Should be called "Start loving a new guy rather than the one you thought you loved".
The series is not about business plans or success, it's all about a crybaby who made bad choices and that is now trying to make the female lead make a bad choice as well.
Someone thought it's a good idea to create a character that it built up to inevitably say no more than "Hi, I'm kind of pitiful and I think the world owes me something. I lied to get a medal, lied to get a girl, etc etc, please be sorry for me. I suck as a character, but I'll be played by a handsome young man that will, hopefully, make you like me a bit".

Agreed.
I mean: "You fell asleep. In someone else's car." was, in my opinion, a lot more intimate and than that kiss we saw between the main leads :)))

Stop fighting. NDS gets the girl.
HPJ gets the fans. :))

Kim Seon Ho has the right idea here. Let the main lead get the girl, while you, second lead, get the fans. Eh?

Am I the only one laughing my ass off when she says "I like your hands" ... because I kinda want her to add "you used these hands to write letters to me" ....
*BA DUM TSS*

Oh yes, hell is full of people like me.

Same here.
Now, let's hope no one dies, because I gotta say that's a whole different club on a whole new level. If I'm ever one of those poor bastards that saw a beloved character die, I'm done watching airing drams. This one and Stranger 2 where the first ongoing dramas i saw. Tale of 9 tailed does not count because I dropped that. That one looks as if the writers took Sesshoumaru right out of my childhood and decided to ruin it.

If I weren't watching this show along with everyone else, I'd probably check out the kisses after the show ends (cause I do that, damn... I hate myself, but I do that, otherwise I'd be wasting my time on a drama and when the kiss finally happens it's just two dead fish awkwardly surprised. Frustration is so bad that I drop it) The thing here is that even if the kiss was not about two dead fish, it still wouldn't make me want to watch it. It looked like 3 seasons happened before that scene. Too overplayed, too happy, just... let's make em kiss to kill of that nagging SLS syndrome. Well congrats, it now looks as if grandma and HJP are the main leads. The young promising couple can have a kid in ep 8, not interesting anymore. :))

Exactly :))
And I'm kind still watching this show because if I weren't, and I would just do as I always do, which is to check out the ending of the story to see if it's worth my time, this show won't make it to my list. I'd see too many disappointed people talking about SLS and wouldn't watch it. Now I'll just get the disappointment at the same time with everyone else. Oh goodie, ya...y. :))

I'm still hoping for some kind of plot twist... like.. I donno, writers laughing their ass off going all: haha, got you all. i made the poster like that ON PURPOSE.

*sigh* not gonna happen... damn.

I sadly think the moral of the story is the following:
You know how she says she never regrets her choice? Her choice was made 15 years ago, and she'll probably change that (for some stupid cliche reason) but it's ok to take a different path than the one you think you have to... etc ...

*rollin' my eyes so deep adele can sing about it*

On the other side of things, I'm gonna watch "you drive me crazy" again, just to get some closure. :))))))))

Hey, writers of this drama, are you checking out our comments out of curiosity? What's that? Yes, I see the poster. No I don't care :))))

I can already see the final episode scene:

Ji Pyung and the grandmother smiling and looking at Dal Mi and Do San as they walk together, thinking that their plan somehow unfolded into this great love and friendship story. Then the sister shows up, equally happy for her sister and suggesting Ji Pyung and her should go grab a bite or a drink or whatnot leading us to think they might get involved at some point.

Yet I'm still watching because I hope to be wrong :)))
