I don't know where the idea that an open ending is the "safe" the route for a drama writer to take comes from. Especially for this drama. It's such an unfair assertion to make because your expectation wasn't met. If there's one thing we know about this writer, it's that she's not afraid to do justice to her characters. All of her dramas I've seen, the characters stay true to themselves and their journeys from start to finish.

And really (keeping it a buck) if she wanted to go for safe, she'd have given Gu and Mi Jung a "they lived happily ever after" ending which, if we're being honest, is what most of the disappointment is about. I wanted that too (and a steamy kiss). Alas.

There are tons, tons of dramas being made every year and I assure you the bulk of those dramas have closed endings. And it will continue to be so. Don't worry too much about people "supporting" open-ended drama. They probably just understand the place of and artistic license in storytelling. :)

Just, yes.

So far, average. Not really feeling what passes for comedy plus too many annoying/cringey characters. The premise is also nothing new but I'm curious to see where they take it.

Mainly watching for Yoon Kye Sang. Chocolate is one of my favourite romance dramas and I want to see what he does here.

Tae Yang needs to get all the way over herself. She's going to hurt a lot more people because of this guilt she's carrying. Is it the desperation for love that has her clinging to her relationship with Jun Young and wanting to be punished and absolved and forgiven so badly?

I think I'll chill till the drama ends and watch the remaining episodes at once.

And not filled with people trying to get the comments to one million with the most random one-liners. It's just a little weird to look for reactions to a show in the comments and there's these long strings of near-nothingness.

Meanwhile., I dropped this series mid-episode 1 but gave it another chance after I read an earlier comment you made. I loved the side characters so much. They all hit the comedy sweet spot. I hope the same team (writers, directors, etc) does something else soon.

I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with tbh because my intent is not to put blame on the character who needs to be protected. If that's how it comes across, then my bad for not being clear enough. My entire point is that the actor playing Lukchup is doing a good job.

And while I said I can't be annoyed at anyone for making decisions for him (and that's a personal take), I agree that they went overboard and treated him like he doesn't have agency in the name of being protective.

Nobody is prepared for being targeted. No matter how strong they are.

But, most people will struggle and need support but their family/friends will not go the extra mile of making decisions about/for them without their input. Look at the thing with the press release in the last episode. Keeping it in drama world, most of the characters who need to be taken care of like this come off as weak/helpless/cringey. Lukchup doesn't. Hence my point about how well the actor is playing the role. His sweetness/innocence is the focus rather than him coming across as helpless. I can't even be annoyed at anyone making decisions for him.

No matter what happens next weekend, this drama gets a solid 9.0 from me.

Ah. That's what it is. Does sound like fun. Guess I just have to scroll a lot more to find what I'm looking for then. :)

Hold on. Did I miss the scene where Jun Young absolved herself of all responsibility? She's angry and acting out (refusing to forgive and being unkind) but notice how she's not saying she hates TY because she convinced her to go drinking/snowboarding at night? Or for the accident? Any hoo, I'm sure the next few episodes will shine more light on JY.

A little confused about the comment section. Came to read comments about the special episode and it's like there's some challenge or something going on? What am I missing?

I understand Jun Young a little after ep 10. She's a spoilt brat but not a bad person. That "thank you" was a indeed a huge burden that made sure she couldn't come clean even if she wanted to. She couldn't talk to her parents (too afraid to disappoint them), her brother (terrible sibling relationship), or her boyfriend (wouldn't want to distract him from his games; also why I think she ghosted him which is still a total dick move).

I'm sure the latter episodes will give a clearer picture of what she had to deal with. (It's really annoying when I start to empathise with a character I totally want to hate. Ugh.)

Reading the comments and I get the feeling I'm going to get a lot more annoyed before I catch up. Good thing FF buttons exist.

Kind of getting over these drama plots with a lead who suffers because of some false accusation/misunderstanding and they just take it out of some weird ass feeling of guilt or whatever. That martyr complex is exhausting.

More annoying than interesting characters in this one but I'll keep watching out of some perverse need to see how it all works out. That and the male lead's smile.

I enjoy the family interactions way more than the romantic ones (save Hae Jun and Yoon Jae). It's why I keep watching. Mi Rae needs way more reassurance and attention than Hyun Jae can give. They should just break up and call it a day.

Before and after the basketball game, right? You aren't seeing things. lol

This was supposed to be a lighted-hearted drama but there's a soul-sucking evil spirit running around and knowing k-dramas that's enough ingredient to turn this dark and gloomy real fast.

I haven't laughed so hard at a drama scene as the scene of Gu chasing Chang Gee. Wearing the sneakers properly, the yelp, the friend riding his bike to give them water - pure comedy gold.

I love how the gang bits don't disrupt the flow of the drama. It fits perfectly.

Teared up a little at the scene of the liberation club meeting. HR lady's expressions were so heart wrenching.

I really hope Ki Jung's heart doesn't get broken. She won't be able to handle it.

Guess that's settled. Daughter approves. Sister can go suck lemons.
