Lol. With greys.

I guess since everyone hates this drama it's okay to not put spoilers behind spoiler tags. smh

Yes to age-appropriate cast. I think it's one of the reasons I like this so much.

You'll have to watch ep 8 for the answer :)

Given the leads' unique situations, the break-up (even though we understand it's a device to move the plot forward) is plausible. If they communicate any better than they already are, we'll be left with no drama in a drama. Let's see how quickly they clear up the current misunderstanding in the next episode.

I'm not really enjoying any of the support characters. The ones that should be likable are just so irritating. Then there's the spoilt brat. Ugh.

Adapt (verb): alter (a text) to make it suitable for filming, broadcasting, or the stage. The key word is "alter". It does not have to follow the source material religiously. (I'm probably like a broken record repeating this every time there's a drama adaptation of a webtoon or novel.)

LMAO. Dude just yelled, "Why are you so hard to get?" as if she hasn't told him the reason for her decision 12,646,848 times. Ech.

Wish I was watching this when it aired just for the discussion.

I know the leads will probably end up together but so far the male lead is a bloody self-centred jerk. The romanticisation of persistence in the face of rejection has my blood boiling. You can see she's going through a hard time and all you can think is "Oh yeah, she needs to get into a relationship with me even though my mother and grandpa could ruin her and her family for it" all the while being condescending about her choices, even though said choices make her happy but you're convinced she can't be happy without you.

Howling with laughter because I just read a comment somewhere saying there were too many happy endings and it's unrealistic. You can't win with viewers which is why writers should just write what they want to write and what feels true to their story.

I don't think I've seen a more satisfactory finale to a drama in a long time. There was sadness but there was also joy. Even found myself chuckling at some of the scenes between Dong Seok and his mum.

I like that they showed us the mum's background without laying it on too thick and forcing a redemption arc, but still found a way to give Dong Seok some closure. I'm not mad that the mum didn't apologise. It'd have been out of character for her. She was selfish to the end. She was also loved and adored. Such binaries exist and I'm glad the writers expressed them so eloquently.

Dong seok has so much pent-up anger it's a wonder he hasn't done something drastic. Feel so sad for the boy he was and the man he became. Just hope he can find some peace after his mother dies.

Starting off with a 10 rating just because of how happy ep 1 made me. Didn't realise how much I missed Yumi's cells. They're still as cute as ever. Jinyoung is so charming as a romance male lead. And Go Eun, my priceless love, is still the embodiment of Yumi. Will probably be difficult for me to bring any objectivity to this drama so I'm going into full fangirl mode.

There's no "I did it for your sake" reason the writers come up with that'll take away the fact that a mother pretty much ruined her son's life. Hate is difficult to live with, and he's had to live with it pretty much his entire life. Plus not being able to settle with any woman because you see your mother in her. Does she look at him and think, "Yes, this is the life I wanted for you when I assaulted you and put you in the path of abuse and did not lift a finger to help"?

I am curious though about why she decided to become a concubine. She's a haenyeo so it's not like she could not provide for her son. The village is close-knit. I doubt they'd have let them starve. Let's see what the final episodes hold.

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.
