Ji-hwan chased her fiancé away. But he hasn’t interfered with her relationship with the ML

Their meet-ups are clearly not accidental. Someone/something is bringing them together purposely.

Could be, although it seems a bit it seems a bit too obvious at this point. Eventually we will find out who was involved in that yachting accident - plenty of potential candidates.

Episode 4 Sneak Peak.

The character is Ji-hwan, so likely the brother. Ji-hwan is the ghost that attacked yeo-ri's fiancée in the elevator. He is in his "early 20's" I read somewhere that he is a water spirit/ghost.

Putting the pieces together from the official sites:

Cheon Yeo-ri's age is "around 30". Her "curse" began around 10 years ago after a "tragic yacht accident".

ML and Mi-hwan are also "around 30"

Wouldn't be surprised if: (1) ML was somehow connected to the yacht incident (2) Ji-hwan is somehow bringing the two together so that they can work together to find out who/what caused the accident and (3) bring the unknown culprit to justice.

I hope this drama doesn't go down the path of "My Royal Nemesis" which began as funny, a bit of fantasy, and great chemistry between the leads. . . .only to falter at the end with inexplicable plot holes/twists.

Two sneak peeks (including pretty good translation)

The two dramas you mentioned did not have romance tags. This drama is quite different. The focus is on the couple, not a "ghost of the week" format.

For some reason, "fate" (the spirits? a water dragon? shamans?) are determined to bring these two together to accomplish.. . . . something. That's why "it" chased the former fiance away. It's why their paths continue to cross. Hopefully the writer delivers a plot that makes sense in the end.

Yes, I'm getting Queen of Tears vibes already (as children, the ML rescued the FL) but they didn't discover until much later in life. The viewer had the clues though so it wasn't a big makjang (unexpected) moment.

Apparently her "curse" began as a result of accident while yachting but not clear when it happened. Have they said if she was a child or older?

I agree. I dropped Vincenzo but this drama has its own separate charm

I watched the first handful of episodes. Had the misfortune to end up in the hosptal for a few days and when I was able to watch kdramas again. . . .it wasn't this one. Guess I'm dropping it because there is no real "plot" (conflict/resolution). For those viewers who want pure romance, I think this one is for them. 😊

Wedding scene in Queen of Tears as well.

someone else helped me out with that. Go to calendar and then select "My List". It will present only those dramas you have on your watchlist.

It's a side=plot, not the main focus.

I'm surprised more MDL viewers aren't commenting on this drama. 95% is fun and light-hearted (and I FF thru scenes with the villain because I don't need know the ugly details to understand that he evil and will likely end up as shark bait or something). I'm wondering if the police characters are as corrupt as they appear or they are trying to infiltrate the One Club.

I like romantic comedies but I'm glad the focus is on the "family" rather than "the couple" and if it ends with them agreeing to start dating, I'm good. Ji Sung hasn't done a real romance in years and he definitely avoids any closeup shots of kissing.

Here's the pre-release for Ep. 4 and it's for the pro-romance folks. 😍

I think Ho ran is still alive (altho ju ramen may not know). Since a Season 2 is possible, I think they certain things open, altho it would be difficult to bring Palho back.

I agree that the scene with the bullets was awesome 😎

I enjoyed this drama at the beginning because it was funny and im ji-yeon did a great job reflecting the fish-out-of-water story. But…..Iirc, I watched some of Ep 13, but never bothered with the final. I watch mainly for plot/writing and great acting or “chemistry” isn’t enough to make up for significant plot holes.

I loved it. One of my all-time favorites. The writer originally planned it for 16 episodes but directed to shrink it to 12 and it was clear at the end that a Season 2 is planned (altho THAT decision remains with the network JTBC that is unfortunately in the middle of bankruptcy proceedings). There were a couple of unresolved questions (presumably left for Season 2), but there were no plot holes and the plot twists were not at some unexplainable fantasy level.

It's a fake wedding and it's part of a larger scam. Romance might come near the end, but no indication thus far.

Not a plot (country romance) that normally interests me and I really don't like dramas where all episodes are dropped at once, but. . . . . heaven sake, that cast list is full of favorite veteran actors that I'll give it a try. Now on my watchlist.

MDL ratings are meaningless!!! Honestly. . . they are meaningless!

Meanwhile, The Apartment Job is already matching the "1st weekend" ratings of The Reborn Rookie that ended (final episode) as one of the highest rated kdramas in the past several years.

I repeat: MDL ratings are meaningless. I'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming Netflix ratings. As in WORLDWIDE views which DWARF MDL "views".

Just sayin' lol.
