So, 77 episodes in, and we're finally at the whole premise of the series. Despite my disappointment, Monday's episode should be interesting. Also, what happens when ES learns that HY is the woman that's broken her brother's heart? Maybe ES's temper will get the better of her? This should happen in 2 weeks, I'd guess.

This would have made a good candidate for a 50-episode show. A daily 120-episode layout doesn't work for a concept that's so thin.

That's what threw me too. SW is EH's "nemisis" of sorts, or at least contender for HY's heart. I can only assume the shock of seeing ES there > shock of seeing SW. There should have been an "And you....." moment.
But still, they need to address that on Monday.

The writer for this show is credited here as "Moon Young Hoon", with 2 other shows credited to him/her:

Here's a quote from a review here from MDL member "ParkMin" of this writer's previous work (2016's My Mind's Flower Rain - 7.3 MDL rating):
"It's unbelievable how insufferable and stupid these characters are. The writer of the show does the laziest trick to prolong the series by re-skinning the exact set of events every 15 episodes or so."

The following year the writer got another series produced (2017's Dal Soon's Spring - with a VERRRY familiar-looking cast). It had an even lower MDL rating: 7.2. It didn't even get anyone with enough interest to write a review! Check the last two comment's on its MDL page here....you'll get the picture.

So, his 7.5 rating at this point is a definite step up! LOL

Most-often said quote at the daily writers meeting: "The audience won't know the difference".

Their disregard/disrespect for us is terrible.

What a great show. Whoever did the casting for the supporting cast was a genius.
Would love to see a mini-series season 2, just to see their married life with kids.

She was so sweet, cute and professional in her presentation, it was beyond belief. My heart leapt when they both came out to present.

Listen carefully to his speech. It's rather long.

I can honestly say, I've given up caring. The only character I'm vested in (or can identify with) at this point is EH. Everyone else is just too flawed to give-a-darn about. For the first time, I've FF thru the ES/SW scenes, as they seem irrelevant now.

It may take a while, this show is frustrating beyond belief.

What amazed me, was that in that one presentation, we saw the child actors from all 4 dailies: BML (HimChan), TLIYE (MiRinae), AOME (JanDi), and UP (GaRam).

In his acceptance speech for best male lead, he said she still calls him 'Dad'

Not again! Come on, Producers, make him the lead.

For all you GaRam fans, the 2023 KBS Awards (subbed) is now on Dramacool in 2 parts. He appears in Part1 of the show, about 5 mins in. He presents the Young Actor & Actress award, with, none other, than the little girl who portrayed MiRinAe in The Love in Your Eyes. Be prepared, the cuteness level is sky-high between the 2 of them, and they were great. (side note to those who loved Bravo, MyLife, the little boy who played HimChan was one of the nominees for Best Actor, but did not win).

I was wondering last night: Have HY & EA ever met? Do they know each other?

As I recall from a movie years ago: "Love is Blind...it's also Deaf, Dumb, and stupid".

Well, he still loves her. He's in the denial phase now...I suspect he'll stick to it until whatever happens where they are reunited, especially if it's due to traumatic situation(s). And notice he didn't say "those feelings I had are gone now"...He just said he hurts too much to go on.

I really wanted him to call her out. But he cares for her too much to embarrass her in public by calling out her lie. I was disappointed, but I get it.

Are the email notifications that you got a response not working? I am not getting notifications today.

Agreed, BT. I figured he would get some kind of 'Comeback of the Year' award, or some such thing. But Couple of the Year? Seriously? They looked as awkward now as during the show!
And I was surprised by her appearance...she looks even more gaunt than during the show's run?

As before, I have to give the writers their credit. As crappy a job they seem to be doing since reuniting JA with EA/EH, Ep73 did the EH/HY arc right. From the beginning, when he first saw her with SW and the way his arm went limp with the roses, and then dropping them on the ground, to the scene at the cafe where he loved her too much to embarrass her by calling her out for lying, to the end where they both go home...it was 10/10. Even the part where he was drinking by himself in the cold, and after imagining her there briefly.. he FINALLY realized "I can't do this anymore". Just really good, including the choice of BGM. I've known guys like EH, where they just have to be kicked in the teeth repeatedly to finally get the message; so for me, although frustrating, this wasn't unrealistic.

And that long shot of the rose bouquet lying on the sidewalk was perfection.

So again, I ask: How is it that they can come up with wonderful scenes like this and they are so few and far between? In TRHC I used to joke that the show was written by 2 teams of writers, one good, the other bad and they'd take turns writing episodes. Here, it's on more of a micro-level - we get a great scene and then its a desert of "I could care less" scenes stretching on for multiple episodes.
