Agreed. But i Dropped at 9. Glad to see these other reactions. I thought I was losing my mind based on these ratings.

omg exactly when I dropped it. I just could not care anymore. I don't get these high ratings.

I can't be the only one who struggled to finish this. I like Rom Coms and even put up with cliches but I could NOT finish this. I do NOT understand this rating. Its a 6.5-7 for me
It started out rom commy enough and the leads had chemistry but I just could not continue. There is NO PLOT. Dropped at ep 9.
Make out sessions alone does not a Drama Make.
I get the chemistry btw Yoona and JunHo and being their fan but people really need to be a bit objective when giving ratings.
.I am beginning to think people who have not watched a lot of classic kdrama romcoms and think this is a good show bec otherwise these ratings are misleading.

Thank you for the recommendations. That happened to me a while ago so I was recommended Turkish Drama and mind was blown.
May I recommend a
1) Siyah Beyaz Ask: Forced Marriage plot including a Mafia + Doctor (Black and White Love)
2) Son Yaz: Prosecutor takes in a mafia son to protect him, romance, bromance, family values, angst the whole epicness of it all.
I Loved watching the culture, the drama, acting, soundtracks, scenery. It really was good to diversify.
It was also good to see remakes of certain popular kdramas into Turkish ones such as Secret, Brilliant Legacy.

I don't get the high ratings. I really tried and can sit through a bad lakorn plot but only if there is chemistry. I didn't feel much chemistry btw the leads and it was on repeat of "you should have told me", "I am with your brother now", "I am going on a date with Marissa"....I just couldn't do it after episode 6. Dropped.

I liked this show way more than I thought I would. I thought I wouldn't like the School adolescent portion of the show but surprisingly loved the chemistry btw the leads way more there than after the time gap. Never watched any of the leads before but they had GREAT slow burn chemistry. CFU was enigmatic as Li Xun. Mind you the FL gave him way way way too many chances and I would tell her to stay away from him in real life but in this show he was def the highlight. Business parts were boring after the time jump BUT let's be honest we watched to see if and when the leads would get together.

Wow what a thorough recap. Thank you

I am glad you finished it and hopefully liked it! Similar recommendations...are you looking for period drama? Slow burn? Enemies to Lovers.....what kind of particular show? I watch all sorts of different shows so if it has to be a particular country let me know.

I have watched the old Taiwanese version. They had great chemistry but yeah he treated her bad.

What show is that?

Great Article! I would also recommend
1) Nam joo Hyuk as the a green flag Do San in Start Up
2) Seo Woo Jin from Dr. Romantic 2 and 3
3) Namkoong Min as Jang Hyun in My Dearest

hang in there! I would not have been able to last the angst if I didnt binge watch it all at once!

I see a general sense of unsatisfaction with the ending which is sad and a disservice to all the cast and crew especially the main actors who acted their hearts out.

It was a last minute happy ending which really annoyed me after that angst but there are a lot of good couple scenes with chemistry and angst so if that's your cup of tea run and watch this. I found the chemistry really well done maybe bec I binge watched it:)

Okay so apparently there is an extended version of the episode that was released later and there is a scene there where I think he is released and finds out as far as I understand as per the dramabeans post:

Oh I loved it a lot more. LOL ML raised this to a new level but first part was like a 9.5 and the second part is an 8. Namgook min's acting alone raised each of them a point. However, yes I wish they gave them a more proper ending after all that pain.

thank you! So it seems there are no new scenes of the Main couple. I wish they had a more complete ending

What's the run time on the extended episode pls? the last scene I saw was the one at the beach but can't seem to find it anywhere else. Thanks

Oh so are there additional scenes afterwards?

LOl I just remembered...they didnt even give him a proper ending!
