I feel like the story is moving a bit too quickly. Sure refreshing compared to other slower dramas but we are getting a love confession in ep 4....that is bit too quick i'm curious about the time plot though so i will keep watching.
Can i watch this and get everything even if i havent watched NIF 1?
Technically yes but to understand eeeverything and get the details and the "aha" - moments I would suggest to watch NIF1 first but it's not a must. NIF1 is just as good as NIF2 if not even better so I do think you should check them both out. The order doesn't really matter xP
Maybe it's just me but the entire plot about Woo Do Hwan being the 'greatest seducer' doesn't really make sense. He was never a player-type of character. Se joo fits that better. I Always felt like Shi Hyun was more of those 'overly nice guys' who got missunderstood for flirting because he cares about girls. The entire bet that he should seduce Tae Hee just felt so out of place and weird....and then oh the drama when they fell in love lolz....I don't see what Soo Ji would gain from all of this. Sure she wanted to break Tae Hee's heart and she never imagined Shi Hyun to actually fall for her but...why would you ask the guy you "like" to seduce another woman? She was doing herself an unfavor and now that Shi Hyun and Tae Hee are in love it just makes no sense at all. I also feel like the drama is just dramatic for the sake of being dramatic. I do feel sorry for a lot of characters but I feel like they just created more drama out of nowhere by overreacting to certain things. I still love the acting and I'm a huge fan of Woo Do Hwan, but this plot just doesn't make much sense -.-* He is a very interesting character but I would never say Shi Hyun is a great seducer. If anything he is a cute idiot who fell into his own trap of seduction.
Everything was amazing besides the romance...lolz that moment when you ship the main guy with a woman who is 20 years older than him xD they had more chemistry.
Should I watch Nirvana in fire before watching this, or doesn't in matter for the context?
The stories aren't really connected, so you could watch this without having watched NIF1, however they do mention some stuff that happened in NIF in NIF2, so if you want to get all the details and understand how some characters are connected, I do recommend to check out NIF first. I Think NIF2 would be more enjoyable if you watched NIF first.
NIF1 is just as good as NIF2 if not even better so I do think you should check them both out. The order doesn't really matter xP
