you're welcome!

same!

:))

In the novel, yes.
Chronologically it lasts approximately six months. In written form, it's about 2-3 chapters.

You're welcome!! :)
(As per the novel) He was not in a comma. While rescuing her he was pushed off a rooftop and hit his back going down, cracking his spine.
He needed a surgical repair and they implanted a piece that JX personally printed for him at her company.
They weren't 100% officially back together before this happened to him. They'd spoken prior to the attack and made a decision to meet and resolve their differences. Before that meeting could take place, the kidnapping happened and HT went to rescue her and was injured.
In the hospital, JX took very good care of him up to and after the surgery. They also ended up talking while he was there and working out their differences and officially got back together again.

if we're following the novel, yes.

not yet

if we get spoiled with the wedding I'll be happy :))
I also don't mind seeing some pining.
But omg who has patience for the side couples? 😭 If they shift focus away from our mains to focus on them I will....!!!!!!!

tissues i tell you! rolls and rolls of them.

interesting.
in the novel them getting together, the spinal surgery lady's story, and the breakup happen pretty fast one after the other.
then there's the inbetween when she resigns, the company merges, Boston, etc.
they get back together, she gets kidnapped, the radiation scandal, his surgery, recovery, then it's pretty much extras.
if we're up to ep 25 and they won't break up until 31 then take until 34 or later to get back together? I wonder how they're going to draw things out.

two chapters were updated today in the extras section volume four.
really a mix of emotions didn't seee it coming.

really?? nice!! didn't think they'd include the extra scenes.
but if they include the daughter I will (censored) them!!!! :((

If I'm calculating correctly, we're more than halfway through the novel atp but still up to ep 25.
What on earth can they fit into 40 eps?
I can see an end at ep 30 or max 35--if you stretch things out.
Thoughts?

anybody else reading the novel?
Bc the releases today just about flattened me. Need someone to pass the tissues.

after sleeping together she lost conficence that he really wants to be with her and twisted herself into knots convincing herself it was only a one-night stand to him.

then he walked her home and asked her why she's avoiding him and pressed her about how she sees their relationship. before the roommate interrupted it was obvious that he wanted something more from her- bc you don't talk to a one-night stand about feelings and relationship definitions.

then he got her away from the protest mob and took her home to take care of her, bandaged her finger, cooked food for her. that was the final indication for her that he is serious about being with her.

the verbal confirmation clinched it but it was already understood between them based on actions that could not be explained away.

when he said "do you want to try it?" it can be understood that he meant "do you want to try being in a romantic relationship with me?" she said "yes", he teased her, then he point blank asked her "do you want to be my girlfriend?"

hmmm in the novel she was mad. here she was (too but also) crying. it's interesting.

Yes. The writing is done very well, integrating details and entire dialogues from the novel in a story that keeps the spirit of the book but alters it beautifully for tv.
It's interesting though, that while the tv JX is indeed more resilient and mature in a sense, the novel JX handled this particular crisis better.

They're next level. <3

Agree.
The part where she cries in the car, though.
If I remember right, the novel JX handled it a bit better.

yup.the post-show slump we're heading for will be baaaaaad lol
