This drama was wonderful. My over-passionate comments aside, this drama featured a wonderful man called Ju Ji Hoon, played by Hong Min Ki as his younger self. His character was sweet, transparent, straightforward, thoughtful, caring, kind, sexy, and endlessly charming. I gave this drama a solid 10 easily, because the last 4 episodes made up for anything else I may not have liked in the beginning.
Ju Ji Hoon was calm: He never raised his voice at anyone who did him wrong, unless it was a situation capable of becoming violent or dangerous. I find that quality in men to be extremely attractive because I love that he never even shouted at the 'friend' for what she did to the female lead, even though she would have deserved it.
Ju Ji Hoon was patient: His love for the female lead ensured that he always thought of her first, and despite her immaturity and downright rudeness in the beginning of the show, he was always cool, calm, collected with her and treated all characters in a same patient and understanding way.
Ju Ji Hoon was sexy: The way he always defended the girl, the way he let his intentions known from the very beginning, the amazing suits he wore, his charming personality, his cute relationship with his PA, his hugs, his voice and expressions (specially the last episode when he discussed a spring wedding on the sofa LMAO) he was effortlessly sexy.
Ju Ji Hoon was perfect: This man never showed any traits of toxic masculinity, despite the way she treated him he always was painfully obvious and transparent with her. Never any mind games, never any insults disguised as humor, always put effort in his relationship and dealt with violent fathers, unrequited suitors, betraying best friends and estranged grandfathers deftly, calmly, caringly, rationally, maturely, and suitably.
Episode 5 and MY GOD undoing JJH's tie never looked so tempting! This man needs to do another true romance show…
Haha it's just that I don't want new viewers to give up on the show just because I keep simping for JJH and raging on the female lead. But you are right :)
Episode 10 and OMO that hug was so cute. I don't know if it is a different kind of shooting style or what, but for some reason whenever they show JJH touching her and his suit wrinkling because of it, I can almost FEEL the hug and feel exactly how he would feel if he was hugging me. Supremely creepy I know but my admiration for him has circled back into objectification in a way.
Ep6 shows clear differences in besties There’s also a friend like yumi and there’s this ji hye 😡
Ohh I think JJH has so much charisma and he deserves to act against a female lead who actually likes him, the way female leads in romance shows usually do. Anyway, the show is still good because JJH and his cute character, totally worth watching

apologies, I know it's not that deep, I was expecting too much from this show I think, and so far JJH is the only one carrying this show on his back in the current timeline
Episode 5 and MY GOD undoing JJH's tie never looked so tempting! This man needs to do another true romance show…
Episode 7 now and the female lead walking up the stairs looks like she's got an inner thigh burn on BOTH her thighs smh WHO cast this dumb clown next to the mighty JJH? Her bad expressions almost make me think that Cha Ji Hye might be a better choice BRUH
Third episode now and MY GOD if Ju Ji Hoon in a sexy black suit was so close to me like that, I would simply pass…
Episode 5 and MY GOD undoing JJH's tie never looked so tempting! This man needs to do another true romance show with a female lead who is actually as amazing as he is!
This is exactly why Love Scout is good, these grownups acting childish is pathetic
Tbf Ju Ji Hoon is totally fine and tries to hold a mature conversation with the FL on multiple occasions but the FL is so intolerable. She's the only character behaving this way
