can someone explain the scene where sinyu saw the past version of hongjo (aengcho) running away at the historical…
Fantasy genre
Writer, director are showing you their past lives.
Eun Wol drops it for everyone else still not paying attention.

Bloody hand, rescued from Well Joseon era, from Pit present day.

You're given hallucinations (Flashbacks) both leads are experiencing to assist you with the theme, synopsis. YDCBSAI.

This is their love story past/present with Karma
Her Curse, her being the key to lifting it.

FL wasn't weak or stupid.
She is alone, an outcast who is pushed into resolving work/personal issues.

You did pile on along with the lazy coworkers who misunderstood her.

ML coming to her rescue, kill her were required in Joseon, present day to solidify his own role.

He hasnt broken up with his gf TEN episodes in? Sure, she is trash but WHY IS HE A COWARD!! He broke up w/ her…
This was clearly too complex, ask someone to watch it and explain it because nothing you said is valid.

ML repeatedly broke up the fake relationship, 2FL refused to accept it.

2FL/ML's father/Mayor/2ML/Gardener are on your team. Team dim bulbs.

There's no evidence of any intimacy, communication between them.

I don't know what exactly went wrong with this drama, it started off on a good tracks then went south somewhere…
Rewatch it, it's not complicated.
Read the synopsis. What's the common thread in negative comments are from viewers that can't follow along.

Fantasy, romance, comedy
Shamanism, Curses, Spells are cast 300 years ago and present day.

We see flashbacks of the past lives of the leads in the Joseon era.

Present day Jang family curse, abandoned Shrine, Spellbook.

FL is the author of the book, its her bloody hand. She casts several spells and some fail because of mistakes.

Read the comments below, they have answers.

Many viewers were able to follow along enjoyed this love story.

I just realized that they stylishly dumped the line were the spells couldn't work...they didn't state why or did…
Rewatch it, the Spells have requirements.

If cast incorrectly, they fail.

Remember Harry Potter and how many accidents, failures took place?

Correct ingredients, correct writing*

You're watching a fantasy, past life of two lovers in the Joseon era meeting again in the present day.

She holds the key to lifting the curse. You see her Hallucinate she's writing in the Book in her previous life as the author of the Spell book.

This is a love story spanning three hundred years.

Looking at the comments, guess imma have to put watching this off for a while lol
Ignore the short bus passengers who couldn't follow along the non linear storytelling.
Ignore the fanboys/girls who ship for an actor.

Make up your own mind if this fantasy, romance and comedy is well played.

Look at the MDL recommendations, liked, disliked them?

SYIM19L
Secret Garden
WWWSK

Use flashbacks to fill in the back story.
Shamanism spells are real and they fail.

Don't get hung up on minor details, this is about the leads.

please dont tell me they fall in love only because of the spell T-T
If you're paying attention, they fall for each irregardless of the "Love potion"
It makes for hilarious interactions.
They're attracted to each other before the L.P., their non verbal communication (eyed, hands, bodies) are being panned by the director.
"Hansome Grip Reaper"
His help: Bully Hotline, Eun Wol's contact information.

Eun Wol calls him out he's found the box owner, she's the woman you're thinking about.

This is a love story spanning 300 years.
Fantasy, past life Joseon era.

Enjoy the 🦒🐻👾

her coworkers are pathetic pls tell me they get better (even tho there's no redemption for them) (on ep 3)
You need the lazy, jealous co workers for the story to unfold.

She's lonely, an outcast*

ML is inexplicably drawn to FL before Love potion.
FL calls him a "handsome grim reaper"

He needs her to lift his curse and his attention causes chaos for everyone.

There's a minor redemption arc in the final episodes for the two.

I dont understand the hate reading the comments.I loved it 🥰
Negative comments reflect their inability to follow along in most cases.
It was too complex, too many sub plots.
DWY spent seven weeks in the Top Ten Non-English Netflix's Global.

Can you be more specific "that ending?"What are you referring to? Include the mark (minutes) if you can.
I didn't have a problem with the theme, subplots including the secondary characters because the leads cut through the noise.

Eun Wol
"Love Is Messy"
Tsundere ML becoming a Hot mess had too many funny moments.
Manager and Team leader scenes were enjoyable.
DWY reminded me of Secret Garden so my eyes focused on them.


2ML realizing too late Hong Jo was precious only made for more laughs.

I could have easily watched more screen time with leads.

Haven't seen Extraordinary Woo and find it odd when people leave negative comments without an explanation.
"No plot, messy, no chemistry"

It think they're watching a different drama.

Analogy

BP fans going to a Twice concert and complaining BP songs were not.
Vegans going to a Steakhouse restaurant to complain the side dishes are boring.

I'm rewatching KTL and laughing at the leads...another sweet rom com.

Easy to explain, two year olds throwing a tantrum for not unfolding as they like.

They couldn't follow along, disliking tropes, not being spoonfed the answers to their questions.

Fantasy genre use of non-linear storytelling isn't for everyone and I've found the negative comments reflect it. Flashbacks can be overused, leave the viewer even more confused.

Some viewers have biases they can't overcome: sad, open endings, infidelity, love triangles etc.

Non-linear fantasy dramas with romance
Mr. Queen
Love From Another Star
Secret Garden
See You In My 19th Life
Legend of The Blue Sea


DWY
Viewers were confused about the magic element (shrug)


Harry Potter series, we see the use of magic fail at times but it wouldn't be logical to say "magic doesn't work" as they did in DWY.

Voice, bloody hand, shared hallucinations by ML, later FL require the viewer to accept Shamanism (magic) was deployed and failed at times.

Negative comments simply couldn't piece it together and threw a tantrum in the comments section.

Fair comment: realistic action/emergency scenes are problematic in most rom coms, med-low budget films.

a lot of people r hating on this drama but honestly if you want to watch something you’ll enjoy this is a great…
It is one of the better dramas in 2023. I do understand, my opinion of those negative comments couldn't follow along.
It was too complicated. The OST is enjoyable.

Title Dear Hongrang Spoiler
I like historical cdramas the most but historical / fantasy kdramas are stepping up their game, AOS and My Dearest…
🤣

My criticism in general are villains are cast poorly, action, medical emergency scenes in most rom coms are bad.

I have actors I like and in most cases can tolerate a mediocre drama.

Mr. Queen Shin Hye Sun playing a male had too many memorable funny scenes for me.
Her/him being violated by the King, her wine being consumed by her maid.

Thanks for clarifying, others have asked that question. It's a good idea to scroll and look to see if others have answered.
After scrolling a few others have.

On the mountain Aeng Cho asked if he stole the book, their relationship was ruse to get it?

You could tell he's heartbroken and his killing her to avoid her being killed by the Ox (dismemberment)

He will glady accept the curse and stated in the future he wanted them to have a happy life together.

Epilogue
Jang Mu jin is placing a book in a hole.

Jang Clan own the land that had the shrine that became the Haunted House (defunct Shrine) because a relative failed to maintain it.

Hong Jo went to it to assess it and take photos.
Narrative we hear a voice she's back.

I chuckle at those who couldn't follow along with the fantasy, drama of the curse and her role.


Continuity Error*: In the future Jang Shin Yu is retrieving a box that contains the book.

We should extrapolate this is the Box that contained the Spells used in the present day.

This isn't a problem that plagues Korean dramas, Hollywood has this too!

The plot is written very badly with a fickle mind. It starts good but with such bad writing the story goes downhill…
You didn't understand the drama, most of the negative comments reflected missed the non verbal cues, hints.

Past and present lives in a nonlinear manner broke the complainers.

Read the synopsis again. Shrug

This is a relationship between the leads (past lives) in the Joseon era. Reincarnation!
ML starts to remember with dreams, hallucinations.

The bloody hand belongs to FL. The Jang clan is cursed, he killed her in the past.

She gets (hallucinations, flashbacks) them later.
