Taino

While we can agree on the boundaries topic, it is not true that she "had her legs open" for 2ML. The female lead and the guy worked together, and she is a nice person, but she never gave the idea that she would be remotely interested in the guy. Yes, the annoying guy was him, and no, she was not behaving like an easy woman. The FL was annoying sometimes, but she was always a decent person and treated SML almost like a brother.

I will add this to my queue

This one was one of the very first C-Dramas I ever watched and for the longest time I remembered this one as a great 10/10 drama until I decided to rewatch it only to find everything you just described. The ML was boring and plain, the plot was forgettable at best and the chemistry between the main leads was non-existent... This is sad, I'd prefer to never had rewatched this one and keep the memory based on nostalgia alone that it was good...

I have watched only one episode, and it seems like this can be a very good one.

I don't understand why we have to put on with the guy spending that much time with the female lead and getting so close that you would think that they are childhood friends or something, to the point that he was still around after she rejected him, still around after the main leads got back together, still around with the whole misunderstanding where everyone thought they were dating, around when she had to confront the person who made her life miserable years ago, still around with very personal family issues of the female lead and if that was not enough he gets a whole farewell scene with teary eyes and hugs in the last episode... what a joke...

100%! On episode 12 now and confirmed that this is the case.

This is a safe place for me

This is one of my favorites! However, you should know that the focus is a fluffy and lighthearted story that will free you from the anxiety of infinite misunderstandings, love triangles, family drama and angst but in return you obtain an easy plot without much drama. I personally prefer the story to get slightly boring instead of constant drama, angst and misunderstandings...

This is as fluffy and lighthearted as it gets!

Until he is rejected, but still tried to get in between the main leads. The point of making him unbearable for me was when they were dating officially again, and the guy knew about this but he continued his endeavors to get close to the girl and even took advantage of the misunderstandings... That's a selfish annoying dude...

To be completely honest, I wasn't really that annoyed with the young teacher until...

The young teacher is there for "comedy", but instead takes as away screentime and intimate moments that should be exclusive to the main leads. On the other hand, as evil as she is the friend that contributed to the misunderstanding has been instrumental to the plot and ML has done a great job keeping his distance from her.

Huge difference between a filler love triangle and a plot driven love triangle...

And I understand yours, since I have watched dramas where the chemistry is so intense that they don't even need to talk to each other for the room to be filled with tension and keep us at the edge of our seats.

Yes, made it to episode 7 and the show is very smooth skipping all filler scenes with the younger teacher..!

Hey! What is this one about?

I don't find the young teacher annoying, but I am still skipping his scenes because they add absolutely nothing to the story besides "funny" moments (I don't find them funny)...

I am on episode 4 now and I like both, young and present. I like that they had their own dynamic; the younger couple has been more bittersweet while the current one is more bickering, but feels romantic even since that's a special treatment only between them...

Another one where the FL is basically dating SML, and is only missing the label and a kiss...

Which is why I plan to skip him without any regrets now that I decided to start watching this...
