a great watch. you can understand why the characters are sad and distant at the start, but the melodrama takes over and kind of exaggerates it. The love in the story is great nonetheless and there is no ugly triangle. Sure the leads have other people that like them but the leads have no interest in anyone but each other which i love. Park Min Young is so amazing. She had a huge success this year with marry my husband and she is in two of my favorite dramas, "whats wrong with secretary kim" and "her private life".

Ok so i might need a little help here. :')I've been dropping a lot of dramas in their first 1-2 episodes lately.…
For me it’s one of the best series ever. The vibe is like warm, comforting and sweet. I can understand that you can’t feel the connection YET but I promise that if you watch more episodes you will see how caring, sweet and lovely they act. And for me, it’s the first kdrama that the main couple act so naturally together and not the “cringe stage” in the relationship. So personally I would really recommend to finish it. I hope you will eventually enjoy ☺️
Such a lovely romance. If others find this series boring, well I think I needed that boring stuff in my life sometimes 😀 I enjoyed this series in all fairness!
kind of surprised by the boring comments cause i remember this drama being very dramatic but its been a while so maybe i just found the slowness of it very captivating
Winter is coming...im getting ready for my 4th rewatch...!
Best way to enjoy this drama is: 1)A winter day 2)Alone 3)A warm cup of coffee 4)Curled up into warm blankets
Enjoy...!
Also, for those who are saying this is a boring drama...you're right. This is a boring drama IF you're watching it with excited mind. You have to be relaxed to feel this drama, the lovely soundtrack paired up with aesthetic frames and heart touching dialogues is the best combination for me...
The comment comparing this ending with Portrait of lady on fire is spot on. I read somewhere that the original creator/writer of the webtoon also didn't like the ending with Juran in this drama.
I think it was very in character. She's stubborn and when she gets something in her head she won't stop. We saw…
Yes, the her relation with Ju Ran is a strong factor for her emotionally. And it's fine. But she dealt with emotions many times before (with her mother, with joining the group as underdog, with her stage performances) so it's unbelievable that suddenly she looses her mind because of this one, however important, relation.
Her choice to try to improve her vocal even more was just plain stupid - especially when her vocal performance in her minor role as the soldier just stole the show and she got a huge positive feedback from the audience about her performance.
What she should and would normally do is go to Ok Gyeong and ask her for an advice (as she did few times before).
Anyway I still consider this twist forced. And it's ok, no big deal. I was just facepalming for the whole episode, then I just accepted it and moved on 😉
Imo considering they aren't outright labelling anything it's still kind of subtext? But that begs the question if they were straight would we call it subtext? And are we only needing neon signs that say here be lesbians for the straight audience?
But imo anyone asking "is this GL" is actually asking "are there confessions of love and kisses and fluffy romance", in which case the answer is no.
IMHO this show is obviously queer and anyone not seeing it has their head firmly rooted in a "straight unless they outright tell me otherwise" mindset.

I need to say that the plot twist in episode 8 was a bit unbelievable. It was not consistent with the character…
I think it was very in character. She's stubborn and when she gets something in her head she won't stop. We saw it happen in the pilot when she wouldn’t listen to her mom, and eventually ran away. And in ep6 when she stole the play. She was told repeatedly to not overdo her performance because her small role wasn’t meant to overshadow the leads but she went rogue when she got jealous over Juran & Yeongseo's scene. In ep 8, the tipping point was once again getting jealous after seeing Juran with Yeongseo plus Hyerang manipulating her emotionally.
Hmm. Dunno where to start from First of all, THE ACTING AJD ACTORS WERE AMAZING! Playing characters after characters, while maintaining their original role, damn. It was an art.
Characters wise, not so satisfied. Jeongnyeon is talented and flawed. She's ambitious, so that explains her crazy acts sometimes. I do find her over the top sometimes and I didn't like the pity party they gave her in ep 8,9. She reaped what she sowed. She made others started blaming themselves and disrupted the atmosphere with her actions. She wanted to eat her cake and have it all the time. She's fitting for a FL but I didn't like her all the time. She got so annoying to me at some point. She was still given the protagonist halo though🤷
Heo Youngso had one impressive character development. She's flawed, yet, impressive. I like her.
Yooran, hmm. I think I like her at the beginning but the writer seems to want to get rid of her and her aura, she started blending in as a supporting character than a main she started with. So disappointing. As for her decision, it was sad but not surprising. But that plotline seems like she got disposed from the story. And it was obvious with the confessions and all that that she loved Jeongnyeon and vice versa. Although, I would have preferred her with Youngseo.
Okgyeong was a complex character and her actions didn't surprise me at all. Her last action seem befitting of her, yet, sudden. Like another character disposal.
Hyerang wanted to protect what they have but she did it wrongly. And it's disappointing that what she and Mr Ok did got swept under the rug, because their actions affected the troupe significantly.
I like Chorok's character development too. I also like other characters like Doaeng and Jeongnyeon's sister too, amongst others.
It was a good one👍, although not so satisfied with the story.
