You're welcome :)

Ah, sorry for the confusion. Though the ml does a lot for her, it doesn't mean that she does not love unconditionally either! I find it a bit hard to explain. The main reason I chose your option two is because the ml does fall first because he admires her and he does a lot for her. But I also feel like that she emotionally gives the same love in return. They have an equal partnership and treat each other with respect. In that part, they have a mature and healthy relationship (in my personal opinion).

Hi, unfortunately I don't recall the exact episode where they get together. It's been a while since my last re-watch.
If I must choose, between your two options I'd have to say that romance is more of a sub-plot. Both characters seem perfectly noble. Despite that they each have their own personal challenges to overcome. Which they handle, while supporting and respecting each other through them.
It's not a steamy drama but I did really enjoy the chemistry, due the great acting and the sweet script. Personally, that's what I prefer in a drama. I understand it if it might not your cup of tea. I hope this answered your question.

This is one of my comfort dramas. I've seen it about three times now but it might be time for the fourth ^^

A drama with a nice plot and great leads and supporting cast. The chemistry between the leads is beautiful and the supporting characters are lovely except the mum. There some beautiful scenes but I had hoped they would have ended the drama better. It's all right but could've been more conclusive. 8/10.

I also liked him a lot alongside Choi Sooyoung in 'Not Others'.

It's a well written short drama that's easy to binge. The acting is good and the writing was deeper than I expected. Would recommend.

He's so funny. I really enjoyed their interview with Jang Doyeon in Salon Drip 2.

New information is given with each epilogue. The way they show the new information is done well. What I find predictable is that I can tell now, during which part of the episode they'll show us these new twists. Usually once in the beginning to keep is hooked after the cliffhanger. Then some light sweetness in the middle. Lastly another new twists at the end. When I know a twist is coming, it doesn't feel that exciting anymore. Even if the information that is given is new like: - The underlying reasons for their actions.- Showing that they never stopped loving each other. Or Yoon Eun Sang or his mother do something crazy again. Or like last time with the chairman dying.

But like I said before. You have the right to disagree with me as I have the right to my own opinion. I bid you good night.

I see there has been a misunderstanding ^_^What I personally meant with nothing new, is that this drama follows a lot tropes I have seen before. Such as:- Cold rich character falls for Poor capable character.
- Cold rich character's family hates Poor character.
- Someone wants to take over Rich character's wealth.
- Rich jealous side character is cruel to the Poor character.
- Poor character sacrifices and suffers a lot in the name of love.
- Cold Rich Character is actually misunderstood due some childhood trauma.

In my nine years of watching k-dramas I have seen a lot of kdramas that follow what I mentioned above. To name a few:

1. King The Land
2. Fated to Love you
3. What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?
4. Boys over Flowers/F4
5. The Heirs

I'll admit and acknowledge that in this drama the roles are reversed. There is a female rich character and there is an added terminal illness. However to me, the plot and structure of this drama feels very similar to the dramas I have listed above.

Don't get me wrong, I adore Kim Jiwon, Kim Soohyun and all the other cast members. They are all really talented and good at their job. With this I mean that they portray their given characters really well. The production is also very nice and there some beautiful scenes and OST's.

The pace and structure of this drama just feels very predictable and this is my personal opinion. You guys may not agree with me and experience this drama in a very different way. That is completely normal. I just hope people can respect it when I say, that I personally do not feel the same. After all we're all different human beings with each a different perspective and experiences.

(I also want to mentioned I wrote this down in a sleep deprived state. If one has a legit counter argument, I am willing to correct my statement. If it's a difference of opinion, I'm afraid we'll just have to agree to disagree.)

The webtoon follows that narrative. It's different from the drama but also so good!

That scene where stood outside her apartment. My heart broke for the boy.

Oh I have never felt pain like Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo.

I understand what you mean. The plot is nothing new, the pacing is also not very entertaining. However the production is good and it has a stellar cast. The acting by Kim Jiwon and Kim Hyun Soo and the supporting cast is done really well.
That said, I don't like there is a cliffhanger aalmost every episode and that there only a few lovely moments between the leads each episode. One can see where the writers want to go with this story. What's keeps it entertaining the little snippets of information we get each episode during the epilogue which changes the narrative of the existing story.

You're welcome. Happy to hear you enjoyed it!

It was the latest episode, number 540.

I watched his episode on I live alone. It was so interesting to see how much he differs from his onscreen characters.

Leave my man alone. He's an idiot but he has a kind heart😭

Both leads are respectively very solid actors who have great chemistry alongside whomever they act. (See Jung Ryeo Won in Wok of Love and May It Please the Court. Plus Wi Ha Joon in Little Woman.) On top of that, the older woman and younger man trope is one my favourites.
The chemistry sure is going to be fire, I can't wait to see it!

I had hoped it would not have been him either. I think I would've been less hurt if it turned out to be Mr. Choi.
