have had similar thoughts, you've phrased them so well.. I wondered too if Soomin is being built for sympathetic redemption

thanks for sharing. I agree that they are different (except for the main trope and unconditionally loving ML). And I enjoy both in their own ways.

really can't wait to see them 🤭😍

anything is good enough, just to see her character be happier 😭

looking forward to Yang Joo Ran's happy ending too. She deserves so much better and so much more.

though with the limited screentime left, it might just be a few minutes/scenes

I'm in the same camp as you . it's not without flaws but I'm overall enjoying most of it.. the details you point out are spot on

Story is different, PMR travelled 1 year back so time is tight. MMH travelled back 10 years, which I feel gives space for the character growth arc. PMR has a very straightforward almost too easy romance. MMH romance has many turns. Acting is top notch in MMH (supporting characters especially), PMR heads straight into the massive angsty family makjang, MMH has a different type of makjang after the middle point, not everyone enjoys that.

I'm also in the minority where I prefered PMR webtoon to MMH. as dramas I enjoy both in different ways.

I find the chemistry in both dramas awesome. MMH has sweet and tender moments that I appreciate as part of the chemistry.

it depends on what you're looking for and who responds.. ep 14 is not as upsetting as 13 for me

me too, the unpredictable changes are fun in their way

same!

there was one drama 2 years back where we really enjoyed discussing theories in the comment section. but it's really rare I agree.

yup, opinions are fine but gets kinda weird when the drama has moved on, whether for better or worse, but commenters who supposedly dropped the series many episodes ago have not..

thank you for sharing your experiences, it's fascinating indeed, having many ways of evolving Chinese inputs and locals arguing lol. there's so much to learn about each language, I'm inspired by what you shared, to read up, travel more 😊

I'm outside mainland China.. as a Mandarin speaker, we do use phonics in Chinese (hanyu pinyin), for "spelling" and typing Chinese characters..

Baidu app used to have a lot of lively kdrama discussions till they banned kdramas few years back.. definitely interesting to see how viewers in various regions respond!

I'm so happily skipping every scene of Yu Ra muahaha. (would rewatch when the show is over but right now really cannot tolerate her character)

thank u!! almost gave up waiting lol

💯

bring on the angst. I'm ready, counting down to Monday

the number of times he has said "I like you" 😭

hitting 12k comments oh wow!

Yonder app will have the English translated novel but it needs payment after some free chapters (or some form of daily free pass).
