If you're looking for a story mainly about sports, with well thought-out and engaging matches, I'd just turn to anime/manga lol. But other than that, the show is lovely. I could spend another 16 eps with those characters. Special shoutout to the coaches, their story moved me the most. And loved the cameo in last ep (happy that our PP couple finally got a happy ending!)

Wow, half of the cast I love, the other I actively avoid 😅

I'm also wondering if it's the original novel ending or result of recent iqiyi policy, if anyone knows

I just wanna take scissors and cut their bangs, why do they have hair covering their eyes

After Melo Movie, I can already see the comments "This is a drama? I thought it was a movie" 😅

Oh I'm not advocating to not fact-check or for MDL to publish this news at all, just commenting on your point about going to the police

(Of course I'm not considering the attack on the informant - but I guess they mentioned that police/FBI is already involved)

But there is no police case here. From what I heard, it was perfectly legal at that time for KSH to date a minor. The other case is his company insisting on KSR to pay back her debt - I don't think there is much of a police case here either. Doesn't mean that it was ethically right.

The first leads break up after the FL decides that she doesn't like the fact that the ML is distancing himself from her (he is a journalist, travels a lot and covers some heavy topics like 9/11, making it a difficult time for him, but he doesn't want to share it with the FL and that's the main thing that what bothers her). What many people didn't like is that it happens in a pretty short time span (one or two episodes). But it is realistic and is handled in a very beautiful and emotional way. For me, it was worth all the hype.

SHS unfortunately hasn't had a good drama since Mr Queen

Can't you just add "... in Korea" to the title?

I know I needed some time too haha 😆

He's clearly trying to show Sieun that he's fine. That's why he tries to look as cool as he can. He's read his desperate messages. But you can see Suho's subtle microexpressions, when he realises that Sieun found at least a little bit of comfort.

Beautiful interpretation, thank you.

This is a very standard, cliche kdrama, done pretty well. Nothing offensive here (besides the cheating, but the girl is a bitch so I personally could look past it), nothing very bad, chemistry is on point and leads are very pretty. I just wish the mother would have divorced that sad excuse of a husband. I feel like in some version of the script she did, but they scrapped her relationship with her son's friend cause it would be too unorthodox for a kdrama.

She forgets her memories but he still pursues her so I dunno

Second that!

Looking at the cringy side-characters, this will be exactly like BL and PL 😭😭

I don't really think that S2 criticism has much to do with Suho though - most people loved the new characters, but the show was lacking in other aspects

I too at first thought that the reunion was underwhalming, especially on Suho's side. But thinking about it, he would want to appear cool in front of Sieun. He knew that Sieun has worried for months about him, so he tries to make the reunion feel as normal as possible. But you can see from his microexpressions that he's relieved that Sieun "moved on" at least a bit. From Sieun's side, that run could be a bit more dramatic, but this is the first smile we see since C1, so I wouldn't call it emotionless either. But ofc a hug would be appreciated haha
