Decent cute little watch (if your ignore the last episode)

I absolutely LOVED the first half of the show: the set up, the leads, the build. AND omg the costumes for Yeon Woo - absolutely gorgeous. The story was interesting enough, but I don't think that was the driving point of this drama anyway. I was here for the romance and the cutesy. All in all it was good watch, if you ignore the last episode. A small plot-hole, became a giant one until there was only a question mark left. Honestly, I don't get what even happened there??? (Spoilers: Why did he suddenly die in Joseon, and why couldn't she accept him? Didn't she love her husband in Joseon first? And they are the freaking same person, but then again he in the new age would have been alone. And I seriously thought their goodbye was final, until it suddenly wasn't anymore, I'm just confused) Those things don't make any sense, but I guess I'm going to ignore it, because I love happy endings. Just.... they could've done it better. But I don't care tbh. It wasn't made to become a masterpiece.
What I actually appreciated story-wise, was their kinda sloppy executed feminism-movement in Joseon. It's nice to see a woman stand up for her rights, especially because Yeon Woo was already more outspoken and independent at the very beginning. But maybe not that realistic if you think about it, but still nice if you don't take it too seriously (and you definitely shouldn't take this drama too serious).

This is my first Bae In Hyuk drama and I must say, he is cute and has something very charming about him! I fell and immediately started watching Under the Queen Umbrella (which is on it's own an amazing drama - funny enough him and Yoo Sun Ho are brothers there too ahahah).
Lee Se Young has always been a tricky topic for me. For some reason none of her dramas spoke to me EVER, like I wouldn't always know she came out with a new series, but I never liked her projects or her?? But I loved her in here, and I might give her other works a try now!

Perfect Youth/Family Kdrama with lots of story to tell

Not only have I binge-watched all 16 episodes in two days, but I also cried my eyes and laughed my heart out. Though it is true, that this drama does contain some minor plotholes and a few questions at the end, I think its strength definitely lies in its heart and story it's trying to tell. Honestly, I think that for a "heartful" and "youthful" drama it did an excellent job at finishing it up and there were way more connections than I expected. It's the kind of drama you want to experience once again right after you finish. It tells a story about family, friends, life's hardships, and most importantly in my opinion: Gratitude.

I loved seeing Eun Gyeol and Lee Chan chemistry, especially how Eun Gyeol kind of took on the "father"-role when he traveled back to 1995. Not only that, but the whole friendship with Ma Joo and the other band members was really heartwarming (especially after we come back to 2023 and they were still friends omg).
Some might say they had problems with the pacing, but I actually enjoyed how some things unfolded in the latter half (for example Cheon Ah's plot with her family). I was worried about the story, because at some point it seemed very messy, because no matter what nothing seemed to be working out, but somehow it did and it was satisfying enough for me at least.
Honestly, even though Lee Chan lost his hearing in the end, the story ended a lot more positively than I thought it would. The fact that Eun Gyeol's whole childhood and family situation changed, I wasn't expecting that kind of ending. But I appreciate it a lot, that they ended the story on such a bright note (even though I wished it ended with his family and friends and not with a kiss with Eun Yu).
So, about her! I wasn't really expecting another time traveler, that was cool imo (I haven't watched many time travel dramas, and those that I watched never included more than one time traveler). I kind of wished they had found out about each other a bit earlier though, and was I the only one that thought, that their romantic chemistry dropped a lot after they found out? Like, the chemistry was great before, but it just suddenly stagnated and they seemed more like friends after they found out (which was weird, but I thought they'd be happy, since it meant they'd be together in 2023 as well).

Other than that, I loved Cheon Ah and Lee Chan's love story (too freaking cute) and Lee Chan's grandmother! They also did a great job of highlighting the disabled part of the story and raising awareness.

All in all, I loved it so much! It made me reminisce about the youth that I never had (I feel like in asian schools it's totally different). It was cute, heartwarming, sad and fulfilling! A perfect youth kdrama that I'd recommend to everyone! I swear, you won't regret it!

It's an absolute wonderful drama!
I must honestly say that I wasn't very invested during the first few eps (maybe due to personal circumstances as well), but this one is a watch, that gets better with every episode. This series starts out not that serious. It seems like a casual watch, without any substance to it, but as you continue they'll drop little life lessons and emotional moments here and there. Even though it seems a bit hard to apply these things to your actual life, I think their principles and attitude are very inspiring.
Even though I originally started this show, because of Sakaguchi Kentaro (love), I must say in the end I fell in love with the character Kurosawa Kokoro. I LOVE her to bits. She is your typical bubbly girl with a bright attitude, which makes the room a bit awkward because she is just THAT bright... bear cub describes her so well. But even though it sounds annoying in theory, I totally loved it! Like I wish, I could be like that irl (though it's a bit hard I admit). She's cute, relatable, intelligent and so kind. Her spirit makes everyone adore her, you cannot not like Kurosawa.
Every side character was so lovable and interesting in their own way and their chemistry was so great. Especially towards the end, where you get the gags and know each of them better (sorry but Wada was so funny). I will definitely miss everyone, all editors, even the sales team (obviously Koizumi), and of course all manga artists!
Probably the most interesting thing about this drama is the process of creating a manga (I don't know how realistic it actually is tho). It was lovely to see that even though they were all different, they had one thing in common: their love for manga and their passion to make a piece of art.
I also very much enjoyed the way they structured the series. It's kind of episodic, but not all storylines end with the episode, they continue and pick up some later, it makes the whole watching progress interesting. It's amazing how characters don't just disappear after their story "has been told" (which happens very very often), but they continue to live on in the story, just like in real life! Because of that the whole show felt very coherent and the ending was sooo satisfying!
I wish there would be more!! I'll come back someday.

A perfect fun and suspenseful watch

Last year I saw this coming out, and I thought to myself, "Ah, another action Netflix kdrama..." and never gave it a chance. Until recently I thought it was some mediocre action drama that I would not enjoy, like most action kdramas. Then I saw a review that was so enthusiastic about The Uncanny Counter, that I decided to give it a go on a random evening.
Oh boy, was that person right! This show was such a refreshing breath of air finally, a good action kdrama that I managed to finish. One that I LOVED. Honestly, might be the first one as well.

I don't even know where to start. There are many kdramas about Grim Reapers and the evil spirits etc. but The Uncanny Counter successfully fused the supernatural, with comedy, family-drama, action and politics. While watching I was sometimes worried about how the writers were going to continue with the story, because there were so many different starting points, from the evil spirits to the mayor and politics and all the personal problems of So Mun and the other Counters. But man, they told the story with such mastery, it was smooth af.
I liked that everything was kind of connected, but wasn't necessarily intertwined. Honestly, we had everything: comedy, a lot of heartful and sad moments, hype moments and moments of frustration. Even though towards the end it kind of dragged (really just a tiny bit, maybe I'm just sensitive) they always threw in something new. Like holy freak Son Ho Jun appeared I was so happy like AHH (they could've just not decided to kill him though like...). Sometimes I was really frustrated because nothing seemed to work out and maybe there were some parts where I was like "okay, but they could've done that...", but honestly it's completely forgivable.

Cho Byeong Kyu? Eh, hello? Why didn't I notice earlier that his acting is... amazing? Maybe because he always played smaller roles, but damn, he delivered. He did a wonderful job, especially bc this is his first main MAIN role. All the other Counters were so perfectly casted, the chemistry was perfect and their relationship adorable. Please, give me the second season already.
Shoutout to all the antagonists. The actors and actresses were INSANE (sometimes those scenes scared the heck out of me, like it's disgusting, bc in my head it was a comedic show...), especially Lee Hong Nae, he creeped the heck out of me, but in those more humane moments I could still feel his sadness and fear (even though I couldn't empathize ofc the story didn't allow me to, but his delivery was really good). He definitely stole the show.

I would rewatch this without a second thought. Yeah, it was that good. One thing I liked (and this might just be a very personal thing) is that we could feel with the characters, but it wasn't extremely relatable so that I'd bawl my eyes out. It was enough to make me teary eyed, but the things that happened were enough distanced (idk how to say it...) so that I wouldn't invest too much of my emotions into the characters and their sadness. In other words, it's a really good watch, where you could just stop and go about your daily life, without feeling like something is different... It's good entertainment, but nothing life-changing. And sometimes (or very often) this is just something that we need :)

That's what you call a typical cliché drama, but made successfully

I was looking for a cliché older kdrama, with predictable nonsense plottwists, but lovable characters and a heartful story. Well, I got what I wanted.
We've got the rich ML, the humble nice and invisible FL, the time-skip (I'm kind of a sucker for time skips), the amnesia part, and the happy ending.

I remember watching the chinese version of this story a few years back and lowkey wishing I started with the korean one. It was a given that the korean one is going to better (I haven't seen the taiwanese one yet, but hopefully will soon). And of course, it is way better. The acting performance wasn't necessarily outstanding, but still really good. Without a doubt Jang Hyuk carried the show like the boss. Even though his hair was hideous the first half of the show (and even worse somewhere towards the middle, thank god they gave him another hairstyle...) he won my heart with the last half of the show... A very fine aged wine indeed. My favourite part about this whole show probably, was Mi Yeong's mom and her relationship with Geon and also her relationship with Mi Yeong. It was absolutely adorable and heartwarming. Jang NaRa got the best moms in her dramas, I swear.
All of the lovey dovey moment were so cute, innocent cliché and too sweet to be true. To be honest, the show got better the farther it went. The last half was such a delight, so satisfying and fun to watch. I mean we got Jang Hyuk in a good hairstyle, we got the "mother-son" moments, a strong-girl comeback, extremely fun and awkward moment, the little bromance between Mr. Tak, Yong and Geon. They even gave the ending a WHOLE ass episode. Didn't feel rushed at all, maybe even a bit too much, but it was nice to see everything wrap up nicely.

All in all, my little pink cliché romance heart is very content and I definitely don't regret watching this show!

To be quite honest, I don't know why I even started watching this. My love for Jung Hae In? Not quite enough. I guess I just expected good humour in a dark setting, but not too much darkness, because the trailer made it seem like that. I definitely should have taken the "dark" tag more seriously. But once I started I couldn't stop. It's on the shorter side, so there are no fillings, or places for boredom, yet nothing seemed rushed.
The story is awful, dark, graphic, honest and nothing is sugar coated. You'd usually expect an ending on a somewhat hopeful note. There is nothing like that here. The ending was awful. (and I am still pondering about what it meant, when An Jun Ho began running... did he run away too?).
They showed us a system that is prone to harassment, abuse of all sorts and with seemingly no escape at all. There are the victims, that might become the perpetrator, hurt pride on which they act with aggression. It is truly awful.
You can still tell that the creators wanted to get a message across, wishing for a change. At the end it even felt like the characters were talking to the audience directly.
The first few episodes were fun, like really fun, even though the comedy is not in your face, but I had a blast, even with the dark moments, but towards the last two episodes. Like wow. I'll repeat ... it's awful. Also how they sneakily build up on to the last two eps makes my heart ache even more.
I don't know what I am writing, my thoughts are messy and so are my words.

Classics never get old.

It's weird. This story is unrealistic, sometimes quite stupid and cliché, but somehow you just can't forget it. And you love it. Makino and Tsukasa, they are a legendary couple I'd say. For some reason, their story makes them seem grand and meant to be. Maybe it's because they went through so much together. Their friends and the support of everyone was really nice to see. I mean, it's a classic, you just have to watch it.
Shigeru was probably my favourite. Or at least she made me cry SO MUCH in this whole story. Her personality and selflessness made me so emotional even in this last episode when she appeared.
I wish we could have seen Nishinoya and Yuki together, but I guess we got that in Meteor Garden 2018. And yes, I definitely agree. This version is better. Especially in the acting department, I guess this drama is my first proper Jdrama. I wanted to give it a try even though this is 15/13 years old and I didn't really wanted to watch the korean version. But I am pretty surprise at the quality, even the cinematography? This is over a decade old and has better camera directing than some newer dramas, like what.
ANYway. Personal highlights of both seasons:
Tsukasas hair (especially in s1). Gorgeous. And obviously him.
Tsukasa in a beanie.
Makinos tears.
Tsukasa and Makinos kiss in the sunset.
Tsukasa and Makino brothers plot.
"Did you know that when you cut a fig in half it looks like a heart? That's why they say that the flavour of love is sweet and sour. But to me... the flavour of love only tastes like that lousy cookie you made." my eyes got wet real quick.
Tsukasa and Makinos relationship in general.
Rui.
Just. Shigeru.
NISHIDA.
That badass housemaid.
That OST.
Tsukasa and Makino <3

Well, I see why this is a classic

This drama is almost 15 years ago, I enjoyed is SO SO MUCH! I only watched the 2018 chinese version of this and I have to say, I can totally understand why many rank this version the first. Even though this is so old, it doesn't actually feel old? Expect for the styling and technology, it doesn't feel out of place like older dramas often do. The leads were amazing, I mean they are way better actors than the chinese ones (I have to add that they were rookies tho).
And I have to say, this story has some pretty questionable storylines, but for some reason if you can overlook that, you can feel that the love between the leads and the friendships feel so sincere and heartwarming. This is definitely a classic. Also I loved that it only has nine episodes.

Masterpiece in every way

I loved loved loved loved loved it. So much. And it makes me so unbelievably happy that there is going to be a 2nd season, and that next year! What a blessing.
Even though they left a few things undone, it was still very satisfying and at the same time it keeps us excited for the next season. Honestly I was scared that they'd be changing the cast and story like they did with the reply series, or even Dr. romantic, but I guess I don't really have to worry about that!
I cried tons this episode. The first half was extremely heart-breaking and I still admire the way they convey their feelings, every single person who worked on this has contributed to this and I am very grateful!
1. I loved their friendship, it is just pure, fun, and so comfortable to watch.
2. I loved them as humans. Every single one of them. They all had their own personality, but two things that they shared was their friendship for each other and them being good to the damn core. I mean good as in morally and emotionally. They seriously inspired me to be a better person and also work harder.
3. I have mentioned this before, but I loved the fact that there were NOT the typical kdrama struggles and obstacles. No annoying chaebol (I mean there is Seokhyungs father but he appeared like once and he did not matter that much, it was more about how Seokhyung and his mother will deal with him). Actually... isn't this production team known for being fresh and non-cliché? Anyway, fact is. I love it.
4. I love the way they tell the story. I guess it's a pretty unconventional way of unfolding a story (ties with the point above), but it's just so unique and it works very very well. To me it seems more human and more like life? Things don't always get confronted at first, often a lot of time will pass and often it is not even that dramatic. There were no slow motions or like moments that they would show longer than necessary (maybe those moments were even in real-life time?).
5. I loved the heart breaks and heart throbs they gave us. It hurt when something bad happened, when a patient was doing badly, but it made me so much more happy when they recover. They did not drag a heart break for long. We move on in life.
6. I loved the relationships between the doctors and patients they showed. We saw that they cared deeply for their patients and always ALWAYS did their best in order to help them recover. They basically lived to save people. I was quiet moved by this and my respect for doctors grew again. Sometimes it even made me want to be one...
7. I loved that even though they gave their life for other people, they enjoyed it. It was the thing that they loved the most. And still, they'd try to find time to do other things they enjoy. To look after themselves. Seonghwas love for camping and food. Jeongwons love for God and his mother. Junwans love for golfing and Iksun. Seonghyungs love for his time alone. Ikjuns love for his son and being a social butterfly.
I am running out of ideas. There are definitely more, but I did not actually planned this comment out so idk.
Well, I will patiently wait for the next season which is going to be the bomb too. Ah and also... I am going to wait for this to finally appear on Netflix so I can rewatch it :)

PS.: I recommended this to my mom and she rewatched it for like 4 times already. That I call success.

I gotta say, I enjoyed it very much! Especially Kang Min Hos character development (Jung Kyung Ho for LIFE). I have got to give credits for Kim Sung Jong though. She literally went through hell: her fiance died, she was lowkey bullied by her boss, then her childhood and best friend outted himself as a complete asshole, then she was loved by her boss, then she found out that all of that affection she has felt for him might have been because he has the heart of her fiance in his body, then she decides to love him nonetheless after he nearly died. Then she found out that the company she worked for her whole life might go bankrupt, then she found out that her friggin ex-bestfriend killed her fiance aka his best friend. And then her boyfriend nearly dies again. Bruv, respect. She has been an amazing female lead. An intelligent, sensitive, responsible women. I love her.
Tbh, I did not expect Joon Hee to be this much of an asshole. I mean he isn't even just an ass, he definitely has some psycho in him. When he said that it was BECAUSE he was best friend that he killed him, I was just so speechless. DuDE, he wanted to protect you from getting even more evil you dumbass. Greed indeed took over this guy and I am glad that he got his punishment. Though I wished Golden Partner to go down as well, so I guess Joon Hee words do have some truth in it. But even powerful people will someday get what they deserve.
Wendy and Tinkerbell, weird comparison, but their relationship was so legit and fun, ugh I just loved them separately so much, but together it is even better. The duo of Woo Shik and Minho is so iconic, make it into a trio with Wendy UNFORGETTABLE.

they made me want to dream

What a journey. It was amazing. It unexpectedly made me emotional and kind of teary-eyed. You know that feeling when something so amazing happens it feels like you could fly. Just like the name of the team "Dreams" it made me feel that again. Not just that, but the plot, execution, acting, writing, cinematography and OST were so well done. It was just perfect. You might think, "what a baseball drama??" and even without romance (damn there was no needed and I seriously did not wish for one), it was better than most of your "most popular" dramas. Even though this series is quite underrated in the international fanbase, it did quite well in korea, which I am so glad for. It deserves to be recognised. For anyone hesitating: DO NOT!


First off I'd like to say that this is one of the very few (maybe even the only one) dramas that I started watching when it was still ongoing and I finished it. I knew even before I clicked on the first episode that I would love this. But this exceeded my expectations and I couldn't asked for more.
It is not you typical kdrama, you can figure that out from the synopsis anyways, but it was a lot more emotional and idealistic than I'd expected. It was a perfect mix between logical, business-minded plot, but then they serve you a feast of idealistic mindsets and emotional reasoning. Just like how Baek Seung Soo structured his last presentation. It was beautiful. They are not just people that sell, buy and trade players. I don't like serious dramas that much, especially the ones that are some dramatic that I don't know what to feel anymore. But even though this was kind of serious, it had just the right amount of humour and hype without making it loose it's "flare".
Seeing the whole managing team develop from being moody, tired, miserable and hopeless to inspired, motivated and friendly, was so satisfying. The way Baek Seung Soo won every single one of them over slowly but surely. But let's talk about Baek Seung Soo. What a man. Nam Goong Min perfectly portrayed him, or even made him (!). He is a genius of few words, someone who works hard, but never brags or talks about it. Someone who is responsible and knows how to analyse data and work with it. He just knows how people work. But he wasn't perfect, and he changed for the better just like he changed Dreams. The subtle savageness of him, I will never forget. I have to say, I enjoyed Mr. Kwon's character a lot. He showed a lot of character development and the chemistry between him and Baek Seung Soo was so nice. I loved their small quarrels! (It was so cool to see that he and BSS are still "friends" after he resigned). Also, damn was that satisfying seeing him putting his uncle and cousin back to their places.
I don't think they could've chosen a better name for the team "Dreams" it sounds so grand and beautiful. They definitely made me feel that way. They went from being a hopeless team, to be a team of "Dreams". Even the word "Team" and "Dreams" sound similar, but I think I am interpreting too much here.
Even though they left me with a bittersweet feeling, because Baek Seung Soo couldn't stay with them, I am so okay with the fact that his "image" of bringing a team to victory and leaves, stays. Even if this image is sad, I can imagine him conquering another sports team.
Lee Jae Hoon's cameo was such a hype moment and boy it lasted for long! I loved that he played a quite important role and ugh I loved it.
Damn I am left so empty but satisfied, I think I might just rewatch it right now!

This is the proof that a simple, overdone story can still be amazing

Has this drama satisfied all my needs: Yes.
Has this drama over-satisfied my needs: YES.
Has this drama given you diabetes: Yes.
Damn. I loved it way too much! I was not sold at ALL when I first saw this coming out, last year, but damn I was bored as heck and needed a cute unproblematic romcom, in this quarantine situation and YES did it satisfy me! I was seriously taken aback at how much I just liked and loved everything! The main leads! The main leads TOGETHER! And hot damn, their KISSES! Kim Young Kwang as Do Min Ik YESSSS! Jeong Ga Heel is such a cute pie I loved her to bits. I know that this drama is not one of those that go down in history or rise up in ratings, but it is certainly underrated in a sense. I tend to easily get tired of a drama and drop it after a few ep, but I literally binged watched this in two days. Maybe it's because I dig romcoms, but the thing is this drama didn't excel in comedy, the romance was superb between the mains! (so much better than many other hotshot dramas out there upsi) But it was so lighthearted it felt so nice. Maybe I am getting old, but I sick of those overly used melodramas and tragedies. They don't do anything positive for me and my life.
Shoutout to the fact that there was no second lead! And NO LOVE TRIANGLE I MEAN!! One of a handful!
And shoutout to the fact that the main "antiprotagonist" wasn't bad at all. It was justified and very understandable. I am overlooking the "plot holes" since people tend to nickpick a lot and honestly compared to soooo many other popular dramas, these plot holes were minimal. And lastly shoutout to the fact that they made Do Mi Ik keep his illness. One half of me wanted to see a cliché healing wonder, but another half just wanted him to live with it for the rest of his life, which is way more realistic. And yes it happened (even though I don't know if those moments were he suddenly sees faces again for a longer period of time actually works). Imo it makes their relationship a bit more meaningful and those moments too. When he argued about how his illness has positive effects too I was lowkey impressed.


Satisfied the heck out of me. An underrated gem! Not life changing, but lighthearted, superb chemistry, bromance and womance! and damn satisfying, you don't ever want to eat sweets again. The main couple might just kill you with cuteness. Enjoyed every bit!
P.S.: Kim Young Kwang will make you fall in love with him, be prepared. And also Jin Ki Joo, she's so adorable.

I don't know why but I enjoyed this drama so much. This is even my second time watching it. I guess I do get why some people might not like it as much, and I agree that the show has parts were it is lacking. But I cannot overlook all the things they did right!! I liked their relationship, I loved how she embraced him and that there wasn't that typical miscommunication, "i am so disappointed that you lied to me and deceived me"-drama. Fun Hwan Gi's character is definitely the highlight and the best thing about this show. The character itself is so relatable for introverts and so unique in this kdrama world, it's wonderful to see someone like him come to life on screen. Though I have to say, it wasn't just pure shyness in the beginning, it was literally a phobia, social anxiety, something that is way more serious than introverted-ness. Anyway, the actor did such an amazing job at portraying him, I seriously in my head there is a Eun Hwan Gi out there in the world. It was that good and natural. I cannot stop appreciating the fact that EHG, did not change much and that he stayed true to himself and his character traits, they didn't change him and i LOVED THAT! He is still shy, still does not like talking in front of many people, is still super considerate and still overthinks in his head. This show doesn't tell you to change. It tells you to find a way in order to live more comfortably. To live proudly as who you are. I also loved how he understands and appreciates that every person is different and how everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. He understands that and helps his employees be more confident and thus work more efficiently. He might just be one of my favourite drama protagonists ever!

Definitely watch it if you are hesitating!
This was so much better than anticipated. I was hesitating, because of the AI-theme again, and also there weren't many familiar faces. But damn, I loved every single bit. Especially the first half of the episodes, I binged them in one go and yes I was very very VERY invested in all of the characters. Though it's not like the story is legendary, or something like a masterpiece, it was executed in a way that's so pleasing and satisfying for the viewers. You can say it was a very pleasant ride. Even though I wished for more coupley moments between the leads, the ending was still very good and wrapped up nicely unlike many other dramas.
Kudos to the leads though! I didn't know them, and it seems like they are pretty new or unknown (turned out they weren't I just didn't know them), but they certainly delivered!! I fell for them harder every episode. Loved Seyeon, she was incredibly relatable and not annoying at all. Nando was a fun character to see, I loved the way he slowly fell for Seyeon and his jealousy haha. And Holo! We LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!
All in all, I can definitely say that I will someday crave this drama again, and might even rewatch!

I have to say, even though I expected a bit more it was still an interesting ride. I don't think I have ever seen a kdrama, where the both leads (1st and 2nd) were the opposite gender but were not in a romantic relationship (except for Chief Kim, but the female lead wasn't really the second lead but more like the third lead, so basically the leads were both make in that one). I started this thinking we'd see Rain and Oh Yeon Seo in a romantic relationship but I am quite satisfied with their bromance (?). To be honest, sometimes the plot wasn't that planned or written out well, it felt messy at times and I skipped a lot, but I was still curious of what would happen, so that's a positive thing.
The actors did a great job though. I am honestly surprised at Rain's actin skills, he should definitely do more romcoms, it suits him incredibly well!
The ending scene was such an unexpected but cute scene that made my heart wrench a bit. I really ship Young Soo and Da Hye. And btw tht y'all notice that Seung Jae's wallpaper on his phone showed him and his mom and his mom was Maya! (but then i'd be weird if she fangirled about him, except she forgot who she was in her past life/she pretended)
All in all, in my opinion this show is very unique in it's character constellation and especially the chemistry between them.
