what her wrongdoing you talked about?

from the trailer i expect this drama gonna be typical romcom.

well, it turns out it beyond my expectation. It extraordinary, and impressive.

what??? Ho-Jin is finally honest about his feeling to Ji-Seon, he literally is about to moving on to Mu-Hee, that is what happened in episode 06. When he is still have discussion with Ji-Seon, he left Ji-Seon after he saw Mu-Hee leaving the room.

second part of this drama is about him willingly available for her. He willingly learn to know her. In 2nd part of the drama, there is no more Ji-Seon in his thought, nor Mu-Hee's feeling that he still think about Ji-Seon.

What you think as "he doesn't convince me enough whether he is really emotionally available for her" is his overly melancholy, and overthinking behavior. Ep 06 is him already move-on, and to begin to learn about Mu-Hee.

one kiss with camera close up and he ate her lips, left no crumbs

its a melodrama with really deep thinking of understanding. it's not rom-com, or typical rom-com of Kdrama.

The trailer can gave us wrong impression, and set wrong expectation.

yeah overly melancholy of Ho-Jin, and his overthinking behavior really annoyed me.

But like you said, first part of the drama exploring different things about them.
First part is about their connection, interaction, and finally Ho-Jin's iniative to learn about Mu-Hee.
Second part is about their past trauma or their unresolved past, then how they heal from it. (this part is when they learn to know eachother).

If we pay attention to their story, we will understand why Ho-Jin is overly melancholy and indecisive. He think in a realistic ways, and many times overplanning something, overthinking. He will learn through Mu-Hee.

Do Rami is alcohol version of this drama.
In many Kdrama, when sober and they can't say something, sometimes they use alcohol as a way to make the character to tell their hidden thought.

I like author Kim's words to Ho-Jin.
He said something like this : "there are as many languange exist as many as human population, because every person have their own languange."
So to understand someone, it's like studying languange, we need to learn about them. I think it's after this word then Ho-Jin started to learn to know Mu-Hee

then Do Rami is their interpreter when Ho-Jin and Mu-Hee lost in translation.

try episode 1 yourself.

me myself cant contain not to peek episode 2, when im just peek it, then it easily went to next episodes, and the next, and the next, in the end im consumed all 12 in a night.

for me, the drama is entertaining.
it's not typical Kdrama that have romance and comedy in it. This one is melodrama with some heavy understanding from the middle. some comments called it dragging.

their chemistry is off the roof.

you're not the first one asking about that convo in ep06

completely agree to disagree.

i'm among those who admiring (almost) everyhing from this drama.
some scenes maybe too slow, i do skip it, but every part is necessary to tell the story. i didn't feel dragged. well, that me personally. really my opinion.

I think the number of episodes is just perfect as it is.
It focusing to both lead's journey. It didn't felt dragged like some people's comment here.

SML presence is strongly annoy you later on

definetely among my legend list

yeah, im annoyed to him when leaving her near that railtrack

their interaction really is good from the start

just adding, that the middle part where people called dragging, just like you said, for Mu Hui to understand herself and her trauma, but also function for Hu-Jin to understand her through Do Ra-Mi.

he is the one who know her, in the end it make him the only one who can help Mu-Hui

yes, and yes their chemistry is good, just less screentime

he thought that she approached her just to fullfill her curiosity. toying with him, not so serious, not really genuine feeling.

like a trophy to win.

while for him, he just started to open his heart. so yes, there is miss match in their interpreting.

i think the Do Rami part is the genius idea of the writer, they still keep the twist about her till the very end.

i thought it'll be nothing to reveal in the last episode, but wow, the writer keep on surprising me

if they released it weekly, they need to keep us hanging in every episode's ending.

this dump all episode at once gave a proper storytelling, and pace.
at least it work for this drama, and for me

goddd, when Mu-Hui started to remember it, when the screen turn to grey and she walk her past memory with him, when she started crying it made me cry too
