That makes a lot of sense. I didn't remember seeing a scene about him panicking about that. I must have missed it... but even just him paying so much attention to her now makes more sense if this is what went down. I was thinking he didn't "do" anything but by not saving KI when he had a chance to, he still felt responsible for his death and YY's current situation(I am assuming she was a little more together before the accident). I am wondering if his father thinks he knows who is ultimately responsible and is getting in position(getting involved with the orchestra) to take revenge, or if he himself was somehow involved.

thank you.

When I started this, I did not realize it was still airing. I hate waiting to find out what happens next.
Not sure quite how to express this...
When I first started the drama, I didn't really know what to expect, but I thought with a name like Fake Affair, it would be a funny romcom with misunderstandings or contract relationships... but instead it is dealing with the serious topic of actual extra-marital affairs and illness. Given the topics, (and the fact that I normally avoid them like the plague)it should feel heavy to me, but it doesn't. It still feels sweet and hopeful. Every episode feels emotionally satisfying to me. Depending on how it ends, I believe I will be recommending this one to friends.

where did you watch this?

Is this ever coming out? Have they started filming it yet?

Since the whole series is about a girl with amnesia finding her memory, I am surprised you are watching at all.... and even if a person dies, she still has amnesia.

I am really worried right now. Please say they are not killing off a character midway through the drama.

He used his name to jog her memory, I think. ... Well, at first I think it was to see if she would have a reaction. Originally he thought she might be faking the amnesia, I believe.

I am a big believer in not wasting my time on dramas I don't love. I often drop dramas mid 1st episode. If I get further and it starts losing my interest, I give it one more week to pull me in again. I rarely put things on hold. From there, I usually go straight to drop, if I am not loving it. Hold is the kiss of death for me. I know if I am in the mood for a drama, I will pick something new before going back to a drama too boring for me to finish in the first place. lol. There are a few exceptions... one being City Hunter. I dropped that one, during the 1st episode, not once but twice. I only tried the 3rd time because it was recommended highly by someone I trusted. She told me to at least give it a couple episodes. I think it was around ep 3 that it had completely caught my interest.

Oooo, really enjoying the lead couple's story. I love complicated relationships and this is definitely one. Looking forward to tomorrows episode. I wonder if the tone will start to change now.

One of the things that Kdramas do best is mixing genres. It has definitely had a romcom feel, so far... but the beginning narration told you that This is not a romance, it is a journey. I personally love complicated love relationships, so I am so shipping the lead couple even if she did killed his brother. I was a major fan of Let's Eat and I get why you would make the comparison, since one of the main lead's was also a suspect during that. I think this one has a little more emphasis on the mystery than LE did though. I personally still have too many suspects to feel like I have it all figured out. Other than the leading man and Maestro, I am not familiar with any of the other actor/actresses... but so far, I really like the lead actress. It didn't even occur to me that acting might not be her main gig.

Wow! I am never really sure what a good viewership number is. If that is high, it is very well deserved. I assume it was the director's decision to do that slow mo walk toward the camera/or still on the "watcher", so atm I am giving him credit for it... who ever it was, Genius! It was good all round with soundtrack, acting, directing, and although it got a little messy at times, the writing too. I will definitely recommend this drama.

I don't remember who the person was that got killed. Do we know the significance of that? It was that prosecutor that did it, right? Because the new organization is supposed to be a joint effort with the prosecutors office, it makes sense to me that the next big bad will be a prosecutor, if there is a season 2... what do you think?

I definitely noticed that Jdramas tend to be darker/less naive/more jaded in their outlooks, than their Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese counterparts.

It is not my usual genre. I am a romcom addict. The fluffier the better. Still, this drama really impressed me. I want to put it on one of my custom lists, to recommend later... but I don't think I have a list that this drama would suit.

Calling a women with extreme low self esteem "stupid" and "pathetic" and "weak". Really? Bully much? This is one of the reasons so many people do not come forward about suffering abuse, because people are so ready to blame the victim. ... and how do abusers justify their actions? By blaming the victim.
I have to say, that this is not my usual genre. I am a romcom addict. I like a good comedy.
Imo, it was a daring character and story to write. I am impressed that it never felt too heavy, despite the serious topic. Hoshina was a preditor. He exploited her issues. You see the harsh reality of where a relationship like this would lead. The Hotta and Yoshizaki characters are heaven sent. They are so patient and kind to the leading lady. They are exactly the kind of supportive friends she needs.

Early on, I considered the possibility that Kim Ian had attacked her and she stabbed in self defense. ... now that you mention it, It would kind of make sense that Kim Ian's dad would have a reason to cover it up without putting the blame on Yi Young if that was the case.
I just don't think that is where the drama is going though...
Another good point about her best friend not knowing anything about her being in a relationship, if she was in fact dating Kim Ian and as close as the pictures suggest. So... what if she was just his assistant and he was dating someone else altogether? If the significant other was the one there and taking the photos, they could have jokingly appeared to be so close in the photos. Here is a theory that someone else brought up, what if Kim Ian was gay and his lover was the Maestro. The father might have a motive to cover up everything, to keep the press from finding out his son was gay.

I am glad to see that a lot of others are just as interested in the mystery as I am.

Ah, they do keep showing that ring. I didn't even consider it to be a couple ring. If it is, I think we will see the other one pop up, sooner or later. Either in Yi Youngs possession or someone else... It might explain a lot, if Maestro was bi-sexual and was in a couple with Kim Ian. I somehow can see him wanting to be close to someone that was also close to Kim Ian and also why the violinist would understand why he would be drawn to another pianist that played like him as well. It's not my top theory though. I keep wondering if the Maestro has a thing for Yi Young or if he is watching after her out of some kind of guilt? So far, I don't get the impression that he is just keeping tabs on her.

Agree, there are still so many possibilities here.
I think many of these clues that have been dropped could be red herrings meant to misdirect the audience.
There are still plenty of episodes left. Too many possible surprises that can come up. I don't think we have enough info to go on yet.
