With the real-time rating hitting 38%, I wonder if it could beat CLOY's finale rating of 21.7% already. 😱

20%+ secured 😍

It just hasn't been announced yet. I thought it would be Viki since it was originally meant to be a Monday-Tuesday drama (then got shifted to weekend when they had to postpone the Hospital Playlist spinoff). But maybe it'll be Netflix instead now that it's a weekend drama like QOT.

It's a noona romance; he's supposed to look younger than her.

I do think it'll go up more, but mostly because the Wonderful World finale finished strong at 9.2% (up from 6.8% last Saturday), which probably stole some viewers from QOT. Would be great to hit 20% already!

I think they start wearing their rings again, so that should help.

Not necessarily. Last Saturday episode (ep 9) was up 2.74% on the Sat before, while last Sunday episode (ep 10) was up 2.81% on the Sun before. Almost identical.

The ep 12 prerelease is out. They're so cute. I get you, Hae-in😭

I don't think they intended for it to be surprising, or they wouldn't have telegraphed it from the start with dialogue/out of focus effect or made it obvious with the cars. To me it seemed the intention was we were meant to know that something was not right, and that Hae-in was likely having some kind of episode, whether dreaming/hallucinating or something else.

You seem to have misunderstood a confusing translation. The disappointment is referring to the fact that the drama will have ended, not that the ending itself, story-wise, is disappointing.

Nielsen ratings are out:
Episode 11 got 16.8% (+1.2% from last Saturday) - new Sat peak!
If Sunday's episode goes up by the same amount, we will hit 20%. 🤞
(It could rise more as ep 11 was against the Wonderful World finale)

I think they said he wants to buy more shares to solidify his position. They are feeling vulnerable, especially after the disastrous press conference he held with Haein.

Hopefully we won't have to wait another four years for the next Park Jieun drama

Kwak Dongyeon was low-key the MVP in this episode. Such a funny and charming performance. Soocheol carefully assembling meat and lettuce on a stick for Haein made me emotional 😭

Looks like another Saturday peak in the tv ratings, though it wasn't much higher than last week. I'm guessing some prioritized watching the Wonderful World finale. Still hoping to hit 20% tomorrow!

Soocheol’s hatred for coriander/cilantro is so relatable. Tastes like soap. The worst!

At least the fact that many seem to think she might die shows the writer is doing her job, not making it too predictable. We’ll know in a couple of weeks. I for one will be waiting for a scene of them decorating a new nursery again, with glow in the dark stars in the ceiling.

I wouldn’t agree in this case. The healing process is already well underway. The leads finding their way back to each other, the Hong family starting to face their past loss and patching things up, trying to find a way forward. On a storytelling level it would make no sense in this context for Hae-in to die. It would basically mean the entire thing was in vain for the couple, and the Hongs would lose another child, reopening old wounds and leaving them shattered. I see a baby for Baekhong as much, much more likely considering the miscarriage storyline (which is clearly far from fully dealt with).

It was the wake-up call she needed to start mending their relationship, yes. Grief can make you do terrible things, and I’m sure Hae-in will take her time to truly forgive. But acting like her mom is somehow beyond redemption is arguably worse in my view than accepting her apologies too swiftly.

It’s quite clear in terms of the storytelling that this isn’t a tragedy, but a drama about healing. It’s there in the synopsis above and it’s there in almost every scene of the drama.
