Yes, but he doesn't have a lot of screen time. It's mostly the two leads.

I think the problem is mainly that there's just not much plot in the drama? Like the entire story is basically just the fake marriage and Do-han's secret. They've hardly developed the families and there are few side plots. So because the story is so "small", it feels like it's taking a long time to just get anywhere. I don't know why they decided to wait so long for Ji-han to learn the truth; I think the drama could've been better if they had sorted out that between the three of them earlier on, like episode 6/7, so they would've had more time to focus on how to deal with the family. Now it just feels inevitable that the last episodes will be rushed.

I don't know, it just feels like the writers messed up. Having Ah-jung and Ji-han confess and have these moments *before* Ji-han knows that the marriage is fake just leaves a poor taste in my mouth. So you're hooking up with your brother's fiancée? You're okay with her (seemingly) cheating on him? It would've worked a lot better if they revealed the contract marriage before all this. Because now it's like, well am I supposed to root for anyone in this drama? Do-han maybe, despite his self-pity and somewhat selfish actions borne out of fear of not being accepted. But it's messy writing that has left me unsatisfied.

I found Do-han's five minutes of screentime in ep 9 more interesting than anything with the main couple, as their scenes didn't feel earned. Which is really not where you want to be with just 3 episodes left.

Moon Sang-min hasn't had an off moment this entire drama. He's a star.

Can't wait to see him in Hierarchy. 😁

Poor actress is being typecast as someone viewers want to slap 😅

I'm impressed by the use of music in this drama. I don't mean the OSTs (though they are also fantastic), but the instrumentals they use and how they fit what's happening. Like the fantasy when Hae-in shoots Hyun-woo and it sounds like a riff on James Bond . Or when Hyun-woo's family in the village are having a standoff with another family and they're playing cowboy music, like there's gonna be a duel 🤣

Anyone saying he's happy she's dying must be watching with their eyes closed. The drama is very clear about how he really feels. Which is used for comedic effect to great success, as Hyun-woo tries to convince himself his heart is racing for other reasons than his feelings for Hae-in.

Based on the real-time rating for yesterday's episode and what it ended up with from Nielsen, ep 6 could hit 15%, I think. Probably not much higher. We'll see.

I swear some people just want sweet romance between the leads for 90 minutes every episode with no conflict whatsoever and no screen time for any side characters.

The real-time TV ratings suggest a new record for episode 6, but we'll have to wait 7 hours for Nielsen.

Then this isn't for you. Park Ji-eun doesn't write fluff. Dramas like these need conflict and villains; most people don't just want to watch sweet romance. That gets real boring and draggy fast.

I can't remember the last time I watched a drama with such a perfect, memorable OST. It's on repeat. They've truly made an effort with all aspects of this drama, and it's all coming together wonderfully.

There is a week after the drama ends before Midnight Romance in Hagwon starts, so maybe the special will air in that week, after all the regular episodes have aired. It is a bit unclear.

His team is already on it, checking the facts. Should be an update soon.

No, it was after it had aired. We also don't know if it is a "scandal" or just someone proven unstable in the past trying to get attention. They were label mates in the past before her contract was terminated/not renewed after her DUI, so her having old selfies of them is hardly unexpected. Whether it was attempted revenge for Gold Medalist dropping her or something else, who knows. Maybe she or his team will clarify tomorrow.

What did you expect in a drama about a marriage crisis 💀

The TV rating for episode 5 is out: 11%. Up from last Saturday (9.6%), down from last Sunday (13%). Generally Sunday episodes achieve higher ratings, so we'll see if episode 6 will be up from last Sunday.

He made a joke about this when he himself was in his 20s. People will take anything out of context and pretend it was a super serious statement.
