As sweet as this drama still is, the angst is starting to kill me lol.

I don't think the beginning of this show was the best. They basically introduced 10 possible villains all at once, and very few characters were actually likeable. But a lot of the characters quickly started to develop/ reform after that, and while it's arguably rather predictable, I do think it has gotten more interesting and enjoyable because of that (though I enjoyed it from the very beginning).

After 5 episodes, I'm pleasantly surprised at how things are developing. Most characters have had some much needed development, making them more interesting and likeable as a result. Though while Yakushiji certainly seems like he's grown a bit compared to the start, I'm still waiting for his big moment.

Yeah, based on the episode 5 preview, we're definitely gonna cry next week.

I was actually wondering how the manga did that (mostly because I was initially worried they were gonna do it at the end of ep. 2/ start of ep. 3, and it just would've felt wrong then).

Idk how the manga handled it, but with how inexperienced she is, I'm glad they decided to wait. Probably not the most realistic thing, but we're going for sweet romance, not 100% accuracy.

The thing that truly gets me is that Moon So-ri wasn't even nominated when they could've nominated her for both Tangerines and Jeongnyeon.

I've been wondering if and how the last ex-wife was gonna pop up, and I love how she just kinda pops up for a few seconds out of nowhere. There's no big drama there, because there shouldn't be. It's just about Gi-jun finding closure, which just feels right, as this is very much a healing drama.

Honestly, the romance is suspicious. Hospital Playlist thrived on slowburns that often didn't fully reveal itself until the end. Something about the possible I Yeong/ Do Won pairing just feels too obvious and fast (like, that episode 3 preview?).

I just don't get his logic here? Ignoring everything else: if he really didn't date her when she was a minor, as he constantly keeps claiming, why lie about the relationship in the first place? Why would it derail QoT if you're supposedly so innocent? Why lie if you're innocent? Why lie if you have nothing to hide? Didn't he also claim that he was actually concerned about her? So why lie? His whole story just doesn't hold up. If you keep lying about something and only admit it when you literally had no other choice, that to me says that you actually have something you're trying to hide.

I mean, they're obviously being ambiguous on purpose here. From the love song a few episodes ago, to the "my love", to even what the actors are saying. The drama basically asks you to read between the lines. Is there really a reason why these things are there if they're not supposed to make you think in a certain direction?

I know you need to convince people to watch the finale, but maybe don't spoil what is most likely the very last scene in the preview?

Funny how Hae-seong said that you can change the genre in the middle of the story, because based on the preview, that's exactly what's happening next week.

But that's an even bigger problem? Because then he just willingly screwed over the person he supposedly likes, while she gets no say in the matter, all the way making things easier on himself when he's already in a position of power.

Okay, but can we undo the firing before they actually get together? That's like my one annoyance. Like, at least his initial firing had logic behind it, but then actually forwarding that to Ki-se after him and MK grew closer is quite cruel. Like, I'm not sure if this was even necessary to get the "mixed signals" point across, but whatever. I hope they actually deal with this instead of ignoring it.

This is my pet peeve with boss-employee romances, because it doesn't exactly do the power dynamics any good if the boss can just kinda fire the employee whenever he feels like it. If there's logic behind it, you can at least explain it, as was the case initially. But if you do it just because you can't handle your own feelings, that's kind of a problem.

Okay, but the song choice during that Ye-na & Yoo-young scene? Drama, is there something you're trying to tell me?

I swear, I just can't stand Ki-se. And why does every woman in his life want nothing to do with him? What the heck did he do?

To get at her father (she says this in episodes 8 & 14). Much like Seul-gi had seen Ye-ji during her dad's funeral at the hospital, Ye-ji had seen her as well.

Yes, that was her dream.

I mean, assumptions are just part of the deal. The drama gave us a happy ending, even if it's not 100% ideal. What happens after that are all assumptions, as is always the case. Like, we all assume Je-yi and Seul-gi will meet again, the specifics don't really matter because we know they'll find a way.

Maybe we could've gotten more on the sister, but she wasn't a main character, so she wasn't really a priority. She's alive, that's the most important thing. The dad being free makes total sense, even if everybody hates it. There was just no realistic way for him to suddenly get a life sentence. So yeah, they'll have to work around him, that's just the non-ideal part of the ending.

1. It's not a farewell gift, it's the opposite.
2. He'll give up eventually, and it's not like he can follow her around 24/7. They'll just have to be creative and outsmart him. Don't worry about it, they'll figure it out.
3. Probably getting professional help since her father basically lobotomized her.

What Je-yi did was also in big part for herself. She wanted to be free, and that was the only way she knew how. She probably also knew herself that her dad would just get out, hence why she did what she did. There was no way to get him for the murder of Seul-gi's dad since he didn't actually kill anyone, so he was always gonna get out again, and that's just the sad truth. Also Je-yi can just change her identity I guess. She's nothing if not creative, so she'll manage.

Depends what you expect. If you're expecting explicit confessions, you won't get it. But, like, Seul-gi literally dreams of making out with Je-yi. That scene is literally there to tell you that this isn't platonic. If at the end of the drama you still don't believe that their dynamic is romantic, then you probably won't believe it until they're literally having sex on-screen.

Do remember that this was never a romance drama, so if you're expecting romance in the traditional sense, or a traditional romantic happy ending, you'll be disappointed. However, I would still say their ending is romantic, and it is happy (& open), but it's not gonna be 100% the ending you want.
