i think all those who are hating on the drama bc of the writing from episode 16 onwards are not melodrama lovers/appreciators... while things took a turn, i believe the plot from ep 15-16 onwards is necessary to drive the drama, if not it would be too simple and unrealistic... just my opinion!! currently at episode 25 and enjoying it for all the good chemistry and tension between the lead couple :)

ohh so one of the eyes he has now is just for aesthetics as it is blind?

i thought li xun assaulted fang zhijing pretty badly such that his left eye was removed and thus partially blinded? How is it that 3 years later, FZJ looks perfectly normal and eyesight completely restored lol... was hoping to see an eye patch as a sign of his grudge against li xun forever lol

the perfect lighthearted and fluffy romcom, i love how it was well paced and not draggy at all too!! but one thing i dont get is why didnt the ML give the FL the key necklace (the one he confessed to her with when they first met)? there was a scene in the last ep showing him opening the box containing it with his lock necklace, so i was anticipating him giving it to her again for closure... but nope he decided to give her a boring diamond necklace lol????

ok perhaps he wanted to keep the lock and key necklaces to remember their first meeting and failed confession but i thought it would be more impactful and meaningful to give it to her instead of the diamond necklace lol...

hahahaha true points but i think this is just meant to be a lighthearted romcom, so the grandma's redemption arc coming too easily was part of it unfortunately... like yea i agree how can years of trauma be resolved so easily right LOL but it's a drama afterall :p

hahaha thanks! yea he fell for her but she didn't fall for him at first sight, so it was one-sided romance for him initially and hence a friendship haha

i like how poetic the show is, such that they got to know each other in the spring and got together in the next spring - but can someone refresh my memory, was it 1 or 2 springs later LOL i lost track of time just watching their friendship blossom into a romantic relationship hahaha

he suye is just green flags all over HELP in what universe would there be such a kind and considerate guy like him T.T

cool!! thought so too. thanks for sharing this (:

Just realized that this drama is adapted from the same writer of the web novel for Hidden Love, so no wonder the names of the characters overlap (e.g. sang yan and duan jiaxu). felt so strange hearing their names but acted by diff actors lol i wonder if in the web novel world they are actually connected?

i felt so cheated by their ending though T.T

am i the only one who enjoyed watching the secondary couple lol... it was such an interesting dynamic

yeah agreed with most of the replies here - as a friend, you'd still hope your friend wouldn't have to "suffer" with a single dad partner since he has a kid and as the prospective partner, you'd have to take care of the kid too, and have an early headstart without asking for it. nevertheless i think she'd come around soon after seeing how kind eunho is and how his daughter gets along SO WELL with her!!!

also oof just realized that han ji min is playing the role of the FL falling for a single dad again (previously seen in 'one spring night' too) and the same societal perspective of that being frowned upon is reflected again... really tragic that korean society seems to be quite hard on single parents - that they're a burden and of a lower social status just because of their child(ren) :/

lol unfortunately i think this is quite likely, there'll always be some dilemma/challenge that will come in their way shortly after the main couple gets together, the usual kdrama romcom trope ><

i'm all for this green flag ML :))))))

Yes true, she was so obsessively controlling of her partners, that she lost it when jeongwon started to drift from her. however you got me thinking - is it because it's a marriage contract and thus that gives her the assurance that nothing can come out of it, hence that gave her a sense of control? i'll need to refresh my memory as to whether the contract couple are allowed to extend the contract duration or convert it to a real marriage though...

i still don't get why seo yeon chose in ji as jeong won's contract wife - she pointed to that past incident where in ji offered him some cheap slippers at his graduation ceremony (after coming from the graveyard) but so what? is it that in ji felt like a rival to her then and thus made her feel more strongly attracted to him? like she felt jealous that someone cared for jeong won and thus she took out a nicer pair of shoes for him, and that made her feel useful to him? it felt so warped and superficial, and also for seo yeon to remember in ji just from that 1 superficial encounter after all these years felt a bit too unbelievable.

i second this!! there was so much built up mystery about the trunk, the marriage contract company, the murder... but in the end it was all pushed to the periphery and the main plot became the 2 dysfunctional couples. but yes, thumbs up to the main leads for such a compelling relationship, two broken souls mending each other's wounds and destined to be tgt from the start!

Thanks for your reply! Ok I didn’t think so much abt him being a psychopath since I thought he had some reasons for targeting her, but that makes sense now!

As for the second point, i think both options would make sense anyway, as they both save each other at some point in their lives
