thanks for your replies! agreed on those points, especially since it's fictional after all !!

I'd rate this 8/10 because it was exciting to watch all the way but there are so many loopholes!! Leaving all the loopholes i can't get over here, feel free to respond to any if you have any satisfying explanations lol:

1. When Do hee witnessed Gu won doing his 'deal making' for the first time, she went into grave shock (bc he was very merciless to the victim) and distanced herself from him (tgt with the discovery that he also made a deal with her dad) - erm she alr knew that he makes deals to survive, so why so shocked all of a sudden lol.

2. Gu won continues to live as a demon but only does deals with scumbags (whom he deems deserve to go to hell) - does this not make Do hee uncomfortable lol your husband is sending ppl to hell... how is that diff from her shock in (1) lol...

3. Confusing portrayal of religions in the drama - if you're gonna adopt the Catholic worldview then there shouldn't be reincarnation (as in how the 2 main leads knew each other from their past lives). also the Catholic God is not a mere observer with no emotions (as portrayed in this drama) but one with compassion and emotions...

4. How is it that a demon seeks help from God (whom he rebelled against and shd be in constant hostility towards) and even have a friendly relationship (as seen from the ending where Gu won tells god that she shd hire him as her helper, and he also thanks her for rescuing him from eternal destruction).

5. Gu won perished because he brought a human back to life (according to the manual, a demon perishes if he does that or kills a human) - he recited Philippians 4:13 ("I can do all things through Him who gives me strength"), showing his faith in God - shouldn't this remove his demon status lol and make him human or go to heaven? lol

6. A demon does not have emotions, they just keep making deals - they make this clear in the first few eps. However Gu won has all the emotions a human has when he meets Do hee - at first this was because he was losing his powers as his tattoo got transferred to Do hee, and he started becoming more 'human'. However, after he got back his tattoo, his emotions lingered?? doesnt make sense

my exact thoughts!! moreover in the 2nd or 3rd last ep we see Do hee being so shocked and devastated when she witnessed Gu won doing one of his deals so mercilessly - and yet now she is ok to live on with the fact that he is still doing that every night (albeit this time only making deals with scumbags but still) lol. i was hoping they'd just make him a human after violating all the rules as a demon (moreover he still has emotions and feelings like humans do - contrary to when it was explained in the first few eps that demons don't feel anything, and Gu won only started feeling things when he lost his tattoo). so many loopholes but ok it was still a good watch, closing one eye and letting it go lol

i believe her when she says she didn't break up with him bc he was poor, but because they BOTH were poor and not getting anywhere + he is too much of an idealist to not be able to be sensitive to her needs (her head was looking down to the ground all the time while he was dreaming of building his own company). but then again, it's just a mini drama, i let it go hahahaha

EXACTLY she needs to find herself BY herself. face palm. if they wanted to show them end up tgt in the end they could have just let her go on her solo trip, put a fast forward 1 year later scene to them finding each other again or smth. lol

Same!! Although I wish they didn’t hint earlier on abt his bad side. Would have made an interesting plot twist when he eventually betrays her ><

Yea towards the end of ep 2, they showed him looking at Mirae F&B’s financials with a sinister look lol

is seok hoon really on do hee's side?? i recall in one of the earlier episodes that they showed an ambiguous side of him (possibly also a sociopath) but other than that he seems to always be on her side??

Yes i travel solo a lot and enjoy having meals by myself - of course i enjoy doing both of these with a friend too - but both enrich the soul in different ways. i wouldn't discount the confidence that doing things by yourself gives! but i understand everyone is wired differently and perhaps HS (or you) are more suited to be with a companion, won't argue with that!

As for the ML, i believe he stuck out with his cheating gf not because he was afraid of being alone but it was for 2 main reasons which was revealed in the drama: (1) he did not want to hurt her by confronting her about it - he rather the truth come from her (by confronting her about it before she told him abt it, she would be hurt by the knowledge that he had knowingly suffered for the 1 year of her cheating) and (2) he always suppressed his emotions as a trauma response of living with his mother - frustrated by her frivolous and irresponsible lifestyle, he learned to avoid confrontation/emotions and went into escapism (since he learned that she is too stubborn and prideful and won't change, he can only change the way he deals with her), which made him very stoic and cold to the people around him (and have a bleak outlook on life). So yeah, i feel that it has nothing to do with being afraid to live alone!

i feel that it's not that she should be single forever, but enjoy being single first (and the solitude that comes with it) and loving herself for who she is, being comfortable not depending on someone for joy, enjoying doing things by herself, for herself - before she gets into a relationship and loses herself in it.

yea this totally! they also provided some closure on some stuff that was briefly touched on in the drama and the special ep which made it really sweet/bittersweet

i've watched it twice and feel like watching this movie as an adaptation of the drama makes more sense than watching it as a sequel to the movie. thoughts?

yah!! but i thought it was so underwhelming though, it set us up for some cuteness overload but the way some of the romance scenes were filmed were so awkward and cringey, if not for the chemistry i would have dropped it T.T

Yea I thought so too but those bruises don’t disappear within a month though… and it can’t be longer than a month since La Shou doesn’t have much time left. But ok it’s a drama, usually a divorce settlement (Yu Han’s) isn’t settled so quickly in a month either so just gonna turn a blind eye to it haha

Erm the bruises on Yuhan disappeared real fast in ep 9 (disappeared after they met as a group after La Shou managed to get her parents' approval + the wedding) lol

I like how you interpreted the nuances of the bite, yea it totally made him feel oddly special, but it was nice nevertheless that he recognised that they have a special relationship. Hahaha yes all the individuals (including us) are definitely works in progress!

In episode 4, there is a flashback scene which showed the FL biting the ML’s arm back in their schooling days, and the ML smirked when his friends said they had never been bitten by her before - I suppose he smirked because he felt special for being treated that way, like as if being bitten is a sign of endearment? However does anyone also find this a little psychotic as the bite was rather deep (he bled a bit and the bite mark is quite gross, unlike a love bite) rather than playful? Or anyone have any insights on why he smirked??

Ah no wonder! I tried just “아무도 모르게 조금씩” and couldn’t get anything f either! Thanks! this made my day (:

OMG life saviour, thank you so much!! How did you find it?

trying my luck on this but anyone knows what is the song played in episode 3 by the DJ before he ran off to the toilet and the couple's bickering is broadcasted to the whole school? lol it starts with something like "아무로 모르게 조금씩 다가와" but I can't find it no matter how much i google it! much appreciated!!
