Haven't watched it but based on all the comments I've seen so far and other research, this is what I found:
The drama goes for the coma/ dream approach just like in SOOY but she doesn’t reunite with the ML most viewers were rooting for once she wakes up (apparently there were multiple love interests) since he was a character created by the FL to help her cope with her traumatic past.
The purpose of the dream life is to use her experience in her dream life to create a better future for herself in real life…kind of move forward from her trauma?
I guess you need to be in the right mindset to watch it since watching 30 episodes only to find out everybody you saved is still dead once you wake up, it feels kind of pointless IMO - perhaps will try later 🫠

Ah sorry I thought you asked the other user about "Scent of Time"s ending 🙈
I agree with you about being prepared in advance. Since I found out about Scent of Time's ending before stsrting SOOY (AND I'm still mad about TTEOTM's ending), I'm quite content with the way SOOY ended- specially since we have 2 endings to choose from.
My only gripe is with Gao's death. The rest of the lost work can be recovered somehow since the MC are truly dedicated, the ML still has most of his connections, and the FL's app idea and her research exists in the real world to a certain extent...but Gao's death cannot be reversed 🥲
(That being said, I'd totally hate this ending if it was a Kdrama or Jdrama)
**** About the kisses- haha their kisses did tend to "buffer" at times but their overall chemistry made up for it 🤭
You are partially right- they end with a knowing smile and they interact with eachother (the writer used a clever…
Hey not sure if you already watched it till the end but personally I think the closest to a perfect ending is the actual ending 🙈
The thing is even with the mortal 3rd arc, throughout most of ep 30-32, you have many hints enough to guess how the mortal arc will end 🥲. If you are able to ignore these clues, you can stop at ep 33- 16:05mins ( their wedding night).
The drama ends with a happy ending- there is no final kiss or hug but they give eachother a knowing smile, implying that the reality from ep 1 before the accident is now yet another new lifetime for them to reunite again (with their memories in tact but no super villains other than office life).

Haven't watched it but based on all the comments I've seen, they don't get together in" real life". Think this is true because I saw another comment here on SOOY where they said that they were happy that at least in here both remembered eachother unlike in Scent of Time🙈
(This was in my watch list too but ended up dropping it due to all the 😭😭😭 in the comments section)
I was really looking forward to this. And then I heard about the ending. Ouch. Is this somehow still worth watching?
Yes, if you are in to youth/ second chance dramas. If you do not want the censorship ending, you can still have a perfect ending if you stop at the 32.58ish minute mark in ep 23 :)
Perhaps give the first few episodes a chance and see if it's your type?
Quite traumatizing honestly. You meet this girl who seems quite authentic AND gives off signs that she has a crush…
Happy Ending!!!
I won't give you any spoilers but I'll just say that this movie healed a part of me that was traumatized by a similar K-movie based on the 90s.
One thing- since it's about a teen's first love, they act like real teenagers (decision making wise) so if you are the serious type, try to remember that when you watch it since some of their ideas might feel silly in the eyes of an adult but hilarious/ relatable in the eyes of a teen 😉🤫
**** Sad- there is a little angst towards the end since the ML's family situation isn't great but if you remember that the MC will have a happy ending, it'll help. Trigger warning- Domestic violence is discussed (but not more than 5-10mins max and there's nothing explicitly shown on it from what I recall)
№4. Giving a chanceThis was the FL's entire argument: to give her a chance.- Adults failed to protect her.-…
True- i really didn't expect the story to have so much depth in it (specially since I already expected the worst from the mum- but this twist was a good idea).
i really want to see kim hyeon's POV!😭 my shayla deserves alot💗🥹
Quite traumatizing honestly. You meet this girl who seems quite authentic AND gives off signs that she has a crush on you....you even get a fairytale proposal, only to get rejected eventhough it wasn't your idea in the first place🙈
Annnnnnnd he probably stopped going to their secret beach too🥲

The following comment gives an alternative reaction if you really want to watch the drama but need to prepare yourself in advance so you can control your expectations :)

Now I can't wait for Saturday🙈
Poor Yun (i.e. the reluctant wingman) might end up getting caught in the middle again.
Annnnnnnd he probably stopped going to their secret beach too🥲
It's the same reason why i usually watch the last 10mins or so of C-dramas with contraversial ban triggering plots 🙈 Need to know if it's worth it🙈
I'll let you know asap.
You want a picture perfect ending moment right? The perfect "...and they lived happily ever after" ending?
I can't wait to see what she'll do to him when they finally meet face to face again. She's usually so bad ass so anything is possible 🙈
