I’m glad I left the last 4 episodes to binge. I think if I watched this in one go, I wouldn’t have gotten as frustrated when Yu Ra appeared. But I loved the webtoon and I loved this adaption. I do appreciate the changes they made by not sticking completely to either web novel or webtoon. Also, the height difference between Na In Woo and Park Min Young still makes me squeal even after 3 kids and 16 episodes. I adored the ending, everything tied up in a nice bow :)
I’ve started my rewatch and only JUST realized that Ji Won returned on 12 April 2013 and Ji Hyuk returned on 19 April 2013, meaning all that care and heroism that he exhibited on her first day back (when she had the freak out with Min Hwan and the coffee pot incident) was still past Ji Hyuk. The prolonged look in the elevator in Episode 2 is when he first sees her in his second chance. Wow, the revelations, I’m so late
I powered through and ignored the makeup and the problematic beginning as best I could. Had to rewatch the ending to fully get it but turns out they’re on their third reincarnation. Since there’s a “The End”, I’m guessing they won’t drag it out into season 2 which is great news because I hate when they do that. My rating is 7.5 but keep in mind that is with watching at x2 speed and skimming through some scenes. I do think this drama is interesting because there was quite a few twists and turns but as it’s so short, it feels very choppy. You can follow along but it doesn’t really give much satisfaction. Or maybe that’s my fault because of the way I watched. Either way, I do think it’s worth a try if you can get past the beginning and the makeup. If it was longer with better quality and acting, the storyline could be on par with something as dramatic as Goodbye My Princess.
Considering this is over 10 years old and it’s my first time watching this, I’m very surprised that it doesn’t seem more dated apart from the makeup. Having watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo not too long ago, I think I prefer EAW though. Still enjoyed this drama though.
UNNECESSARY. This was meant to be a HAPPY second chance! Why add this stupid ex-fiancée?! I signed up to watch joyful revenge on the cheaters, not this.
I rewatch this drama almost every other year and it never fails to make me smile :’) Idk why the student-teacher romance bothers some people so much. There are much worse age gaps, much worse starts to relationships (especially in real life) and personally, I think they handled it appropriately. No one in the drama, not even the people falling in love, thought they should be together at that age so I don’t get why it’s a big deal that they get together later on. Anyway, my opinion: I still love this drama.
I really like the changes they’ve made. It retains the feelings of the webtoon but it’s still surprising to watch the twists. I really appreciate how Ji Won got a one up on that awful manager and director. Hoping the worst two (Min Hwan and Su Min) get an even better comeuppance!
I am very glad I saved this for a binge! As much as I like the actors, I don’t think I would have been very loyal to wait for the episodes, especially over 3 months. Now just to wait for the final episode but honestly I’m just glad that the idiot finally found out the truth.

I miss the days when c-dramas just had one season and could be 70+ episodes long without any breaks in airing. This American way of multiple seasons is just so annoying ):
I was thinking the same! She has money and no worries. Most likely a step sister as there is something about his…
In the webtoon, it was that Ji Hyuk’s dad remarried after his mom passed and had Hui Yeon with his second wife but I don’t think they ever advertised their children hence why both are able to work in U&K anonymously.
I loved it in the webtoon and I loved watching it come to life in episode 3 - I adore a good makeover montage! Plus watching Su Min’s fakeness be exposed, so satisfying. Can’t wait for the next episode when Ji Hyuk’s glasses come off :D

Is it the best quality, acting, anything? No but it was short and entertaining.
