I would add something here:

BG proposing to invite RJ to the show right after they found MH. It looked like everyone already forgot about RJ and not even considered her joining the show. It may be a coincidence but is it really? 🤔

He didn’t know about MH and WH going to see RJ, they didn’t even meet there as I recall! Manager didn’t let him meet RJ as she was having a fan meet up after the performance (with MH!).

Since a lot of us is getting along with the theory that BG = KH, I would like to add that I see some kind of opportunity here:

We don’t see much from BG’s perspective since ep.2, mostly some small details or short interactions.

Imagine if the creators will release the episode with the whole KH/BG pov. From childhood, through the times after MH went missing, till the present times.

That could be soooo good and giving answers to a lot of questions, also adding the emotional layer to his character.

Just an idea yk 😎

Fingers crossed that they are as detail oriented as with the casting for the younger and older versions of characters 🤞

You are welcome, I was puzzled with it too since the last episode so when that idea popped in my head that it may be the answer I got pretty fulfilled ngl 😂

I was wondering how Ki Ho’s father knew where he should meet with Mok Ha but I realized that Mok Ha lost a backpack on the farry. Since Ki Ho’s father is a cop I guess he could get it after the incident.

There was a lot of stuff inside this backpack which could be used against him (e.g. photos, video tapes) AND the notepad with info about the meeting with the manager!

Additionally, they both sing exceptionally well, I guess the talent can run in the family. Also, Mok Ha is all by herself now, there is nobody from her family left. It would make sense (plot-wise) to find long lost family. Or maybe it’s just the story about finding the real family among friendships?

It was also mentioned that it’s possible that Ran Joon went through some plastic surgeries (I recall some discussion between villagers?) so she would not be recognizable anymore to those who knew her before she became famous. But idk, would need to rewatch first episodes to be 100% sure :)

That’s the only possibility for me to be the case Woo Hak = Ki Ho.

But! Looking at the personalities of both brothers you can clearly see that Bo Geol is more reserved and he’s more focused on small gestures. I also feel he is independent, which would make sense for someone who grew up in that horribleness Ki Ho went through. And the sadness and longing in his eyes when looking at Mok Ha… You can be very emphatetic ofc but those emotions he’s showing look like 100% his own.

This! I agree 100%

I’m really suprised but I actually like it, already invested in the drama 😎 It’s quite soapy but feels like has also some depth in it. Can’t wait for the story to unfold!

I think that KYD’s character will be much different as the ending of the 1st episode implies

The original cast is just chef's kiss <3

Just watch it, 100% worth it. I was scared of so many episodes too but gave it a go and I loved it. One of my all times favorites.

Sounds good, what is the title of this drama?

Thank you for the warning, I have some other dramas with this FL on my watchlist, looks like it's dropping even lower in my watching order.

I am also new to the k-drama and c-drama world (started at the beginning of this year with Alchemy of Souls), made the same mistake by watching one of the bests at the very beginning, making the bar waaay too high :D It's funny for me now that I was postponing the c-dramas by being focused on k-dramas only.

For me first 3 were:
1. Hidden love (duh!)
2. You are my Glory (Yang Yang = ML as in Fireworks of my Heart)
3. Lighter & Princess (yup, 100/10 seems to be fair rating)

Another drama which made me analyze the characters at similar level as in L&P was for sure Go Ahead (it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me miss the characters till today; I was throwing pillows through the room because of anger, too :D).

You expressed my feelings and thoughts about this drama perfectly, thank you for this analysis! Such a good job!

PS Had exactly the same reaction to the popularity of Go Go Squid, eventually I dropped, even though I really liked the ML, the FL was so cringy I couldn’t handle it
