I think they both (can) do romance well. But they needed better directing and editing. It's Lomon first romance drama. His eye acting was good, but the skinship was a little awkward at times. And from the (small) snippet of the first kiss scene in the bts, it looked like KHY did more directing and cared about the angles than the director. I also saw some edits of scenes comparing NTTT with LR, and the angles looked much better in LR which made it look more heart fluttering.

There's a scriptbook with more scenes. Apparently they will get married and go on a honeymoon/travel in Europe. (dunno about kids).

This drama had soooo much potential. I really like that it doesn't have the typical kdrama tropes and cliches.. but it looks like the production team is made out of rookies.

From the directing, editing, camera angles (can they stop filming LM from right below the chin), the forced sounds effects/BGM, the colour grading to the styling (I've never seen them fix KHY's hair or clothes).. and even the bad posters.. the production team ruined what could've been a really good drama.

I need KHY and Lomon in another project because this drama wasted their potential. Too little romance scenes to showcase their chemistry. The kiss scenes are too short. Even the bed scene was less than a minute. And when they shift from the bed scene to KSY's friends exercising.. the shift is so abrupt and didn't flow well, so it immediately cut off the romance.

Even though it might not be the best drama.. KHY, LM, Choi Seungyoon and Lee Siwoo, and the creative storyline(although the writing is lacking sometimes) made this drama still enjoyable to watch.

well the Korean title is literally Human from Today Onwards and English title is No Tail to Tell.. so it makes sense that she's not a gumiho but human most of the time. The way they promoted it was wrong though.. FL was barely a MZ gumiho, ML was hardly narcissistic and romance shouldn't have been its main genre.

KSY barely had a character growth. He was only narcissistic for like one ep? and it wasn't even that bad. EH growth is slow, but it's there. She goes back at being feisty bc she sees the greed in WS. But before, she would only help other people when it benefitted her. If she would have found that black card sooner, she would spend it on herself and not on KSY's grandma or football friends. And she wouldn't have cared who 8miho likes or go with KSY to visit his grandma.

favourite moments from this week's eps:
- Rooftop scene
- AC scene
- black caaaarddddd~
- EH imitating KSY and sounding like shin-chan
- 8miho eating jjajangmyeon

If they treat romance as a subplot.. they could've at least shown us more scenes of EH and GH. Both are good at comedic acting and they are so funny together. Again.. so much wasted potential.

The scene with 8miho and KSY's friends was funny but introduced so late in the show that it feels like a filler and unnecessary. They already have so much to wrap up in the last two eps.

the ML is 19 in the first two eps and that's when they meet. He's 28 later on.

Since KHY's previous drama was also a romcom and she had crazy chemistry with BWS.. people are gonna compare the couples. Although it's nothing like SolSeon couple, the dynamic with HoKang couple is different since they started as enemies. There's tenderness amidst all the bickering. But, imo, the romance scenes are lacking and too short to really showcase their chemistry.

When there are moments where they glance at one another and you anticipate something will happen.. nothing happens. But when there's a romantic moment, they cut off the romantic vibe so quickly that you can't feel the romance or immerse in it.

For example:
- In front of the carousel KSY says they only have each other (to worry about) > KSY's says it's bc EH is the only one to get his life back.
- It looks like EH confesses to KSY > EH says KSY isn't bad looking and will treat dating as hobby (not bc she likes him)
- Their romantic vibe gets interrupted by KSY's friends or they almost get hit by a bike
- They finally hold hands > EH says her heart doesn't race anymore and humans are disposable

I also blame the editing team. Why did they cut the kiss scene.. It was a longer kiss in the bts.. They also shared a snippet of the scriptbook of ep 9's ending where KSY gives EH a peck before cupping her cheeks which they cut out of the ep. They could've included that instead of needing 20 secs of them staring into each other and they don't kiss bc they get interrupted by KSY's friends.

What I like about this drama is the plot and the unpredictability.. but I wish they had better writers, and a different director and editing team.

I have seen two other dramas of this director, and they were actually pretty good. But why does it look like a rookie directed this. The writing is not the best.. but the biggest flaw of this drama is the editing.

Both Extraordinary You and Lovely Runner showcased her acting skills (and got a lot of praise from critics). It's just when it comes to romcoms, they only care about the ML .. and if the FL is pretty enough...

No, it’s bc of Lunar New Year which is a big holiday in Korea.

Im Sol is a bubbly emotional person, but Eunho is a sassy, rude Gumiho that looks down on people and deals with greedy clients. Im Sol only cares about Sunjae but Eunho only cares about herself. Not the same, but Eunho is more similar to Joy and Hyeyoung than Im Sol or Danoh. Her face is expressive bc she doesn't hide her disdain of people.

As for the kiss scene, she’s a motae solo so the kiss looks a little awkward and she was taken aback. It’s not like the kissing scene ep 8 in LR. The dynamic is totally different.

If you plan on watching it, it begins with a bad start (especially the first three eps), but every episode gets better and better. And don’t think of romance as its main theme, the romance is a slow burn.

Winter olympics have started. Other drama ratings have decreased as well. Korean athletes were even competing when these dramas were aired.

Last two eps were the best so far! Eunho is such a character. In ep 7 telling KSY's teammates that they are going to get married and the beginning of ep 8 were so funny. She's not asking KSY to date her, she's demanding it. She's dating as a hobby, not because she likes KSY. And KSY is just going along with it but secretly liking it.

The romance is a slow burn, but I'm enjoying it. I like how natural their relationship has developed. Their dynamic is so refreshing. Sad that there's only four eps left bc we need more of their dating era :(

I have some issues with the directing though. They could've easily changed the script and let the actors eat inside.. there was no need to film them eating outside on the rooftop. It looked super cold. Also, some angles are unflattering and they could've paid more attention to KHY's hair. It looks untidy in certain scenes.

next week is Lunar New Year, and last four eps will air the following two weeks after that.

I haven't seen PY, but there isn't an annoying 2ML. It has some tropes, but I find the way their relationship develops very refreshing and natural. It's not the yearning or I just met you but I'm already willing to risk everything for you kind of trope. The main leads bicker a lot and the romance is a (very) slow burn, but the plot hits u with so many twist and turns that you don't really know where the story goes and it makes you anticipate the next ep.

I have to say, the first three eps were really bad bc of the editing. It's more of a prologue. If it wasn't for KHY, I probably would have dropped it. But you'll have to stick with it bc they introduce the characters. It gets so much better from ep 4 onwards, and every following ep was better than the previous one. People are hating on the FL but she's a morally grey character that speaks with a condescending tone bc she looks down on humans. She's sassy, immature and has a bad temper but some actions are understandable since she has been dealing with greedy people. She shows some character development throughout the eps. The ML is a little slow witted.

The ratings are low bc a lot of immature haters were review bombing it. They hate the lead actress...

There are several things to nitpick on.. but 8-miho literally told a big speech in front of the carousel on why she wants to become human.. Although there are no sad days, there are no happy days either. There's nothing memorable. And she wants to live wholeheartedly. A meaningful life where she would be swept off her feet, not a life where she can predict and control things. She can become a Gumiho, but it would be the same just more power.

KSY and Eunho didn't plan to go to the amusement park, 8-miho wanted to go. They never explained why she stayed in the mountains and Eunho was questioning that as well but 8-miho is kind of a dimwit..

It hasn't even been a week since he swapped fate with Wooseok and is hoping that that the situation he's in is temporary. It would make more sense to help Eunho find a way to become a Gumiho again so she can undo her spell.

I think her tone makes it not affectionate and off-putting. KHY said in an interview that she used a condescending tone bc Eunho looks down on humans (and 8miho). So there are no/little signs of endearment towards KSY. But yeah, we do need a turning point.. hopefully they will kick off the romance portion soon!

She's just very pessimistic towards humans, probably from her past interactions with them. I'm guessing she fainted from the shock as she's not used to the human body. We saw her not batting an eye when seeing ghosts as the shaman's house, but was scared at the haunted house. We don't see a lot of chemistry bc they are mostly bickering.. A bit disappointed that the romance is sooo slow as we're already in ep 6.. but I like that it's not forced.
