xuehua

Yes!! It's one of the best and remains my top1 fave historical Korean drama because of that reason.

right...now idk what we will do with this obsession hahaha it's been difficult for me to focus on watching other kdramas right now, I always end up thinking about LND

me too! oh I checked some reviews, they said the ending was flat, the main leads broke up then time skip then reunited only for few secs then drama ended

This made me so sad, seeing the way they both already bid their farewell to this lovely drama. I relate to what Somin said, "I think it's because i've never let go of love next door in my heart"

you're welcome! happy watching to you! 💖

You perfectly summed up what I feel about this drama! I share the same sentiments with you, Seokryu is the most relatable character for me too, as I have experienced most of what she had went through.

I agree! I think one of the reasons why Seokryu's love has been heavily misunderstood is because she is more of a silent lover type, her love for him is evident through her actions than words. I think people tend to overlook this part very much in the drama. Seokryu's love for Seunghyo is all there, throughout the storyline. We just have to look beyond the obvious that is shown. So, I never found their relationship one-sided because I know that Seokryu's love for Seunghyo is there.

These have sad endings
K-Drama:
20th Century Girl
The Hymn Of Death
Snowdrop
Youth of May
Uncontrollably Fond
The Red Sleeve
The Smile Has Left Your Eyes

If you want more sad stories, I suggest J-dramas and J-movies they have more sad and tear jerking stories imo.

J-Drama/Movie:
Even if this love disappears from the world tonight
I give my first love to you (2009 ver)
A litre of tears
Orange
Your lie in april

It's okay hahhha you're welcome! 🫶

So true! that's one of the things which I specifically love about LND. The transition was so perfect that their romance felt so real and natural.

It's not actually a drag but has to do more with the pace of the story which is 'slow'. Since the romance trope here is the slow-burn type. This drama also gives the feel of slice of life and realism. So, if you are the type who likes dramas that are fast-paced, solely romance focused and fluff from get-go, then this drama won't fit your cup of tea. The romance starts at ep 11 hehe

hi, I was reading some reviews haha did you mean to drop the drama?

I had watched both and loved them. Snowdrop leans more to melo and action, the plot doesn't revolve around romance much, it is there but subtle. It mostly circulates in politics. I am a sucker for angst, melo and tragedy so I loved it. Furthermore, one of my fave drama is Youth of May which was released in same year, so the vibe I got kinda reminded me of it. Jung Haein's character there is one of my fave roles of his. He portrayed a spectacular acting performance and his micro expressions were insanely crazier there. As for Alchemy of Souls, I agree with everyone had said and I am also in favor of season 1.

p.s I forgot to mention, snowdrop kind of has an enemies to lovers trope.

no, this time she mentioned 'fat' during her conversation w/ Oscar

I have no hate towards Evelyn, I liked her at the start but recently I am finding some of her 'jokes' insensitive rather than funny or a joke. I remember her last date with Tomo when she joked about his skin color, it made me uncomfortable, now with the recent episodes, she is still making those kind of jokes. Even Oscar seemed a bit taken aback at her remark, he said he couldn't and wouldn't even dare say such words himself.

I noticed too and hope that is the case! I really think they are preventing themselves from spoiling it!

Yes! it went down, it is 8.5 to me now. I think there might be a glitch or the trolls mass downvoting this drama haha but we have yet to see the final ratings, last 2 episodes haven't aired and I am sure a lot of LND lovers haven't rated the drama. It will increase hopefully!

The other drama fluctuated in rating, it became 8.5 too...I saw many people complain about the bad ending.

for the first time, I am not that excited about the countdown time decreasing 😭😭😭

yess hahah

I love everything you said!!

Sadly, some people who are just plain toxic or simply hate the drama will never be able to get that concept. The same way they aren't able to accept different opinions or disagreements towards them. They will see and take everything as a personal attack.

I've only been enjoying engaging and reading peoples diff opinions & insights here, but it frustrates me how much unnecessary hate and toxicity has been spread here, so haha 😅 thanks for your very well written opinion too!❤️
