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!❤️

I agree with everything you have said!

I wonder when will some people start learning that DRAMAS/MOVIES are not always created to CATER their own personal perferences or expectations all the time. It will not always turn out the way you want it to! Let's be real here, all dramas are made only for certain TARGET AUDIENCE. Not for you alone. If from watching earlier episodes, you found it is already not fitted to your liking/interest then what is so hard about dropping it? Even if your reason for watching a drama is because you love the actors starring in them, I think it is only reasonable that you stop forcing yourself to continue no matter what. There are thousands of other kdramas out there that are best suited for your own taste. LND is not the only drama left in the whole world. So, I don't really get those who obviously dislike this drama from the get-go, camping here, complaining and nitpicking about every single thing every time a new episode gets aired, when they should have left their criticism and dropped the drama a long time ago. No need to go to an extent to constantly spread negativity and then whine about those who are disagreeing.

Also, respect goes both ways. We can respect criticisms, and we have every right to also disagree with certain criticisms. Stop pulling the crap about people here not being able to accept different opinions. I believe there is a very clear distinction between actual 'criticisms' and pure 'hate' alone. If you ever see people disagreeing with certain peoples' opinions that is not directed to you, no need to feel so attacked because they aren't even disagreeing with you. Lol.

I wish LND production team made their 'mini diaries' into an epilogue scene for each episodes, instead of having them posted in text form through TVNs social medias. It's quite a disadvantage for international fans, and seems not everyone is aware of its existence or reads it. There are more hints there, especially about Seokryu's feelings for Seunghyo.

It's not included in the drama itself. Each week after every new episode airs, TVN would make a post about their Mini Diaries on their social medias.

I already translated them into English and made a compilation of it here, you can check the discussion section if you'd like.

Choi Seunghyo's TMI
[from a jewelry shop seller]

'That Area, That Customer'

"Oh, that customer. I remember him.
At first, I thought that he was a celebrity. He was so handsome.
His facial features are sharp, I think his family must have some amazing genes.
He looks delicate but his forearm is very muscular.
Anyway, he checked out all the bracelets in our shop.
It's not even a ring but a bracelet, it isn't common to see someone go that far for a bracelet.
He is definitely a memorable customer.
Not only the wrist sizes of each bracelet,
He also did the simulation by himself, considering everything from his eye expression to the overall vibe.
It was fun watching him get all excited and then calm down again.
Oh, right he also said something.
He said that he is going to propose to someone who is like a gold medal in his life.
In the end, he bought the prettiest and most expensive bracelet (the one with diamonds) from out of all the products we have. He bought it in an instant.
He left smiling so happily.
It was a very rewarding day for me too. I liked it!"

Trans by me.
I think this is the final diary entry we might get huhu

You're not alone! I feel the same way and loving every scene there is in this drama. I never once found any scene boring, instead I get completely immersed to the point I don't even realize it has been an hour already. Honestly, the 1hr+ runtime for each episode feels so short to me...that's how much I am enjoying this drama. I agree, it is very wholesome indeed.

Yess! Mimi as in Xiaomi hahah....RIGHT! that makes him charming and the fact that he is so brave?! like he doesn't back down so easily! I just hope Xiaomi would open up her heart more towards him in the future because both of them perfectly match each other. Even their jobs kinda match!!

yeah, I am rooting for both of them. IMO Dinghao is more proactive and direct with his feelings unlike Muchen who is kind of a red flag, giving mixed signals thus creating misunderstandings and kind of leading Yufan who has been a sweet girl on, it honestly made me dislike him.

yess hehehe

when they were kissing while standing up he moved his hands to hold her waist heheheh.....😭😭😭😭 that is too long we will have to wait til next year!

also we were robbed at Seunghyo using his hands during that scene, in bts he used them....me too!! I need it as soon as LND ends so I can watch everything

from what I know ost album are always included in blu ray hehe QOT and LR have them

Exactly! I will miss their friendship so much once LND ends. I laughed so hard at that scene plus Seunghyo and Seokryu being the best wingman for Danho and Moeum 🤣 I can't wait for next ep all 4 of them will be in same frame again!!

same! Tomo and Qiqi are my Top 2, then Dinghao and Mimi Top 3.
I really hope so! and hope they date in real life too!! or else I would be so devastated.

Ahhh yes I agree with you! their friendship is so wholesome!! I also love the dumb and dumber dynamic ahahahah they are hilarious!

This drama can be a hit or a miss. Its storyline pace is quite slow but matches well with the romance as it is slow-burn. It does not solely revolve around the romance aspect, it circulates on family, dreams, careers etc. too. The storyline tackles real-life issues, especially ones that are a norm for most asians, so there is a sense of realism here and it is logical. Apart from that, the characters here are imperfect and have their own set of flaws, so they are realistic at some point, especially with their reactions and how they deal with their life struggles. Thus, most viewers are able to relate to them. There is a slice of life, healing, melo, and angst in this other than romcom. There are notable heavy scenes too. Apart from that, all issues here aren't dragged out, they are resolved either in the same episode itself or by the next one. The drama has its own set of flaws but it is decent and has good qualities too.

I can't answer your question if it is worth it because I believe no matter what opinion, it will sound biased especially if it is from someone who is enjoying this drama. So, I suggest you continue giving it a shot and see for yourself as relying on other viewers opinions alone might not give you the answers you really want as you are the only one who can determine a dramas worth yourself.

I like your idea too!! crossing my fingers that our wish get granted hahaha

I am kinda hoping that they would give us Seokryu's POV by these last two episodes. Something like the 7 mins flashback of Seunghyo. Like, maybe before their wedding ceremony or during it - she would look at him in the eye then *insert flashbacks that entails her POV*. That would be an impactful one. IKR! they did it with Hong Haein too haha but I am hoping it will be a different case for LND at least.

Same, I am crossing my fingers to be honest but getting them onscreen together again feels like a light years away.

waaahh I didn't notice bcs all I remember is the kiss on the lips during that scene, maybe director thought it would be too much if they also added that but NOOO 😭😭😭we are greedy we need all of it!!!!! thanks for this I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't point out🫶. We must get LND blu-ray, I am sure they will include the cut scene there! RIGGHT HIS EYES IS DEAATH OF ME!!

OMG!!! Oscar & Leyan are killing me with their sweetness. They really have the best chemistry in this show. Can I just say that Oscar reminds me so much of Jaehyung from my sibling's romance, both are ultimate greenflag men who are only proactive towards the person they are interested in, and would treat them in a special way compared with everyone else.
