You're welcome! I guess it's simply just not your friends' cup of tea and who knows, this might be yours hehe...happy watching to you!

You should go and give it a try, it's personally about preferences and interest for me. If you're someone like me who enjoys their romcom with angst, melo, slice of life and healing then you might like this one because the storyline is an emotional roller coaster ride, it will leave you feeling all emotions of the characters with how realistically humane they are written and the storyline here tackles some real life struggles with some of them overlooked mostly in reality. Like, the storyline here has its own depth, it doesn't solely focus on the romantic progress between the leads but focuses on 'every' characters life journey (most specially the leads), so the romance is 'slow burn'. Another thing is, this drama will allow you to open your perspective with how humanely the characters react and tackle life problems. You will be putting yourself in their shoes. Which I love about this drama as all characters aren't one dimensional but have lots of complex layers beneath them. Oh! and memorable dialogues too! there's quite a lot of them. So, this is my two cents! sorry it got long but yeah I really suggest you watch it, because you will never know the answer to your question if it is worth your time or not unless you give it a shot.

So excited and happy that we are finally getting new episodes today and tomorrow, at the same time sadness is creeping in because of the thought that we will have two weeks and four episodes remaining to LND's ending *insert crying river of tears*

That's actually the way I am seeing it. Their timing is always wrong. Literally, right person at the wrong time. Also, writer kinda hinted it for me with the flashbacks like her missing exam and the process of hardship she went through just to get him that towel. Then we got this recent clip with the cake, her jealous face haha

came across someone on X who translated the whole dialogue exchanged between them.

I think you should give it a try yourself. Only you will be able to know if it is worth it or not. Also, with regards to the ML and FL, they are childhood friends who literally grew up together, both of them are quite immature and playful towards each other. There is no 'bullying' here, they just banter or tease each other a lot, like how friends do in real life, but it usually dims down in further episodes. Both characters have their immature side and mature side.

I'm someone who enjoyed both QOT and LR, currently I am also watching LND and NGNL. For me, i'm leaning more towards LND because of the substance of its storyline plus realistic and not super cringey or typical romcom characters. While for NGNL had to put it on hold, it's completely romcom with the usual typical cliche plot, plus ML having the typical romcom character. So, if you're someone who enjoys all the cringe, fluff and pure fiction then you might like NGNL since it focuses completely on romance.

omg what a sharp memory ahhaah I shall join you on this one!

It's already saturday here hehe

can't wait for her to realize her feelings

IKR, so tired of seeing such complains over and over again. Atp they should just start creating their own drama

FR!! He is so underrated. With such acting skills he deserves to land on bigger projects honestly.

Agreed. I dislike short dramas because of such reasons, but finally I can say this is my fav short drama. The slowmos were absolute chefs kiss. Bless the director and writer! ofc! FXZ!

I thought I was the only one who find that scene disrespectful. I was like why did she have to say that of all things. It made me disappointed in her.

IKR! for me they have the most chemistry and I am looking forward to both of them the most. I love how natural their interactions are and not too over the top.

Well, it's normal to use the comment section or whatever platform you use to vent out your disappointments about a drama. It's normal for dramas to have negative comments. However, what OP was pointing out was for those who obviously don't like the 'childhood to lovers trope' in dramas from the get-go. If such trope is inline with your interest and you came to watch a drama with that same trope, however, you suddenly became disappointed because you find something you disliked about the storyline or character of the drama, then it is normal for you to vent out your disappointments or lay out your critics on where and why you started to dislike the drama despite initially liking it. It's a completely different case from those who disliked or aren't interested but still forced themselves to watch such dramas from the start, and are constantly complaining about the same thing over again.

ikr, it's become sort of a norm now in kdramaland....so tired of such!

True! I agree with you! some people are so quick to judge or make assumptions. Sex workers are 'normal people' too, not all interactions with them are merely for sexual purposes, it's 2024 can't believe some people still have such closed mindsets. Even more so, Artist are normal people too! Whether they are engaged in such activities or not, as their fans we are in no position to invade in their private life matters or better yet, make false accusations/assumptions based on an interaction of just liking a dm from a fan. Like, everyone can be a fan no matter what background, seriously.

Exactly! I also honestly don't understand the logic behind such. It's not as if we are scarce of k-dramas, that dramas like this are the only ones left in the whole world. I find it so unnecessary to allow a drama you dislike to consume your time, which instead could have been used for enjoyment rather than attending to the feelings of disappointment or frustrations. Unless, they simply find joy in spreading unnecessary negativity. It's not even difficult to focus on the k-dramas that better suit your 'interest'. I wonder when such people would understand that not all k-dramas were made to cater to them or are targeted towards them.

tbh, i'm starting to wish they would do it in cdrama way, with 40 episodes and a next season
