The thread is open.
The last episode, Ep 14, is showing on Wednesday. Finally, we can binge-watch it.
Do we know already why Lee BoGyeong cursed Haena’s ancestors? Do we still care?
Let’s enjoy the show.

Thank you! 🥰
I have to catch up and I still care. ☺️ It’s CEW. 😆
@pkml3 That’s the main question… after a while, do we even care about the premise, the results of the action, whether the protagonists get what they’re after…
Dramas have to make us care!!!
Annyeong
The sad thing is when I think the show was over awhile back haha
No wonder – LOL
Omg
Thanks PM3 for reminding me the show needs to give me a closure haha besides a happy ending, of course haha
Right, HK_Lady?
My interest just petered out. Its once-a-week schedule plus the interruption/delays of the programming because of sports gave me the impression that the producers of the show were half-hearted about the kdrama. The show was like an afterthought for them.
I’m fine delayed gratification but when story added the weird subplots (e.g., the school bullying, the female lead’s tortuous revelation of her doggy curse), I had to conclude that the show was wasting my time.
Yes, @GB.
I should have waited to binge-watch this show. 🙂
Yes, it’s CEW.
This actor is really a handsome fellow but he needs to pick his dramas better…or get better at acting. I don’t know what’s up with him.
@pkml3, @agdr03
I kind of feel sad for CEW. I’m guessing that he’s told he just has to look good on screen. He may want to improve on his acting, but that means he has to put aside work and spend time being coached. I don’t know if he is able to do that. It’s a vicious cycle… if he does not improve, he’ll just keep getting pretty-face roles and if he keeps on with pretty-face roles, he may not be offered better roles to improve with or be able to practise to extend his range.
I waited until the final episode was out to finish this drama. The full truth about what happened in the past is finally revealed in episode 13. The selective editing is dropped and we see that the servant (and her lover) had not betrayed her “Lady,” as the mountain spirit had wrongly believed, but the Lady had killed herself to save the servant and her baby, making his ridiculous centuries-old “kiss and you’re a dog” curse moot. Honestly the show could have ended there, but they presented one more head-scratching episode, a year in the future in which not a lot has changed (i.e., no wedding!). The OTP is still dating and making cute in secret while at school.
Meanwhile the school is presenting a festival where there are ghosts walking around and divination and talismans are available (can’t imagine that happening in the USA!). Some students present a (well done) shadow play that’s about the FL transforming into a dog and the ML learning to accept and kiss her despite his fear of dogs. Oh and the ML adopts a dog… And I’m not sure what I just watched—?
There were some fun moments. I especially liked the FL’s parents and the heroic way they went about rescuing her from an Internet streamer/bully. But it was repetitive, especially in the last few episodes where we saw scenes from their courtship over and over, as filler. It could have easily been told in fewer episodes…
It feels like the production budget was significantly cut in the later episodes, and the editing team had to fill the gaps with lots of recaps.
I am grateful for the joy that the early episodes brought. Shame they couldn’t keep it up!
