The thread is open.
This kdrama has been such a disappointment that I’ve set my bar low for this final week. Please, Show, just convince me that they’re meant to be! As of Episode 6, I think the male lead should walk away from her and get over his First Love disease. The old saying about the abundance of fish in the sea comes into mind. As for the heroine, she has too much emotional baggage to deal with before the ending.
No, sorry! Even the cute couple moments can’t save the deficiency of the plot.
Let’s enjoy the show.
Well, the FL managed to get rid of the clingy ex with a clean break. But now she has to deal with the ML’s control freak of a mother. At least the second couple is finally a real couple, unless the writer throws a semi-predictable obstacle on their path in the final episode.
This show would have worked better as a 2-episode drama special. There is not enough plot to fill 8 episodes. I did enjoy the cute sweaters and wool blazers though.
I agree. If all of them leave their first loves behind like the thawed food, they might be happier. But it’s not likely that it will happen, right?
@Fern, some food should stay frozen then thrown away after the expiration date.
From the previous week’s episodes, I dislike how the show used depression as an excuse, and made the Ex-boyfriend have a mental illness to justify the harsh break-up. Leaving her without an explanation is now a “noble” act. Ugh!
@packmule3, you are so right. Not noble at all and now he tries emotional blackmail to get what he wants.
No spoilers, but episode 7 was a huge improvement in communication all around. Episode 8 still has a big job to tie it all together in a good way.

🙂 Thanks, GB. I just renamed the thread.
Dear All, I finished the last episode. Am I satisfied with the show? I didn’t think it was novel except for the very end. For me it was a bit meh.
A technical issue (perhaps): I was watching this episode on Rakuten Viki. A few minutes in I got a message that the drama couldn’t be watched on my browser (in this case Microsoft Bing) but when I reopened the drama episode and went to the same scene, it carried on. This repeated twice and both times I could restart the drama, but it was annoying. Did anyone else have this happen?
@Fern, I occasionally encounter that problem on Viki.
I assumed that Viki hadn’t finished uploading the episode or was re-uploading segments of the episode so it would stall midway through the show. That’s my very (un)educated guess. I’m not a techie.
With Netflix, I sometimes can’t open the drama when I’m abroad, and some sort of error message will pop up.
Ok. Will power through this final episode now.
I finally made it through the last episode … limping along with it.
It fell flat for me from pretty early on. Adding in the ex-bf did nothing much for the plot. The second leads’ romance was slightly more engaging. At least it was announced with a bit of a bang in front of dad and a group of teachers. Sang Pil should have at least an assistant if not a gf to date. It’s obvious that he carried a torch for Hye Ji who was blind to his quiet devotion.
What surprised me was that Hong Ju and Hu Young failed to warm my heart. That dreaded ‘chem’ word keeps coming to mind … and they totally lacked it! I’m now more interested in watching the BTS of this show to see if they got on well, behind the camera. If they did, it certainly didn’t show up on screen!
@Growing Beautifully, I thought it was an open ending in a sense. The interesting thing at the end for me was both leads emigrating for an indefinite time. (although I understand the FL’s visa would be limiting) I think that’s a bit unusual for a Korean rom-com. Normally the homeland is the most important place.
Despite how they both feel about their home country, going away for a long while can change a person, plus they have the mother issue any time they might want to return as a couple. If they had children in the US, the child would be American. Just thinking out loud here. As an emigrant myself, the sort of promises we made before leaving — annual visits became every two years, then longer. The lifestyle starts to make sense, then becomes normal. Things like that.
I agree about the (chem). The FL’s acting was rather business-like in that sense. I felt more coming from the ML, but that he met resistance in a sense. Yes, the bts may show something, although I think it’s often staged.
Gosh, just imagine if there were a season 2 with the delusional writer ex producing a thinly veiled evil FL character based on our FL. This book comes out upon the OTP’s return from the states, leaving the MIL to call in her lawyers to save the day…
😂😅😐😶
Reading through these comments, I’m so glad I dropped this show after episode 2!
The original source is a webtoon, and webtoons — in my opinion — aren’t constructed to be thought-provoking, in the same vein that “Archie Comics,” “Nancy and Sluggo” and “Conan the barbarian” comic strips weren’t meant to be serious reads. They’re sensational, cheap, disposable, forgettable.
Perhaps the producer could have hired a mature and experienced screenwriter to add more depth/layers to the story and characters. But in this kdrama, the screenwriter appears to be a newbie herself. There’s no other work listed on her profile on mydramalist. I should have realized the impending disaster sooner. Mea culpa.
