Okay but I love how they didn’t make his previous love interest a bitch. They could have easily created some cheap love-triangle drama with this, but chose to make her an actually nice and genuine person.

This is what dramas should do!

So I’m watching episode 9 right now, and as much as I want to be angry with Seok-ryu for not just communicating her feelings with the people who love her (I’m actually so frustrated like girl just talk to them) - I can also fully understand how going through cancer treatment so far from home and feeling isolated is probably so traumatic, and with the parents she has… I would probably not tell them everything either.

She has been “beaten” her whole life into being the perfect older sister who is not allowed to make any mistakes or show any weaknesses, so suddenly having to lean on her friends and show them just how weak she feels? Out of the question for her.

As for Seung-hyo, he is also fully in his right to be upset about this. She comes back and almost forces herself back into his life, making him confront forgotten feelings, only to suddenly push him away again the second she doesn’t need him anymore (I imagine that’s how he feels anyway).

Proper communication is the only way forward, they just need to face their hurt and pride to do it.

I haven’t really talked that much about Mo-eum and Dan-ho yet, and it’s mostly because I don’t really know how to feel about it?

Like on one hand it’s really cute that Mo-eum likes Yeon-du and don’t mind the whole single dad thing (and she has really good chemistry with Dan-ho as well).

But girl… his wife died only two years ago? That’s still so recent and he’s obviously still dealing with that loss. And now you’re actively trying to take her place? I know it’s probably not what Mo-eum means, but “I would like to be Yeon-du’s mom” after having kissed Dan-ho, then ignored him and then to this??

I did find it weird why this grown ass woman would be so interested in befriending a random kid in a park - they were setting all this up obviously, but her obsession with Yeon-du is just a bit over the top imo.

I want to like it because it’s overall such a cute story with a single dad finding love again and the daughter accepting someone new in their lives… but after only two years, and this fast? Idk, feels weird to me.

Will be interested to see in how they turn this around for me.

I wish this drama would stop dragging this out and just LET THEM BE TOGETHER!

Like why do we get the first “I love you” only to have her reject him like that? And then not tell us why?! If they didn’t want them together that soon because there would be too much time left with nothing to do, then don’t have them together that early?

Why is it illegal for couples to be happy in dramas? Stable and happy couples in love does not have to be a boring watch if you’re a good writer, just saying.

genuinely think the LND writers think the two mains are teenagers and not grown adults IN THEIR 30s WITH LIFE EXPERIENCE, cause why can't yall talk everything out...there's always a new problem. Romance doesn't have to be boring, You are My Glory is one of my favorite cdramas because it did romance so well without unnecessary problems and Her Private Life?? Top tier show

Right?? I feel like we just solve one problem where they didn’t talk to each other - and fair enough that it happens once or twice, trust does take time - only to go right into the next one, cause every single conflict in this drama is just… nobody talking to each other?!

You would really think they were teenagers rather than grown ass adults. Not that adults can’t be petty and stupid, but we see these two come together and communicate only to have that growth immediately negated.

I haven’t watched You are My Glory, but Her Private Life really is such a good example of adults done right.

What are the last two episodes even going to be about now? I’m half expecting Seok-ryu to run away and leave him at the alter or something stupid like that. Wouldn’t even surprise me at this point.

[kdramacrybaby]

God is it nice to see Seok-ryu and her parents finally having a calm and positive conversation about how they feel and why they feel that way.

And then we cut to Seung-hyo and his parents in a completely different vibe… I see why the kids aren’t all that good at communication when their parents are like this.

[kdramacrybaby]

I knew it was coming and I’m still mad about it. The whole scene where she almost pushes away Seung-hyo just to lean on her ex? I hated that so much - WHY IS THE EX EVEN HERE?!

Why we gotta hurt Seung-hyo so much this drama? First his ex coming back being a menace, then Seok-ryu’s ex - and now him finding out just how much Seok-ryu hasn’t told him about all that happened. Why do they insist on stomping in this poor man’s heart FOR NO REASON?!

At this point - right now having finished episode 8 - I’m not sure I even want him to end up with Seok-ryu anymore? I know that seems overkill, but all of this going on at once is just too much for me, and honestly Seung-hyo deserves better.

I’ll probably be changing my mind the next time they are cute together again, but damn, did this just ruin both the rom and the com in this romcom 🙄

I am of course not blaming Seok-ryu directly for any of this - do I wish she would just fucking communicate? Of course! - Do I understand she probably gets that distrust from her sucky parents? Yes! She’s learned to hide away her feelings to not be an inconvenience… but damn girl, you really aren’t helping yourself either…

Everyone needs therapy at this point, please just TALK TO EACH OTHER

[kdramacrybaby]

I just got spoiled about something happening later in the drama (in the middle of watching episode 8 rn) and I’m actually happy that I saw it here first, because I think I would have quit this drama out of pure disappointment if I didn’t have time to brace myself as I do now

WHAT DO YOU MEAN CANCER IN MY ROMCOM?! Do they even know what the “com” stands for at this point?? It’s supposed to be funny, come on now 😭😭
