I don't think you are a minority. There is a very organised crew hanging out on in the fanwall with @raonah Ye Liners just had a good week and enjoying it while it lasts hehe.
P.S.: I also don't like that Dr. Ye clenches his jaw when he speaks. I don't recall Lee Jun Hyuk being stiff like that before. So maybe it's done on purpose. He only softens somewhat when he talks to Bo Young.

I think there's a maturity gap between all three: between Jae-wook and Bo-young, and between Bo-young and Min-ho, but the gap between Min-ho and Bo-young is a much more stark and significant because he has the emotional maturity of a teenager, which is definitely connected to the lack of love and attention from his family. He's popular enough with his peers, but it's never a substitute. And without receiving love properly, is it any wonder he doesn't know how to give it, or show it himself? His snarky, assy behaviour might be armour to some extent, but it doesn't give him a free pass, and it doesn't make him attractive as a romantic possibility. I find Bo-young much more mature than him, to the point I can't see them interacting on the same emotional level yet. I'm willing to be converted, but unless we see thoughtful Min-ho more consistently than jerkwad Min-ho, I remain skeptical.

Between Jae-wook and Bo-young, I agree she sometimes seems too 'young' for him (not an age thing, a relational maturity thing) but at the same time, I think we might be conflating Jae-wook's aloofness with maturity, and I actually think they're totally separate things. The brief flashback to his backstory shows someone soft and emotionally unguarded. Because we've seen him be this cold 'advice machine' for most of his appearance, we've been tricked into thinking that's his default mode, when perhaps it's not. I'm willing to bet his dorky, mushy side is as natural a part of him as his inflexible, I-don't-mix-work-with-pleasure side. And come on, giving himself advice in the mirror! And avenging Bo-young! And grinning goofily when he thinks of her! It good stuff. So rather than robotic, I see him as someone who's been hurt. And yes, rigid, too. That's what makes him this odd combination of distant yet also not emotionally unavailable.

So with all that said, I'm happy for the show to actually end with all ships at sea as long as Bo-young does not shortchange herself in her own happy ending, because damn if she doesn't deserve to be with someone who respects and appreciates her, and doesn't get off on hurting her. (Whoever that is!)

I couldn’t agree more! ^^
This week’s episodes are Ye Liners episodes so MinHoYoung shippers are silent. ;)

@spicykimchi I'm on the minority with you haha.
About Dr. Ye, also can I say how odd I think it is that he is only acting properly with bo young and how rude he is with other people in the hospital? They did tease bo young and were slacking off at their work, but isn't there a better way of making them understand their faults? I feel like Dr. Ye is only good with bo young but he's not being the same with other staffs. :/

All that matters is, you are on the best ship with the best parties and the best food and the best Beanies hahahhaa...

“Flowers That Bloom When Shaken,” by Do Jong Hwan. (Ep. 1, First Poem).

No flower blooms without being shaken.
The most beautiful flowers in this world, all shake as they bloom.
As they shake, their stems straighten in an upright position.

(Ep. 1, Second Poem)

“One-sided love,” by Lee Nam Il.

That voice, which happened to call my name.
I loved that voice.
I stay up all night dreaming about that one gesture.
And I fantasize about our future because of your smile.

When your scent brushed by me and told me that it loved me,
I shattered to pieces as if I was sunlight.

(Ep. 1, Last Poem)

"Pain and Sadness Can Also Become a Path,” by Lee Chul Hwan.

I realized this after a long time of pain.
That pain can also become a path.
There is no life where no wind blows.

The wind must blow,
so that the tree will root deep inside the earth,
so that it won’t fall over.

That is why the wind shakes the trees.
That is why the wind shakes all of us.

Pain can also become a path.
Sadness can also become a path.

(Ep. 2, First Poem)

"A Fresh Start,” by Oh Bo Young.

I untangled the twisted knot.
I also took out the thorn.

Without lingering attachment or regret,
I straightened out my position.
I let the twisted relationships go.

With a lighthearted feeling,
and a confident mindset,
I erased yesterday,
with the hope of a better tomorrow.

"Every Moment Is Like a Flower Bud,” by Jung Hyun Jong. (Ep. 2, Last Poem)

At times, I regret it.
What happened back then might have been a gold mine.
That person back then,
and that object back then,
could have been a gold mine.

I should gotten closer to you,
and talked to you more.
I should have listened to you more,
and loved you more.

I wonder if I sent you of as if I was hard of hearing.
As if I was absent minded.
I should have loved those moments more.

Every moment is like a flower bud.
A flower bud that blooms when I’m eager.

”First Meeting,” by Ha Geum Joo.

I’m very thankful to you, who treated me like a flower,
when life was the coldest.
I was stepped on a lot, and never got any attention on this journey.
By meeting you, I met a new me.

I’m very thankful to you, who treated me like a flower,
when life was the coldest.

(Ep. 3, Last Poem)

”I Like You,” by Kim Young Taek.

One Spring day, I saw your love,
light up my backyard with happiness,
which was once dark, under the shade.

You, who called me out from the darkness with your love,
With bright light that can only come from darkness,
you stood in front of me and smiled like a wild flower.
Ah, even the thought of you makes me happy.

(Ep. 4, Only Poem)

"Standing Close,” by Kim Sa In.

Her bent back collects newspaper and cardboard boxes.
Her work pants are loose on her shrunken body.
When a car enters the alley, she stands close to the side.

With her small cart, which is her only flesh and blood.
Standing close in solitude.
Like a spider on a dirty cement call.
Like an old sting ray at the bottom of a water tank.
Standing low and close to a grey wall.

Once the car passes, the grandmother, who was like crinkled paper,
slowly straightens out again.
The cart’s wheels follow her at her heels like young goats.

If I think about the worn out television that will turn on in that room,
If I think about the tilted sink, pots, and pans,
and the bent back that will stand in front of it,
I choke up.
If I think about the rag in the corner, which she has probably wrung out.

"Love and Happiness," by Jung Yeon Bok.

I’m happy because I love you.
And because I’m happy, I love you even more.

My happiness grows with my love for you.
My love, is it okay to be this happy?

As I gently press down my overwhelming love for you,
I’m happy because I love you.

(Ep. 5, Second Poem)

”Joke," by Lee Moon Jae
When you’re faced with something beautiful,
If you think of someone you wish was by your side,
You’re in love.

When you’re faced with quiet scenery or delicious food,
If no one comes to mind,
You’re either really strong,
or really lonely.

In order to make the bell ring louder,
the bell must hurt more.

"It’s Okay If You Don’t Love Me," by Lee Jung Ha.

It’s okay if you don’t acknowledge me.
A new leaf will sprout even under the cold rain,
and the stars will come out, even if clouds cover it.

It’s okay if you don’t offer me a hand.
I blazed up like a dray leaf,
as someone who couldn’t say a word.

I’m okay with being in a one-sided love,
and then becoming love myself.
My love, it’s okay if you don’t love me.

Thank you for posting the poems!

”Morning,” by Chun Sang Byung.

Mornings always feel so happy.
The day begins,
and the starting point is right now.

After I wash my face,
I start my chores,
and open a book.

Today might be my lucky day.
I hope I hear some good news,
under the beautiful sky.

“Family,” by Choi Bum Young.

If you can’t say you’re hurt when you feel hurt, you’re not family.
If you can’t say you’re happy when you’re happy, you’re not family.
A sweet and soft ice cream cone,
isn’t enough to become a family.

Pain, happiness and love must be shared
and you must be endure all hardships in prayer,
until you can feel it together.
That’s how we become a family.

You must be able to express your sadness
and be able to cry together to be a family.
You must be able to express your happiness
and be able to be happy for one another to be a family.

You must feel like you’re under the same blanket no matter where you are to be a family.

“The Cricket and I,” by Yoon Dong Joo.

The cricket and I had a chat on the grass.
Cricket, cricket. Cricket, cricket.
We promised to keep our chat a secret between the two of us.
Cricket, cricket. Cricket, cricket.
The cricket and I chatted under the bright moonlight.

“Jealousy,” by Jung Ho Seung.

The fall rain only loves
the withered leaves.
I felt so jealous
that I tumbled about
in the withered leaves
until the fall rain stopped.

(Ep. 7, BONUS, Song, 00:56:35)

"Jealous Guy,” by John Lennon.

I was dreaming of the past
and my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began to lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was feeling insecure
You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering inside
Oh I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

[Whistling]

I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy

I was trying to catch your eyes
I thought that you were trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing my pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I made you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
watch out baby I'm just a jealous guy
Look out baby I'm just a jealous guy

“To You,” by Lee Jong Hwa.

You’re everything.

All paths lead up to you,
all songs are meant for you,
and I’m blinded by your light.

I can only see you in a crowd of countless people in the plaza.
I see you in every flower along the streets.

I see you in the coffee that I make time to drink.
I can picture you along the mountain hills where the sun sets.

Everything in this world looks different now,
and “waiting” no longer exists in my dictionary.

I’m always close to you.

(Ep. 8, Last Poem, 01:00:55)

“The Point of No Return” by Kim Chul Hyun.

Leaving the person you love,
and turning around,
as if you no longer love them.

Hiding the pain in your heart,
and turning around,
as if it doesn’t really hurt.

Hiding your unwanted parting,
and turning around,
as if it doesn’t matter.

Holding back your tears,
and turning around,
as if you’re not weak.

If you love that person,
you can’t turn back,
because you love them.

Just wanted to say thanks for sharing all these poems here! ^^

Don't speak to me about School 2015 XD XD

Seriously speaking though, I think we forget that this show isn't really a rom-com. It's an ensemble/slice-of-life affair, which means we're kind of giving disproportionate attention to the ships. If we go by the poster (and posters never lie XD) they're definitely our central characters, but a definite romance isn't necessarily the outcome, growth is, and that makes it a show more of their lives and loves in general, without necessarily angling for an endgame pair. Just like Bo-young, Min-ho is an important character, as is Jae-wook, but what's important about them is their tribulation and growth in a broader way than the narrow focus of rom-com allows.

*edited to clean up repetition, lols. maybe stop commenting on DB while at work XD

I actually agree with your observations that Min-ho is getting the whole main lead storyline. I also think he's the endgame. But I don't choose ships based on who I think is the lead! I choose who I think is better for our girl. If I get a broken heart at the end, then that's okay. :( If Min-ho grows up in the end and gets the girl, that'd be great too.

I think we shouldn't blame Bo-young for letting Min-ho be like that around her. It's not her fault that Min-ho is being an ass. It's Min-ho who should stop being a child and be a better person if he wants to pursue someone who's been nothing but kind and understanding to everyone. She's not close to the juniors because they keep ignoring her when she initiates conversation. Whereas with Min-ho, he's the one who keeps approaching her (at least now). It's not Bo-young's fault or responsibility that Min-ho acts like that.

The only characters that I truly don't like very much are the two juniors, their only function until now has been to provide gossip.

Yes, I mentioned them the other week, their role is to snark at Cry Baby Woo? C’mon writers ! They could at least be interested in Min-ho, hopefully he then loses interest in CBW.

he’s pretty darn swoony already without the internal monologue.

AMEN to that. Can you imagine if we actually knew the workings in that pretty little head of his? #passtheducttape

I also hope this ambiguity will last longer, because it is quite super funny for us shippers. But being serious, it has to be (i hope so) something logical who she will choose if she ever chooses at all. I hope, like @vicki27 and @growingbeautifully said, she would choose wisely, which could also means, choose herself.
But i am very happy with the writer who is giving us a true "kind of" love triangle where we don´t know (we really don´t) who is the main lead, who is the OTP.
I know, i know, Vicki also pointed out how much time the serie is giving Min ho to show his feelings, but we Ye liners don´t love him for nothing. He may have entered second in the story (timely speaking) but he has had also lots of screen time.

We will find out!!!

I’m Switzerland right now, and would love to hear your thoughts about Min-Ho. I have some of my own, and can really see him with her eventually, but not now. I get a brother-tormenting-his-little-sister vibe from him, and I do think that he probably has her best interests in mind especially when he keeps telling her that Dr. Ye sees her as just a colleague, albeit he’s uncouth and mean about it. Didn’t we say he was Gilbert Blithe on someone’s wall? And look where that ended up, one of my favorite couples in literary history. So don’t lose heart, I’m sure he’s the end-game here. I’ll just bring under this palm tree 🏝 watching it unfold.

nooo don't go, stay! Shipping is just a fun way to pass the time, nothing bigger! ALL poetry friends should stay and share their own perspectives! Think of it more as a shipping tea party (make tea, not war!) where we all exhibit different preferences in our choice of edible, be it cucumber sandwiches (Ye-line), macarons (Min-ho), chocolate eclair (Nam-woo)...okay help me out here guys, what are the others?
