Ji Soo finally got the girl. This was a really sweet drama. It ended as it was meant to, sweet and awkward. Tae Oh was just such a good dude, so I'm glad he got happiness in the end. I felt bad for Do Hyun, but he'll do fine. As for Song Yi, she navigated her first loves beautifully and with as much poise as a young woman could. Oh Garin And Choi Hoon were meant for each other, that was a forgone conclusion, lol. But this was a fun little drama that didn't require 2 seasons, so hopefully Netflix will do better next time.

This long break... really doesn't do any justice to this drama. Was there any reason why Netflix split it into two? I hope it wasn't an attempt of 'forcing' multi-season series to mimic the western style tv. It took me a while to get used to the single season drama style but I'm now fully converted and I think it's one of the reason why Koreas drama industry produces such strong contents.

I really liked the first half but for sone reason i just couldn't get myself invested in the second half. I could not pin point the exact reason. Maybe it just the lost of momentum, or maybe it just my current mood.

This show was so cute. I loved Ga Rin and Choi Hoon the most. They were perfect for each other 💕💕💕
I posted this on my wall earlier and thought I would post it again here:
My main complaint is we never saw how Tae Oh and Song Yi started dating. She was dating Do Hyeon but then they kind of broke up and next thing I know Tae Oh is calling her his girlfriend. I wanted to see the awkward confession, the shock, and the decision to start dating! Why was that part skipped???

The other thing I didn’t like was how uncomfortable Song Yi looked in their relationship. She always seemed slightly stunned whenever Tae Oh would touch her or kiss her. She seemed much happier with Do Hyeon (at the beginning of their relationship). I was never really convinced that she actually liked Tae Oh as more than a friend.

My heart aches for Do-hyun! Also, Jinyoung is always the 2nd lead, never gets the girl.

I acknowledge that Tae-oh and Song-yi belong together, though. Just wished they realized it sooner so Do-hyun's heart won't be broken. He has been incredibly patient and understanding about their history and friendship. He's been juggling family issues, work, studies, and love and I totally understand why he can't be there for Song-yi sometimes. He just got the short end of the stick. Tae-oh, on the other hand, never seems to have any problems and issues like he does, so he can freely be there for Song-yi whenever needed.

Hopefully, Jinyoung will have another drama where he gets the girl; he's still away for military service.

Thanks for this review @missvictrix. I had no interest in watching the show, but the story you described makes me curious. I'll be noting this on my "to-watch" list. :)

Yeah, thank you @missvictrix, for the recap. I started this drama because it was a remake of one that I liked before (yes, friends, I'm so easy to please). However, I didn't much like the ending for that one. This time, it made me really glad that Tae-oh got the girl and still have his friendship with Do-hyun. Being an old romantic, I could easily see that Tae-oh loved Song-yi since before she moved in to his house. That's why I marathoned season 2 when it got out.

Light and sweet with shorter episodes. Better if you haven't seen the original version, or maybe that's just me.

I really enjoyed this drama on Netflix. It was a sweet story with great acting. Jisoo and Jung Chaeyeon are so cute. They make a perfect pair as each other's first loves. I was really annoyed when Netflix divided this into 2 seasons because it made me lose interest in the 3 months in between. It took me a while to get back into it so I hope they don't divide a Korean drama into 2 seasons anymore when it is just 1 complete drama.

okokokokokok yo you peeps!!!! Can. We. Just. Talk. About. Those. Puppy. Eyes?!! Jisoo my heart T-T

This second season was all coat porn! It's terribly hot here in Central California but all I could think about while watching this show was how much I wanted every coat that Ga-rin and Song-yi wore.

This explains a lot . . . WHERE is the 2nd season 'KINGDOM?' I need some more Korean zombie action. 'Train to Busan', 'Kingdom (1)' and 'Rampant' were not enough. Even if 'Rampant' featured Binnie gasping in irritated frustration: "There are so MANY of them." Right in the middle of a horde of bloody-faced undead.

like @yn00na, i was rather invested in the first half (i can't call it a 'season' lol) over the second! totally in Team Do-hyun then and just kept rolling my eyes through the whole Tae-oh and his 'girlfriend' arc. this time though.. it seemed like Tae-oh shined a little brighter than Do-hyun, which made me a little sad. still, it was cute seeing Tae-oh and Song-yi together eventually.

think one of the more impressive parts of this half was hearing Choi Hoon's words of wisdom haha. for all his misgivings... he somehow seemed to have hidden a mature and observant streak in him, that only emerged later in the show. glad that we got to see it!

don't even get me started on some of the loose ends of this show heh - like why Tae-oh's (ex?) gf was never called out for her two-timing. anyways, it was still a nice watch :) and it makes me wanna go to Jeonju on my next trip to Korea!

you can check out the locations we have for the whole of MFFL here (and more to come)!

Ga Rin and Choi Hoon were the highlight of this season for me! i need to see more of these actors works

I am so glad I waited until both "seasons" were available on Netflix to watch all of it - I so wanted Ji Soo to finally get the girl

this show was squishy and soft and wonderful. if they hadn't done a cut in the middle, it would have been a perfect show for what it was trying to be. i loved everything about it; it gave me hints of a reply 1997 or age of youth vibe where you were just relaxing with old friends and following them through their lives. it made me very warm and comfy inside.

This show was super cute!! I actually waited to start this until the second half was posted and thanks to a foot injury I was able to binge it the last 3 days. I felt like this drama was a perfect balance between slice of life (finding your dreams, growing up in friendships and love) and romance. I loved that it broke the mold of your typical kdrama and there was no unnecessary angst and separations. Just two friends who finally realized that they needed each other after going through their own loves and then coming back to each other.

And Jisoo FINALLY got the girl! Twice!

Thanks @missvictrix for the weecap.

It’s September 2023 and after a couple of failed attempts to watch this drama over the years I finally jumped in. Thankfully, I was able to watch it straight through, I would have been super frustrated if I had been left hanging for a couple of months waiting for the second half.

The second female lead role was as frustrating as per usual but in this case her hurt and hard done by presentation just because for the first time ever she was not the one getting all the attention was particularly annoying seeing how fickle she was in her relationships generally.

The second male lead was lovely but at the start of the drama he had said he didn't have the time to spend on relationships as he had to get his life in order and unfortunately for him he was proved right on multiple occasions. I was particularly concerned that a terrible situation could have occurred and rather than be thankful that his girlfriend was safe he seemed to imply that leaving her to suffer was the better option during the times he was otherwise occupied.

On the whole whilst the benefits of money provided options for the rich characters we also so the problems it caused in family dynamics and friendships. The emotional and physical abuse by the parents in this drama once again are at shocking levels.

The friendship/love story was beautiful he really was the perfect friend and it was probably a good thing that they were well into their adult years and had other relationships before they realised they had the real thing. This is a couple for life, who will endure and survive and have space and time for the special people in their lives too.

I really liked this drama and would recommend it to others.
