For a moment I thought it would be great that JaeWon and SeonYeong could actually meet and connect and become a real couple. Both of them don't like their partner to be friends with someone of the opposite sex, so they could be perfect together, and maybe JaeWon would learn to move on. I wonder if drama is going that way.

I really hate all the jealousy thing in dramas about boyfriend/girlfriend being mad and menacing to break up because of the boy / girl friend of the other. It's not jealousy, it's not love, it's insecurity and possession. It's a trope I hate both in fiction an in real life.

I'm surprised on how little I'm liking KJW here. And it's not only that I dislike her character, but she just doesn't fit in the drama: not as Eun-Oh nor as SunAh. Maybe it's only that I don't get her motives, first to run away, then to fake being someone else, then to go back and not face the fact the man she fell for is friends with her friends. So as I don't get any of her character's motivation, I don't connect with her acting.

To my surprise, though, I'm understanding better JaeWon and I find JCW acting better. Still finding JW annoying, true, but I get his point and why he's not over the woman he fell so hard for, and that's because of JCW's acting (or something).

I also hope we get to know who SunAh is and that adults talk about how bad is lying, and please, let JW get a closure and never see EO again, because she's quite toxic.

I was really intrigued by the last scene, btw.

The sexy dance made me laugh a lot. That being said Jae Won needs closures Eun Noh should have stopped after the first time she slept with him. She let herself get caught up and now she literally runs away from him. What a mess.

As for Rin Yi and Kyung Joon:😍😍😍😍😍😍, they are so cute.

As for Geon and Seon Young: She needs to let it go. They seem to be great friend/siblings. Don't be mad.

Thanks, @sailorjumun, for the recap! Like I said before, I don't get why Eun-oh has to run away from Jae-won because I don't know her back story. Please let it be this week so I can understand her better. Geon being solo since he broke up with Sun-yeong is great! I really think that a gift given is already the receiver's and the giver should never get it back, specially since Sun-yeong didn't want to give back the handbag the other ex gave her.

I think these episodes helped me understand Jae-won quite a bit more. He thought he met someone special, had sex in a trailer for 2 months uninterrupted, had his life revolve around this person and then got ghosted. I called him whiny but it'd be weirder to forget someone so easily.

For Eun-oh, running away seems juvenile but covering up for lies makes us do silly things.

In Kyung Joon's defense, at some point the whining gets old and you have no choice but to shut it out. There's a quote that is particularly my favorite from Downton Abbey...."A lack of compassion is just as vulgar as an excess" ....I think this extends to more than compassion, it extends to some general emotions like disappointment, love and most importantly to somebody whining. That also sums up my feelings for Jae Won....As for Eun Oh/Sun Ah......she is the kind of flaky, wishy washy person I would not wish on my worst enemy. She is the kind who leaves a trail of damage as she leaves with this casual disregard that she mistakes as quirk which is actually a defense mechanism for not admitting that she is a pretty terrible person to herself...she reminds me of Great Gatsby's Daisy. Not sinister on that level but reminds me anyway.

“ For a moment, it seems like they might cross paths on the street, but no, this drama wants us to suffer a bit longer.”

😄😄😄 that is exactly what I thought

Messy and random thoughts:

1. Why Kyung Joon and Rini aren't the main couple? WHY?

2. I don;t dislike Jae Won that much now, Eunho is getting the first place on my "this character is getting on my nerves" list.
Jae Won obssesion is annoying, yeah. He's pathetic and makes me cringe every-single-time-he-oppens-his-motuh. YEAH.
But, I guess he tought "wow, this girl saw that I'm annoying and obssesive, but she still wants to be with me, SHE SAW THAT I'M MORE NEEDY THAN TED MOSBY AND SHE STILL WANTS TO BE WITH ME. SHE'S THE ONE".
...And then Eunho just dumps him. Leaving him lost...
And that's "fine" is there was an actual reason behind. But that's not the case.
I mean, she really thinks she can avoid him forever even tho she's bestie with the people that are closest to him?
And if she could...
then WHY did she go there?

This woman goes to print the pictures to that place he said he was a kind of a regular. I mean, she wanted him to appear there or the ahjussi to reconigze him or something like that.
For me, going there was a statement "I'm here. I still remember you. I haven't move on either". But then she meets him and she runs away. But then she cries over their pictures...
She's worst than Stella.

3. Why Kyung Joon and Rini aren't the main couple? WHY?

Sun-young is so toxic, she is borderline psycho. Forcing her boyfriends to strip on the street in the middle of winter and in a police station? She does not deserve love. Geon is a masochist if he gets back together with her (again), and I would judge him.

Jae-won and Eun-oh had a whirlwind romance to the point of marriage, then she ghosted him. No wonder he has no closure. Rin-yi is dense to not know Kyung-joon's feelings when he was almost stalking her.

After some time with these characters, they all looks kinda crazy... Rin Yi and Kang Geon seems pretty normal but the fact Kang Geon just accepted to give his clothe like that...

In the last episode, there was no monologues to the camera anymore. I missed it.

Sailorjumin I agree that it is time for Jae-won to discover the truth because he really is all alone. The callous remark made by his co-worker about his being a drunk just because he got dumped by a girl really demonstrated how alone he is. No one sees his pain- and he truly is in pain. With no support from friends how is he to get over it?

As for Eun-oh- I really do not like her at all. I actually hope that Jae-won can finally really confront her - and get his cameras back. And his heart with them. He deserves real closure- and she deserves to see his back as he walks away. She is a fool who does not understand the value of love. He needs to meet a woman who does- because he certainly does.

At this point I dont want our main couples to even get back together. They are definitely toxic with each other. And it's even more frustrating to to see KJW's character going at extreme lengths to hide the truth. I feel bad for JaeWon even when the charcter is whiny and impulsive because he truly deserves a closure. And I wonder why did she even start something if she can't face its consequences like a mature adult? She knows he needs a closure and still stubborn enough to not give any explanation. She is really a coward and she has not even given a legit reason for her behaviour.... I dont know how makers are gonna make her character likeable coz the character is definitely so frustrating to watch. I love KJW but definitely not Eun oh.

"I find so much in this show ridiculous, but I still want to see the fallout. I deserve to see it, dammit."
My thoughts exactly.*sigh* dammit!

Such an aimless drama :)

Eun-Oh’s behaviors are like a 15 year-old girl’s, who is having identity crisis and doesn’t know her self-worth. It’s frustrating to watch.

I did expect more from a drama that has JCW as the male lead.

Seriously? Seriously! Are we expected to believe that this woman spent six weeks in a caravan with one of the most beautiful men in the world and there could be ANY POSSIBLE REASON that makes any sense whatsoever that she is ducking out of meeting him??? I mean, if she turns out to be a psychopathic homicidal maniac who is avoiding him because she doesn't want to end up killing him................I might be a little more understanding if that was the case......... I tell you what, this man needs a decent manager to stop putting him in these half-assed dramas which are ridiculous. I mean, a melting man, and now a half-witted female lead? Sorry, I'm out! After Healer and Suspicious Partners, I thought he was so terrific I'd be happy to watch him shelling peas, but OH DEAR HE DOESNT HALF PICK IDIOTIC dramas. GOODBYE beautiful JCW hopefully we will meet again when you pick something that requires an IQ of more than 50.

I started out both hating Eun-oh/Sun-ah's character (both identities) and being convinced that her motivations as a character were unconvincing. But as I think it through now, perhaps there is some truth in it. Thinking it through: She's afraid of being rejected because she's a different person than the one she projected on holiday. As beanies have already said, how many people have done that: gone away on a holiday and taken on a different identity that you look back on with embarrassment? She's clearly stuck: she's comfortable with her friends and her "real identity" as Eun-oh, but she actually wanted to get away from that identity and take on a more carefree hippy girl, Sun-ah's identity. The ramifications of that choice have been deeply damaging to Jae-won, and she finds herself living a lie that she is running away from.

Thing is, can someone in rl do this: be so embarrassed about being "someone else" that you could not bear for the two worlds to come together and be prepared to sacrifice someone you developed an intimate relationship with and hurt them deeply?

I couldn't do it. I'd have to fess up. I couldn't hurt someone I cared about that much. Would I be prepared to run the risk of rejection? Would I want to get in first and reject before I got rejected? Yes and No. I wouldn't want to be rejected, but the chance is that he won't do that because he really loves her. And people who reject before they get rejected are despicable and cowardly IMO.

So I've come full circle and reasoned myself in a circle from hating her and thinking she's an unconvincing badly written character to thinking that perhaps she's convincing in rl, to getting back to thinking her motivations are despicable. Everything depends on where she goes from now.

It all brings me to a grumbling issue: the representation of women in k-drama. I fall whole heartedly for the MLs but find many of the women irritating in so many ways I'm going to have to write more about it to sort out my thoughts.

Late to chime in. I was reluctant to give this drama ago so only started it last night. Then I binged all the 8 episodes and am eagerly waiting for more.

I am surprised at how much flak Eun-oh is getting! I actually love KJW in this and can empathise with the character. I totally understand the criticism that she is immature in her handling of the break-up and not considerate of Jae-won, but I find that real life romantic relationships can often end in a messy way. From her perspective, she needed some time to get away from her suffocating 'real world' and Jae-won provided her with an escape from that. I think they both got what they wanted from each other during the vacation, the only difference was that Jae-won wanted to bring the relationship back to Seoul, while Eun-oh was happy to leave things as they were.

Sure, Jae-won needs closure, but Eun-Oh just wants to leave the vacation fling behind her. I personally don't think that she 'owes' him any explanations if she's not comfortable with meeting him again. Sure, an explanation may help Jae-won to move on (though maybe not, from what we've seen of his lovesickness), but what's in it for Eun-oh?

I guess I'm a minority, but I love this show! I personally don't mind Jae-won and Eun-oh ending up together, but I would need to see a huge amount of character growth on both sides. From the first half of the drama, their personalities and attachment styles seem ill-suited for a serious romantic relationship.
