What makes this show work is the chemistry between the leads, and because they had fewer scenes together this week, the story's overall weaknesses were more obvious.

I agree with your point about the show not needing the childhood connection, although I guess I can see why the writers felt they needed to make it clear that the fated connection between the leads isn't just due to the FL's ability to see her happy future with him. But I would have preferred that at least some of this part of the story replaced by more scenes between the doctor and cousin.

Ji-young is a ridiculous, one-note character but really, most of the secondary characters in this drama are pretty slight.

Pil-yo knowing all along that Ye-sool can see the future was a good twist, and I do appreciate that he has the potential--on paper, at least--to be a real option for Ye-sool considering how much she did once love him. But again, the chemistry between the leads is so strong, and their dynamic so interesting (I love that Min-hu is straightlaced and yet surprisingly goofy, a bit of an oddball, and very sexy) that I'm ready for Pil-yo to move on.

I was thinking that the bartender friend was the one about to attack her. What is his deal? Interesting how Ye-sool misinterpreted her visions. Either way, Min-hu needs to come clean. I mean, what is he so afraid of? Will she go running away screaming because he has heightened senses? What's so scary about that? Especially since she herself has a power, she of all people would most likely be understanding. I was glad when Min-hu put Ji-young in her place; he should have done it a long time ago. What I find most interesting is that Ye-sool felt fine telling Min-hu about her powers, but not Pil-yo. Could her being closed off to Pil-yo be a reflection that deep down inside she didn't trust him? If that is the case, her visions wee just an excuse she used to break up with him; maybe there was something else brewing underneath the surface.

I think the writer(s) lack a three-dimensional vision for their characters, and these episodes really showcased that. They've never really moved past the opening premise, that YS saw herself sleeping with Minhu. All sorts of interesting elements have been thrown out there -- he was waiting to meet her, he liked her for a long time, he's been mentoring and protecting her at work despite his criticisms, he wants a real and lasting relationship where they both are happy. But YS's whole character seems to consist of her visions, and whether to believe them and act on them, or whether to doubt them and run away. We found out at one point that Pilyo was not a great boyfriend -- he ignored her calls. That was an opening to explore why she really broke up with Pilyo - was it the visions? Or did the visions just make it easy for her to leave? If she really loved him, would she have fought for their relationship? But instead of answering these questions, and showing YS giving herself a chance to love Minhu, we just get her presenting a contract where they have to break up once they finally sleep together. So why would YS even care if he was kissing Ji-young, since she doesn't seem to have any feelings for him as a person? The break-in and kidnapping, Ji-young's antics, and the doctor and Ho-woo are all taking away time that the writers could use to make the relationship between YS and Minhu about more than one night in the future -- if they only they cared about YS as a character, beyond her visions.

I didn’t really find this weeks episodes as enjoyable, considering the cliffhanger for 6 left me quite excited. It’s very telling that the dramas magic comes from the leads interactions and when there was less of it and instead was filled with more misunderstandings, it dampened the mood.

I’m slightly thrown off by minu’s possessiveness and outward jealousy only because they just started dating and haven’t gotten to the stage where they are intimate enough to be straightforward with each other (regardless of what there future show them). The misunderstandings this episode was a bit out there especially ye sool who clearly saw him be disgusted with the second girls forced kiss but you can’t have a rom com without a good misunderstanding can you?

As for people who aren’t familiar with the source material the childhood connection is based from the Webtoon whereby Minu always knew and has been in love with her from the beginning. As cliche as it is, the drama is only following its source material.

This show rested on Min-Hu and Ye-Sool's hot night. But it's all.

I don't specially like Ye-Sool. I liked how Pil-Yo confronted her visions. He was right, she was in love with him but never shared her secret with him. She was the one who wasn't at 100% in this relationship. She's the one who always runs away. And now? She's still the same, she didn't start to date with Min-Hu yet, she was already talking about break-up.

Min-Hu reminds me so much the TV show The Sentinel, he could have been a hero! I think it's stupid he didn't tell her his secret yet. He kinda wants to use her but not her power... And he's supposed to be smart and he didn't see Ji-Young's feelings?

The mystery part is not interesting at all...

Did we need the childhood accident connection? No. Using past connections to inspire the current Mopix ad is a very good one but it should have ended there, a very satisfactory note. Thier being together now is already doing a lot of good and benefit, so why throw in a childhood connection. It's boring. So many sweet romance dramas have been ruined with childhood connection stunt.

I guess Ye-sool had good reasons to believe whatever her visions said and trust in it. All this time, all the things she foresaw came to pass -beginning with her father's death and down to the rainfall at the beginning of the drama. So if she saw a pained future with Pil-yo, she is right to draw away because she has never been wrong. One thought however is, why did her visions with respect to Pil-yo end up not true? Whatever happens moving forward I expected her to do one thing, mourn the loss of losing Pil-yo based on a confusing vision.
I am definitely not going to ship Pilyo and Ye-sool ever again in the romantic angle. They both deserve better. They will only end up hurting each other the mmore if they come back together.Truth be told, Ye-sool hurt Pilyo as much as she was hurt by the visions. Imagine kissing a partner and the partner only ends up drawing a line between you two each time. For something that was supposed to be intimate, alas! It wasn't. And he didn't know why, especially when we see that he loved her wholeheartedly, so it did break him. Pil-yo is a guy who deserves an explanation. Waiting for 3 years to prove her wrong is the best thing to do. Confronting her with his knowledge wouldn't suffice? Why? Ye-sool won't even talk to him. And, she doesn't trust him anymore. Even she said it, what difference would it make if you know why.
Being together now wouldn't do them any good. But I want them to talk things out properly. Mourn over what their love could have been and just hash things out. They both deserve it.

I don't understand the acting vibes Yoon Kye Sang is bringing in here on the romantic side. It's different from other actors and I love it. His unapologetic (the word I was looking for) and standoff romantic talkmode when they discussed the code is enough to throw me off balance and is one of the reasons I'm enjoying their romance arc. Ye-sool is always left disoriented 😁. How can you be so unaffected outwardly and serious?

After the last scene of episode 6, I could hardly wait for Wednesday to finally arrive. When the time came, Pil-yo made sure that I was slightly disappointed, especially after episode 8. Firstly by his very existence and then also because he got so much screentime. Pil-yo, please just go away.
However, I can still understand Ye-sool faltering. After all, she only ended the relationship because she misinterpreted her vision of the future. Besides, there was never any real closure with Pil-yo. And since Min-hu is still keeping his secret, he continues to keep his distance and not open up. The two dates were already a bit stiff, definitely not casual. Which isn't surprising either, because Ye-sool doesn't seem like she's in love with Min-hu yet. She still holds back a lot and builds up walls, for example by insisting on a contract.

How old is Ji-young, anyway? She acts like a fourteen-year-old brat and not like a grown-up woman. The forced kiss was the absolute crowning glory and I hope that she will now, at the latest, learn the consequences for her extremely assaultive actions.

The next idiot is Seung-taek, of all people, who lets Ho-woo feel his frustration.

Min-hu unfortunately also misses the mark once, namely when he tells Ye-sool that he is a jealous and possessive boyfriend. I hope he was just referring to the fact that it's not right for her to date two men at the same time. Probably only a saint would not be jealous in such situations, but show it differently. Fortunately, Min-hu has shown in the past that he is quite capable of restraining himself and not pressuring Ye-sool - unlike Pil-yo.

I could have done without the childhood connection, but it will be the explanation why both of them have their superpower, which is guaranteed to have appeared after the accident they had together.

Wait what? The kidnapper is the bartender Ajusshi? I totally missed that (it must show how uninterested I was in this plot 💀)

I'm also not convinced about the childhood connection PLUS the thriller; they could have honestly picked one.

I just love how direct Min-hu is and I understand his hesitation in revealing his secret to Yee-sol after Ji-young planted those doubts in his head. I wish she had just given him a second as he was trying to clear up the misunderstanding.

Oh Ji-young is really unlikeable and I wish Min-hu would just cut ties with her tbh. She did way too much.

Can Oh Seung-taek get a grasp of himself? I like him and didn't think he would go the "pushy" route as Ho woo's superior and I hate it. Just let her be FFS.

Please please please, can we fast forward all the unnecessary angst and bask in the amazing chemistry that our leads have? I have started looking forward to Wednesdays again after Love All Play

Ps: I don't want to jinx it but since the year started dramaland romance has served me with 3-4 MLs that I absolutely love. They know what they want and are upfront about (most of) it! More of that please.

Since we now know that the bartender is following her, perhaps it will be revealed that he is watching over her instead of trying to hurt her? I don't think the drama would have revealed him so soon if there wasn't still more to find out about why he is hanging around her at dangerous times.
Episode 8 was a bit of a let down, because as beanies have already noted, we didn't get enough time with our leads being together. The appeal of the show has been that the leads are clearly attracted together. I want to see them together more: bickering, working, and dating.

I found this weeks episodes very lackluster in comparison to the last. Felt like we were still stuck discussing Yesool-Pilyo bad breakup with no end or moving on from it. Basically the entire episode felt like a recaping of the last 6 with nothing going on when they had so much potential and places to go! A utter disappointment.

Hope next week this drama will be bang on! *Fingers crossed*

Am I the only one who appreciates the childhood connection? When I began to watch the show, I also disparaged it (GAWD, not another one, I thought). But a re-watch of the title sequence and Ye Sool's Ep. 1, Scene 1 dream made it crystal clear (if you pause on every second) that they were acquainted as children and their separate powers are because of one event - the "accident".

If I am wrong, I will admit it but I'm pretty sure MH wasn't a victim of the accident - he saved YS. (Dad died?) They each gained their special abilities at that time - they didn't have them before. Pretty sure he gave her mouth-to-mouth to save her.

AND, when they are near each other or touch (kiss) each other, that connection is amplified far greater than with others. Her kiss "cures" him. Her visions of MH were far more vivid than others. He FEELS (not hears, but FEELS) her presence from 100M away.

Their powers exist because of that childhood connection/event. I prefer that over some angel or alien or sorcerer enchantment explanation.

The secret-keeping, the refusals to hear explanations, the circular conversations, and the LACK OF KISSES definitely dialed down the magic this week. How can there be two whole episodes with only one wholly unwelcome kiss? KISS, dammit! IT’S RIGHT IN THE TITLE OF THE SHOW. There are too many flashbacks, and none of them are kisses!

A confidentiality agreement would be less irksome than the contract dating trope, but at least they get that and its inevitable discovery out of the way quickly. Hooray for MH for tossing the contract back at YS and saying “let’s just each do what we want” - but later he talks as if it’s in effect, grrr. And then Noble Idiocy pops its head up over the parapet with MH telling ST he won’t tell YS about his supernatural senses because it would be too awkward for her, although ST urges him to come clean and trust each other. When PY says he knew about YS’s ability to see the future all along, she also looks like a species of noble idiot in retrospect because she broke up with him rather than tell him what she saw.

The crime subplot is adding nothing to the show. Now that we’ve seen the bad guy/bar owner ahjussi, that finger-snapping is a giveaway. But come on, chloroform? Are we in a time warp? Is he going to kidnap YS, or is he using her as bait for MH?

This couple of episodes were frustrating for me. It seemed that the writer was stalling or that the writer actually changed for these episodes. Some scenes were so outdated, like so 2012, I couldn't help but roll my eyes: the forced kiss of Oh Ji Young (really??) and the whole scheming with the phone, ugh; the misunderstanding without communication, pffff! I mean, so far Min Hu and Ye Sool have shown us that they are both adults capable of communication, but what? you just see him clearly forced into a kiss and you just stomp off where? to the forest??? like why??? and the bar owner and the snapping of fingers, *sigh* and he, I assume, also sees in the future to know that she would definitely that night go to the forest and he would be able to attack her?? Bref, I thought those episodes were the weakest so far. I was so glad that the writer changed the story a bit from the webtoon, but one thing she was not able to do was to explain the background story on the ML, and the FL in relation to her family (her Mom). The relationship between Ye Sool and her Mom felt a bit awkward. Also, Pil Yo, I am just tired of him as a character, and I am utterly bored with his interaction with Ye Sool (I just want him to disappear for more OTP screen time and resolution of conflicts). Ye Sool is also kind of frustrating when she just stands there and is not firm in telling him NO!! But he also seems to not want to take no for an answer. I was really looking forward to those episodes but felt very frustrated and disappointed. Hope the next ones would be better.
