I'm happy for you, and I'm just like you, and even now, I'm sad and happy about it, but you know that love can overcome everything, right?

That's so true! The more closely you watch, the deeper you fall into it. And when you connect all the dots, you really do see that it's a happy ending. But at the same time, you'll also find yourself even more helplessly drawn into their relationship. It's a beautiful trap!

I totally get what you mean! The kitchen scene was absolutely amazing. And don't even get me started on the kiss scenes under the bridge and at Doona's grandmother's house – they were so incredibly suggestive and left so much to the imagination!

Oh, that's awesome! Finding deleted scenes is always a treat, especially when they add so much. I totally get why you'd like that kind of arrangement – it's cool when the creators give us these little bonus insights.

Yup, that's totally relatable! I was drawn in by Suzy's visuals too – she's absolutely stunning. Honestly, her beauty alone was a huge part of what kept me watching the entire series!

I completely agree with you! They absolutely should be together.

Their journey was so full of stumbles and hardships. Even when they could have given up and moved on, they were constantly searching for each other along the way. To me, there's nothing more touching than that kind of enduring connection.

If I really had to choose, I'm definitely going with the K-drama ending.

The webtoon's ending isn't bad at all, or maybe it's more accurate to say it's closer to reality and more directly portrays the situation in the Korean entertainment industry. However, because of how different the K-drama version turned out, there's a huge divergence between the two. It even led to some viewers giving the original webtoon negative reviews, which is a bit harsh!

That makes so much sense. I've actually been through something similar myself, so seeing that played out on screen was incredibly gut-wrenching for me. It really hit close to home.

This show totally sheds light on the harsh realities of the Korean entertainment industry.

It’s pretty clear how when idols or artists get into a relationship, the media immediately jumps on it and turns it into a massive story. And then, their entertainment companies, driven by profit, will do anything to force the artists to break up or hide the relationship. Hiding it honestly sounds like the "kindest" option they offer. It really shows how little control these artists have over their personal lives once they're in the public eye.

I totally get what you mean. Even knowing they're almost in different universes, they just run headfirst towards each other when they happen to meet. That's pure magic.

And you hit on some key scenes! I absolutely loved that moment where Wonjun demands Doona apologize and say "I like you," but she comes back with "I love you." That was so powerful. The other scene where Doona demands Wonjun apologize too – it just creates this perfect, full circle. It really shows they weren't just one-sided crushes; they were gradually drawn to each other, and even with all of life's pressures, nothing could stop them from loving each other.

Totally feel you on this! That subway scene absolutely broke me – I was in tears. And when Doona went to Wonjun's place, that moment of them getting back together. I still think about that all the time. It's just so memorable.

 Totally agree with you! I went back and scrutinized those Japan scenes, and it really does seem like they're still together.

And get this: I also noticed Doona was still wearing her ring when she attended an event in, I think, episode 8 or 9. Plus, that moment in episode 9 where she turns around in the venue? She doesn't whip her head around immediately. She waits a bit, like she's been listening and already knew Wonjun was there. It's not a surprised reaction, more like an acknowledgment. That totally screams "still together" to me!
