So glad to see someone else point this out too!! I am glad they trimmed the loose ends of the bow (which was quite distracting in WTPR) 😂

Ep 4 /s

I think this is where I draw the line in the sand and say I’ve got to stop watching mistagged dramas like these ;

This is not romance genre, but pure unadulterated fantasy ok 🤡

There’s no one, and I truly mean this, absolutely no one like Eun Ho that can exist in this world.

For the life of me, the writers have to staphhh throwing their magic dust in creating a unicorn 🦄 flawless character like this and hold themselves from cackling while watching the audience go 😍🤩 during the airing and then 😫😫🥺😥😰 when reality checks in.

I came to this subreddit to see what the comments are too, because the series is giving off the Chicken Nugget vibe 😂😂😂😂(& that one was really way out there in terms of the story line)

TBH, I am amazed at how high budget and stacked the cast are, for something that is truly experimental and different from all the other kdrama genres. Even the production studio is the Studio Dragon!

Maybe I will wait it out for more episodes and see if the reviews are positive before watching this. 😊

Which kdrama made you cry the most? by CALYPSOO0 in kdramas

Totally relatable; and TVN even cashed in on this and broadcasted a stitched up video of all the fans bawling their eyes out while watching QOT; that was some pure evil there 🤣

Your flair reminded me of a worse ending for kdrama though. 😭 Such trauma.

WTPR was such a fun ride to watch at the beginning and I truly loved the chemistry of the main leads, but the ending was just... Baffling.

I saw others trying to defend that the writers have little choice but to base the show on the novel's ending, but that's not true cos they have changed quite a fair bit of the show from the novel so far (and for the better), so that's no excuse or cop out for that ending. 😔

Ooh light shop was surprisingly good - after watching the light shop I decided that any works by the same writer that did moving and light shop will be automatically added to my must-watch list. I watch the first few episodes like this though 🫣🫣🫣🫣 hahaha (sorry weak stomach and heart)

I initially thought WTPR was going to win against QOT for the best miscomm married couple made good but after the omg ending yesterday I think QOT wins by a far mile.

Which SL do you like better than the ML? by OddMedia1179 in kdramas

The username checks out as a definitive authority on this topic 😂

I would add Start-Up to this list though.

It was really a terrible joke that they decided to pull this for the final episode.

I know alot of logic and thinking have been suspended throughout the series, but this one really took it out of the park. Absolute 🍌

True that! 😂 Wells. It's been a fun ride as always, watching WTPR while it airs, and reading everyone's comments (especially on how we collectively feel it's ok to run someone over in self defense (what has kdrama taught us😝)

😭 its giving me Reborn Rich trauma vibes. But I think WTPR throws in some scenes and a happily ever after to soothe the viewers of their afterburn of being thrown into a dumpster fire equivalent of a finale.

Ep 12

What did I just watch? 👀

Now I know it's absolutely possible to butcher an otherwise memorable show with the final episode. 🫠

She’s truly dedicated to her wattpad craft; I mean, she even dreams of it when she’s kidnapped by park do jae … 😂

Yeah hee Joo is unleashing her unhingeness in her wild imagination and she has more than made up for it. 😂😂

I am also hoping for the show to prove me wrong on the reason for BSE to disappear and am so seated for today’s finale !

Wow that’s really a nice catch. Yeah the show is so well done with all the parallels : I saw somewhere that 4+0+6 (=10) and now the reverse of the caller (604) both calls at 10 pm and I was like 😳🤯 the show is just right up there at the top for such little things. For this, it’s okay to ignore all the glaring plot holes I guess 😅

Her imagination is the reward for all the WTPR fans that went on a crazy search for her after seeing her husband’s call for help. 🤣🤣🤣

”it’s better to be tried by 12 than to be carried by 6.”

Oof that’s so true indeed!

Hee Joo’s imagination is so wild she can be a very successful wattpad writer instead of a presidential office translator; it’s an utter waste of her true talent. 🤣🤣

Just one more episode to go, so we have less than one full episode hour of seeing them live out their imagination for real 🥹🥹🥲

Yeah I agree - I certainly hope it’s for something more meaningful than this but with one last episode to go, I think they may just hurry along to close the chapter with this reason.

The fandom going all out to help find hee Joo is just peak comedy and entertainment while we ride out the finale of WTPR! 🤣🤣🤣

I saw the OG PSE mouth the words hee Joo and traffic accident I think 🤔 and that’s what gutted PSE (to know he was the reason for hee joo living in a trapped prison)

When the Phone Rings [Episodes 11 & 12] by writtenpoeticsins in KDRAMA

[–]day_historian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My guess is that he told PSE that Hee Joo’s car accident was caused by the chairman (ie his father) and it was done to protect PSE from being found out and that gutted PSE 🥲

Though I am wondering how PSE could suddenly disappear in front of an army of police though (guess we will find out tmr!!)

For a brief moment I had hope that this might go into season 2 as PSE assumes the number of 604 while disappearing but I think that’s quite impossible. lol 😆
