I’ll be honest: I’m only watching Chocolate for YKS. I know it’s a melo but the series of unfortunate events are all happening at once and are all too sudden… without a cause! I don’t feel the dots connecting and the story comes out so contrived, it’s hard for me to relate well to the characters. The actors are doing an amazing job carrying the show on their shoulders because otherwise, the plot is bland.
In as much as I like Yoo Teo, I don’t even get his character. Like, where did he come from? Why is their bond so strong? And really, there has to be more to Cha Young and Lee Kang’s characters that she’ll feel such a bond. I mean, she forgot his name. They need to show us how she came to fall in love with him as she met him again – enough to go to a whole other continent to escape him. Hopefully, they will.
Everything just feels forced so I’m barely attached to the story they’re telling. I’ve been skipping through tbh. Big ups to the actors for pulling the weight! Oh, and the OST!!! The OST is amazing!
It seems like Cha Young sees him as her happy place. In childhood, she was forced to do what she didn’t want. Later on, some boy showed her something that made her tear up from the happiness. After the death of her parents, she was trying to find that feeling of happiness or find that escape from the real world. Plus, she is working as a chief, so this encounter must have meant a lot more for her than for him. It doesn’t help that her prince charming is still a kind person.
I get that he reminded/reminds her of good and happy times. But she barely knows him and unless much of her falling in love happened off screen, most of what they’ve shown us doesn’t add up. It doesn’t make sense to me, at least. I don’t see where/how she could have developed a love so strong she’d move to another continent away to avoid him. The time-skip makes it even harder for me to connect. I get a crush or even a sense of attachment but she couldn’t even remember his name.
Maybe I’m just the one who doesn’t get it. 🤷🏾♀️
I’m guessing some things happened off screen and we may get more flashbacks. Earlier she did say it wasn’t love yet. She might’ve developed more feelings after the three of them spent more time together.
I agree that I think we’re supposed to accept that he made her extremely happy once. She also fell for him when she watched him at work, and then when she was around him as her boyfriend’s bff. Being around him became too much and she realized she was in love with him, not her boyfriend, so she left.

I haven’t seen many signs that he’s still a kind person. His medical ethics are sorely lacking too.
