Thank you so much for all the insightful recaps. It has been such a good journey to share with you. While we may (technically) be watching dramas alone but this sharing of thoughts, feelings and emotions that the dramas evoke in us is very cathartic. Especially when led by such thoughtfully written recaps which set the tone for our discussion.

I liked the opening scene. While it was expected that Ki-joo may not necessarily be able to return by sunrise, the one year gap seemed unexpected. But at least it was better than the brief goodbye after 20 years of radio silence by Samchon. I think we can have a whole drama about what Ki-won was up to for all these years and how (and if) he was able to help Ki-joo take over the mantle and run the family business. Also how did Ki-joo run his Studio before he got the ghostly assistants. Did he have other assistants before.

I really liked that his unfailing kindness "earned" him the chance to come back from the netherworld. Many Beans have raised valid points - why couldn't the Grim Reaper just take back the camera and why did it have to be Ki-joo who returned it.

While the Bom - Ki-joo love story shines, despite their smiles the Ji-won and Seung-ho story left me somewhat quizzical. One way to deal with it was to have no pat resolution and just maintain status-quo. So unsatisfying to the audience but it made sense in-drama. Although his teaching class and book *can ghosts publish books!?* left me more than a little wary.

I missed Nam Goo. Again his story made sense in-drama but was overall unsatisfying. In retrospect his relationship (or lack thereof) with Na-rae seemed tacked on in the drama. As expressed so beautifully in the recap last week, the couple "missed the chance to either reconcile or part amicably".

Overall I was happy with a peaceful (if you look past the premise 😂) kind of drama with not many surprises and a happy ending with the K-drama mandated year long leap. I'm not going to question why.

While falling short of being perfect (also somewhat impacted by the disturbed airing schedule) it was a drama that warmed my heart. Again as so astutely stated the Studio offered "comfort of seeing people get the kind of closure that’s too often denied in reality". I really like how the recap expresses these insights so evocatively. Kudos for the brilliantly written and empathetic recaps, in harmony with the overall tone and vibe of the drama. 🙏

"It may be time to say goodbye, but every ending is really just a new beginning.".

Let's see and enjoy another drama together!! Hwaiting!!! 👏 ♥️ 😍

Sigh, honestly after this aired, the meme/picture of the horse drawn so beautifully deteriorating into a child's drawing came to mind (even though that's not 100% accurate since this was never beautifully detailed but I digress).

Once again, I felt like did the writer not know what to do with characters and that's how we ended up with these conclusions. While it was cute and appreciated, the way Ki Joo was saved seemed oh so contrived.

It is nothing short of outrageous. It is fantastic if you are a tall, good looking young man with a gorgeous voice and have the good fortune to be paired with a stellar actor like KHY. BWS is a delight in LR but he is not an acting powerhouse like she is. Her excellence benefitted him and made him shine. So so unfair that he gets to reap the benefits of this collaborative endeavour while she has to wait in the wings. Gender bias in a patriarchal society has a long tail.

Haha! Thank the Goddess for small mercies!

Kiara, it’s wonderful. LFIS made me want to engage with other stellar sports themed KDs so SL was my second one of these.

Is there a clip of the reaction which you can share, please?

I would have been the one screaming on the top of my lungs indeed.
Yeah, the nomination was outrageous enough. We had a disaster averted.

As much as I loved Lee Honee in the KF, Ahh Eunjin was robbed.

That is a pity because even if TW wasn't a high-budget drama, it was far more entertaining than fancy ones with weak writing.

Wow, those of us who watched The Kidnapping Day SAID the child actress killed her role and deserved awards!

Good on her.
Same for Honey Lee and Knight Flower.
I'm not even a little surprised Namgoong Min nomination or win. Kudos to him too.

Congrats to Lee Yi Kyung on his nomination. He totally deserved it.
