Lovestruck took way too long getting past the endless beach flashbacks but now it has, it’s much better.

    Yes, I agree. It’s much easier to watch, especially since it feels like the side characters are getting more screen time. Also, while Eun-oh’s actions re Jae-won are completely inscrutable imo, she’s actually pretty likeable I find, especially when she’s around her friends. Mopey Jae-won is still meh, and I still want more of the other four friends (especially Rin-yi and Kyung-joon; they are so cute and both actors are so good!), but I’ll take the improvement.

      I guess you might panic when you discovered the guy you pretend-married when you were taking a break from your real life was actually connected to your real life…..(and then I will just strategically ignore the bit where she didn’t own up and just let him go on being miserable and tortured for ages and ages). Jae-won gets to be angry mopey now instead of mopey mopey which I feel is an improvement 😄 either way it’s better than the Happy Flashback Jae-won, I found him so irritating.

      I find both JaeWon and EunOh dislikable, but I have to be on JaeWon’s side. The fact that she’s been heartbroken doesn’t give her right to behave the way she did. Having said this, I think both JCW and KJW are doing a very good job, I’m liking their acting (and I found JCW meh at the beginning and couldn’t connect to KJW but now I do).

        Yes, agree – being heartbroken yourself doesn’t give you a pass on breaking someone else’s heart. I think if they’d cut down the timeframe on him finding her again so she hadn’t left him wallowing in misery for quite so long/cut down on the time spent flashing back to the beach I would like this drama much better.

        Then again I’m still watching it so 🤷‍♀️

        I don’t understand any of Eun-oh’s behaviour in re Jae-won, but I find her otherwise very likeable. I agree that being heartbroken is no excuse to yank Jae-won around, especially since she has knowledge of how devastating her behaviour has been for Jae-won.

        I still don’t connect to Jae-won or JCW’s acting at all; I still find him. I didn’t connect to KJW at all at first, but now I think she’s doing a pretty decent job.

        I still think the show should’ve focused on Sun-young, Geon, Kyung-joon, and Rin-yi more. They’re the real stars of this show.
