Encounter #8: the best reverse-Cinderella story ever, complete with a fairy grandfather disguised as limo driver.
My greed knows no bounds: seeing two people drinking tea, eating, talking, holding hands or in each other’s arms… I am still left wanting a bit more.This shows reminds me how wonderful love can be when it’s right. 부럽다
I think I’ve been single too long. I found a lot of it very cheesy although it was very sweet. The slow pace of the relationship, the kiss that came after ages – that’s perfect for me. Why can’t men IRL slow down?
Completely agree about slowing down and enjoying each little step in the process.
It’s not a perfect show by any means but I appreciate the attention to detail, like her choice of mask, or him being photographed outside in the cold smiling at her all alone. There’s also an undercurrent of awkwardness that accompanies their physical interactions that I find realistic and endearing. JH is constantly hungry for more and keeps probing her boundaries, e.g. when he first tried to lay his hands on her shoulders during their walk, but once he got back to her place went for a full back hug. The way she completely trusts him to go just as far that she is ready… I wish more real world relationships were more like that (I did call this a fairytale for a reason).
You’re right. It is a fairytale. I do appreciate the show much more when you put it in that perspective.
In the early episodes, I felt for the ex husband and thought he made for a more compelling match for Soo Hyun than Jin Hyuk, but now I think otherwise. The ex husband is reality, and Jin Hyuk is a dream. I can see why Soo Hyun would pick Jin Hyuk – your dream come true.
That’s precisely why I call the ex a reality. As one who comes from a conservative country, the kind of marriage Soo Hyun had is the kind that I face if I don’t stand up for myself. (Of course, it may work out much better) In my experience, the ex is very much reality and Jin Hyuk is very much a dream.
Of course putting myself aside, in the story, the ex needs to stop imposing his feelings on her and needs to stop interfereing with her life at all – something which applies even more strongly to his mother.

Even the lead up to the kiss was beautiful. The progression of their relationship is hella sexy.
