I gave up for just the reasons you stated.

Still stuck on ep 12… I’ve figured that now that I’ve spoiled myself, I might as well wait until it’s available in my Netflix region and at least watch it in HD (I suspect that watching it pixelated on a dodgy site might also explain my loss of interest… one of the things this drama has is its beautiful cinematography)

Totally agree on the Emotional Tax point!

Dan’s mum was the best part of the show.
In the last episode she was THE BEST.
Ducklings were fantastic too, as well as hens.
And as much as I liked the OTP, my heart was with SeungJoo and Dan.
Now, you can imagine how my heart is.
I also FF a lot, specially the last episode (mainly because I was waiting for the Spanish subs, they didn’t arrive, I began to read comments on the Beanie Fan Wall, I didn’t want to be spoiled, so I went with English subs, and by that time it was 10 pm, and on Monday I had to wake up really early).

I don’t think it’s an unpopular opinion. I think the first half was solid. Yes, cheesy but solid.

The second half when they moved to Seoul was excruciatingly boring and over the top cheesy. In the end I only cared for Dan, her mom (The actress is truly gifted) and the Ducklings.

Many of us felt the same way.. After enduring (yes, thats the word) the last 2 epsiodes @13infamyss pointed out that CLOY was in last years bean count!!! not this years..

The show started off great – It was wacky, a great set up, had fantastic humor, amazing secondary characters and saw some good emotional connect between the leads. I was rooting for them.
And then it ran out of content. We had extended teary farewells, multiple fake deaths, even the villian didnt die, no progress with OTP relationship etc. And whats worse the episodes were brutally long. Towards the end I didn’t care of the OTP got together or not. I was exhausted.
And then they had to do this to Gu and Dan. bad writers. bad.

I also finished it for the sake of that 1 bean, and because I have no other k-drama I watched at the moment. Also, I do think the super long duration for each eps didn’t help make the story any more interesting.

I think i love this show for the same reasons everyone kinda hate it. Like how i cheer when i saw the duration of the last episode is almost 2 hours 😂. But i can see why it could be off-putting for others. I guess that’s just the beauty of drama watching and thank goodness we have many other options that caters to each and everyone’s taste.

erghhh I can’t believe i avoided the fanwall for 4 days only to find there was nothing to spoil except for the unfortunate demise of Seung Joo. Beautiful as it was, ep 15-16 was really boring (other than ducklings/mum+uncle/ahjummas like everyone agrees). CLOY really could have done it all in 12 episodes. And i’m glad i’m not the only one who feels the same way as the unpopular opinion..sobs..

One more thing, I kept thinking of Vagabond while watching the finale..esp the scenes w NIS..obviously there had to be some suspension of disbelief while watching CLOY but it really was getting too much in 15/16.

Same reason I haven’t watched it since ep10! Though I will most definately finish it sometime all for the bean!!

Best character of the whole drama. I love her so much. She is a real mum, who cares for her daughter and nothing more. She tells Dan: we can cry and mourn together, and then to HJ’s mum, the she has to cancel the engagement because her daughter loves another man. I cried rivers in that scene. She was only thinking about Dan. Oh, she was just amazing.

At the end I was shouting “Yes! Yes! Yes!” And the preview looks more amazing. Didn’t someone complaining about not knowing about those 8 years? Soon 😁

Good for him.

I’m still shocked by how this is somehow something to hide.
It’s such a natural thing.
Love is the most natural thing, as having a baby is.

The ducklings are precious!

Yes – and yes again!

Oh, this is beautiful.

I got Ji Sung Joon lol

Hugs, me too, i even cut of JCW from my oppa list, my errands just don’t end.

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop is tiring. I feel ya, my fellow Errand Boy. Let’s keep jumping until we find that perfect spot on the rooftop. Fighting!

*pours you a foot soak tub*

Why thank you, @kethysk. It’s been a while. <3 <3 <3

I'll let you in on a little secret: The danged thing is drafty in the winter. And you wouldn't believe the static cling that builds up when the humidity is low. My frizz looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket. I regularly get zapped. Then, in the summer heat, the sequins adhere to my fundament — and they crunch whenever I sit down. A real PITA.

I'd better get cracking and resume posting voluminously so I can shuck off my Sparkly Tracksuit Of Unemployed Slackerdom and bequeath it to a deserving maknae. I’m hoping to inherit one of @lollypip‘s snazzy gently-used Contract Girlfriend ensembles — since she has moved up to CEO’s Overworked Secretary. I wonder when that happened?! 😉

Cheers, and a belated Happy Lunar New Year! 😉

I want to reach this level so bad, but I’ve been an Errand Boy for a little over a year now 😭

I really liked the first episode in all its bad-CGI fantasy crazy. I didn’t like the rest and quickly dropped it.

You will like it, I promise! Keep watching! I think the CGI is meant to be bad—like in the wizard of oz bad.

There’s Bad bad and Good bad. CLOY falls under the Good category of bad.

Keep watching, you could love it! (I disliked the pilot CGI, too, but I’m loving all the other things)

You have to totally go with the silly fantasy for awhile. If you can forget about reality, it’s a fun and sweet watch so far. I think you’ll like it.

I’m hoping for a Series Review.

Both favorites of mine from last year! I was late finishing Camellia too. But it was so worth it!
