This meme pretty much sum up why I love this drama. It is somewhat like a fairytale - falling in love again with your first love and having a happily ever after with them. Seem not likely to happen but it did in this drama. The hopeless romantic in me is a sucker for these type of drama.
It has been a while since I like a couple in a drama as much as I like Hye Jin (HJ) & Sung Joon (SJ). I love watching SJ fall in love with the real HJ. Episode 6 has to be my favorite. Knowing that he kind of got her sick, he went to get her medicine. He tries to give it to her but dodging here and there whenever someone come near her. He tries to act cool and stuff but I am here giggling at how cute he was.
Of course, he was not fast enough and Shin Hyuk (SH) gave her the medicine first. But then he didnt just give up like that he left her an onion and she later found out it was from him. She drew a smile on it and he saw it and smile at it. Haha even the chief editor mistaking that he is dating
He continue to act strange the whole day. Talk to the onion saying he wont smile and then HJ came and he tries to act cool by doing stretch. I was dying on the floor laughing at him. HJ took some medicine so she was drowsy and she almost fell over but he was fast enough to be his hand pillow. The way he stare at her, I seriously think he want to kiss her. If it isnt Ah Reum coming in disturbing his train of thoughts and dropping HJ's head LOL
Then they all left and HJ is still sleepy so he park his car somewhere got on the bus with her and make sure she got off the right stop. By the time he get back to his car, it was tolled. That was so sweet. That night he made himself a smiling onion and again smile at it like an idiot. Oh SJ you are too cute. The onion did end up in the trash after the fake HJ confuse him but I was excited to see it reappear in episode 11! Long Live True Love
The next day the boy cannot keep his eyes off her. She caught him looking at her and he look away so cute
While they were talking about the business trip and Han Seol didnt want to go, so she suggest HJ. The way that SJ look so interested it was so obvious that he is looking forward to more time with HJ.
SJ is also very honest. I love when he finally come in terms of his feeling how many times he confess to her. At his house while rolling her sleeves for her; at the playground when she finally told him that Ha Ri like him and at the picnic site. When he told her, he live with regret for losing her for 15 years and now that he found her he want to spend all the next 15 years, and the 15 years after that with her. I seriously swoon. I know it was cheesy but SJ was so sincere.
HJ is such a caring friend. She know that SH like her but she know she cannot like him back so when she is so desperate to rush to the hospital to see SJ she refuse his offer for a ride for it is like rubbing salt on a wound taking the one you love to another man. She is so considerate. I did feel bad for SH but like HJ my heart is toward SJ (okay bias of course too since SJ is PSJ).
I love how well she know him. She know he is suffering with all the staff leaving and the pressure from NY headquarters so she wait for him in the parking lot to give him a hug in episode 13. This is also one reason why I love HJ over Mi-So. I seriously think both SJ and YJ just need a hug but Mi-So never initiate the hug so I am glad SJ have HJ to hug him.
After they think the fate of the magazine is pretty much doom, SJ left the party early to go back to the MOST office. HJ follow and SJ was tired so he lay on her lap and she just cried over him knowing how much pressure he have gone through by himself.
When these two are dating, there are absolutely adorable. I love watching SJ tease HJ that she was expecting another kiss when they were at the hospital. HJ was trying to explain herself and the boy kiss her three times and her reaction all three times are so cute.
Then when they steal kiss from each other during their basketball date in episode 14. I die from the cuteness
While they were doing long distance, their first skype call when they realized that they have 11 months before they see each other. How they both whine, I giggle like crazy.
When SJ finally came back and they spent a night at her parents, the bed scene was one of my favorite. HJ wait until her sister is asleep and slide up the door to peek at SJ. The boy is right next to the door waiting for her
Then of course their waving at each other and SJ pulling himself closer to the door so he can be as close as possible to her earning him a giggle. Seriously they are like two lovesick teenagers but you cant help but smile at them
He then extend his hand to her and she took it with both hands. The two of them then continue staring at each other as they sleep. How can I not fall in love with them.
They didn't share as much mouth to mouth kisses compare to YJ and MS in WWWSK but I like all their kisses - mouth to mouth, forehead, cheeks, hands. Now I sound like a kissing maniac
