*Incorrect Start-Up dialogue*
Suzy: What big hands you have!
Nam Joo-hyuk: All the better to hold yours with, my dear.

[archanak]

Oh man.. Acting.. Nam Joo hyuk's acting is so on point that you can feel his heart fluttering.

[LeggoKaylaSamps]

Admit it everyone: THIS is even more heartwarming and fluttering than a typical kissing scene. I can't with the butterflies in my stomach 💕

[andreacanlas]

Han Ji Pyeong is a typical KDrama lead. Successful, rich guy who loves you from a far. He's arrogant on the outside but is sweet deep inside. Never commits a mistake. Will support you secretly. He meets the girl and his personality softens.

But Dosanie is a just a regular guy who is upfront with his feelings, awkward but dependable, shy but determined, flawed yet perfect. He is sweet towards his parents and his friends. His love is too pure for dalmi and he's willing to improve for her. He's the kind of person that will trust you and go thru the journey with you. This may be an unpopular opinion but in real life setting, NDS is the best romantic partner.

We will never meet people as their perfect selves. the idea of discovering your strengths and weaknesses while achieving your dream together is beautiful. that makes dodal a great pair.

I love how consistent dosan's personality is. He's funny because he's ridiculously logical and a tad awkward around people😂 It's a great balance with Dalmi's optimistic and idealistic personality.

[AmiF-okto]

I know this kind of troupe ain't new, but still I find it refreshing since it wasn't often used. Guy being embarrassed, shy, and giddy while the girl is more forward with her actions. It's a nice dynamic specially in the kdrama world filled with rich handsome jerks who always get paired with naive crybaby heroine.

Nam jo hyuk can make every single detail of the expression. The way he expresses his emotion is so natural that everyone can mistake it as real. He is growing in every single drama. If you see each and every drama simultaneously you will see the revolution of his acting. He is doing better and better each and every single act. You will get to see something new, something different in each project. I just love the way he is improving. I can just say he is revolving into a great actor. Fighting Nam jo hyuk. We, fans are rooting for you.😎😀😉😊

[kimriya]

She should stop it, he almost got cardiac arrest🤣

[ji-ah]

NJY’d acting is unreal. I could hear his heart beating. He’s so shy in this scene.

[nicebeing]

I was actually so happy she discovered his identity (fake persona) early on! It made less cliche and interesting!

[demrene]

do-san is underrated because they focus more on the second lead. i mean yes han jipyeong is a good boy and he might be the "first love" because of his letters. but as the episodes goes by, i think thag dal-mi is falling for the real do-san and i think that is beautiful. the feelings you develop irl is different from the love that you develop from letters.

[skskaly]

I can watch this a million times. I won't get tired. They are so cute!

[CryKaze]

It’s been a long time since I’ve found a drama that I thoroughly enjoy. The story line isn’t boring, the pacing is good, romantic scenes aren’t cliché, and all the characters are likeable! It’s nice to finally see a male lead that isn’t stone cold and a jerk. I love how Dosan is a pure and innocent gentlemen. I can’t even bring myself to dislike the antagonist, which could be good? The drama is only in its beginning episodes so I hope they don’t screw up the storyline or characters.

[argentum]

This scene is *AESTHETIC*
A simple skinship yet brings out a lot of feels.
Will totally give you butterflies 😍😍

[samruddhioak]

He’s so cute and his expressions are everything

[kisimorales]

I like Nam Joo-Hyuk's acting in this scene. He looks natural. Whenever an actor has to act like they don't care but they really do, I always watch them closely if their technique is cringy or not.
I watch this drama bc of Suzy but I am surprised how good NJH is asan actor.
His skills need more recognition.

[moradalamdar]

Thank you swoon for sporting Nam joo hyuk in this drama he deserve better sadly people are so bad for him while he is the main and his chemistry with suzy is way better than second lead hope you bring both NJH& suzy to play swoon games please

[nurrulnabilla]

this drama doesn’t even need excessive skinship, just put these two in one frame is already heart fluttering for me 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

[ellygaemi]

I am dying for this couple, I never felt this type of butterflies on my stomach for a long time except from yizhan TT

[nara-mpuj]

I know this wasn’t sound like majority, but I love nam dosan so much, frankly speaking he’s innocent & kind
I hope he quit play along with jipyeong and stood up on his own (he sure will be a decent businessman - can’t wait for the transformation)
Also happy for chulsan finally he’s landed & living on (south) korean drama 😂
