Reviews and Reactions

The amount of sweetness and romance in #SerendipitysEmbraceEp4 was so insane. Hoo Yeong, you are as sly as a fox. But I like your attitude to finally getting your first love!!

Hong Joo uses cartoons to block out painful moments as a kid or mask her sadness with the excuse of spicy Ramen. These moments highlight how she has never allowed herself the freedom to grieve or confront her true feelings thus arresting her personal growth #SerendipitysEmbrace

I'm glad he let her fight this battle and didn't get involved. A lot of time in scenes women are catering to the male emotions by calming them down because they want to be the center of every situation.

Love seeing flashbacks like this cause we get to understand more about each character. They're so cute.

FINALLY got to watch #SerendipitysEmbraceEp4 and it was SO CUTE?!?!!! Hu Young acting like the careless caring boyfriend and Hong Ju pretending not to like it? Oh please they were cute as teenagers but I love them as adults! So curious about the aftermath of #SerendipitysEmbrace.

I feel like screaming after finally watching episodes 3-4. Yun Jun's hairstyle in Serendipity finally changed like this plus glasses, unlike in the previous episode. I don't like his long and messy hairstyle.

His eyes can speak. His non-verbal answer sent shivers down my spine and made my heart flutter.

I'm ready to watch HooJu's arguments and cute quarrels for at least 100 episodes, why only 8, I don't want to say goodbye to them in 2 weeks

The way he approaches her slowly shows how he treats her like a precious treasure while making sure she's okay with it. I was smitten by him.

Everyone teaming up for Hong Joo and Hoo Yeong to end up together is one of the cutest things I've seen until now in this drama.
