Serendipity Embrace Reviews and Reactions

Hong Joo kissed Hoo Young. Also, as I'm happy their romance is blooming, I feel bad for Joon Ho. Though, it's his fault. Whatever, I'm super excited for the new couple.

Realizing she keeps pushing him away as if reminding herself not to get attached because whenever she gets attached to someone, they abandon her. Her adoptive parents were her first love, and then when Hoo Young became her friend, he left abruptly.

Her initiating the kiss had me on the floor because it confirmed she had feelings for him. She is allowing herself to be in love again while still healing her inner child and letting go of her painful past.

Are you telling me a workaholic man whose world started and ended with numbers, skipped work, and didn't even care to inform anyone because he was busy smiling, gushing, and blushing over his confession?

It is the first drama where I liked most of its characters, like Samcheon, sangpil, and Hye Ji. I love you all!
