It's /the worst/. I imagine a lot of authors do it because it's easier than trying to build or show real chemistry between two total strangers, but god damn is it lazy story telling. I'm still enjoying the story personally but I would have liked it so much better if they really had met for the first time in the story's present. (':

Yeah I also still enjoy it. And yeah it is lazy Storytelling or this wird obsession with destiny I see in a lot Korean stories. And I am soooooo tired of it. It makes the world feel smaller as well and unnatural because what are the chances of people meeting as children (talking about other stories now) and then meeting again as “strangers” Years later? Not very high especially not in big cities like seoul or in this case in America and here it is even west coast and east coast -.-
Can we have a single story where they haven’t met somewhere before? Why can’t we just have a setting where two adults meet and start things off and not this stupid “we met as children” or “I saw him before” bs sorry this story is nice so far but I am SO fed up with that trope
