THIS IS SUCH A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER TBH, BECAUSE IT DEPENDS SO MUCH ON THE PERSON ASKING. Like, I want everyone to watch Coffee House and squee with me forever about my favorites and OTP, but I'm afraid that going into it announced and unwarned may ruin the experience and make a person dislike it. Except that half of the gloriousness comes from what may ruin it for some. THE WHOLE THING IS A MESS TO DELINEATE. JUST WATCH, BASICALLY.

LMAO, yes, read the comment threads, they may be items of your interest as Alex and I have basically being Heirs-ing it out although the tl;dr is KIM WOO BIN HAS A FACE (and occasionally wet hair).

OMG, HAI, I HAVE SO MISSED YOU BECAUSE ALL I WANT TO DO IS TALK KDRAMAS. AND GIVE ME ALL THE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS. Although tbh, I don't think there is such a thing as an 'unpopular opinion' in this standom, because I have yet to meet two people who think the same thing about anything in it, heh.

THESE CLASHING TIMEZONES ARE TOTALLY THE WORST OKAY, HOW IS THIS EVEN A THING. WHY CAN'T WE ALL LIVE TOGETHER IN RAINBOWS AND SUNSHINE.

yesss, watch!! although when you start watching, you must come to me after six episodes or so and tell me what you think so I can tell you whether it'll be in your best interest to read this before going further, or not. COFFEE HOUSE MAKES ME CRYPTIC.

HAHAHAHA@yours and Alex's mode of communication!! I'm wondering if I should be jealous because you guys are communicating in my periods of non-communication, haha. BUT \O/ AT YOU BEING ALL CAUGHT UP WITH FANDOM IN MIDDLE OF CLASS.

Dude, trust me, that is not an unpopular opinion, larger fandom in general loooooves Tan. AND IF YOU READ THE COMMENTS ABOVE, I NEVER SAID TAN IS A BORING DOUCHE, I THINK HE'S UTTERLY FASCINATING. I think Tan/ES is boring. Or rather, I think he has the potential to be fascinating, except that I (and I think Alex) don't really think the narrative portrayal is self-aware at all. By now I'm pretty convinced it isn't, which is ( ... )
