There was so much stacked against YFFM from the start. It took on a tour de force like LMH. Then PTB came along and took over CH’s spot. The trailers for YFFM weren’t much help- it didn’t exactly leave us hungry for more. Most of us came into this with little or no expectation. Then we got the breadcrumbs –all those quiet moments where we felt more for the characters than when they talked. The silent exchange of looks and growing curiosity for the other person that triggered nostalgia since most of us know what it feels like to go through first love. What will I miss the most? How S was so haughty, but still loveable, the way he sang his father’s song in that second episode, the unexpected witty banter, the coffee errands, when they mimicked each other and held out their hands to catch the rain, the speculation and dread around love lines that thankfully never came into fruition between SH and K and between K and S’s parents, and the music that got me replaying each song on repeat for days on end. No one I know watches this drama. My friends keep asking me why I like it so much. They can’t fathom why YFFM would garner any attention at all. How do you explain perfection enveloped in music? This drama felt like a respite from the inundation of the May drama insanity – a breather that said relax and enjoy – no need to think too hard – just sit back and listen to the melody that soothes your spirit. With everything it lacked in action and suspense, it made up for with its simplicity and charm. For such an inconspicuous little drama, it leaves a giant gaping hole.

This was my runner up screencap cuz I love benches located in secluded spots. Will post final thoughts here after the finale 
There were over 500 ppl on soompi for YFFM tonight and over 253 pages. Only well liked dramas get those kind of numbers. For PTB -only 200 ppl and 53 pages. Who cares about ratings – this drama is still gold.

You’ve fallen for me E15
After S falls on his knees in pain, SH and Y ask if he is ok – if he is hurt. S lies and says his tummy hurts cuz of what he at for dinner that didnt suit him. K tells him to stand to go to the hospital. he says he is better now – how can he leave in the middle of performing. K points out he almost fainted. S insists he is ok. SH asks if he can continue and S says yes. they start over and he sings that song from the first episode “stupid”. SH says S seems ok now – must be a release of nervous tension from all that time. I did that too often a long time ago after a show
after his performance, S runs cold water over his hands. Y comments that S is late. SH says he will be here. K remembers how she fell on him and S landed on his wrist. she gets up and says she thinks it’s cuz of that. she tells SH and Y how she tripped on her hanbok and S caught her. he sprained his hand and put hot packs/patches on his hand but it must still hurt a lot. SH asked if something like that happened. S:you waited long didnt you. K: it’s cuz you hurt your hand last time isnt it? you were late tonight cuz you were enduring it till that didnt hurt. S lies he met a friend outside the bathroon so that is why he took so long. Y asks if it’s really ok.S: I’m ok. K asks for his hand to look at it so S holds it up: look – there is nothing swollen and it’s fine. he jokes that if she wants to hold his hand she just has to say so. SH asks if S’s tummy feels better. S says yes and asks if they are going to stay longer. SH says no let’s leave together
Y walks home and worries. she says how she was surprised a while ago – S is probably ok right? SH: he looked fine. dont worry. Y says it’s cuz S plays guitar.he cant hurt his hand. SH asks if she is thinking of her past and saying this (cuz of her accident). Y: it’s a lie if I say it isnt. cuz of that accident my life changed. SH: cuz of that you came back to school and met me.let’s think positive- S will get better
S is at home and he keeps looking at his wrist.
K meets with that music president. he wants her to go to england and watch some musicals, take vocal training, learn jazz dance and ballet. she asks how long that would take. he says 6 months. K: what about my school? he says she has to take a break- you said you were a gugak major right? K: yes. he says if she plans to continue doing this then she doesnt need to keep attending school (for gugak). he suggests she stop since she will become more busy but she says she wants to graduate. later she wants to make something with gugak if she can. he says she has to take a break from school though for at least a year. she asks when she has to leave. he says next month. K:that soon?
S meets with the doc and hears about his hand.the doc says the wrist received the impact of the shock and if it gets down more it will be worse. S asks if he can just put compresses to treat it but the doc says S has to have surgery. S asks if he can play guitar after surgery
S walks out and remembers the doc saying how in some cases patients couldnt regain full use and it’s important how the patient takes care of it. S sits on the stairs and looks sad
K tells her GP how she has to take a break from school and has to leave next month for england. from here on I will be busy so there will be more days I will be late. GP – I am going abroad for 6 months. she asks if he isnt sad. J comes in and he is happy to see her and invites her to sit. he tells K he doesnt care where she goes – america or england- so leave. he tells K to bring fruit for J. J says it must be nice for K to go abroad. but he tells her there is no reason to be envious. he brags how he was invited to perform at 27 countries. J:really? GP: just do well in gugak -you can eat breakfast in france and lunch in germnay and dinner in Switzerland. K overhears and comments about how her GP brags. K calls S to come out for a short time cuz she has something to say
K shows him her passport pic and asks if he has a passport. S: of course. I went on a trip to europe when I was in first grade. she says she didnt smile in it and asks if it looks strange. S: I will go home and look at it slowly so give it to me. he makes a remark cuz she was smiling but suddenly looked sad. she says she is excited, nervous, and happy (to go) but when she thinks of S she is upset, regretful, and depressed. S: in a world where we can see our faces and talk on the internet -what’s so sad? I think you like me too much. K: arent you upset about living apart from me? S: not really. she says he is too much. he holds her hand. she tells him to keep her pic safe
K’s dad asks if S isnt trying to hold onto her so she wont go. she says how S isnt at all and how she felt hurt cuz it seems like S wants to send her off quickly. her dad says S is doing that on purpose not to show how sad he is. her dad says they seem to be destined to live apart cuz he came up to live with her but she is going abroad
SH and Y meet with the chairman. chairman asks when they leave. Y: tm morning on a 9 am flight. he asks how long they will be there. SH says the show is for 6 months but they have to go and prepare and settle affairs after so it will take about a year. if we like it there we might stay there. chairman jokes and tells SH he can stay there in america but Y has to come back (cuz she teaches here). he tells them to be careful and have a good trip
HJ and JH meet. JH says cold things are better for when her throat hurts. since he doesnt need to go to catharsis he can see more of HJ. S wants to rest for the time being. he says since K is leaving S must not think it’s fun to play anymore. dont be upset- when you are well - you will do better than K. drink a lot of cold things and hurry and get better
K’s friends say how envious they are of K living in england and how she gets to ride the double decker buses, see london bridge. K says how she will be too busy to do those things cuz she saw her schedule and it’s packed with vocal training and dance. one says at least she gets to watch musicals. K worries she might not understand since it’s in english. plus i have to learn english. I will be busy so it will be hard to meet up with you guys. B says even if K doesnt have time to meet them K will have time to meet S. another girl asks if S didnt quit catharsis so that he can play with K as much as he wants before K leaves for england. K asks what that mean. the girl says – you dont know? stupid wont perform anymore. B think S wants to surprise her with that news and didnt tell her
the doc asks if S has decided to have the surgery. S nods yes. he asks if next mon is ok. S asks for a month delay. doc asks if there is a reason cuz until then S is going to have problems with his hand – it will go numb and stuff. S asks if he cant take medicine in the meantime. doc advises having surgery sooner is better for a more effective recovery. S says that’s ok – it has to be a month later. (* so this is why he didnt get better right after surgery – cuz he put it off for a month- now I want to kick his fictional character’s cute butt)
Y looks around campus cuz she wont get to see it for a year. SH asks her to look around as much as she wants cuz after she is gone she will miss it. he tells her to go home first cuz she has to meet someone. she asks who else he needs to say bye to so SH says he doesnt have a woman he is hiding that she doesnt know about so dont worry.
SH meets with S. S asks why SH called since he should be busy preparing to leave. SH says he is really busy but before he goes, he wants to confirm something cuz it bugs him. S: what is that? SH grabs S’s wrist really hard. S winces from pain. SH: when you are always bad you dont change. how did this happen? tell me. S tells what the doc said about the damage to the wrist. how he needs surgery. SH asks:did he (the doc) say if you could play guitar. S says it will be hard at first and how there are some ppl who dont regain full use later. SH asks when S is going to have surgery. S says a month later. SH: why are you having it so late? is that when K leaves? S: she cant know -if she does – she will for sure says she wont leave. S asks SH to keep it a secret. SH agrees and tells him not to worry too much. most doctors give some fear normally by telling you the worst cases. it will turn out well. S says he has to go cuz he told K he would meet her. he tells SH to have a good trip with the professor (Y).
K shows her flight ticket to S. he says now that he saw it seems real. he drops a tray cuz of his wrist. he said it slipped cuz of water. she asks if it’s cuz of her he hurt his hand and quit catharsis. he says he didnt and just wanted to rest cuz it’s a school break
K goes home and thinks over all the clues that S is hurt.
K tells the music president she cant go after getting the ticket and having everything ready. she promises to pay him back for the cost. he asks why. she says she has to stay with someone. he asks if she isnt going to regret. she says she wont
K tells S that she isnt going to england. I just just met the music president and told him I wouldnt do it. he asks why she did that. K: cuz you are injured and it’s cuz of me -how could I leave- did you go to the hospital? what did they say? S says my hand is all better. also let’s stop now. K: what did you just say? S: I said let’s break up. K:why are you doing this suddenly. S: they say when you cant see someone your feelings become more distant-to be honest - I dont have the confidence to wait for you. K: do you really mean that. he says he does and gives back her bear. he leaves it on the bench. S: i’m sorry. he gets up to leave so she holds onto him but he makes her let go and walks off. He tries not to look back
K holds both bears and cries. S looks at K’s passport photo and cries
K’s dad and the music president are there with K. her dad says sorry to the guy for not going with them to the airport and letting the guy do it. he says it’s ok and dont worry. K says she will call her dad when she gets there. dont fight with GP. dont eat ramen cuz it’s a bother and make sure to cook. he tells her to eat well cuz it might be hard on her cuz it’s another culture’s food and to take care of herself. she says dont worry cuz she does well wherever she is. he says he will call.
the guy says when she arrives at the airport someone will meet her at the airport so she doesnt need to worry

SH: S told me not to tell but I think I have to. if I leave you two alone – I think you will both die of lovesickness. S got hand surgery. K:what?

K: why didnt you tell me – why did you hide it from me? i heard all about it from the director. you should have told me that you were injured. I didnt know that and tried so hard to hate you – do you know how much tried? forget it – now I will hate you for real.
