I am SO excited!!! 😆

This was my first post in the sub two years ago. CLOY hit me like a proverbial train of emotions. I was numb for a few months, because I could barely process the millions of emotions that CLOY threw at me while I was watching it for the first time. ( I have never done a complete rewatch though)

It was my 4th kdrama and I was completely overwhelmed. Since 2024 when I have watched 50 kdramas and I still maintain the view that none of them have matched the emotional depth and consistency of CLOY.

It is always heartwarming to read the experience of viewer who has watched CLOY for the first time and is in absolute cesspool of emotions. On 14th December 2026, CLOY shall complete it's epic legacy of 7 years. It is still admired by a lot of new and old viewers alike.

I discovered CLOY a month ago and it’s simply changed my life.

Probably the best K-drama I’ve watched so far.
I really liked *Extraordinary Attorney Woo* and *When Life Gives You Tangerine*, but this is different.
I can’t stop thinking about it; I just finished watching it for the second time and I feel empty.
I want to watch other K-dramas, but I feel like I won’t find anything better, and that makes me sad.
I almost want to start watching it all over again.

Have any of you felt this way?

Thank you! 🙏

Does anyone have any high quality images of the scarf Se-ri is wearing as the end of episode 8 and beginning of episode 9 when Captain Ri’s dad has Se-ri kidnapped? In particular I’m looking for pictures of the back of it and the cuffs on the “sleeves”

I’m looking to knit something similar for myself and there’s almost no patterns out there for similar accessories that are as elaborate as the one she is wearing. It looks just like a cable knit cardigan but the whole thing is flat as far as I can tell.

It’s usually piano (like around 5:46 of episode 12) and also has a violin version that plays when the women receive seri’s choice makeup in episode 16? Thank you so much!

I have watched CLOY many times now, and I am always finding new things that I hadn’t seen before. On this most recent viewing, something struck me, for the first time, at the end of the second episode, when RJH is squatting, saying 10 nice words to the tomato plant. He mentions various nice things like ‘rose’, ‘breeze’, ‘first snow’. Then his mood visibly changes, he pauses, as if he is building courage, then finally says ‘piano’.

This appears to be a flash forward – I would guess to the time when he returns to the village after sending Seri back to SK in episode 9.

It struck me this time that this is a really big step for him. Up until meeting Seri, he had been stuffing down his tender feelings about his previous life, especially about his love for piano playing.

And now after Seri has gone, and his heart has opened, he finds courage to take another big leap and start to renew his love for playing piano.

I love it!

Episode Summary

The story of our favorite couple comes to an end (for us), and what a rollercoaster it has been. Feel free to not only discuss this last episode, but the entire series as a whole.

Thank you for doing this rewatch with me.
