Matthew Green

This episode tells the tragic story of a baby put up for adoption. Everything was set until the couple learned that the baby had a congenital heart condition. This resulted in the poor child being handed about from family to family but never finding a true home. A picture amongst his keepsakes made him seek out the woman in Korea he believed to be his mother. He made several attempts to find her but she would not give her name or contact information; even after the desolate young man died in Korea. Geu-ru once again manages to literally piece things together and track down the newscaster in the photograph. Here he and Sang-Gu learn she was not the mom but familiar with his case because he stayed with her family til transit to US. She had always figured he lived a good life once adopted there, but learned that was not the case. She even learned that she had met him at a book signing, but he did not reveal his identity to her. He respected that she did not want to meet him but he still wanted to meet her. Sang-gu’s understanding of this was very special. We are now given insight why he refused to see his brother when in prison. It made both young men’s stories tragic because life would have been different had that one conversation taken place for both of them. They would both have received the loving family they were looking for. The one thing she could do was broadcast his case over the air in a newscast saying more needed to be done to help these children not claimed by any country. And the softness seen in Sang-Gu as he made breakfast for Geu-ru and Na-Mu; that was so long to happen but once it did, he has truly found his place in his family. He was surprised that Geu-ru knew he was adopted and realized he was lucky that his father loved him very much or his story would have been the same as Matthew’s. That was a poignant moment between him and Sang-Gu because Sang-Gu didn’t give his nephew enough credit in some respects and he underestimated his brother as well being truthful to his adopted son. But the lesson of love has finally sunk in if he can get past this last battle to get the deed and his contract back. Here again is where I completely loathe the lady manager. She is truly a piece of work in all the bad ways. This proves how well the cast acts since I am so invested in liking or despising them. I find these scenarios very believable and thought provoking. It makes us recognize the beauty and awfulness of death and how that impacts us in unexpected ways. That the final items in those heart boxes tell us their stories from beyond the grave and that it is worth our time to pay attention as noting a life well lived or cautionary tale of what to avoid. Either way it gives us the potential to be better people.

Todo en esta vida es un ciclo

No me gusta cuando los guionistas vuelven a las escenas iniciales, queriendo hacer alusión a que todo en esta vida es un ciclo, que el final es como un principio. No quiero que se muera el tio, al final empatizas y coges cariño al tio por tanto no quiero que en el capitulo final le pase como a su amigo que acabo por morir. Estoy sufriendo y todavía no me he visto el ultimo capitulo. Otro capitulo mas , otra llorada mas, este capitulo con lo de las adopciones ha sido muy fuerte.

Love the writing so much. Like as much as…

Love the writing so much. Like as much as the episode revolved around Matthew and Geuru trying to find the deceased's mother, it was also about Sanggu and Jeongu. And I like how Sanggu was the one that allowed us to try to understand what Matthew must've felt before his death.
