Side rant- Also I think it’s a relief he did that, imagine a family as strict as that only said yes to marriage cause you are 2 months pregnant and learns after the wedding it is a lie not only that you can not even carry a child it would have been a nightmare to live in that house. Also, the way the entire clan was tracking the heirs from generations, who to say they won’t force for divorce or second marriage? (I know here it would have been a bit light as the series is a bit of comedy but that is such a scary situation to be in)
Such a beautiful series till the end. It heals something in me. It’s a story that, even after having a plothole (as per a few comments), I will still watch and recommend to others. It's a very peacefully chaotic drama without a single boring episode. Found family is such a loved subject of mine to watch, so yes, I’ll love it without a hiccup, and I'm so happy with the way it ends. That ending episode is, without a doubt, my favorite; it’s cheerful and life-loving even when it slipping from your hand, so marvelously done. I love how the actor performed their characters and the expression conveys so much. Also, I get that taking away a girl from her wedding part was a red flag, but as the story progresses, we can see how these two never got over each other, not only that they have a very bestie with the same one-brain cell vibe.
Really loved this drama. Very binge-worthy, just the right amount of suspense and, in my opinion at least, not…
Oh I guess kkari gave the explanation about the gangster boss reaching to island to the second mother hoping he would get prize. He set him up to that and then send the video to police and posted on media
I don't know about the staff dying portion but I did read that it was most watched during it airing time on both…
OMG! Hi, I'm still watching it. So I can't say I actually recommend this one but if you want to laugh a lot and love acting that is on point then, yes. I can't stop laughing watching this
I agree with you. This bothered me too.But the mother in the car with the little girl was his fathers second wife.…
I'm on 4 episode the the woman is different actress with a little girl it's far more clear to me that he remarried and had a kid. The mother is a different actress. Not only that the father recognised him instantly and the mother didn't so it's more clear that's that the second wife. I haven't had idea the real mom died. Which I learnt through these comments
i'm surprised that this got so high rating here... in korea it tanked and was barely memorable. so-so average…
I don't know about the staff dying portion but I did read that it was most watched during it airing time on both cable and broadcasting channel in it's time slot not only that it broke the record of highest rating for it's pilot episode
I wonder if you watch Go Ahead what'd you think of LingXiao since their relationship dynamics are so different…
Oh god, I couldn't agree more! Especially with Sanha's mom being worse than Ling Xiao, and still Sanha is shown a well-adjusted guy. Also, it does feel like a typical teen romance drama as the story is proceeding. Plus, the fact that the alpha male concept of Sanha pushed Juwon and Haejun as a second character. Not only that, the reason for them choosing to go with their respective family became somewhat of their choice. In Haejun's case, I can still give him a pass as he saw how his dad is working hard to put him through better school, and his biological dad began to threaten, but with Sanha, his uncle said he couldn't, and he just decided to step up to the responsibility. With Ling Xiao, the entire family forced him to stay, which actually added much depth to his existing trauma. In this context, the story does lack a better understanding of the depth each character has in Go Ahead, and this time, you can't blame the number of episodes. Not only does Juwon as a character and her backstory feel like complete ignore, but then they still have 6 more episodes, so let's see how it goes. I am a bit worried as it is like the writer is trying to make Sanha the only lead in this whole scenario.
As far as the kdrama is going it seems like the three siblings are the main characters while two dads are second and people like Park Dal and the reoccurring characters from school as side and guest roles. I can understand why Ju Won can feel like a second character as her growth is very minimal here compared to stories going on with Sanha and HaeJun
Now to talk about OG which is a Chinese drama and an important element that cdrama has is having multiple main leads (even when they are doing a proper romance genre) so that’s why OG has 5 main characters which include the three siblings and two dads with second characters including Mingyue (park Dal) her mother, as well as, Tang Can and her mother (another school friend; which is missing here) with side and guest characters. And a story, as well as, a proper arc was given to all main and second characters with enough screen time
I wonder if you watch Go Ahead what'd you think of LingXiao since their relationship dynamics are so different…
If you want to point out the confession part of Ling Xiao that is equally uncalled for as Sanha’s was. But apart from that Ling Xiao’s character never belittled anyone especially the siblings which included Ziqiu. He was very much upright but a pushover character. He couldn’t stand up against his mom or the mom's side of the family who forced him to take care of the mom under the name of filial responsibility. Even when he was back he still couldn’t stand against the mother for a long time. Not only that his character is shown to have much more maturity (which was present in Sanha) without the attitude of I can handle everything, only I can calm her down complex. Also, he never blurted out Ziqiu's secret while hiding his and then blaming him. His words were not hurtful toward Ziqiu. And at last, even if his confession and the kiss were unhinged, he didn’t confess right after coming back or just cause she was dating someone. Also don't see me as someone who loves Ling Xiao, he was my least favorite of all the main 5 characters but just pointing out how writers are making annoying decisions with Sanha’s character.
I know a lot of us haven't watched the OG and the few of us who watched still seems to get the love triangle part so wrong. In my view I think the love triangle is inevitable and will happen here as well.
But the some of us who understand that portion in OG know how important of that scene was. It showed how Ziqiu(Haejun) still struggles to find the sense of belonging. He still is the one who feel lonely. To him Ling Xiao(SanHa) had his dad, JianJian(Ju won) has her dad, they both had a family member who wants them; but both his parents left him. They didn't wanted him in their life. His proposal was out of blue cause it didn't arise from a place of romantic feeling it arises from the place of desperation. His love for Ju won's dad and ju won was so strong and desperation to be registered legally in the family register made him okay to get married out of responsibility. This portion made even more sense when you see his overall persona he was never involved in romantic relationship as he thought no one is going to stay. He will be abandoned sooner or later. So to think about how his psychic worked towards that proposal made it an important event. Not only that but Juwon also understood where he was coming from and talked to him why she can't accept this and how no matter what he will always be family. His character has more depth in OG and they are kind butchering his character arc as the story is proceeding and making him into a second character.
Also, on funny note they do look like besties with same brain cell
