Dong Man did a couple things he shouldnât have this week but even through the embarrassment and pain, heâs himself. This week we say Eun A and Dong Manâs first disagreement because of the way Dong Man spoke to her about Ma Yeongâs script and I like the way it was resolved. Because yeah itâs not her fault and you canât blame her for loving wholeheartedly Dong Man whatever your intention is. So Iâm glad he immediately apologized and kept apologizing and I loved that Eun A said yeah what of it? I love her sm sheâs such a great character. Then him thanking her for forgiving him, very sweet.
Finding out that Dong Man was the runner up was like the cherry on top because that literally means he actually won. Why? Because Eun A did the heavy lifting with the best part of her exâs script. If that loser wouldâve submitted it on his own, he wouldâve never beat out Dong Man in my opinion.
Eun A taking the card to spend on grandma was wonderful and exactly what I wouldâve done. Iâm still upset about her mother. Like okay you had a bad childhood too and so you think you canât harm your child? Be serious. I love that Eun A wonât stop moving forward in her life, that she sticks up for herself. I canât wait until sheâs finally stepping into her own light.
DONGMAN FINALLY GETTING CLOSER TO DEBUTING AS A FILM DIRECTOR??? đđđ» After everything heâs suffered through, seeing him even approach his dream feels emotional. We survived 8 episodes of pain and yearning, and now weâre entering the Dongman road-to-debut era PLEASEEEEE . Iâm so happy for him already.
Given what Ko Hye-jin said after talking with CEO Choi, "I can tolerate a guy sleeping around, but not acting superior," and her pointing out Gyeong-se's odd behavior (accepting a co-writer and sleeping on the sofa) she at least has her suspicions.
I also found her meeting with CEO Choi interesting in that it was the first time Hye-jin seemed like she wasn't in control of the situation, especially with the facial expressions she was making.
There's no doubt that Jang Mi-ran brings life to every scene in which she appears, but her carefree personality can stir up trouble as well. The scene in Agit was filmed in such an intriguing way, with the camera panning from conversation to conversation in long takes. The camaraderie of the Eight Club (and guests) on the beach was a joy to watch, until a tired producer a.k.a "driver" Lee effectively called bullshit on the scenario, leading to Mi-ran's super awkward confession that she liked Dong-man, and the latter's equally awkward clarification that he liked Eun-a .
Another week where I like the new episode even more than the last one. I really can't stand Eunah's motherâshe's truly toxic. I sincerely hope they don't make up and that she puts her mother in her place. Our favorite couple's relationship is moving forward, and I couldn't be happier
The parallels of a parent who abandoned their child and wants them back for their gain and a parent who had their child taken from them and wants them back so desperately hurts and devastated so much.
I'm done, can't take anymore. Dropped after 4 episodes.
That's totally fine too. This drama isnât for everyone. It's a realistic healing drama with flawed, human characters, not the usual Kdrama where everything feels too perfect or superficial. At the end of the day, it all comes down to your personal genre preference. đ
I also loved Ko Hye Jin in previous episode. She's encouraging Dong Man to be better man in his own way. Making sure he has someone to protect him because his other "friends" don't.
And she calls out her husband for his shitty behavior make me like her more.
I also really wish Eun-a gets to know how Dong Man also fought for her. She, too, needs to know she's got a protector and "big brother".
What stood out to me the most in this Kdrama was the dynamic between the characters and how they protect each other, even in absence. The way Dong-man describes Eun-ah as âshiny,â while she calls him âbrilliant,â completely broke me its such a simple exchange, but it carries so much depth they see in each other what they canât see in themselves.
That last line especially hit me hard: âI didnât even hope for success. I just wanted to make a movie so that I could overcome this feeling of worthlessness, even if just a little bit.â
It felt deeply personal. It reminded me of how I used to push myself so much just to achieve a certain percentage just so people wouldnât judge me, and so I could feel worthy, even if only for a moment.
Now that we learned what happened to his daughter Yeong-sil, we learned he was tortured by his loss.
And now we learn that he wrote one of his greatest poems while tortured over his loss, and that fact is what continues to torture him.
That's so sad
Loved how he showed up, and everyone got scared. But all he did was pass out napa cabbage to everyone for making kimchi đ
