Am I the only one who thinks that when Young-rye speaks in voice-over, it’s actually her future self reflecting on her past?
The tone and vocabulary sound nothing like her 1982 (or even 1990) self — she speaks with confidence, maturity, and that quiet curiosity that only hindsight brings. It feels as if she’s looking back and asking, “What would my life have been if I’d made different choices?”
To me, the way she expresses herself suggests that Jong-hui isn’t around anymore when these reflections take place. The story focuses on Young-rye’s memories; the time jump only shows us the moment Jong-hui re-enters her life — not the seven years in between when Jae-pil was still there.
I’m curious if anyone else sees the voice-overs this way or if you think they’re meant to be her thoughts in the moment rather than from the future.
Continuation from my previous analysisAfter Episode 9, I realized something subtle.It’s not the “third run”…
First time I agree with you 😁 this is about her and her growth. Not her defined by someone else or her feelings for that person. It does matter who she ends up with. It's about to be true to yourself and sometimes put yourself first
The only happy ending here is none of the girls end up with Jae Pil. I'm not saying he's the problem but he’s…
Ready to bet that's how it will end. This is about growth, becoming your best self. Logically neither should end together. I'm even betting on neither of them in a relationship, just maybe hints.
Currently filming looks like it'll go through at least Februaryhttps://www.filmmakers.co.kr/proCrewRecruiting/26647798
Isn't that extremely long for a 12 episode drama? Last week in Busan KJH said they had an all nighter on Thursday to Friday, and he was back on set on Sunday. I suppose airing won't be before March then. Was the shooting supposed to be between August and December originally?
Food for thoughts. In the Japanese version of the story, there were mostly one male lead and one female... A secondary male lead as the cop, that might here have been pushed to a supporting role... We get a character that didn't exist at all with KJH... And 6 months shooting... Looks like heavy rewriting from the original source material
It's weird they cast a second male lead over 4 months after the first, for a role that actually doesn't exist in the source material. And KJH toned up quite a lot this summer as we saw yesterday in Busan
They added Kim Jung-hyun since, who is also said being main lead, so we actually don't know. There have been obvious storyline changes, because that character didn't exist previously 🤷🏼♀️
I wonder how much the story will be changed if they added a mysterious chaebol to the mix... That's at least what heard about KJH part... I was expecting him to be the cop like in the Japanese series...
You are the unforgiving one based on your first comment. That's why I wrote this. I love how you gaslight me, funny in fact. Return my words and suddenly you're the victim. I said don't make fun of abuse, show compassion. We all need it in this world. I don't have an alt, that's literally my real name.
