I always thought she was the mom of their friend who passed away???

In my opinion, I think they did show it though but they were pushing and pulling at that point. I totally get what you're saying. But in the part of the confrontation where they were trying to make the other stay but the other one had to give up something. Like with Yijin, he wanted her to stay but she would have to be okay with him dealing with his depression alone. Na hee do, on the other hand, didn't want him to go off to the US and be sad alone. Plus she has some resentment towards her mother for leaving her alone while she worked, which is what Yijin was doing to her. They both wanted each other's understanding but they clashed instead. I really wanted them to end up together :( I guess, we all have our opinions of how their relationship. I do agree though that they could've found a way ;(

This is just my take on what happened. i think it's mostly because Yijin acquired the trauma of those affected by the accident. He wasn't in the healthiest of mindsets while Na Hee Do was expecting him to remember his promise about not keeping his sadness to himself. As Yijin said, her support almost felt burdensome because he believed what he went through would be too much for him to share with her, so he was escaping from her. He took the job, was very passive, and Hee Do already felt that he was intentionally running away, so I think that caused her a lot of stress esp since she can't directly go to him and ask.

I think the reason yurim lost was because she wasn’t properly concentrating as stated by the coach while Hee Do actually took the match seriously. I think the reason why hee do wasnt “doing well” was because she had no proper support and exposure. She wasn’t bad, she just didn’t have a proper place to showcase herself. In her old school, she was clearly being held back by an indifferent coach. The team probably didn’t get assertive training and encouragements to join competitions. I think her skills as a prodigy never dwindled, she just didn’t have proper ground to stand on as a fencer before transferring schools. It was her career, not her skills, as a fencer that was being held back.

For MPUB, I think it’s the characters and their relationships that stood out and the easy-to-understand world-building while I think HDL writers added so much elements and mostly focused on Man Wol. Though HDL looks more dramatic, fantastical and was overall a bigger project, i think MPUB worked so well in its simpler state. In its simplicity, they managed to build a vast world within the afterlife like the dream world, afterlife lottery etc etc while the story remained grounded and realistic with the characters‘ worries, growth and relationships. that’s my opinion though, I like HDL but I love MPUG more. In the end, we have our own preferences and opinions.

Honestly this drama should be finished in one sitting. I tried watching back in 2017 and I couldnt get through it but since they recently added this in netflix, I decided to give it a go. It’s slow and there are questionable parts but it was enjoyable and kinda light even though it was meant to sound epic from the synopsis. It’s not remarkable or anything special but I enjoyed it and I dont think its a waste of time.

it’s based on a webtoon made before HDL though so I think HDL is the one that seems similar to it

Park Mo Geon’s character development is slooow. At least now, they’re finally getting into it. Hopefully, it works

The actors are phenomenal. The story ... was meh. Everything else was great overall.

Veronica Park is super fun . I absolutely love her overreactions but I’m kinda disappointed that she’s “playing along” with Galhee . I don’t 100% blame her though. 90% of the blame goes to Galhee because there were so many chances for her to end it and/or tell the truth.

Shin se kyung is a good actress. I mean shes not the best and she does have a few questionable choices but people really hate on her for no reason. It’s so sad. Anyways, I like her and, as much as I like Astro, Eun Woo’s acting was very safe in his last drama so he didn’t really impress me. I hope they do well together.

shin hye sun and lee je hoo!!
