I think selfish is going a bit far, I mean, finding out something like that is obviously going to be pretty damn…
You're right, I'd been calling her petulant for a while, this characterization is nothing new in the last 2 episodes. Yes, she puts herself above others, but should Eun Seop also have had that kind of healthy relationship with himself? Frankly, I thought he should've, yes.
I did like the f-you the aunt gave everyone in that town (this was the highlight of the ending for me), and if Hae Won had continued to be true to herself, she would've done the same thing. She came back for a week, and Eun Seop will continue receiving her in short bursts...? Is it okay that he's depressed and unable to sleep well in between? Of course, it's his choice, but that also makes him a pushover. But again, his choice.
It was so bad, Jang Woo redirected him away from the restaurant she was at with her mom and aunt. It wasn't just him suffering in silence, his friend recognized it and protected him from Hae Won.
I did find her impulsive nature very relatable in the buildup to and during their relationship, it was great to watch. When it turned into hurting someone that had done nothing wrong to her, I have a problem with that.
Honestly I was so happy to see her with Je hyuk, I find him really charming and I love that he sees how beautiful…
He's a great actor for sure, but he's playing a sex addict that I don't know he's really all that much for redeeming the FL as much as she cornered him into submission (very much like their sex scene itself, the choreography of their mating is a continuous power-play from her end, and it's ***FANTASTIC***)
Them moving to the ocean and have her healing time there, with him. She did nothing that one year she was away. Didn't forgive or get over her aunt's actions, didn't have some realization about how much she loved and missed Eun Seop, that only happened when she saw him through the window. It was the most pointless break and time skip I've seen in a while.
2020-04-17 > I was with Hae Won's character all the way, until the scene where Eun Sub wanted to sleep a little…
She's immature, perhaps because of not really having parental figures to guide her while growing up. Eun Seop is very patient with her, but I hope we see him call her out on it, but I doubt it.
It's interesting to see how both characters react so differently to (superficially) similar circumstances. Eun Seop matured prematurely, whereas she has remained a petulant teenager.
One note to add: Mr Sunshine is rooted in war and a very bloody historic time period. Expecting anything other than tragedy at the end is akin to covering the sun with your hand and calling nighttime.
I'm finding that this drama is best consumed with a nice glass of red wine, no distractions, and plenty of room to scream at the tv and do wine-fueled happy dances when the worst ones (your pick) get their comeuppance. This drama is life and I'm so glad I'm here for it.
The writer clearly didn't work hard enough. I love slow-paced dramas but this one is just filled with filler.
Of course there are those for whom this is a slow drama and don't like it because of that, but to say that people that are less than impressed with this drama is only so because it's slow, and thus they don't enjoy *any* slow story-telling (or aren't mature.. this one boggled my mind), that is a bit of a stretch and a cop-out. That's what I find unfair. I don't think it's slow, I think it's poorly written, not poorly paced. Personally, I hope it'll have a worthwhile resolution. I'm watching because I enjoy watching JHI, even if the projects he picks disappoint me. Call me a masochist, I keep hoping his next production will break the mold, and I'm still holding out hope for this one.

Agreed, I've fast-forwarded most scenes not involving the leads, and it doesn't feel I'm missing anything. I don't understand why people say those that have problems with this drama don't like slow-paced story-telling, that's an unfair and broad generalization. Their relationship is a study in co-dependent rebounding, the lack of explanations for how things work or what moves the plot forward (how did SW convince JS to let her record her voice?) - I'm finding the writing is distracting more than engaging, so far.
Agreed, and I'd hope this would be explained in ep7, since this is a brand new development we've not heard much…
Exactly. He likely became lazy and entitled, and the mad scramble for funding we've seen since ep1 is probably only because, through his mismanagement, his company was about to go bankrupt.
The biggest plothole so far is how Tae Oh made it to success (in 2 years less). Guy's so dumb, even in all those…
Agreed, and I'd hope this would be explained in ep7, since this is a brand new development we've not heard much about yet. I'm thinking that the chairman watching his daughter walk away with the threat of never seeing him again made him re-think the investment, and while money doesn't make Tae Oh talented, it may have given him access to other resources to secure that success. He never had the motivation to really try while his wife bankrolled him, and anyway he was embezzling much of the funds. Unsure how proceeding with the investment lines up with the agreement the chairman made with Sun Woo to drop the lawsuit against his daughter. The only thing we really heard about this was that he had to cut off access to funds to the daughter.
I liked the concept, but the execution was terrible. How did Ma Ri know about the body switch mechanics and the impact on their memories? How was she able to convince both leads so quickly? Why did KKJ never change the damn combination to his front door???? How could Ma Ri keep in touch with the Seo family after they switched back? When KKJ drove her to the lake when she was going to the family dinner, why the heck did he leave her there??? How could Ma Ri just show up with those goons and take KKJ out of the hospital? Guardians mattered except for that? The bait and switch with the other doctor was annoying - why did SYJ remove the picture with his fiance from his office at the beginning? Ma Ri was for me one of the most aggravating and useless characters I've seen in dramas. Honestly she was there just to extend the drama to 16 episodes, she added nothing to the plot nor influenced the outcome of the story. Overall, the unintentional comedy was frequent, if not exasperating, and I ended up fast forwarding all scenes without Gong Yoo or LMJ after a while. The excessive crying was laughable after a while, too, though there were a few emotional scenes that got to me (GY is one of my favorite cryers, it was just a bit too frequent for my taste.) The subplots were boring and added nothing to the main plot. Surpringly, I enjoyed the ending, but I'm a sucker for open endings.
I'm confused. It does seem like the son has known for a while, but when did he find out? Was it at his dad's birthday…
I watched the scene in ep2 again where he's at the party and sneaking around, watching the husband talking with the secretary. Wonder if he's the secretary's ex husband and he was there for her and just got lucky with the camera?
