The main grandmother has cancer. HyeonO, Ji-On and the sister want to take Grandma to hospital. She doesn't want to, instead she wants HyeonO to get married.
05:00 - A girl called ‘Cho Rong’ has offered to marry HyeonO. I don't remember her. The dialogue does a bit of exposition to tell us who she is. She's been working for the grandmas for 7 years. Her older sister used to look after the grandmas. LOL, that's expo by the ladleful! The main point: she's ready to take care of the grandmas. She just wants to be part of the family. Arranged marriage. He's not giving his answer now, but...
09:30 - Media hall, day. Probably the Ep7 cliffhanger. He seems to have said ‘yes’, given the reaction of a colleague. So EunHo hears the news. Endless eye contact. Poor EunHo, it's completely incomprehensible to her. - He doesn't want to marry her for 8 years. - Suddenly he's marrying a stranger a few days after she rejects him.
11:20 - EunHo walks out into the hall. Can't believe it. This won't help her mental disorder. Ayaaa.
12:00 - Midday news. Her mind is absent. The sound of the other presenters fades to give the idea of her mental isolation. AND... it's malpractice!!!
13:39 - Scolding in the boss's office (Chin Guk) She doesn't care, she's totally disconnected from reality.
14:34 - At her desk. She remains absent-minded. 14:55 - A subjective shot of the director. Her back, with a blur around it and a strange sound. It reminds me of Frodo when he puts the ring on his finger in The Lord of the Rings. lol Shin's advice: try to humiliate yourself as much as possible. Ahahaha... anything to crush her. 15:50, she types an apology letter. I'm curious about the content...
16:05 - Media people are watching the show. She's become famous for her mistake. She walks through the room like a zombie. ‘It's impossible’. Comedy effect. She recites her letter of apology in voice-over. Which makes a good segue into...
16:55 - In front of the media, daytime. Rainy but sunny. She asks HyeonO for an explanation. He's ready to explain but she's too angry. Good scene. Acting feast. AGAIN!! She leaves without him being able to speak. AAgghhrargharhg. The writer breaks our nerves. Voice-over apology continues. ‘It's just me he didn't want to marry’.
20:10 - Flashback with colleague. Wondering why he broke up with her. ‘Dear viewers, this is how I became a fool’.
21:10 - Title: Dear viewers. ‘I hate myself’
21:25 - Car park, Day. Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri absent. He remembers, coffee scene.
22:26 - At his desk. He too is absent-minded. He invites HyeHyeon to eat some Udon. She can't believe it.
25:07 - Restaurant, night. Ju-Yeon+HyeHyeon, eating udon. He regains his confidence and thinks that Hyeri will come back. He is ready to be nice to EunHo. So she let Hyeri be. He states "I've only one heart to give" (to only one)
27:35 - EunHo in the metro. Day. Flashback EUnHo+HyeonO, day. Back to the metro. Flashback next, night. He has lost his pendant and is looking for it in a courtyard. He cries because he can't find it. Surprising. Back to the metro. Flashback continues. 33:50, back on the metro. Close-up on EunHo's absent eyes. Another flashback, at home. 35:20, back on the metro. Will she miss her station? Her smartphone rings, she doesn't notice.
35:40 - Office, day. EunHo types another apology letter. Because she was late. LOL, she did miss her station.
36:42 - Scolding in the boss's office. Ayaaa. The episode does everything it can to destroy her. He wants her to resign from everything. Plus, heavily insults her ‘you're ugly’. ‘Why did HyeonO quit 9pm for a loser like you?’
37:35 - In front of EunHo's residence, night. HyeonO is waiting in his car. He opens the compartment with the pendant. Would be willing to take it out? And take a step towards EunHo? He closes it again. No more details as the next scene takes place in the grandmother's house.
38:40 - He tells the grandmother that he doesn't want to get married. But she says not to worry, that she sees him as a member of the family now, rather than a guy with the chore of looking after her. Could this change his mind about EunHo? It's a pity she didn't tell him sooner.
40:45 - Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri still absent. HyeHyeon shamelessly admits that she sleeps with one of her colleagues from time to time (the guy at the hotel). Hardly believable to do that in workplace, and bad point for her, as she put a co-worker in embarassement. This point leads so she can say "we can have a place in heart for someone else". That's also quite crap, as it's mostly sex-affairs she's talking about BUT: The point is used for Ju-Yeon. So the meaning I give to it is: maybe he could consider to meet EunHo too, not just Hyeri.
42:28 - HyeonO+EunHo on TV set. Then she is fired from all the shows.
45:00 - Relaxation room. Eun-Ho+Ji-On.
47:50 - Eun-Ho at home. Reads Hyeri's letters. And the letters she sends to Hyeri. Then she writes ‘I hate myself’. Then writes something else, we don't see.
51:30 - Car park, daytime. Ju-Yeon arrives. Hyeri is not there.
53:30 - Break-up staircase, night. HyeonO remembers the break-up. 54:41, shot of the director, using a similar technique to the shot of the sun in the forest. Here, a street lamp splits its light into two rainbows. HyeonO is halfway up the stairs.
54:50 - He goes to EunHo's house. A shot of Hyeri's bike. ... which disappears in a blur.
56:05 - At EunHo's work. A parcel for her, but she's away...
57:26 - Hyeri/Eunho's diary on the desk. The wind is turning the pages backwards. Actually no, it's turning the pages forwards. The last thing she wrote: Actually it's from Hyeri. But it might be the end of the previous scene, after writing ‘I hate myself’. Hyeri writes: ‘you've failed to be happy, I'm taking over’.
The episode is rather disappointing. Angst, people thinking while looking sadly in the void, not a lot happens. The destruction of EunHo's morale is well handled, but there's a lot of slowness around it. Ju-Yeon doesn't put into practice what he says, meeting EunHo. HyeonO had the opportunity to finish his explanation in another scene, but it doesn't happen. This keeps us waiting for the cliffhanger. Presaging Hyeri return. Just a thing, I know it's a bit down to earth, but: If EunHo is fired from her job, I don't see how her and Hyeri will continue.
I might be the one you saw talking about red and yellow. That's why I also write my insights in the reddit discussions,…
Yes, it was you, sorry to forgot your name, when you often post remarquable comments. The korean commenter makes sens too. I could see the yellow door as last shot of café scene. Right on point for Ju-Hyeon seeing her as Hiery.
both the male lead & second male lead tell her to be sick again?!! Ju yeon is just dependent on hyeri, it is not…
Eun Ho too is at fault. She knew Hyeri was seeing Ju Yeon. She made search on internet about him. First time she met him, she ran away! (what ends in the bathroom crisis). Maybe she was thinking anything of that would be solved by magic? 😆🤭
ML said her "get sick" so he can take care of her.SML says her now (in subtext): "keep being sick" so I can see…
In fact, I understood later a reason he has: He thinks EunHo is in a relationship with another man. So, for him, he can only see Hyeri, and not the full person. Plus, yeah, the shock, difficulty to understand yet.
Flowerpots against the yellow cab. Insistent shots from the director on that. Ep3 at 20:10, then Ep7 at 04:20. Here the screenshots: https://imgur.com/a/flowerpots-F033S1n
First one Hyeri is absent, Ju-Huyn leave. Night. Hyeri has leave work. Second one, with Hyeri bicycle. Day. Hyeri has arrived to work.
Difficult to make sens of it as the flowers are slightly different. The order of pots is inverted. The big one always has a RED flower. Someone here has speak about RED and YELLOW colors, alas I've lost the comment. Red is the color of ballon hidding Hyeri on photo. Yellow is color of Hyeri presence on EunHo. Or something like that.
First time, the big pot is close to the boxes used in Hyeri job. Second time, the big pot is now close to Hyeri bicycle.
I trust enough writer to not put that by chance, and of course director to insist loudly on the shots. Then, I'm not able to make sens of that now. And I scratch my shin about the flower being different. The small pot had some white-yellow flower first time, and now it's rather pink ones. Red flower isn't as big than before.
I've the feeling it could be related about how grow Hyeri. Now, she fully looks like EunHo, speaks far better than before, maybe not as well yet.
I would be curious to see that: Ju-Hyeon trying to know Eun-Ho more. Isn't it logic? He even says in a line they are the same person. I don't know yet if the writer will go in this direction, or will keep a more selfish version of Ju-Hyeon, mostly interested in Hyeri, and just let's say it, it's like he wish Eun-Ho disappear.
FYI a lot of people not continue to watch bcs fl no longer in s2
Here I was speaking only about the actress. About the plot, or the pace, I found part2 had slow-down. It was a bit unbalanced, and some scenes where boring.
Writing is excellent but isn't perfect and you spoted a weakness. Indeed, few scenes are confusing because of…
Better to take a look at the list of characters/actors then. I think a drama should never force audience to do that. About the grannies: for now, it's useless to know their names. But we need to know names of people in the media station.
Juyeon's reaction to Hyeri is not healthy. Saying he will act like nothing happen, he wants to live in an illusion.…
The café scene change a lot the perspective and how we see their relationship. Is he really only a taker? Or is it because we are in shock after that scene? I'll rewatch that scene, it's an excellent one.
So after giving it another shot....ep 6 is kinda confusing... so hyeon oh and ji on are brothers and su jeong…
Writing is excellent but isn't perfect and you spoted a weakness. Indeed, few scenes are confusing because of name dropping. I was confused. Now on episode 7, for the first time, I can get it right about plot conversations in the media, of who is who and do what, as I had time to assimilate names of the people.

Because of directing and writing. Actors complete the job.
