The good things about EP 6 was the ending #1 bc why were they so cute and we only saw them for a millisecond together…
I'd mention the move he made for her comes from before she breaks-up. So, she's yelling non-stop and he can't even explain! lol. Yeah, her lines were a good flow. To rewatch for pleasure.
For me the last 2 episodes were the strongest so far. I'm really digging into the subplots for each character.…
I'm mitigate because all the backstory long inserts are also slowing down. So my preference goes to episode 2-4, with shorter (more mysterious) flashbacks.
Flashback. Staircase, day. (The one of the breakup) EunHo+HyeonO have been dating for 3 months. Excellent: when she starts talking about marriage, he stops and she continues up the stairs on her own. Heavy with meaning.
02:20 - Title: The farewell story. ‘For love’
02:30 - Flashback, when HyeonO has the family emergency, leaves without saying a word, and leaves EunHo alone. He looks at the pendant in his car. About to go to the grandma's.
03-10 - Flashback to HyeonO as a child + his mother. His mother has to leave. Gives her the pendant. (nice transition) 04:10, the director's framing is just crazy. Double framing + mother made invisible. The mother asks him to be where everyone can see him. I guess, so does she.
04:25 - HyeonO as a teenager. Works for his father who is a mobster or a guy in debt. HyeonO has a younger brother Ji-On and a younger sister Su-Jung. But not the same mother?
07:10 - Children face illegal moneylender. A woman. (Ban Hyo-Jung, aka one of the ‘grandma’) Have to give the father money, but he withdrew a small sum. So now the children are in trouble. The woman slaps him!
09:45 - Rotten situation, father in debt because he's a gambler. HyeonO still manages to study.
10:15 - HyeonO gets a job as a waiter. The loan woman comes to piss him off.
10:50 - Fire in the building. Father dies. So he should go to the orphanage. but...
12:00 - The loan woman comes to bother him again. As if he had debts! But it's his father's debt. I just want to punch her in the face. Unexpected: she's willing to write off the debt if... She takes him under her wing. Adopts him?! On condition that he takes care of them when they're old. 15:22 - Story of the magpie who brings a pumpkin seed. He accepts the deal.
16:04 - The woman runs an (illegal?) casino. So he has to take care of 5 women (the managers) when they get old. (Or is it 6?) We see his superb bedroom in the attic. But in those days it was dusty and cluttered.
18:30 - The woman drags brother and sister into the deal? No, at 20:10 it looks like the idea came from HyeonO.
Later, the grandmothers are happy to have children at home.
The staircase cluttered with objects, to make sure that one day or another, someone will fall down it. lol! Used for the passage of time, showing that HyeonO has grown up and....
24:40 - 2017, he was accepted as a candidate Presenter.
25:35 - Pictures of this weird family. Already seen in another episode, but it was confusing. Now it makes sense, although I wouldn't be able to say the names of any of the ladies.
27:04 - During the meal, one of the grandmothers loses her memory. The troubles of old age begin... She dies shortly afterwards.
28:00 - Funeral room. A woman tells HyeonO to get married, because that's what the grandmas want before they die. He doesn't want to, because he can't involve anyone in his task of looking after the grandmas. He would be willing to get married, but thinks that EunHo wouldn't be able to stand that kind of life.
30:36 - Restaurant, night. HyeonO+EunHo She's bought a necklace in Japan identical to his mother's, after EunHo herself lost it. lol!
32:30 - She insists that he hang the pendant in the car, but he refuses. (back to an earlier episode, when she's surprised to see the necklace in the car)
33:08 - End of backstory! Back to the car. Transition with the pendant again. Well done! It's raining BUT he's back from the grandma's. So what he did at the grandma's NOW is overshadowed by his backstory with the grandma's instead. Brilliant!
Next, breakup scene. (end of previous episode)
His ‘Be sick’ line takes on a whole new meaning. Since we know he's looking after sick grandmas. Great writing!
35:00 - He returns to his car. Pendant in close-up. He unhooks it and puts it away! And yes, this pendant, we now understand, was a symbol of his enduring love for her. That's why it was hanging in the Ep3 car, after he'd gone to fetch her from the fridge van. We don't see him crying, but tons of water are falling on the windscreen, lol!
35:56 - HyeonO in hospital, grandma's leg broken. It's confusing. Is it a flashback? From the sister, it looks like he's just arrived. So it wasn't between the time he left EunHo and came back? Shit!!! What's going on?!!
38:00 - Media, day. It's raining! Teaser scene, about the 9pm news anchor, CUT Transition to HyeonO in the hall. Answer on the TV screen: it won't be him but... Clown Jae Yong, looooool! He's just lost his girlfriend, and now his dream job. The scriptwriter is in torture mode. 39:17, magic shot of the director. He's tiny on the left, giant portrait of clown Jae Yong.
39:30 - EunHo hears the company rumours.
40:14 - Revelation from the unpleasant press chief. (the one who sponsors young Shim) It's HyeonO who doesn't want to be a 9pm presenter. WWHHHAAAATTTT?!!!!!!
40:50 - Flashback. Yeah, I predicted this, in a previous episode. When EunHo got into trouble with the boss. She leaves upset. Then we saw HyeonO enter the office. The scene here. Of course, it was to help her. To present the lunchtime news. The deal is that Shim JinWa does the 9pm news with HyeonO. BUT: the boss can't. It would create too much chaos in the company to choose two announcers to present the news. SO, HyeonO sacrifices himself. T T ... For EunHo. T T
42:50 - Chief Shin-Joong tells EunHo the facts. Some of the previous media plots were confusing, but this one is clear!
43:25 - EunHo + HyeonO What's more, she yells at him. lol! I won't recap the dialogue, but it's spicy and needs re-watching. He can't get a word in edgewise. Too bad! She leaves without his opinion. Tcham!
46:00 - Despite everything, she sheds a tear. AhaAAhh, it tortures her. She cries in the lift and...
46:45 - Flashback EunHo + HyeonO She: why are you dating me? Talks about the ‘why is HyeonO dating this loser’ rumours. The ‘embarrassing’ kind of thing, lol. He doesn't answer, but when she's gone... He types a message. Teaser. We don't see but... In the car, EunHo gets the message. ‘Because I love you’.
49:20 - Media N. HyeYeon arrives. Paparazzi rumour about her and Ju-Yun.
51:15 - She gets kicked off the news because of this. Ouch.
51:40 - Ju-Yun arrives, informed of the rumours.
52:30 - HyeYeon reads 297 unpleasant comments on the internet. Curious to see their texts... Ju-Yun arrives. 53:02, another surprising shot of the director.
Later, her apology letter. A bit incisive but not too much. I suppose, not apologetic enough, and justifying her attitude as normal. Or joking that she'll never have anyone over for a drink again. lol!
01:00:08 - Car park, night. Ju-Yun is looking for Hyeri. Still missing.
01:01:20 - EunHo and Hyeri's ring. She's putting it on! Sure enough, Hyeri comes back. ahah. And then... She's on the bike... Start smiling....
01:02:55 - Car park, daytime. Ju-Yun arrives. And.............. Sees Hyeri! The thing is now: Her hair style is almost identical to EunHo's. She says hello and cliffhanger!!! Introducing a mystery: is it really Hyeri? A Hyeri who forgot EunHo? Or a mix of the two ones? Or EunHo roleplaying?
dude I use that word asexually btw I just finished ep 13 and wrote a big reply to a review then looked at comments…
Ah, I forgot to say: good comedy often makes me smile, and smile wide when it's excellent. But could be because I'm getting old, I don't have a lot of true laughing fit. I mean: when you laugh so much that your guts hurt and you have tears!
And THIS drama had a scene that made me laugh to this point. Why? How? I've no idea, because it's so silly. It's the end of the bowling scene. First it becomes absurd along the way, with balls going anywhere, but the last shot: when the guy throws the ball and it explodes the wall and we see outside. This gag made me laugh like crazy.
1 
There are natural sounds, wind, ambiant from the street, etc. I'm ok with that.
And hanging the pendant offered by his girlfriend in his car. 😂
Lot of comments making sens and diging about the drama.
So, she's yelling non-stop and he can't even explain! lol.
Yeah, her lines were a good flow. To rewatch for pleasure.
So my preference goes to episode 2-4, with shorter (more mysterious) flashbacks.
