The 2nd episode was even better than the first, I'm sold....Seo Ye Ji is killing her role as Moon Young, I genuinely look forward to having her on-screen, even her visuals alone fills the scene with so much pretty.
Well in her defense it was self-defense and it took her back to her trauma
I get the worry, but he was in the care of the hospital when she went back, not quite sure how she couldve killed him with no one seeing.....i thought she went back to give the daughter the book because she wrote "dont forget this" in it
It was a good start. I liked the use of the animation and storybooks in the story, definitely, a unique way of telling it, and its only been one episode but the chemistry between Kim Soo Hyun and Seo Ye Ji is palpable. I look forward to more.
Also wanted to add, I'm sure there are funny moments here and there because I did chuckle at some scenes in episode 1 but the themes of this drama are definitely on the darker side. I am intrigued with Go Moo Yeong's story and I wanna know more about her past too, so I can tell now that as we get deeper into that, its not gonna be as funny haha as it is now, so I guess my advice would be to just be prepped for whatever fycked up stuff they have prepped (if they keep the writing consistent).
I genuinely feel like this is the best comment section for an anticipated drama I've ever seen, at least this year specifically. Hopefully, the drama starts and stays good enough throughout
LMAO as a mental health worker I fear for this.Trying to make antisocial personality disorder romantic...jesus…
From all the interviews I’ve seen the FL does have antisocial personality disorder, so it’s not a mistranslation....but they have nothing to do with each other in terms of his profession if that makes sense, they just happen to meet cause his brother with ASD likes her story books and is a fan of hers
Apparently this is a remake of the Bollywood film Dear Zindagi and the premise is a bit different in that the female lead in the Bollywood film wasn't a celebrity. If I remember correctly, the female lead does fall the therapist, but there's no actual romance in the movie, as they don't end up together. Im interested to see how this is supposed to play out correctly considering that it is unethical for doctors to date their patients
Quick question: was this drama ever advertised as a revenge drama? I don’t think it was. In fact from everything…
Just to add on even tho my mom left, it still took my mom another 12+ years to get over my dad and she wasn’t with him for near as long as Sun Woo and Tae Ho were together
Quick question: was this drama ever advertised as a revenge drama? I don’t think it was. In fact from everything we’ve seen, this drama was never really about revenge on Sun Woos part. From the very beginning they’ve showed how unhinged and disturbed everyone in this show is, but more specifically, they’re showing all the different aspects of marriage/ relationships and the different ways women deal with it or don’t, specifically in Korean society. You have Ye Rim and Je Hyuk, the chairwoman who supports Sun Woo, saying she won’t divorce, and even Hyun Seo and her bf, who act as a foil to show how toxic Sun Woo and Tae Ho are and will continue to be to each other. All of the characters show how divorce is perceived and in this case, how toxic it can be when a child is involved and the divorce is on nasty terms.
The end of episode 12 did not surprise me lol I was on the edge of my seat and I’ve definitely watched that scene numerous times cause it’s so well acted but from his return, the sexual tension every time Sun Woo and Tae Ho were on screen was thick. I do not blame her for her momentary “mistake” cause she was married to him for more than 10 yrs.
I saw some knetz saying that married people are relating to the story a lot more because they can understand compared to single people and it makes sense. My parents are divorced and it was toxic, My dad and his family were very abusive to my mom, but I’m thankful that I and my siblings were far younger than Joon Young and my mom moved to a whole other continent even though her family begged her to stay with him.
After finishing episode 5, i do believe this show would've benefited from a shorter structure, each episode is…
I actually disagree. I personally find the show better than the original. It does the vulgarity more classily and the long length doesn't take away from the sense of urgency or the emotions I feel watching it. It's because they kept the Korean elements that makes the drama so popular. Its surpassing ratings domestically, so they're clearly doing everything right to suit their audience
I've walked out of every episode with a new character to hate, this time I got 2 LMAOOOOOO
Don't get me wrong, I don't fully hate Hyun Seo cause I understand that she is a victim of domestic violence and it takes a lot to move on, but the other side of me cannot process her lying to Sun Woo after everything she's done for her
Joon Young won me over a bit towards the end of episode 8 when he was worried about Sun Woo and good for him for seeking out therapy for like 6 months even though, no disrespect to Yoong Ki, that shyt ain't working lol Its not that I don't understand JY's reactions a bit, but when I was 6 years old, my dad cheated on my mom and ironically ended up getting sh*t by his mistress's boyfriend. Because of this, my mom spent more time at the hospital taking care of my dad than with me and my sister as kids. When my mom finally decided to call it quits and get an official divorce, I was 7 and I stood by her all the way. I didn't catch my dad in the act of cheating, but I could see he hurt her and I wanted nothing to do with him and I still don't at 23 as much as I used to love him as a child.
Long story short, I've been in the same situation as JY and I was nowhere as privileged as he is, but the fact that he chooses to blame himself on his dad getting caught cheating rather than his dad for actually cheating and hurting his mom is what truly makes me dislike him. Yes, Sun Woo gets tunnel vision when it comes to JY, but what mother wouldn't??? She carried him for 9 months and birthed him. She has tried to get close to him, she recommended that he go to baseball camp and that she would take time off work to go with him, he said no....then gets mad at her saying his dad knows what he likes better.........he chooses to shut her out, yet he's ready to welcome his dad back with open arms.
To now make matters worse, he's resorted to stealing
One of the things this drama does right is that even though every episode is like 1.5 hours long, it doesn't drag. Like the plot is so fast paced which is unique because there are dramas that have shorter episodes but drag
a great start
