One thing I wanted to know the interview that choi hyung in giving is happening in present day or in 1999? looks…
It's definitely not present day considering how old the camera they're using to record the interview is. It's probably either 1999 or early 2000s, since he's still hurt and is talking about the murders with detectives that seem to be investigating the case to solve it recently. It would be a little weird to investigate it so thoroughly 20 years later. Also considering Choi Hyung is not older than the current time in 1999.
not sure if i should watch this one because off the trailers it looked pretty cool and i saved it to watch when it started, but now i just realized it will be a 50 eps drama and in all my years watching kdramas i still haven't watched a kdrama longer than 30 eps i think (i did watch the chinese version of meteor garden tho) so i'm a little unsure about the length of the eps too, considering the length of the drama.
also, there are so many nice dramas airing rn so i wouldn't want to clog my watchlist forcing myself through such a long drama (in case it gets boring midway).
guess i'll just watch the first ep/eps and decide...
What's with the rating? It has a fun start and seems to be a light watch. I'm a bit worried about the length of the show since it's a 16-ep drama and it's going a bit too fast, so I won't get my hopes up for a good plot till the end (also because ep 1 was a bit messy, tho ep 2 got much better) since we know how dramas usually get. But the pilot eps were pretty good, the chemistry is over the top and both Gyuyoung and Minjae look gorgeous. I don't get these low ratings.
When Ikjun said at the end of ep 12, "you like [sunsets] because it's time to go home. You can call it a day and go home. That's why you like it." I teared up a little. And when they said it was going to be the last time they were gonna play together. So wholesome in every way. I loved this season so much and I will miss them double as much.
This drama doesn't feel like "a drama", but more like the every day stories of real doctors who are lifelong friends and the events at a big hospital in Seoul. So beautiful in every way and will miss it a lot.
I'd love that... Maybe I'm a bit deranged, but I like fictional love affair stories when the parties involved…
Oh, yes, definitely! A friendship in which they support each other in getting out of their shitty lives would definitely be great too. But my hopeless romantic self can't not pray for romance everywhere, even when there shouldn't be, haha.
I agree with you almost on everything. Especially about Bujeong and Jeongsu's relationship, like they're just…
Cheating is not okay, so not liking it is the right thing! I just find it kind of exciting in a fictional story, like the trying not to get caught and stuff, but that's only when there's a problem in the relationship and for some reason they can't break up. But yeah, it's not the best thing either.
Also, I totally agree about Bujeong too. It's not like she's innocent or not guilty at all for the problems in her marriage, because she doesn't communicate either or make the littlest effort to open up to him again (although we still don't know if there are any reasons for that), so it's definitely wrong of her to just just herself from her husband as well.
My feeling is that his own wife and child may have died in an accident?
I agree that he would've invited Gongjin people to his wedding. But maybe he didn't actually get married? Or maybe he did but for some other reason he couldn't invite anyone. Also I don't mean that all that happened during those 5 years. Maybe it was for 1-2 and the rest of the years he spent them alone or something like that.
Even now they talk to each other while standing too close...
IKR. When Bora was performing at the lighthouse festival they were a breath away of each other. Or when they were doing the demonstration of brushing the teeth and Hyejin leaned close to Dooshik without any awkwardness. Or when they wipe each other's lips... Booboo the fools not knowing they're head over hills for each other.
So many things to say about the 2 eps from this week.
About Ahran, she's despicable and did awful things, but I also pity her after eps 3-4. She seems to be living a life full of lies and we still don't know the reason. Her conversation with Jihoon also hinted that she has a dark hidden past too that we are yet to discover. I'm curious about her background and what led her to be where she is and how she is there.
About Jeongsu, I don't like him either and I can't wait for them to divorce, but my biggest problem is that he's not 'consciously' bad. He seems to care for Bujeong a comfortable amount (for him) and seems to be okay with her being like that, which is terribly wrong, but isn't necessarily a jerk for that (yet). I find it odd that her personality change seems to have been only a year ago, but her husband and mother-in-law already blame her for shutting herself down from the world when it hasn't even been that long since she got to that state. Why can't her husband be more concerned about her and help her recover better from what troubles her? It's not like she miscarried a baby of her own, it was their baby but he seems to have just come to terms with the fact that Bujeong will be miserable forever because of that. Like I said, it's not like he's the worst husband out there, but he's definitely deserving a divorce.
Also, I don't think he _cheated_ with Gyeongeun, but more like they were close to doing something and he backed off, which is why Gyeongeun said something like, "but did we do something? Don't you regret it?" probably referring to having done nothing that deserves to be called _cheating_, and lures him into actually doing something. Don't get me wrong, I'm not approving cheating, actually for me, even going out with someone you have feelings for while in a relationship is cheating because of the intention you did it with, but apparently, in Gyeongeun's eyes they didn't do anything and wants to do something with him. So maybe he isn't a cheater yet.
I'm curious about whether Bujeong miscarrying her baby and Jeongsu and Gyeongeun doing whatever they did is correlated in terms of dates. Both things seem to have happened a year ago, so I'm wondering if it was the same day, or by the same time. Maybe after Bujeong miscarried, Jeongsu went to Gyeongeun or accidentally bumped into her and tried to do something with her as a 'stress reliever' type of cheating, when things with Bujeong got tought? If so, that would definitely make him terrible.
My guess is that Bujeong and Gangtae will keep bumping into each other or making up reasons to meet each other accidentally or coincidentally, will keep developing feelings for each other, and Jeongsu will somehow find out and assume Bujeong is cheating on him with Gangtae, when they might have not done anything yet, and that would encourage Jeongsu to "cheat back" with Gyeongeun. Later, Bujeong might find it out and get it done with Gangtae too, although that would be kind of messy and predictable.
I would rather have Bujeong free herself first either emotionally or physically and do whatever she wants to do, preferably with Gangtae, rather than do a "reverse cheating" to get together with Gangtae. Even if they don't end up together, I'd rather have them getting together of their own will, rather than pushed by external situations.
I can't explain how much I like the dynamic of this couple, plus the chemistry they exude really just makes everything even better and their relationship in the drama much stronger. The scene towards the end of ep4 where Gangtae saw Jeongsu and immediately turned back by reflect gave me so many emotions. It's the excitement and fear of the *fictional* love affair that I like to see a lot (yes, I know that's not okay, but it's only fictional for me and cheating in a healthy relationship isn't okay). Also, the fact that she ditched her husband and mother-in-law even for a bit to went to look for Gangtae made me even more interested in the development of this couple. The preview of ep5 showing Gangtae hiding Bujeong because Jeongsu is close also made me so nervous.
I wonder if the conversation that Bujeong and Gangtae will eavesdrop from Jeongsu will be him talking with the Food Curt worker about Gyeongeun. We heard Jeongsu saying he likes her in a voice off, so if he's saying that there while they are listening it will be so embarrassing for Bujeong... But I would also kind of want it... We'll have to wait and see.
Either way, I can't wait for the next weekend. This drama is so beautifully sad and interesting and has an amazing script. I hope the writer, director and cast win every award they get nominated for.
by the end of ep 4 i feel like they both gonna develop some feelings for each other, but i personally can't see…
I'd love that... Maybe I'm a bit deranged, but I like fictional love affair stories when the parties involved are in unhappy marriages / have a sad life, like it's the case here. I'd like to see them developing feelings for each other and acting upon them for a while, still being aware of the 'wrong' in their actions, then heal and break up in good terms. That would be such a great development for me. Also, definitely Bujeong divorcing Jeongsu, lol. I don't think Jeongsu is a jerk or the worst husband out there, or that he doesn't love/care for her (so far), but he's definitely not a good husband, he's dense and has no idea how to take care of his wife, even more so knowing she's sick and struggling with life this much. This is such a beautifully sad story, it's impossible not to love it.
I don't think they're gonna delve into those accidental encounters, to be honest. I feel (and hope) that they'll…
Agree! I'm never a fan of love triangles but in this one I think it's kind of needed? Like to spice things up between the leads and the typical realization that they are deep into each other. It's gonna be tough, especially since Dooshik is probably holding himself back because of his past experience / Hyejin's constant rejections, and Hyejin is in an internal battle because of her own relationship trauma too. But either way, I can't wait for them to realize how deep they are into each other's business. I mean, you don't run under the rain hand in hand and play at a seashore smiley and touchy with someone you're not absurdly deep in love with. They're booboo the fools.
My feeling is that his own wife and child may have died in an accident?
That's exactly my guess. I think he actually had a family and they died in an accident and he blames himself for that, which is why he doesn't get romantically involved with anyone ever but lives his life helping people. I also think he might have been very calculating and thorough, being an engineering graduate from SNU, and that might have led somehow to the accident that killed his family, say, he was working hard or doing something about his career when his family died, which is why he doesn't want to live a luxury life where you work and work all the time and can't find time to protect the people you love and help others.
I don't understand the reason for the flashback @ the end of ep6. They already met at the beach by chance when…
I don't think they're gonna delve into those accidental encounters, to be honest. I feel (and hope) that they'll just leave them as accidental coincidences to show the viewer that the two were connected from before without realizing it and even without their knowledge, rather than the typical, "oh, wait, you were the random girl I only saw once at a store and fell in love with for the rest of my life???" I feel like this would make much more sense.
Not to be dramatic but I might literally die when Dooshik and Hyejin and get together and start being lovey dovey and kissy and touchy with each other. They're holding my life together, I love them so much.
It was cute but nothing special. It was fun the first half, the second was a bit repetitive and predictive. But it was kinda enjoyable overall. The kiss was the worst kiss I've ever seen in kdramas and that's a statement, considering how bad kisses are mandatory kdramas.
also, there are so many nice dramas airing rn so i wouldn't want to clog my watchlist forcing myself through such a long drama (in case it gets boring midway).
