So to sum up, what do you guys think Mu Hee’s fear is that she keeps pushing/pulling her love? The fear of being loved? The fear that love will eventually fade away? The fear of kindness because kindness will kill her ( as in the poem)?

Its also because of the writing. The actor can only convey so much. HJM was the whole 20 spisodes of dealing with DID and the female character, albeit knowing Robin is the split identity, chooses to love the split identity. Here we got 6 eps of DID and once it starts getting messy, we have the ML who finally understands the situation and by hugging the split identity, he calms and heals FL.

I had the same question- what was he upset about? However, I think she could be pretty confusing and it took him time to really understand her.

Did you like Hyde, Jekyll, Me? I actually loves that drama and despite not generallt well perceived by the audience, I personally found the story touching and I was rooting for the main identity. I thought about HJM too when I see this drama.

Could you summarize it for me? I completed the drama but may have missed it.

Does anyone understand the part where she was waiting at the front door to pick up the recorder from Joo Ho Jin but stood him up because she had to go with her aunt and uncle? Like what was so urgent that she had to leave?

I’d rather her parents dead than this. Why would the dad- after the poisoning- not report the mom to the police? Why would he stop seeing his daughter after the incident? Why would the mom still be closest to the dad and to find her is to find him first? - this very last part of the story is unimaginably stupid.

For me, the first 6 episodes were pure magic. The sceneries, the cinematography, the way the screen seemed to vibrate with restrained emotion—two people trying so hard to let each other go while secretly savoring every moment they still had together. That quiet tension, the stolen glances, the almost-confessions—it was beautifully done.

The highlight of the drama was the aurora scene. The ML is suddenly placed in an emotionally impossible position. The woman he has been desperately avoiding—the object of his long-standing, one-sided love, now about to get married—reenters his life by joining the project. Simply by being nearby, she inevitably pulls his attention back toward her. Not because he chooses it, but because unresolved feelings have gravity.

The FL understands this immediately. She already likes him, yet she chooses to step back, rooting for his happiness even if it means excluding herself. The ML, still unsure of his own feelings, naturally drifts away from her attention-wise. In his mind, nothing has been decided yet.

And yet—this is the quiet brilliance of the episode—even with his crush physically present, even after his accident, it is the FL he thinks of. He reaches out to her, asking her to come see the aurora with him. That choice, small as it seems, signals something important: his feelings for the FL are no longer incidental. They are growing, surfacing despite everything he is trying to suppress.

For the FL, the moment is devastating and beautiful all at once. She knows the “opponent” is here. She knows she is supposed to step aside. She wants his happiness more than her own. But when she receives his message, what overwhelms her first is relief—he is safe, he has returned—and then gratitude: she gets to share this breathtaking aurora with him.

Standing there together, watching the sky explode with light, she wants to prolong the moment for as long as possible. Not because she is selfish, but because moments like this feel rare, fragile, and possibly fleeting.

This scene is the true climax of the first six episodes: love still unspoken, restraint battling desire, and two people quietly choosing each other—if only for one suspended, luminous moment under the aurora.

The reason of a love rivalry was for comedic relief. It wasn’t really a nonsense. I mean, look at myeong hun’s face, I can not take that man seriously. It would be fun if da wit saves him in a lawsuit one day.

I don’t understand how lawyers like FL—and the rest of the pro bono team—ever made it through the interview process at a powerhouse firm like Oh and Partners. They seem perpetually shocked by the most basic details of every case. It really makes you wonder what their professional future will look like once Kang Dawit leaves the team to take on the role of Supreme Court judge.

And I can’t help but say this—I miss the cunning, formidable lawyer who used to stand against Kang Dawit. I’m really hoping he makes an appearance in the final two episodes.

About the bond between colleagues, career etc. The drama just got better and better at the second half. I think it’s one of the most underrated dramas.

She is warming up towards the end. It was hard to watch the first few eps but the later eps were really emotional. I consider it one of the most meaningful Kdramas I’ve watched.

Love that they weave some art (poem etc.) into the storyline. Also, that scene when he cried and said “See you at the funeral” was really good.

Agree with all the thigs you said. They let Moon Sori picked up the role too early in the drama. When GEum Myeong was dating Ae Sun should be 40-45 but she looks way older.

This should be a wonderful review in the review section for the drama :)

I love all the poems in the drama, starting from the very first one which Ae Sun wrote about how she hated the sea for taking her mom’s time. Now I want the book to be published for real so I can buy and read it.

Also, Moon Sori’s handwriting is so neat. She has the charisma of a poet.

As much as I love the character Gwan Sik and want to know more about him, the drama centers on the women—their perspectives and the relationships they navigate throughout life. For example, Aesun’s stepfather is portrayed only vaguely, while his second wife is given more depth because of the impact she has on Aesun—paying her rent, giving her belongings, and so on. Similarly, Aesun’s father dies early on, allowing the story to explore how his absence affects the grandmother, his wife, and their daughter, Aesun. Even in Yeongbom and Geummyeong’s relationship, it’s the mother-in-law’s strong opposition that’s highlighted, while the father-in-law’s viewpoint remains unclear. The entire series seems to focus on what it means to be a woman—as a daughter, a mother, a wife, and a companion to other women.

I think vol 3 is more about losing a lover

Losing a spouse 🥲

Exactly! Even the chief’s young wife now looks like his aunt.
