I came fully knowing that Yoo Ah In’s character- Tae In is mute in this film but I didn’t even notice that there was no dialogue between Tae In and the other characters at all. Yoo Ah In’s acting made you feel like there were lines passed along from his lips directed to those he interacted with. He just drew you in. He excellently made it possible to understand all his gazes, actions, emotions, and thought process WITHOUT. UTTERING. A. SINGLE. WORD.
The movie was really amazing in all its rawness and “purity” but it left scars on me, thinking about the most possible end to the siblings.
What is your view on how often they meet in Switzerland? Because Seri said it was her happiest two weeks during…
I still think it’s two weeks a year. Initially I thought it could be more frequent than that basing on Manager’s Hong’s statement too, but what Seri said to the Swiss artist she met at the piano concert venue was a dead giveaway— “ for me, these are the best two weeks of the year”.
Perhaps Manager Hong remarked “Switzerland again?” (I forgot the exact words) was because she kept going there, annually, for two weeks which, is a lot of time away from work. Plus before reuniting with Jeong Hyeok, Seri had been traveling to Switzerland whenever she gets the chance to be off work, hoping to meet JH there. Those personal trips (in the guise of being business trips) were more than twice a year which she did for at least 2 years before finally reuniting with JH.
It must have bugged the employees why she kept going to Switzerland of all places.
The problem in this is that I’ve seen several projects of Han Ji Min and she uses the same acting style each time, that I find watching her in this- annoying. On the other hand, Hyun Bin’s acting really pulls you in and controls you even, but HJM sadly didn’t do any of that for me.
Overall, it’s an okay drama. It fits Hyun Bin and HJM, actually. But of course, the writer could have done better.
I think its nothing big I mean if you have seen there's that past story where Seri was left alone at beach by…
That’s a very good question. I also thought about it as it always interests me how psychologically- challenged minds work. My take on it was that, she already loved Seri and was seriously considering her as her own, but doing so made her feel like crap, her pride couldn’t take the fact that she has learned to love the fruit of the relationship that made her suffer. The only solution to relieve her of the humiliation and pain was to end her life, but she knows that Seri is already very attached to her so she wanted to end both of their lives, separately. Sparing Seri from seeing her actually die.
But part of me also thinks that her primary objective was to get rid of herself and Seri- her dying and Seri missing. I couldn’t quite choose which one seems more plausible but either way works.

Hi, I hope this is not too late but allow me to shed some light regarding CLOY’s take on not delving deeper into the biological mom thing.
It has been so because most South Korean families would cover infidelity issue to save face, especially so for elite families. It’s kinda common there that it needed no special attention for the script.
So basically, SeRi’s dad and adoptive Mom are both from prominent families. Dad cheated and bore a child- Seri, but covered his infidelity by making people believe that his wife bore her. The wife just went with the flow, but the whole fiasco actually wrecked her, affecting her mental state that she wanted to end her life but first she must abandon Seri at the beach to do so.
When she woke up from her mental stupor, it was already very late as Seri got severely traumatized by the betrayal, as she didn’t know yet that she’s not her biological Mom. It only made sense later when she found out she’s born out of infidelity, making her think that she’s truly unwanted by the person she loved the most.
Then she left the house, straining their relationship more.
And yes, I get your point that you want even just a piece of her biological Mom in the series, and also yes, everything else that I will say are based on assumptions. It’s just that the story did imply that the biological Mom was insignificant society-wise, perhaps she was just a one-night-stand by the CEO or just another whore that got impregnated. All of which made Seri think it’s pointless to even meet her because it would open a whole can of worms. It could even affect their family name even more.
Loool, this tv show is exactly like One Spring Night. Or should I say it's the other way around. Idk, gives me…
Both dramas are from the same production crew too. SYJ got offered One Spring Night but she turned it down (despite her closeness to the team) perhaps because it was pretty similar with SITR. She then got offered with CLOY and accepted it.
I think the biggest win was the fact that HJP wasn't lonely by the end. From everything that had been set up with…
I think the problem of most of our co-JP stans is we underestimated JP’s resilience. The finale slapped me hard with that. He was really strong and tough all along that romantic heartbreak could not do much damage on the other facets of his life. And that was the most satisfying part. “Ahh, I rooted for the best character indeed. He’s really the best one to emulate.”
Exactly. The child's behavior because of this drama is sad. People can hate the script but the directing was fantastic,…
Nah. I prepared myself from ep 1 to not lean on anyone to end up with the girl yet the plot devices still screamed for JP endgame but I saw how they were ignored by the writer in order for DoDal and made the resolution for the premise lackluster.
Still, it was satisfying to see a safe ending. DoDal was cute and JP-Halmeoni combo was too adorable.
