All are Korean dramas except Nirvana in Fire, a Chinese drama.
can someone explain who is the woman that looks like the ML MOTHER?? and why she has a picture of her mother.
She is the editor that helped to publish the book for Aesun's poems. She was the little girl who picked the ring and the slightly older girl who came to the market with her mom and bought squid from Aesun. Her adult version was portrayed by the same actress who portray Aesun's mom: Yum Hye-ran but it's just that she portrays two different characters in this drama. Just like IU who portrays 2 characters: young Aesun and Geum-myeong.
9.2😯 Why?1. How's the romance?2. Any love triangles?3. Slow burn or fast-paced romance?4. Happy ending?
This is a slice of life drama so to answer your question:
1. Romance = mediocre. 2. No love triangles, except slight one when Bu Sang Gil is almost marrying Ae Sun. 3. Not much romance. Not slow burn or fast-paced, it's in between, with timeline switching. 4. Bittersweet ending.
Shouldnt Kim Seon Ho be listed as Support role instead of Guest Role??
He's more like Jun-young, like cameo or special appearance. While his character is significant (as Geum-myeong's husband), he doesn't have much screentime even on volume 4. So yeah he's more like a guest role rather than support role.
You sure you want to know? It’s a total spoiler but I was happy with it’s direction
It's not love triangle. Geum-myeong ended her relationship with Yeong-beom because of his mother. They broke up in good terms. She only started relationship with Chung-seob much later.
Have finished episode 11. A beautiful drama with a unique story about childhood trauma. The scene when Kanghee meets the child version of herself is really touching.
Looking forward to watch the final episode soon! (not now, a bit busy lol)
But you need to understand that the FL is portraying two different characters here. She was Ae-sun when she kissed the ML, and she was Geum-myeong when she kissed Jun-young. So it's different. :)
If I remember correctly, IU and Jun-young briefly kissed several times, when they were still together (before their break up). So far not yet with Seon-ho.
What an awesome episode 11. There are two different opinions on the break up of Geum-myeong and Yeong-beom.
One opinion thinks that the break-up is the correct decision. If they continue with the marriage, Geum-myeong will have a hard time being accepted by the family. No matter how much she loves him, and how much he loves her, Yeong-beom will not be able to protect her when she joins the family.
Another opinion thinks that Yeong-beom is not brave enough to defend Geum-myeong from his family, especially his mother. And that they should just go ahead with their marriage, regardless of what the family (and especially the mother) think. He should be like Gwansik, to go against all odds!

I haven't watched TW so no comment on that. But so far only these two dramas managed to get 9.2 rating, the rest of the top dramas are 9.1 and below.
Remember that So-ri and Hae-joon didn't appear much in the first 6 episodes.
1. Romance = mediocre.
2. No love triangles, except slight one when Bu Sang Gil is almost marrying Ae Sun.
3. Not much romance. Not slow burn or fast-paced, it's in between, with timeline switching.
4. Bittersweet ending.
According to this:

9.2 is the highest rating any dramas here in MDL can get so far. There are only two dramas that have this rating now:
When Life Gives You Tangerines
Twinkling Watermelon
The rest of the best dramas have a rating of 9.1 and below.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
You: Exactly, that's the whole point!
LOL.
Looking forward to watch the final episode soon! (not now, a bit busy lol)
No wonder why the rating here in MDL keeps going up. It was 8.9 yesterday and today it reaches 9.0.
Daebak.

What do you think, realistically? :)
