her mom died at the later part of episode 1

the best child actor performance on this drama would be kim tae-yeon, the child ae-sun. she is spectacular!

done :)

OK, I am starting to watch episode 2 now. Interestingly, it follows Pachinko's storytelling method when they jump between generations. Love it.

I watch in kdramahood

Agree. And may be a bit of Welcome to Samdalri. :)

Finished watching the first episode. The cinematography is spectacular. The acting is top-notch across all casts. Agree with a commenter below that the young actress portraying the child Ae Sun, Kim Tae-yeon, stands out with her spectacular acting. I also saw Moon Woo-jin briefly as pre-teen Gwan Sik.

Can't comment about Park Bo Gum and IU for now since they only appear briefly at the end of the first episode. Looking forward to watching the next episodes!

No, 4 episodes per week.

Finally completed watching the last episode, which I feel to be too rushed, inconclusive with an abrupt ending. Still enjoying the drama mainly due to the superb acting performance of all the cast.

I am at episode 16 now. I am scared of blood so I stopped watching when Jeyi's dad refused to do the surgery on Seulgi's body and Jeyi said she would perform the surgery herself.

And I agree with some commenters here stating that the storyline is so confusing. I am not too sure if those are plotholes but some of the story just doesn't make sense.

Shall I continue watching?

yes, hana was running away and hiding from her abusive parents when she saw yujin and seyoung at the docks, just before yujin went missing.

....

Just speechless watching the last episode. So hectic.

Unlikely. Yujin is not the FL, Hana is.

"I hope Ha Na doesn't accept anything more than a friendship from him. "

Unlikely, they are the FL and ML of the drama. In K-dramas, both leads will usually end up together (well except certain dramas such as 2521, lol).

Jiseok often come to the house nowadays after Hana's back, wondering why he hasn't cross path with Mr Han who lives in the house. It doesn't make sense, lol.

I don't think grandpa knows that it was his sister in law (Myeong Ji) who killed his daughter (Yujin). If he knew, he would've told the chairman to kick her out of the house.

His (and the chairwoman's) priority is always Eun Chong's safety. If he knows that Myeong Ji killed Yujin, he would've done something since having her in the house is a threat to Eun Chong's safety as well.

I agree with you that all the things grandpa do doesn't make sense. His character is being written very poorly.

Everything could have been resolved if the Chairwoman had told Hana the truth, sincerely apologised and told her that she wanted to adopt her. Then Hana can adopt Eun Chong.

Now it's too late already.

Try to rewatch episode 3 or 4 (I forgot) when Hana got adopted by Jiseok's parents. You can see how little Jiseok adored little Hana, the way he looked at her.

Yes. She's also starring as one of the main roles in the upcoming thriller Movie: Somebody (2025) which will be released next month.
