I'm starting to watch episode 1 now. I was pleasantly surprised to see Park Ji-young (Misuk, the FL's mom in Love Next Door) here, and as usual, she's amazing. I also recognise the child actresses portraying little Darim (Kim Si-woo, she's on Dear Hyeri recently) and little Charim (the pretty Jeon Ji-a, little Baek Harin in Pyramid Game). Lastly, there was a cameo of Choi Jaeyun (little Haejun in Family By Choice) here as well. :)

I was also quite surprised to see the motel room scene in this supposedly family weekend drama, LOL.

Overall I think it's quite different from the usual KBS weekend dramas, and definitely, it looks much better than the earlier weekend drama Beauty and Mr Romantic which I dropped and couldn't finish. Let's see how it goes. :)

So the ML and FL were childhood friends when they were young? Were the girl and boy at the pear orchard the ML and FL when they were young?

Yes but they fought in a hotel, lol.

I thought the accident happened in Singapore? The new husband died, she was injured badly and only her daughter (Sanha's stepsister) survived.

That was when she asked Sanha to come to Singapore to take care of her and his little stepsister.

I might be wrong though since it's been a while since I watched Go Ahead.

Nobody is talking about it because it's not much shown in this drama, unlike in the original Chinese drama. But let's just see how it goes in the next episodes.

Correct, the accident is yet to take place as of end of episode 2.

But then in the ep3 preview, we see her mom coming to see Sanha (with his stepsister) without crutches. So they might not use accident trope but other reason to make the mother wants to take back Sanha. Let's see next week.

If I remember correctly, in the original Chinese drama, Sanha's mom re-married and had a daughter, and moved to Singapore. The family then had a car accident, her new husband died, and she (Sanha's mom) was injured badly and had to use crutches (walking aid). So she asked Sanha to come to Singapore to take care of her and his half-sister who was still young (correct me if I'm wrong).

However, in this drama, based on the 3rd episode preview, I think they will have a different story. Let's see how it goes next week. :)

If you don't mind spoilers:

Viu for me.

I don't think it'll happen here, the time skip goes into their high school year, by which she should've already had her first period by then.

They are not blood related. It's the same case with the main lead.

For those expecting the "first-period" scene from the original drama, I don't think it'll be here. The time skip at the end of episode 1 / start of episode 2 is already into their high school years, and by that age, she should've already had her first period by then.

There was, in the original version, both of them like the sister.

He is the ML in this drama.

yes

i am glad that you decided not to skip the scenes with the child actors. not only it's important to give background for the drama's storyline, but yeah the child actors are doing a good job, not only they're cute, they act very good as well.

I understand what you are saying and I am disappointed as well, but for me I would still continue to watch it because my expectation from the beginning is that it won't match the original. And with a reduction from 40 episodes (or 46 episodes for the TV version) to just 16 episodes. I already expected that not only the pace will be much faster, there will be some things that will be gone as well. So I will still continue watching.

Good assessment, though, I fully agree on what you said.

Yes the mother in Go Ahead is even crazier. It's the same plot.

It was not yet known what happened to her. I guess we shall see in the later episodes.

Have completed watching the first two episodes and I love this drama dearly. I also have watched Go Ahead and I also like the drama very much, as long as you understand that this is just a remake, not a replica, with a shortened 16 episodes instead of the original 40 or 46 episodes, you will appreciate how good this drama is. Good writing, and spectacular acting of all the cast including the child actors, a bit fast-paced compared to the original, obviously, missed certain details, but still one of the better Korean dramas out there compared to other dramas released this year, really.
