Definitely, this is one of the best daily dramas I have ever seen. Seeing the active discussions here makes me think that I am not the only one who thinks that way. :)
I remember some references to "A Profitable Cage" as the literal translation of this drama's title. Can I confirm that it's just a literal translation, doesn't have a specific meaning, and is unrelated to the drama's topic?
I don't see any "cage" or anything profitable besides Hadeul Hospital/Foundation, the Madangjib (Courtyard House) restaurant, or perhaps the Bibi Roll business, lol.
My take, it's still fifty-fifty. Yes, in the latest episode, it implies that he's kind and he wants to reveal the truth to his mom soon. But at the same time, he's still under influence of his father and wife.
So I think it's not clear yet on which side he'll be taking. Yes there's a cliffhanger when he wanted to talk to Uri but I don't think he will reveal that at that point. It's meant to be a cliffhanger lol lol.
Ah! I totally agree that she doesn't look like a 54 yo but more like 44 yo. But do be mindful there are a lot…
You are right -- Kim Hee-Jung, I just looked her up and realised that she portrays Jin-Ok in the Sweet Home drama series. I watched the series but didn't recognise her lol. And yes she's of the same age as Hyun Kyung.
Last night's episode also touched on these, albeit just lightly:
(1) Ara's biological mom --> will she be back for Ara? If she does, what will happen? Wouldn't the Madangjib family be missing her if Ara left with her biological mom? Would there be a chance that Ara might choose to stay with the Madangjib family even though her mom is back?
(2) Woo Chang samchon's date/love matters --> Will there be a chance for samchon to win Sun Young's heart and for them to be together in the end? Up until now, it seems that Sun Young has been very cold to him and there seems to be no intention for SY to even start a new relationship with anyone.
I am really looking forward to the next episodes to see how everything will turn out.
Uri told his mom how his school friends were in awe of his mom's beauty and asked him if she was a Miss Korea winner. They were right, lol. Hyun Kyung (the actress portraying Sun Young) was the winner of Miss Korea 1989 in real life.
While I don't really like the Sun Young character (see my previous comments below), I really adore and love the actress -- Oh Hyun Kyung. Her beauty isn't waned by age. I can't believe that she's 54 now, she really looks like 34.
you are starting it now and I just completed it. idk about your taste but it was a 10/10 for me. I think, I'm…
I am at episode 8 now. I watched it slowly because there are new ongoing dramas I am currently watching such as Good Partner, Love Next Door, Perfect Family etc.
Episode 8 is intense. I really didn't expect that the Lee Do Hyun character would betray the IU character in the past. I thought he was her love interest in the past who would then be re-incarnated as the ML (the Jin Goo character), but I guess I was wrong, lol.
After watching ep 7 at least got to know Tsuno's character. He definitely got friend zoned by Mizuki, as she never…
Actually it's not a fictitious new man. When she asked Natsu to break up, when she said that she found someone she likes more, and that she loves the person more than him, she was referring to her unborn child. Umi.
She broke up with him after deciding that she wants to keep the baby, but didn't want to burden him.
I just realised that after I re-watched episode 1.
Isn't Umi is too mature? She is the one who pampering everyone. ðĪĶââïļ
In general, I think Japanese and Korean children are more mature than their age compared to children in other countries -- not only in dramas but in actual reality.
I understand that in Japan, even 6-7 year old children (first grader in elementary school) are already going to school by themselves.
BTW, I've increased my own rating for this drama to 10/10. What a beautiful and heartwarming drama. Can't wait for the subbed version of episode 8 to be available!
For those who said that Yayoi is not a good person and skip her scenes:
Yayoi is a very good character.
(1) She has to face the reality that her current boyfriend suddenly has a 7-year-old daughter. Yet she is determined to stay with her boyfriend and wants to help in raising the daughter (who technically is not hers) together.
Some girlfriends might have just left their boyfriends if they found out that they already have a child from previous relationships.
(2) She was forced to abort her baby in the past due to pressure from her then-boyfriend and her mom. She regretted it and is still feeling guilty of "killing" her baby up until now.
Her regrets, which were written in the hospital's guest book, inspired Mizuki not to abort her baby, thus Umi was born.
Yayoi is a very good person, and I am rooting for her to be together with Natsu and raise Umi together at the end. I am sure that she will be a good wife and mother.
I don't get it. Why did some of u guys hate/dislike yayoi character? All I can see from the clips is that she…

Isn't it to be too harsh? It's not Bean's fault that he/she was born into an evil mom. Bean is innocent... (sad face)
Is there any other solution, other than miscarriage? May be revelation that Bean is not HS's child, but someone else's?
