Yup....It mattered not what time and what mode Jun Wan would use. Ik Jun was going to force that meeting. Besides the writer spent quite a bit of time on the specifics in both their scenes.

Everyone can't be happy LOL That's life. But yes Rosa and the Chairman Ju are relationship goals. Love at any age. I do like how comfortable with each other they are but what is their story. They have known for over 60 years, and married other people. Yikes just had a thought, what if that is Ik Jun and Song Hwa in the future and we are getting clues...Nah! PD would not do that to us. Andrea is uneasy since he knows first hand that the injuries Gyeo Ul described are not consistent with the events. What does he really know though since he is always pressing her to unload her worries on him. Maybe Ik Jun told him something (since he is the village gossip).

Perhaps the preview you mention is from a flashback from a conversation already had??? That preview scene for next week's episode irked me. Seems that Jun Wan was still running after her to "talk." Enough already. Were his eyes not closed when she got on the train? I guess her scent he never forgot.

I remember reading somewhere that PD Shin said that fans of the pair would not be disappointed. So maybe that is his penance for messing up the love triangle from Reply 1988?

Deeyut's theory that Ik Jun saw their picture in Ik Sun's phone is a good one. "He shouldn't have" meant Ik Jun should not have intervened for them to meet. I want them to stay the way is.

These guys have been friends for over 20 years and have a dynamic with each other that most people would envy. If the friendships were "newly formed" then yes some sort of information sharing space is warranted. This group seems to only share the fun times with each other or when a tragedy happens, they come together to grieve as group, but for the everyday assurances that come with daily living and trials, they are incognito. Also the only reason why Jun Wan confided somewhat to Jae Hak about his relationship worries with Ik Sun was out of desperation because it was a secret that had to be kept from Ik Jun...and he ended up getting very bad advice LOL. Jun Wan never should have bought and sent her a couple ring since she explicitly told him not to. That was probably the beginning of the end for them. But I forgave Jae Hak since he is one of my favorite characters in the drama.

I feel the same way...that is very odd me that they are all so emotionally detached from the truth about their worries with each other.

...and what I wondered was had he not already tentatively put his feelings out there to her and been rebuffed, would he have hugged her? because you know he wanted to and what other situation cries out for a hug than that scene!

Song Hwa to Ik Jun: "How did you even think to get this for me?"
Ik Jun (the snack thief): "Because I love you"
Seriously though....what more does he have to do?
Wintergarden (sigh) they are so cute.
Eye rolled the last few minutes with Jun Wan and Ik Sun. Puhleeze!

Is this the first time we have seen her cry? I can't remember another time when she did but I was crying with her.

I say Yes...it's the simple things sometimes that makes a person suddenly look at someone in a totally different light. If after Ik Jun going so out of his way to get her that grill just to make her happy does not kick her brain out of the friend zone, then I don't know what will.

He shouldn't have.

Unnecessarily so but I have come to realize "miscommunication" is a staple in Asian dramas.

Have not watched Into the Ring but will add to the watchlist. A piece of your mind and Do you like Brahms are just visually stunning even without the content as you have aptly described. The choice to cast the leads for both dramas was definitely the right one as the chemistry was felt wholeheartedly. Sometimes I will watch a drama which while checking all the boxes ultimately fails for me because one of leads just was not right or convincing in the role.

Give When The Weather is Fine a shot. The two main leads were such tortured souls but the way they ultimately found each other was just beautiful and the cinematography was just amazing.

Absolutely...but you may want to start with Season 1 first if you have not already. This way you are introduced to the 5 main characters, the hospital staff and others directly associated with them. This drama is not for everyone but if you want a true SOL series without the regurgitated plot lines and clichés, one that will make you laugh, cry, melancholic-all in a hour and a half, this is the one for you.

The morale of Episode 7: Don't judge a book by it's cover. The Security Guard whose mom expired in the ER; The brother of Ik Jun's latest transplant patient; The mother who wanted a Heart Transplant for her baby; The Pediatric Dr who had a meltdown in the ER.

It was meant as a joke. I definitely need to work on my delivery. 😊

The job of a Transplant Coordinator has to be one of the most difficult and emotional draining ones there is. Imagine having to comfort an already grieving family member in one breath but within minutes coax them into consenting for the organs to be donated. Ik Jun this week once again shows how multi dimensional his personality is. Cheerful and silly but stern and professional when the situation calls for it. The way he approached Yoon Bok, gently scolding her for being too hard on the brother of the Transplant patient without actually walking in his shoes just reminds me that he is not all fun and games. I actually skipped over that entire scene to watch today because I was so sure that the surgery had failed given the scene buildup.
