Finally started watching. OMG! She hgot so mad and frustrated that it healed her selective mutism! Woah! All the comments were making it seem like she was choosing not to talk on purpose to decieve him all along. She never pretended to be anyone other than herself....except now. I can't believe her mum's lie caused this- if she'd admitted that HeeJoo wasn't with her, then, he'd have taken the first call seriously sooner.
Before the eighth episode, I really liked it, yes, very sincerely, positively and warmly, but then, and in general,…
Noting that I believe this paled in comparison to the original (I need them to go back and edit the ending with SanHa and his mum, change Dal and her mum and give SanHa more anxiety and less security in his relationship with JuWon), I feel a bit drawn to comment on your post. 1. Seoul is around 5-6ish hours away by car or bus. They could do a fast train to get there in 4, maybe. 1b. They'd expressed that it wasn't necessarily the distance keeping him away, but the mother's refusal to have him see his Haedong family and his own misguided sense of maturity. (I wish they'd done a bigger scene with the dad, like in the original, where he apologises for not going to get him and drag him back.) 2. The guardian gave permission for him to be raised by this "stranger", so there was no issue. The dad did not pick up an unreported child off the street, he was raising the child of someone familiar and the aunt visited them often.
Hear me out... I swear Dunk can act...but...like... something happens when he's opposite Joong...like...does he forget how to act? Like... all the subtlety from scenes with other actors just disappear. Is it...a protest?<---[humorous tone...but, like...] Did the sound editing team need more time or was all that on purpose? The brothers are wonderful. Wonderfully portrayed and wonderfully written (so far). Kant... dude...maybe you should've warned your friend that he was dangerous, no?
I'm still enjoying the series, but I wish they had maintained the individual, anthology-style stories for each…
Same. I'd initially thought the BTS bit at the end of 2 was nice because it broke the spell of the drama and would deter people shipping the real people... then, they did this... and I think it serves the same purpose "Ah, there are real people behind these charcters who have to do this as it's their job." Still... it kinda lost a bit of it's wonder by abandoning the anthology.
Every episode (on 3 rn) they have different body language and energy. It feels like these actors actually auditioned for these roles. A stars all 'round- especially to the sound and lighting teams.
They kept the marriage proposal plot, I'm happy. Same reason as the original, just a different push. I'm liking the way HaeJun is written and played. He's not the same guy as the original... I'm missing the anxiety surrounding the male lead. It's there, but not as THERE. Don't get me wrong, I like this version... there are just some things I'm longing for. I'm still thinking about him begging for pity, or his eyes and body language whenever she didn't seem as utterly committed as he was.
I... I can't believe Dal is actually a lawyer. Noooo!!! I know there's not enough time to do all the side stories but I really wanted that blow up with the mum. I really wanted her to have failed on purpose. That informed her career SO MUCH!!!
I've been binging all day. I was about to watch 19 when I came here to see some spoilers. I should not have come. This is not a nice place. OMG!!! I can't get those hours back. My eyes are all blurry and everything.
She did him dirty. The obvious aside, he was wealthy. She was his happiness. He probably could've gotten her treatment somewhere. Money could've bought them happiness... that was her belief, wasn't it?
He said why, though. He kept in contact because it’s DH’s father. It made sense to him.
I consume a lot of dramas/ fiction and am pretty good at logical thinking. I can see what they were setting up. No need to convince me of anything- I was simply engaging in conversation. The first half (set up) is over and now we move on to getting questions answered.

He WAS adopted. Being adopted doesn't mean he doesn't have a loving family. They said it in the past. Dad said it to DH. They did show by showing how the elders treat him and the dad showing up unannounced. He was not brainwashed. A whole thing they're doing is showing us the difference between the old way of teaching and the new way, isn't it? People got beat up by teachers and coaches and were still relatively close with them- that's just how it was. I'm with you that the dad's version of events in the past is wrong, but that's his point of view and JY is such a good guy/golden retriever character that he's letting the dad think what he wants. How was episode 3 convoluted?
