Doesn't seem like a proper raw has been uploaded yet but I got mine here: https://dramahd.me/soshite-ikiru/ But since the video on there is delayed by 30 seconds, you'd have to use a subtitle editor to fix that. I suppose another version will be up soon though, so I think waiting for that would be easier, haha.
Word by word, you nailed the whole thing down. JongHyun passed away. He chose to leave, but many other artists…
It's just really sad because nobody was able to stop him, and most of us probably never noticed the situation he was in. In the same way, there are most likely more artists out there who are suffering all by themselves, without us noticing despite our undying love for them.
It's been more than 24 hours since the first article was released but the whole situation still doesn't make sense to me. This was the first thing I thought about as soon as I woke up, and throughout the day I have been unable to focus. This has affected me much more than I had expected, and you can clearly see how heartbroken the whole community (whether a shawol or not) is.
SHINee were going to celebrate their 10th year anniversary next year, and throughout those years, they have managed to stay together as five lovely individuals (unlike most other groups in SM). His passing was totally unexpected but I really hope he is resting peacefully now, without any more painful days. SHINee will forever be stay as OT5 and, despite how much we will miss him, he will be watching the rest of the members, his family and friends, as well as his fans, from above.
I saw this with my friends during our lunch break at school and it just didn't seem possible in any way at first. I really thought it was an awfully evil joke and ended up spending class on researching - and SM eventually confirmed it not long ago. Jonghyun, as well as SHINee, were the ones who introduced me to this amazing world and he was like an older brother to me. Though I stopped stanning SHINee several years ago, it really breaks my heart and I feel a big amount of sadness in me. When I was going through hardships, he was there for me and just listening to his and the members' music made me believe I could do anything and I just... felt happy.
I loved his great voice and nice personality. I absolutely loved seeing him in variety shows but I was unfortunately never able to see him in front of my very own eyes. He will be missed. I hope he will never forget how much his fans, as well as his family and friends, loved (and still do) him. What breaks my heart even more is how poorly idols like him are treated, and how nobody realizes the mental pain they are going through. I wish he had received the help he needed and had taken a break from everything, to cure his depression. I really do wish we could just go back in time and fix what needed to be fixed.
Rest in peace, Kim Jonghyun. I hope you are happy where you are now, looking down at your beloved ones from Heaven.
I feel like it got a little boring throughout the middle but the ending made up for it pretty well and was able to make my rating a little higher than expected. :)
I'm probably the only one not being that excited for the 2-episode extension. I am enjoying it a lot but it's already hard for me as it is, with 1 hr. 20 min. per episode, haha. 16 episodes would have been fine with me but oh well... if the drama will not end up being draggy, I'm literally all in for 2 extra episodes!
Okay, I enjoyed episode 8 but what happened to that kiss at the end? Only Si Won seemed to be trying... I mean, rock-to-rock kisses are nothing unusual in dramas but they definitely become awkward when they turn into a human kissing with a rock.
I'm glad Jin Joo and Ban Do are beginning to work together and cooperating instead of looking down upon each other. The way they took revenge on Park Hyun Seok was also amazing! I thought it would take longer before the "villain" was taken down but I guess not. At least now Kim Ye Rim/his wife is going to live a proper life with a better man. :)
Now that the drama's almost finished, I thought I'd share how I feel regarding it.
I liked the first couple of episodes but then suddenly lost interest in it, as if the things I had enjoyed in it were suddenly gone. Yet, at the same time, I kind of understand why others are enjoying it. Normally I find popular/overrated dramas that end up being very boring a waste of time and don't see why others are enjoying it. In this case though, I think the drama has got what it deserves. It deserves its fame and I think the cast did very well... despite not keeping me interested throughout the whole show.
What is HIS problem tho, thinking he can just force her back to Korea, acting like her finishing grad school isn't…
Hah, he might not consider that going against her rights as an adult - and his older sister at that - at least. Again, he "just wants the best for her" so his excuse will most likely just be that she'll be happier if she goes back to Korea. It did not make sense to chase her around France though. Her escaping from him definitely means she has no intention or simply does not want to go back. He seems childish but he really needs to respect people's decisions, I guess. It's not like he owns her or something.
Then again, if I had been in So So's situation, I would have been thankful that my brother cared enough to want me back but at the same time... he's not supposed to block her from doing whatever she wants to do.

I mean, she's an adult (and it's not even like he's her guardian) who has the right to do whatever she wants, but I think he's mostly just trying to "protect" her... especially after what happened between her and her ex. He's probably just one of those overly protective brothers; just look at how he reacted when he saw her to-be husband back in Korea. Their parents neither supported her decision to go to France so that might be yet another reason to bring her home.
Have been waiting for this for so long. Really hope they'll do something about it next year or give us an update at least. I'm really in the mood for a university drama like Cheese in the Trap...
Now that we know So So's brother's name would it be wrong to change it on the cast list from "[Mysterious Man]" to "Yoon Soo Soo"? I'm in doubt about that since it might be a pretty big spoiler for the people who haven't watched the newest episodes yet.
