Because he wants her to be happy. He knows that she has always wanted a child.

Like everything in life, the success of marriage largely depends on the people in it. That's the point of the show I imagine. The problem is that most people don't put in the same kind of effort into their marriages the way they do for their careers or jobs. It's ironic that most would slave away for their employers and wouldn't even put in a fraction of the effort for their spouses or children.

Most of the legal dramas came out really in the final quarter of 2022 and I did watch a few of them. But I don't really consider $1 Lawyer a true legal drama -- it was more of a superhero origins story.

I too am a big fan of The Good Detective franchise.

Not really.

Whoever wrote this script knows something about marriage.

This is a far more interesting show than I've been led to believe. It probably helps that I actually like legal dramas. It's obvious that Eun-beom didn't cheat on Ha-ra and his antics are really quite intriguing. Humorous and fascinating. Everything he does feels deliberately counterintuitive. There are resonances of Oh Ji-hyeok from The Good Detective here.

The private tutoring gig has got to be the worst kept secret in K dramaland.

I think it's supposed to be a joke.

Meet Yourself, Trolley, The Blood of Youth

We shall see! Thanks.

My first impressions of the show... I am just a tad behind. Just a tad. :P

I think we need to stop accepting bad resolutions and rationalize away bad writing.

By all means... Gush!

There have been some great K and C dramas airing during this Dec-January period but this one is unequivocally my favourite. What the heck... I think it's the best one.

Absolutely. Makes me miss my own paternal grandmother that I grew up with.

Grandma is a hoot. Love her to death.
A'Yao is a chip off the o'l block.

This show is like an ad campaign for Yunnan. And it's working.

I love "seachange" dramas and this one is just absolutely wonderful. Lots of heart. It's got a lovely quirky small town everybody-knows-everybody vibe.
I wish C dramas did more of this type of slice-of-life shows with this type of storytelling.

Wow. They've made the Three Body Problem into drama! Cool. Have to put this on my watch list. Read the book a few years ago and found it very stimulating. I don't usually read C novels but this one was a Hugo-award winning work.

Edit: The trailers look amazing. Seems like they've covered all the main elements.
