Dy Victor

Doyoung only appears through flashbacks; there aren’t many scenes of him speaking or showing his personality. So expecting major differences or deep development isn’t very realistic.

Apparently, the series didn’t want to focus on that, but rather on the healing and redemption of those who were left behind after Doyoung’s death, Hakyung’s mother’s death, and her father’s abandonment.

The other elements are merely catalysts to help us understand Doha and Hakyung.

I don’t think this is a drama to watch in a rush, expecting quick results. The story is told little by little, delicately revealing each character’s perspective and what led them to make certain decisions.

I may be wrong, but my impression is that the “new romantic interests” will serve to push the characters toward reflection and growth. If you pay attention, Doha’s friend asked Hakyung a very direct question and revealed new nuances about Doha.

As for the lawyer, he will likely make Doha think of new strategies to win Hakyung over and get closer to her again. It may not be everyone’s favorite plot device, but if it’s well developed, it can work.

I may be mistaken, of course, but that was the feeling I got from watching the five episodes. Doha’s friend, for example, pushed Hakyung to a deeper level of reflection…

It was interesting to notice that Doha seems to have talked about Hakyung all the time to his American friend. Yet he never talked about that friend to Hakyung… This shows that even while they were apart, Doha’s mind was always on Hakyung — she was his main subject — while the other woman was never truly part of the picture.

Hakyung is so immersed in her own pain that she didn’t even notice this.

But what I like most about these two secondary characters is that they weren’t created to be villains. The protagonists don’t need to stop choosing them because they’re bad people, but because their true love lies elsewhere. I really like this premise, and I hope they keep it.

This drama really isn’t for everyone, and I understand why some people might struggle to grasp it. Things are revealed slowly, and you need to savor it patiently.

Today’s episode felt like poetry — the nuances hidden between the lines… I loved it.

The story wasn’t made to be linear, so it will cause a certain level of confusion — and maybe even discomfort. The events are presented and justified little by little. If you’re impatient or want quick and straightforward answers, this drama won’t give them to you. Other than that, so far there are no villains or morally unacceptable characters. On the contrary, the characters have both strengths and flaws — in a way, they all make mistakes.

Sometimes you’ll find yourself on Hakyung’s side, and other times you’ll want to support Doha… I think that’s interesting; it shows that not everything needs to be black and white.

It was a satisfying episode. In the end, I was finally able to connect more with Hakyung’s feelings. It’s perfectly understandable to become extremely defensive and distrustful when everyone you love eventually leaves and abandons you in a house full of memories. She was actually stronger than expected. Leaving that house seems completely reasonable now.

I agree with you. Doha is still a mystery. We know he likes her and wants what’s best for her, but there are still hidden nuances… The new secret that was introduced made my hair stand on end.

Their other romantic interests seem to exist so that Hakyung and Doha can reconnect with their own feelings. I like the idea that they aren’t villains and are, apparently, interesting people — it feels healthy and refreshing.

I was excited about today’s chapter. I hope tomorrow keeps the same pace.

😂😂😂😂

Episode 4 will clarify most of the reasons behind her anger and pain toward the male lead.
Give it a chance, at least to understand the causes of her hostile attitude. I think after that, you’ll be able to decide more clearly whether it’s worth continuing or not.

It was intentional on the part of the script and direction that we couldn’t tell them apart. Until the end of episode 2, the other twin hadn’t even appeared yet. It was part of the plot that we didn’t know who she confessed to, who she kissed, who she liked…
You may not like the format of the story or the script, but don’t blame the actor for doing what he was asked to do.
The twins’ flashbacks are very quick and subtle, so it’s hard to notice the nuances of their personalities and tell them apart. In the few scenes we’ve seen, you can tell that Doyoung is calm, speaks more slowly, doesn’t tease Hakyung, and is more passionate about astronomy…
Doha is more lively, constantly teases and argues with Hakyung, optimistic and brave…

They decided to take a rather risky approach in the initial setup of the story. This style of storytelling doesn’t quite fit the romance genre — it would be more suitable for a thriller. In a romance, however, it’s an unnecessary risk.

In romantic stories, the main premise is that the audience needs to connect with the main couple as quickly as possible and root for their relationship. This format, however, made viewers spend more time trying to untangle the initial confusion than understanding the characters’ personalities, traumas, and emotions.

I really like the story — it’s fascinating to see how each of them deals with pain, how it impacts their lives, and how their story will be rebuilt. I hope the next episodes focus on the two of them and that the writer and director stop playing unnecessary hide-and-seek games.

Some people are questioning Doha’s decision to insist on reconnecting with Hakyung. They think he doesn’t have the right to do so, and so on.
But if people were really paying attention to the plot, all of this is explained.

First, right in episode 1, we were told that Doha always did everything Hakyung asked of him. He never refused her anything. And more than that — he always let her win. Notice that she was the one who led their relationship over the years.

When he made the choice that ultimately caused the downfall of their relationship (pretending to be his dead brother), she began to resent him and pushed him away. He accepted it — because that’s how it had always been — and now he also carries guilt for it.

For two years, he lived with that situation, even while missing the people and things he loved. But when he realized that she was suffering too — that keeping him away hadn’t healed her — he made a decision that, in my view, was the right one: he chose to face the pain and wounds of the past. To do that, he can’t let her have the last word or “win” this time. Now, he needs to prepare the ground for things to finally work out, because he’s all in — it’s do or die for him.

That’s why I find myself really rooting for him — for him to rebuild the trust and bond that were broken. And, ultimately, to reopen the door to that first love left in the past.

This is the kind of drama that can’t be watched without paying attention to the details — especially with twins as part of the plot.
Many people are confused about this part of the story, but I blame that confusion on the editing choices. A romance that was supposed to be about rebuilding a relationship didn’t need all that suspense and mystery, hiding the background of the story for three or four episodes. The choice of such an introduction was risky and may be the reason for the drop in ratings.

Yes! Episode 4 will clear everything up. Keep going.

Episode 4 was perfect. It was beautiful. Lee Jaewook and Choi SungEun are stunning in their performances.

Episode 4 was a breath of clarity, fun, and the beginning of romance.
Everyone already suspected that Doha had pretended to be his brother. But understanding the context of things makes us connect with the characters on a deeper level.
Hakyung’s sadness and anger are understandable.
Doha’s choice was wrong, but his intentions weren’t bad. With his brother missing on a mountain and his friend devastated by her mother’s illness, he thought he could pretend to be his brother until he returned—but fate was cruel, and Doyoung had died. His choice could no longer be undone. The damage was done, and it ruined their bond.
Hakyung has lost so much in life. She’s so lonely, and it feels like everyone has left her behind—forgotten in that house.
I hope Doha has to fight hard to prove he deserves her, and more than that, that it won’t just be another summer, but that he will choose to stay forever.

There’s also the fact that Do-young was missing at first. So, he still had hope that his brother would come back. But once the death was confirmed, he was already caught up in a terrible lie.

🥹 Now that I’m thinking about it, the death of one of the twins must be something deeply painful — both for those around them and for the twin who remains. It’s as if the memory of the other person stays constant, something that can never be forgotten or eased...

It will be complicated for the story’s progression if tomorrow’s episode doesn’t reveal the reasons behind all the pain and trauma that separate them. This premise will be the foundation for us to understand the healing and rebuilding of their relationship. In this story, it’s not about them falling in love again — that’s been clear for a long time. It’s about reestablishing their connection.
I’m hoping that tomorrow this whole puzzle will start to be revealed and make sense.

We shouldn’t give up so easily on the people we care about. For many years of friendship and companionship, he accepted all the decisions she made, believing that it was what she wanted and what would make her happy. But look how it turned out — she kept suffering...
So, I realize that he decided to change the rules of the game and take control of the situation. We still don’t know what triggered their complete separation, but whatever it was, he’s willing to face it and rebuild their story.

Choi SungEun is beautiful! But beyond that, she’s a very skilled actress. The emotional weight of her character is fully felt — to the point of being uncomfortable for the viewer. I notice that many people who watch don’t have the patience to deal with the character’s pain. We’re like that in real life — we say we feel compassion for those who suffer, but soon we distance ourselves and even start to criticize them.

I’m happy that, in the end, Doha decided to fight to restore the friendship (and perhaps the love) between them. I really want to know what happened to DoYoung and what Doha did that affected their relationship so deeply. In the meantime, I delight in the longing they both express in every encounter, even if only through their eyes. Or I feel thrilled by Doha’s determination — someone who for years quietly accepted all of Hakyung’s wishes, but has now decided to take control of his own story and help them both.

This story wants to give us a romance of healing and rebuilding — and for that, time and patience are needed. But we don’t live in a generation that allows itself such things. We live in a liquid generation, where everything dissolves quickly.

I hope Doha and Hakyung go against the current and build something solid, with strong foundations. And I believe it will be up to Doha to be the architect of it — until Hakyung is able to heal.
