lmao real. anything but the same stupid cycle of codependency

all really valid points. thanks for that perspective 😊 it does seem he has been butting in her business all along, and not allowing her to move on. even then 4 yrs is a long time, it's as sad as it is infuriating.

and as much as I am upset with the writer, this drama page has had some of the best discussions on MDL lol.

I think they will address that more clearly eventually. even now, sanha's dad has reiterated it multiple times it was their, the parents fault, not the kid's. he has called her weak and shut her down because she knows the truth but isn't ready to accept it. yoon appa and even sanha has called her out.

and she probably hasn't lived her best life either imo. she replaced the daughter but hasn't moved on a day from her daughter's death. i think that's a sad enough punishment, but we will get more atonement hopefully.

kim hye eun, the actress, actually commented on her ig post how even she is annoyed when her character comes on screen 😂

i also love sanha & haejun's bond so so much. they are teenagers with all of their teenage hot blood and occasional brooding and they are so realistically portrayed. but they aren't afraid to show their affection and defend and protect eachother. they do feel like real siblings and I love when tenderness is portrayed in boys/men's relationships because often in popular media it's quite the opposite.

also loved the innocence in haejun's line today "i didn't understand it before. how can i understand when i didn't know?"

it says a lot, often hurtful words come from a place of ignorance and lack of clarity, not apathy. a good advice or a snippet of life lesson is only realised when we are in the face of it. how else do you really understand something (a toxic family in haejun's case) when you have never seen one before?

and like what even is the point of complaining? their favorite drama hasn't gone extinct when the kdrama dropped lol. ppl can always rewatch if they love it so much. they are two different entities existing in completely different spaces.

fr like the audacity??? I'm stunned like she really went that far!

haha idk about light but it does have its comedic moments. but the family moments are so good it feels therapeutic to cry with them tbh

this drama really is cathartic for me. it makes me cry so much, but i feel so attached to these characters that it feels good to cry. comforting even. it's the kind of tears that comes from love and care yk?

less than 30 mins from now afaik. both eps finish airing after 11 pm KST so around 11.30 PM KST ig

excited for ep 5-6 today lessgo

pls mark as spoiler 🥺

no both of them needs to heal. that exactly is the reason why a relationship and getting back together without any change in their dynamics is unhealthy. i wish they showed personal growth for both characters first

maybe a different perspective. i don't hate the ml like half the comment section do, neither have I ever rooted for the 2ml. because clearly his attachment to hyeri wasn't healthy either. just like eun ho to hyunoh. it was plain weird.

but do any of you think there's a bit of guilt tripping done too? guilt tripping the ML that is. why is he shown responsible for her health issues (not solely ofcourse) they had been broken up for 4 years, that's a long time. he broke up cuz he didn't want marriage or to thrust her into a life he considers excruciating. totally valid. now when we are exploring her troubles, it feels like the writing is pointing it back towards him. he was her sole reason of happiness, single point of stability. his absence was her final straw. same with ji on's conversation. isn't it unfair on him when for 4 years he didn't take an initiative to get back together for a reason but the trigger for him is the knowledge of her sickness, and how she loved him and didn't let him go even at the lowest point in her life. is that reciprocating love? or is it guilt? doesn't he deserve better too?

lol i gotta say this drama is a great conversation stirrer!

haha i can see that point of view. this kind of emotional dependency is all too realistic, and dare I say many of us have been there at one point in life. i guess that makes it more frustrating, like surely the character can do better than us lol.

viki

the drama is all of that absolutely, i wanted, hoped it would be all of that too. because it seemed promising, the direction and cinematography is out of this world. it still is complex, it still is layered, is beautifully enacted. but how is the message that a woman needs this co dependent emotional relationship with a man that's a direct result of her mental trauma a good thing? why have a female lead centered story that portrays mental health issues, a complex one at that, tada sorry no all she needed was the ml excuse me? especially when nothing has changed in their relationship.

i stuck around hoping this wasn't your usual kdrama and it plans to take a differing path. I'll stick around for the last two too, i don't think the writer plans to redeem anything tho.

note: this rant isn't directed at you if it comes off as too strong lol. I'm frustrated to say the least.

wow the writer really did make it seem like a break up is the gravest mistake in life lol. it's the end, finish line. ultimate stop. like the audacity? let the woman be stuck in the very same square she started from? how does it feel like to evolve backwards @writernim?

lmao not 3 men meeting up at her door

to kang juyeon as well - you came to me as I am. - is a beautiful line. but yeah clearly what these two people need isn't a relationship. it's healing. none of these emotional dependency and whiplash writernim hello!
