This drama is pretty awfully executed. The switching between the past and present is quite annoying, as it occurs too quickly and too often. I rather have them spent the first part of the episode on the first couple and the second part on the second couple. Also the writer likes to talk around the main topic. For the first few episodes you are watching the actors acting the lights out, but you do not know what really happened between them in the past. So you cannot really immerse yourself into the story. It is like listening to inside stories between a group of friends as an outsider. You understand the majority of the story, but you miss the nuances as you were not there. In my opinion, the acting talent of the cast is definitely wasted. No offence, but TVN's production quality has dropped massively throughout the years. The only emotional connection you nowadays feel with the majority of TVN shows is via fake suspense created by cheesy k-drama tropes (suffering woman, non-approving powerful dad, evil MIL, lost love, rich vs poor etc.). It feels plastic-y. This story has all of these tropes, and even more...

The ending sequence of episode 16 is brilliantly done with the lettering. The episodes always start or end with a scene from the show covering all the letters. But in episode 16, only the light in the window turned on and the rest of the lettering stays pitch black. This means that SW stopped giving a rat's ass about the outside environment and all its drama. She only cares about providing JY with a safe and warm home. For me that title sequence is also the confirmation that he actually returned home and that it is not her hallucination.

I don't know, but if you go through all the emotional pain that JY as a thirteen-year old kid went through, then running away is a mellow reaction. Witnessing a suicide attempt from your dad, is just too much. He must thought to himself: enough is enough. Also the apple does not fall far from the tree. His dad had exactly the same reaction when SW tried to commit suicide and was comforted by Dr. Kim
