The final round was a letdown with how they had the queen bee undergo a 1v1 match where they pulled some rope heavily favoured in the wrestler girl favour. They should have allowed the male to participate in it to at least give a chance to the dancer team but they pretty much hand the win to the wrestler. Not having multiple rounds in that pulling rope game and making it just one round, it was already a predictable win which for an ending, is unfortunate. They could also have made the puzzles more challenging to further add some strategic thinking.
Second final round with the obstacle course is also just purely a physical aspect with little to no strategic thinking. Male bee 12 wasn't even needed in the end for his strategies and was reduced to a physical contestant role in the end (which male bee 4 could easily fulfill). I think the producer wanted the show to end and may have felt the fatigue at the end, which is why the game felt less impressive at the end and doesn't feel like a proper victory at all.
Overall, the game concept was interesting from the start with the queen bee and male bee fulfiling their roles but could have been executed better if they came up with games that's more aligning with the theme and requires more thinking which would give chances to the queen bee that isn't a national athlete.
It was a bittersweet "movie/kdrama with 2 ep" that has the right amount of feels and questions that is best left unanswered because they answered all the questions that needs answer. I agree with the previous comment on having a dad perspective since he was pretty much neglected, but I do understand 2 hr 30 min total runtime isn't enough to cover anything in significant detail. Cast acted well and ending was good. If only this kdrama had the original 8 episodes, it would flesh out the story more and explore further other possibilities such as the loveline. But since it got chosen for this TVN Opening thingy, it had to be rewritten to 2 eps.
we dont really get the reasob why Nara took suicide? I wonder, she probably exhausted of being sick?.
Based on the story, it seemed to be depression and helplessness on the fact that she has sun allergies which caused her to stay indoors and feeling as if she was a burden to the family. Every time she stays indoor, her whole family have to stay indoor as well to prevent any sun exposure and thus, her mom being sick with her made her feel even more depressed. She envies her brother and truly love them. But, she also didn't want to be a burdened for them during and after she passed. Depression is really something that changes how your mind perceives things even if you surround yourself with good people.
Question:> Why couldn’t GJ jump out of the window with DH at the school?Still loved this show! I would have…
I assume with how small the window is and the space of the corridor (with fire included), he will need to run and built enough momentum to throw both her and him off the window and to the inflatable bags. That's if he can even fit through the window with his tall build.
While I am not an expert on inflatable safety bags, I was wondering if it could even catch multiple people landing on it at the same time but could not find my information online about it. I did find a comment about this which I think is reasonable and is relevant to this question.
"The effectiveness of safety cushions used by firemen to catch jumpers depends on various factors such as the type of cushion, the height of the fall, and the angle and position of the jumper when they land. In general, safety cushions are designed to be effective at relatively low to moderate heights where the impact can be absorbed safely.
There is no specific height at which safety cushions cease to be effective, as it can vary depending on the specific circumstances. However, at very great heights, the impact force generated by the fall may exceed the cushion's capacity to absorb it, leading to serious injuries or even fatalities despite the cushion being in place."
Considering this, if there are two people, the angle of fall will either be GJ crushing DH on the cushion, or it will be both sideways which will provide the least surface area to their fall. It's too big of a risk to take. Also, the fact that he has to pull her up the window ledge before dropping her, I think if he tries to jump out of the window with her, what if her legs get caught at the bottom portion of the window or something kekeke.
Overall, I had the same question when I first saw the scene but after thinking about it, there are many things that stack against him in that scenario. A better solution would have been for her to be dropped quickly so that once she landed, she will be pulled away by the firefighters so that he can then jump out to land on the cushion. But with the amount of time left before the explosion, not much he can do from there.
This was a great drama for me that I recommend people give it a try if they are looking for a Slowburn romance, yet meaningful kdrama that depicts a beautiful story of two individuals falling in love despite the struggles and hardship faced by their own personal self and prejudice of others around them. I rate it 9/10 because I grew to appreciate the director's vision of this Kdrama where he showcases disability and romance in a new light that I do not see often in shows. The execution of some scenes was really magical and the way the text is written on the screen. Moments of solitude with facial expressions and silent dialogue. I think the ending went well too and is focused more on a hopeful message instead.
Do give it a try if you are looking for something peaceful and doesn't mind a little less action and slower pacing for the kdrama.
After watching the two episode, I have a feeling it was inspired by the real-life story between the Samsung heiress and her "bodyguard" marriage because of the fact that there were so many similarities. The YouTube video by Stephanie Soo best describe the real-life story in almost like a drama fashion so for me to see a drama that has so many elements of that, I am intrigue and interested to know how they will take it from here.
The part about taking an MBA overseas, the marriage of the century (which I know was inspired from Hyun Bin and Ye Jin wedding), the husband would constantly got gossiped upon for marrying her for her money. Everything clicks. Chemistry is there too. Hopefully a satisfying ending will be present in the end. Ji Won really pretty in those suits.
If I were her, instead of wasting time matching up her ex and that girl, she should've learned about stock investments,…
I think you are missing the part where she said that "It is bound to happen even if you try to avoid it" which means that it is fated. The only way to stop it from actually happening is to have another person steal the "fate" away which is why she has to waste time trying to match her ex with that girl to prevent herself from getting married again with the same ex. Evident from the scar which got transferred to the handsome CEO guy instead of her. She will still try to be rich with her knowledge.
hmmmmm, not enough romance happening in ep 10 which is a bummer considering that this should be the turning point episode. Atleast the past lives are resolved somewhat but not much development happening between the leads.
I have a doubt. Since Ha Yi Chan was not born deaf and had developed the ability to speak before he lost his hearing…
I also like this comment I saw regarding why he don't keep speaking in his adult years: People who lose their hearing often stop talking because they can't hear themselves and it's way too painful to communicate in that way when they can't hear the answers back. Their pitch change and the volume of their voice is often more quiet or they kinda yell because of the same reason: they can't hear themselves.

I think he could have kept speaking because they did show that despite the sudden hearing loss, he was still speaking (which matches my quick investigation on the internet). Just that after that depression scene where he wants to fall off the building, there was a caption that say something about him giving up on his ability to speak purposefully to pursue sign language instead. Despite not being able to hear, he can express himself in other ways.
I think if a person stops practicing their speaking skills, their speaking skills will definitely degrade, and this also comes from a person that has a wife and one son that is totally deaf (which means sign language is even more important to be used with them and speaking is not required). I am sure he can still speak but it will be more like deaf speech which will be hard for people to understand since he doesn't practice it much. Probably could have lost it in his adult years.
Whilst Yi Chan can't hear anymore even in this new future, he became his own hero and surviving his adversity (protecting his future son but also having everything he wants in life). A good life that he wished for. It is sad that he still have to suffer through that but considering their state of living in the old 2023, everything is going right now and it turned into a happy ending.
In a way, for every action, there is an effect. He was able to make chungah and eunyu happy but he can't be the superhero that protects his dad as well.
I don't know if this is a stupid question, but Se Kyeong's biological father and Viva are the same person. Right?…
Probably because the writer wouldn't want Han Eun Gyeol to immediately recognise the face of the owner of Viva (that he knew as a child) as being Se Kyeong biological father in 1995. I think they could have went with a younger actor which would have fit better but having a different actor is essential to ensure that Eun Gyeol only found out about the Viva owner identity in 1995 later on rather than through facial appearance.
