They grew up together - both with rich parents until Je-yeon's family went bankrupt. I bet he was instrumental in getting his mother to hire Je Yeon when she dropped out of college

I don't know why she dislikes him so much - he wasn't a bully in highschool. I keep wondering if we are still missing some scenes that would explain it.

All the promos/teasers/PR for this drama show that Seok-ju and Tae-rin are destined for each other. 😊

Are you talking about MDL or Nielsen? MDL might be due to some hatred towards the ML actor. But Nielsen is disappointing. (down from last weekend).

75% of the drama is focused on the main couple. I'm not a fan of that plot (high school first love/separation/reunion 15 years later) but if you like that type of romance, this is the one for you and you should try it.

Meanwhile, I ❤️😊❤️the 2nd couple (NEW story and opposites attract) and watch for them. If that's your genre, I think it will be great ending. [But. . . I could be wrong. 😊)

According to the character bio, Tae-rin had a crush on Seok-ju (or his voice) in highschool, but she never told anyone - she has kept it a secret from everyone (even the FL) all these years.

Yesterday,, both episodes were available on Viki about 1 hour after Ep. 4 ended in Korea. [I was watching on phone while sitting in hospital waiting room so I'm not sure if Ep. 3 was released earlier than 4].

Noone will die, but to me the tea leaves are saying that Tae-rin will be in danger and Seok-ju (the one who has been silently rescuing people for years) will save her.

I am over-analyzing the 2nd couple - as in, why are they even a "couple". Seok-ju could have been the classic 2ML with a crush on the FL. Tae-rin could have simply been the plot device to reunite the main couple.

Not that I'm complaining, because I like them far more than the main couple. Anyway, it struck me that it is going to be Mo Tae-rin who would be in danger - she's adrift, seeking "adventure", nominally depressed about her career and that deep dive tank is just waiting to put a kdrama character in peril.

She won't die - Seok-ju will talk to her and bring her out of the coma or whatever. That's my story and I will stick with it until the next episodes prove me wrong. 😊

The children have left and gone home. 😊

Sunwoo Hae is 1 year older than Je-yeon and Seok/ju. Tae-run is 1 or 2 yrs younger than them. Side note: Seo Jo hoon was only 27 when this was filmed. 😊The other are on their 30s (or older for sjk???)

I posted earlier about the fact that Seok-ju has the same last name as his mother. That means his father was not identified on his birth certificate. So….. father unknown. Plus, last week everyone wondered why this wealthy successful woman would marry a bum like the dad. It’s the perfect set-up for a kdrama.

Im sitting in a hospital today (family member-surgery-all is well) but couldn’t wait to see my fave Seo Jo Hoon so watched on my phone. I’m more convinced than ever that Seok Ju and Hae are half brothers. I think That’s going to be the major crisis in this drama that impacts everyone (except Seok-ju already figured it out at some point.). Maybe Hae will finally learn to live “grudge-free”.

[Have the children left the room? Hope so.]

Trivia and Tidbits - mostly about my favorite character Kim Seok Ju.

Item 1. During the press conference w/the director and four leads, the main couple was introduced as a "wistful past love" while Kim Seok Ju and Mo Tae Rin have a "spicy first love chemistry." [Yay for Team Seok Ju!]. The two will "gradually change from opposing chemistry" and they did a lot of back-to-back camera shots and then gradually shifted to closer side-by-side heart hands. So cute.

Item 2. Kim Seok Ju and his mother (Kim Pil Do] share same last name and that means in kdrama land that there was no father named on the birth certificate. [If there WAS a dad on the birth certificate, the writers would not have used the same surname] According to the JTBC website, she comes from a very wealthy family so keeping the child would have been easier.

Item 3. In case you missed it, in one scene last week, Kim Seok Ju returns home and picks up two notebooks from his old room. One of them said "Color Vision Kim Seok Ju". The topic involves color blindness - so Seok Ju might be color blind. Let's ee if there are any hints in future episodes.

Hoping MDL returns to discussion of the drama tomorrow!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, but that's because I like crazy-good-guys take on the evil-bad-guys caper kind of drama.

The answer is also on the JTBC web site, but it's a bit of major spoiler although Sunwoo Hae made a vague reference to it in . Anyway, she apparently died at some point.

According to the JTBC website, they met decades ago in a rural village where he lived and she was visiting. She fell in love with him, but by the time she visited again, he was married with a son about to be born. [AI translation can be tricky but I think this is correct interpretation].

Not enough Lee Joo Myung OR Seo Ji Hoon in either episode. I'm hoping that since they have provided at least 75% of the back story for the main couple, that this weekend will provide much more for the 2nd couple. We know that Tae Rin's first love was Seok Ju, but we have ZERO idea if Seok Ju had any feelings for Tae Rin or . . maybe Je yeon (GAWD, I hope not).

Confidence Man JP

She was very thin in "Love in Contract" - and then lost even more for the earliest scenes in Marry My Husband. She eventually gained weight for Marry My Husband scenes when she did not have cancer - still very thin.

Epilogue in KR version is totally new (at least for the 1st 2 episodes).

I watched the first handful of episodes from the Japan original, but couldn't stand the actress. PMY's portrayal has a bit more sweetness, dare I say "innocence" than JP version.

I'm looking forward to whatever episode Oh Na-ra is in - she also plays a baddie.

I think she's great. 😊

I really like Park Min Young and I like her in this role. However, having said that, if I didn't like the drama/plot, I wouldn't watch. (I gave up on Forecasting Weather and her other melodrama). Fortunately, writing/directing is good and looks like there will be a villain of the week. I really enjoyed it. Plus Oh Na-ra will play a villain in an upcoming episode. 😊
