What did it mean: can anyone explainWhen seung hyo had this flashback of his mom leaving home in a car with her…
This is their story:
Mom and Dad (both very hard-working/ambitious) got married right before Mom was assigned to the Korean consulate/embassy in Paris. 3 months after she got there, she found out she was pregnant. Seung-hyo was born in Paris and lived with his mother for a few (3?) years. At some point, Mom brought him back to Korea to be raised by Dad. Dad loves his son very much (this is spelled out on the tvN site) but like many Korean's, believes it is a sign of weakness to show too much emotion. He apparently traveled to Paris for summer vacation and/or she returned to Korea awaiting her next diplomatic assignment (Tunisia was mentioned).
In that scene, Mom was returning to Paris and leaving him behind and that's why he was crying.
As for an "affair", after the Lavender Gals had their latest get-together, Mom is now worried that Dad is the one having an affair! 🤣🤣🤣
An entire year for. . . a miscarriage? Medically, it makes no sense so then it could only mean some sort of psychological need to take a leave.
Chris implied it was something "negative" but perhaps it was for a positive reason, like the company sent her to University for a Masters degree? Or, as in many US tech companies, she had earned a sabbatical after 5 years. Perhaps she was in a very bad accident (not my favorite because it means she never told her family).
I have predictions about how certain stories will develop, but no theories about that one year sabbatical.
Why doesn't the FL start a YouTube (or equivalent) channel with her cooking videos? She could be raking in the…
Check back in Episode 11 or 12, lol.
1. Getting her chef certificate will give her more cred than being an amateur. 2. Her dream isn't to "rake in the ad revenue", it's to follow Seung'-hyo's example: do to what she loves in a way that she will be able to support herself.
Of course, as I said - toward the end of the drama she will definitely embark on some sort of plan that will be fabulously successful. And then there will be some sort of crisis (business? medical?. Family/neighborhood join together and save the day.
He thinks she is still in love with her former fiancée. He's tried to be a good friend, but supporting her as…
Which is one reason why the ex MUST appear sooner or later. He will be the catalyst for unraveling the messy tapestry of their (SK and SR) relationship.
Noone knows that the ex cheated on Seok-ryu, so it's perfectly reasonable for Seung-hyo to believe she still loves the ex. We, the viewer, know differently so that's why we, the viewer, believe that the scene with the wedding dress on the i-phone is misleading.
BROOOOO WTF WAS THE ENDING TO EPISODE 6 ?! why is seung hyo so confusing 😭 he likes her but he’s so rude.…
He thinks she is still in love with her former fiancée. He's tried to be a good friend, but supporting her as she continues to love someone else is a bridge too far for him. That's how I interpret it - perhaps because that's how I would feel in a similar situation.
I like the actress but I don't think the character will last very long...
I thought she would only be on for one episode, two at most - sort of a catalyst for Seok-ryu to get jealous and Which worked for the plot this weekend. But now? was her friendliness towards Seok-ryu a sham? If she's still carrying a torch for Seong-hyo, she won't be exiting quickly. 😟
I'm calling it now, the guy she was supposed to marry is gonna show up all of a sudden in a later episode and…
Hah, very perceptive and join the crowd. He's Korean, he's an "international lawyer" - yeah, he's going to show up as part of the Grape/Griep contract and OF COURSE, at the precise moment that Seung-kyo is about to confess/make his move with Seok-ryu. Can Not. Wait. This is why I love kdramas.
I love slow burn too ! I like that they're showing us little scraps of them going through their feelings. I think…
Writer-nim has been slowly peeling back the layers of what happened 15(highschool) - 10(college) - 5 (Seok-ryu's 1 year sabbatical) years ago. Much more to be revealed. I enjoy it as well. 😊
Episode 6 title is: "Your First". Mild spoiler/preview below.
Ahhhhh - I thought the title/end revisions were actual/close translations. And. . . as I visit the tvn site w/Korean text, it doesn't show the Korean Hangul (고백) at the beginning of the drama but rather the English words "Go Back". For all other episodes, the titles are presented in Hangul.
Another strange piece of trivia. 그레이프 is phonetic sound of the word "Grape" and translated as such in news articles, but for some reason, Netflix intentionally translates it as "Greip". Maybe to avoid a lawsuit with Apple??
Yeah my dreams of her secretly liking him shattered because of Brian 😭 I don't think she liked him or even…
well, we will eventually find out, but I think there is a reason (involving her feelings for Seung-hyo) that she "ran away" to the USA after only one year at Korean University. Just as ML's ex may have been a re-bound after he found out about Brian, perhaps Brian was her method of burying her feelings???
Everyone is agreeing that seok ryo might also loved /liked him back but I'm the only one who can't see it ? I…
Just because the writer isn't "showing it" in the same manner as Seung-hyo doesn't mean there aren't a handful of hints in the time-line or even the unknown known w/r/t the time capsule. Lots more to be revealed.
Okay, so am I the only one who feels like that even Seok ryu has been in love with Seoung hyu all along? Like…
I think you are right.
We still don't know why Seok-ryu left the Korean University after only 1 year - I've wondered if it is because she knew she had feeling for him but something happened to scare her away. Maybe same fear that he had - afraid to lose their friendship. Honestly, I think that's where their stories (their "black history") are headed - and Mo Eum's role as the pathfinder becomes clearer.

But. . . I COULD be wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Classic, predictable, charming.

But. . . maybe they will surprise us.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Reminds me of "Playful Kiss" - but then, that's the only "highschool" romance I have ever watched but became a forever fan of Jung So Min.

It's possible. So much we still don't know. 😍
