Redeemed?? For what?

Has he broken the law? Has he libeled or slandered anyone? Has he commited fraud? Has he embezzled from the company? Has he been cruel or vicious? (well, yes - he was cruel to Su-kyung). Violent? Threatened anyone?

Ooopps - no, some of those things describe Tae Ho. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Grandma is trying to clean up the mess by taking care of TM's mother on her own and not trying to force TM to go against his own parents. Unfortunately - unless the writers change course on this - she wants to bury what happened at Daegwallyeong Pass and Grandson No. 2 intends to open up everything. Too bad these two didn't discuss that during their little reunion.

I was shocked to find out it was the same actress as Oh! Youngsim. Which means - she's a pretty good actress. 😄

The ages are fairly consistent plus/minus a year here and there.

The biggest error has been the ever-changing date of the accident. Originally it was 2020 ("three years" ago) and then 2019. Last time it was mentioned, date had become 2018. 🙁🙁

I'm glad HS slapped her back but for the life of me I do not understand why that scene was included - it added nothing to the overall plot.

It was a funny joke precisely because Grandmama doesn't want them fighting - that's why she decided to return from the grave ("protect the children").

He's not going to "course correct" as long as Tae Ho is on a rampage - a rampage against the wrong target.

I am assuming that since the writer TWICE - and recently - noted (so not a casual mistake) that Grandmama suppressed the investigation of the accident, that there are more surprises to emerge.

I liked the ones from last week w/Go Joo Won where he said "Grandma, we're fighting"

Actually, the two characters I mentioned are lower tier characters, the change in their story arc is recent, but I won't spoil it.

As for the 2 moms (fondly called Dragon Mom (TM) and Gremlin Mom (HS), there would be no drama if not for their antics so I'm good with them and FF through HS' mom a lot.

Yes, my prior weekender was TRHC. I swore I would never watch another one and then. . .saw that Ha Jun was one of the main roles in LYOL, so gave it a try. I'm not a fan of his character, but he's a great actor.

The counter is for the time it airs on tvN in Korea. Usually, international release (streaming/OTT) is a few hours later. But thanks for reminding me about the counter - I'll assume release on Prime is 1-2 hours later.

Dropped "weather" after the first 2 episodes😄😄. But as others noted, "Healer" is also a fave although not well known to new kdrama viewers.

It's been awhile since I watched a current drama on Prime. Does anyone know what time (KST - Korean Standard Time) it is released on Prime? Thanks in advance.

Also "Her Private Life", "Love in Contract" and something-weather-something lol.

My impression: 1st half (up until ep. 25 or so), overall family and specific character stories were moving - but slowly. As of Ep. 25, stories began to coalesce - and then sprang forward into new and interesting connections and plot twists. And as of Ep. 35 (Sunday), the plot twists and pivotal events continue for many of the characters and story arcs.

This is only my 2nd weekender, but the prior one went in circles - over and over again, the same conversations, the same angst, very few meaningful (as opposed to unnecessary) plot twists.

This one is definitely NOT circular, continually provides "new" history/background to move all the various stories forward.

Don't know if that helps. I'm very unhappy with a couple of the character actions, but other characters and events are fun and intriguing. Probably a sign of a well-written weekender.

Episode 35 (Sunday) hits highest ratings ever: 21.4%

From the beginning, Hyo Shim has had major daddy issues stemming from his abandonment of the entire family. The brothers tried to be the father figure to each other, but she had to play both roles for her mother, as well as the bread-winner.

Nam Kyung Eup (the actor who will portray her father) just completed his current project (the daily "Elegant Empire"). I don't know how far in advance the daily dramas film their episodes, but LYOL is about 2 weeks ahead.

I'm glad writer isn't writing a Cinderella-saved-by-the-prince (white knight, whatever) story.

Well, perhaps I am pre-disposed to think this way and perhaps "plead" is a better word, but the written preview is interesting. However, the written preview doesn't begin to match the teaser video, so who knows.

And why should she be pissed at TM??? Does she think that TM did something wrong? Does she think that TM should automatically come to the rescue of his cousin who has declared war? Pfffftttt.

Meanwhile, I'm thrilled that Tae Hee finally connects with her big brother. :-)

Ahhh. . . I learned something new. I thought Kocowa was only available in the Americas? Or, perhaps it's just Kocowa+??

I did a free trial of Kocowa last summer - primarily because it has many old dramas from the pre-streaming days. Then discovered it also has current dramas from the three broadcast stations. So, I've kept the subscription - trying to decide if I keep Viki as well. 🥰

haha, haven't read the manwha, but her love of food was too obvious to not point in that direction.

In order to watch Kocowa, you would still need to subscribe with a payment method. Viki is usually 12 hours later than Kocowa.
