I like both and really can’t label either one as ML. I will consider them co-ML. This might be the fitrsy time for me doing that. I usually have a clear preference. I assume Tae Seop is considered ML and will eventually be the chosen BF though.
Who else noticed the scene in epi 12where dong ik was eating those macros and started speaking Chinese it remembered…
I know! I’m sure that was a nod to those crazy exaggerated eating scenes. I can’t get that character out of my head every time i see him. I was going to make the same comment. I’m glad you did!
without reading everyone else’s comments in detail, I see a lot of haters. For me this has been a cute drama with a heavy focus on family and what being in a family means. The baby is adorable and I agree without him would not be nearly as enjoyable. The romance was ok. SML was actually quite likable even though he wore way too much makeup. I get how many feel about the FL. Having seen a few of her other dramas, she doesn’t have much range but she is good enough for this role. I like the ML a lot and felt his range of emotions. I love a happy ending which this certainly will provide. Also a shout out to the neighbor grandma who is such an outstanding actress. Her role in Squid Game was played fantastically. Side characters were good enough. At 12 episodes this was a nice watch for me.
In this drama she looks and acts so much like the Korean actress Park Shin Hye who is a favorite of mine. I really like this actress. I first saw her in Begin Again and she was wonderful in that role as well.
A very enjoyable watch with a very satisfying and complete ending for all. FL was perfect for the role playing both a tough, strong and comedic role. I thought the character growth for all the main and secondary characters was well developed and excellent. One of the best I’ve seen. I will miss this one. The last episode was great.
I’m getting the sense that TaeSeop isn’t really over his last relationship and is just looking for a wife. He never looked at her with true interest or a spark. Maybe that’s just the character he’s portraying but if he really felt something he would have contacted her a lot sooner. JiSo definitely gave the impression that he had some initial feelings of wanting to see her again. After 2 episodes I’m team JiSo although I’m sure that can change over the course of the next 10 episodes. Also I can’t stop thinking about the horrible character he played in Queen of Tears. He’s so different here!
I can’t help but notice the similarities with another recent weekend drama, For Eagle Brothers which also had an ill fated relationship with another family. It’s also funny because the uncle in this one was also one of the brothers in FEB. I wonder how long these two families will keep up their feud or if they will ever reconcile. I really can’t see the path to reconciliation though. With 40 episodes to go I’m sure there’s a lot more drama between them to come.
Everybody who has watched like 5 kdramas already saw dad being bad miles away so it really isn't that shocking…
I do get your point. However, the ML suffers from the trauma he experienced as a child. He was abandoned and never felt the acceptance and love that a child should get. His brother thought he was protecting him and when he finally appeared in his life it was too late. FL had the support of a wonderful sister and brother in law but has her own insecurities. I actually like the SML and feel he is truly sincere in his intentions. He is even very supportive of her raising her adorable nephew. I think either man would be a good choice depending on her preference. I do lean a bit more towards ML since he is the biological uncle and this is the first time he has had a sense of family. Perhaps this is why he has fallen for her. The SML seems more emotionally mature unless there is a back story yet to be revealed. I’m really torn on this one where it’s usually a no brainier as to who the FL should end up with. Sorry for rambling on but this one has me stumped.
This show came up on my feed so i thought I’d read the reviews. i am definitely skipping this one. It seems to be a unanimous opinion to stay away. I appreciate all the people who took the time to explain why to avoid this one.
