It is a gripping watch. The kdramas tropes are there, but the plot is very strong. The acting is top-notch as well. Music score complements the scenes. I'd say you should watch it.
Guys, the real happy ending would be Seo Jin and Da Bin spending a quality father-daughter day together where they go to a park, play chase, have spicy rice cakes from a stall, and visit, with the three musketeers in tow, jin ho's daughter.
Returning to this after months with only a faint recollection of the plot, I jumped into the episode I left off.…
All in all, the show tried too hard to be something but goes nowhere. I love slowburn romance, and healing themes, but this was very confusing from the get-go, where characters are feel and react differently to happenings than people in reality. I liked it initially but it is amazing how it made itself worse as it progressed. I found it pretentious. And Chae Soo Bin is too... she doesn't have a screen presence. At least not here.
Returning to this after months with only a faint recollection of the plot, I jumped into the episode I left off. It makes sense why the ratings were low. The show tries to have an air of silence about it, to not speak clearly about what's happening, and hopes the music, cinematography, and setting can make up for the vague dialogue. But that's where it does itself wrong. There's more to show, don't tell method. At least give a good direction
I am so pissed and I feel like rambling: I will not stand for anyone forgetting the manipulative, almost abusive behavior HC had throughout the marriage. So what if she is crying now? She had been a manipulative, downright cruel person who had not once but twice tried to commit murder, used her husband's weak mental health against him, and threw his weaknesses at him in arguments to keep him tied to her. She could have made the better choice, but she consistently shirked each chance to redeem herself. Now she is in shock and facing exactly what she forced Seo Jin to face, and she had it coming.
Hyun Chae and Do Kyun do not deserve sympathy. not after the horrible, horrible decisions they made and lives they ruined. They cannot excuse all that crap with just one happening.
"Stop acting like a victim" - yes, Seo Jin, speak your truth!
The fact that he, after going through all the shit he has gone through, still has composure, still chose to warn Seo Do Kyun despite being his victim - this is what makes him better out of the two. Do Kyun hates Seo Jin for having what he wants, finds him pompous, but he never acted like he deserved all that in the first place. He acts like a victim all the damn time, and it is pathetic.
I have never, NEVER, seen a man as big of a simp, as big of a brainless, stupid PUPPET as Seo Do Kyun. He gets on my. Every. Last. Nerve. The most useless character - just causes a mess of everything.
I don't know if it's just me that's seeing more or my eyes are getting crooked but I've noticed every time the…
I feel it is intentional. Because they have been using this since the beginning when they zoom in on someone. Many people find it nauseous - for a lack of a better term - when that happens, and they're getting the desired reaction.
Did they have to make the female lead incompetent? She's a nice character overall, but it is disappointing how they made her to be in episode 16. I mean, you cannot possibly get hired for a job without graduating college, and you have to know how to use computers if you went through it.
