No they already said that the girl's father lives in the Philippines
That is what the friend made up so people wouldn’t talk about her being a single mom. I don’t believe he is the dad - he was boarding there at the restaurant her mom was running when she was still in school. Her sister dropped Hae-e off and left - it’s not mentioned who her father is. I wouldn’t be surprised if her dad is someone influential. Pretty sure her mom will show up again.
I see drama cool just dropped the rest of this drama - all 45 episodes are there yet Viki can’t get the rights from episode 30 +. I watched up to episode 23 in Viki and found out about that and was super annoyed. It’s really a shame that people invested watching over half the drama and couldn’t finish it.
From Wikipedia: “The film will premiere on December 30, 2022, in Vietnam, on January 5, 2023, in South Korea, and Thailand on January 12, the Philippines on January 18, and Mongolia on January 19, 2023, In the United States, international distributor "Well Go USA" has acquired North American rights to the film.”
There are so many young actors in China so why they get a 30 years old one to portray a college student
I wondered why, when they first advertised this about a year ago, they picked Derek Chang as the ML. I didn’t think he suited the role at all. Have you noticed the FL is even mimicking the Korean FL’s facial expressions too?
