Another Stranger

Your theories are interesting especially the Shaman's words. And yes the FLs mom is quite shady. Even when the ML was analysing the FL on the rooftop, he was about to say something about her family when she pulls him by the collar & stops him.

I think that the FLs past is not what it seems to be. Her memories may be distorted.
The black cat story too could've be the reverse, wherein her mom was the one trying to kill her dad & the dad getting saved by someone (Chae Jun?)

How does Chae Jun know about her dream of eating tangerines on a snowy day? Why did she mention that "he was not there from the beginning?" Who was the one taking their pics? And did the Shaman's words have a hidden meaning?

This drama could be much more shocking than I'd like to imagine.

I think that the fairy tales part made sense. People who are in desperate circumstances try to escape reality & find solace and hope in fiction or dreams. The FL was no exception but her attempt to find hope in wonders & fairy tales was broken by her mom.

So the FL doesn't wish for miracles in her life. She just wishes for an ordinary & uneventful life with a person to depend on or share her life with.

This take on fairy tales is completely different from IONTBO.

I think that camping tent is also a PPL. The drink the FL offers to ML after setting it up too.

I agree. Dinner mate was fine until the leads jumped into an accelerated romance. It was quite awkward & disturbed the flow, so I hope that this drama doesn't go to extreme lengths to tie the leads together.
If it's natural, I don't mind but to depend on or to help each other, they don't necessarily have to date. He's a doctor & they're mutual friends, so it's quite reasonable to lend a shoulder or count on each other when in need.

Do you have to date a person for them to be special in your life? I don't think so.

Agreed. But she still has a long way to go & she herself acknowledges that. She was pretending to type something while waiting for the so called "stalker", she actually likes his persistent chasing & searches for him or expects him to be around her & though she saw his other side (checking her phone secretly), she carried the tissue rose with her & went to open an unknown locker which could've been dangerous.

Just organizing my PTW, YouTube playlists, boomarks or photos on my phone makes me feel refreshed & light. So reorganizing the entire house is like starting a new chapter altogether. So kudos to the ones who took up the challenge & created beautiful living spaces for themselves 😊😇

This show it did an excellent job in showing that house is the reflection of a person's life - his values, interest, priorities, etc. So small changes in it can make larger differences than we imagine.

There were a few good tips for effective space utilization too. Unless you are a person who likes the slice of life vibe or you're into organizing, you may not find this show to be interesting.

Exactly. I felt the IONTBO vibe. I had high expectations from that drama but the last few eps let me down & I dropped it.

This one seems solid for some reason, so I'm excited 😇

This drama is quite realistic. A woman may sacrifice her dreams & family for a man, as he seems like 'the one' but more often than not, it turns out that he's not.

After the initial butterflies phase, it depends on the extent of flaws on each side. If there are too many, it doesn't end well (like FLs dad).

The FL is too habituated to tolerate nonsensical behavior. But she's desperate to overcome this, so instead of running away, she tries her best to change herself. That may be rewarding as a hotelier but it doesn't work in personal life. If you change yourself for every person you date, you lose yourself. Accepting each other for what they are is the foundation of a strong relationship.

Btw, I'm actually quite curious about her dad. How did he react when he realized that they ran away from him? Is he the ???

I knew that I could find your comment here 😂

I loved the rooftop analysis session. The cinematography especially the camera angles are splendid. The narrow screen at the start makes us feel like we are 'peeping' into someone's hidden memories. The color palate is worth appreciating too.

The acting is spot on & the narration voice was just wow. I love plots with a mix of rom-com & thriller vibes. This one has the healing & psychology themes too, so it's a MUST WATCH for me. And it's Seo Hyun Jin's drama, a cherry on top 🍒

The OST and BGM are great. The setting reminds me of 'Dinner Mate' but I have a feeling that this one's gonna be much better.

I wish for season 2 *제발* It was very original, refreshing, heart warming and hilarious. I love the PO × MINHO & Eun Ji Won × Kyuhyun duos. Especially the antics & bickering of the latter 😂

It's one of the most well organized articles that I've come across. I scrolled it up & down with sheer joy, as it is too pretty. Loved the recommendations & the the crisp info. I can't imagine how much work you'd have put in. Kudos ^^

I loved this show. Mino & PO's totally different perspectives on fashion were presented beautifully with wit & humor.

Mino is the fashionista who enjoys bold & unconventional looks whereas PO prefers chic & elegant versions of casual looks.

Also you can pick up a few fashion cues & tips from this show if you're interested 😉

The pics & gifs were carefully picked too. Thanks for your consideration. I didn't watch all the dramas mentioned above so I've never thought about all the downsides of having these special abilities. Especially in the case of Strong woman.

I really enjoyed reading this article. Hope you continue to write amazing articles like this. 👍

I could see that. Kudos for your efforts! Hope you give us more wonderful articles like this ^.^

I think I envy Hong Dae Young from '18 Again' who turns into Goo Woo Young & gets to re experience his school days. That was something that I always wished for, lol >.<

If I have to choose someone from this list, it would be Park Soo Ha. Though it's a mentally & emotionally taxing or draining ability, as a medical student it would help me understand my patients better.

I have to do some brainstorming as I can't think of any character that I envy right now.
I'll definitely leave a comment when I do think of one.
I love reviewing dramas with such interesting & intriguing ideas. I'll have lots of fun doing so.

And yes thanks for the amazing article. I especially loved the collection of beautiful quotes. I added few to my Evernote quotes book >.< Have a great time !

I thought that 'soles' literally referred to the real ones. Thank God it's just the shoes. Phew...

Lee Joon in a historical, wow !!! He's perfect for melo-vibes & charming, serious & deep characters.
Loved him in Father is Strange.
He definitely deserves more recognition.
