how did that annoying girl ( their classmate who has a crush on hou so )know that she is min ji not mirae¿?
Simple things like knowing what happened or knowing what you've disucssed repeatedly. Or, dropping trick leading questions.
For example, "Do you remember I told you about ____? Have you forgotten?" Then they'll act like they suddenly remembered and agree fith you. WHEN in reality, you never told anything about it.
These little things are how you can detect if someone is lying, twins or not.
And since she used to be bestfriends with Miji before she moved to being bestfriends with Mirae, she knows both of them too well.
Guys don’t behave like Hosu in real life. Keeping quiet out of a sense of nobility does not get you the girl…
Wow. That was a stereotypical gender view. Men and women are not one-dimensional. There are women who likes men like Hosu, and men like Hosu do exist since humanity existed.
Is it really that hard to understand Mirae? Like the show places emphasis on something called empathy through…
Many, if not most, MDL commenters only see the surface and not the deep stuff; or see two-dimensional characters instead of seeing a beautiful person.
There were even comments that Mirae was selfish because she attempted suicide. Like, uhm, she did not commit suicide and "selfish" and "suicide" don't belong together.
That's a very huge spoiler question. The show will probably be boring for you because of it.
That's true. But the way the story was written, they were leading the audiences to think of a hundred possible scenarios because they are twins. And one such was their love life. 😉
We actually got one thing sorted out about their love life only in E05 and E06. 😝 And it's only half of the series. They are more likely going to introduce new ones.
It's part of the charm. It's part of using "twins" as a literary device.
I'm not saying you shouldn't ask, just a fair warning that the way it was written was to take advantage of all the questions people have whenever "identical twins" are involved.
(Do they switch? Do they share lovers? Do they pretend they're the lover? Have twins ever loved the same person? What happens during work if they switched? How do they deal with their traumas and different experiences?)
Why ? I thought they gonna meet in the wedding scene, but as that failed i dont expect them to met in person till…
It does matter knowing a person's real name especially if they applied for a job.
He may not remember her name Miji's name properly but the character that built up in his mind is not Miji but Mirae.
As he himself said so in the beginning when he tested Mirae-ji, he values trust the most. He will be affected if he learns that she's not the person in the resumé. He will probably even assume Mirae lied from the beginning by using Miji's name in her application, and Koreans being Koreans, they won't explain the reality and instead apologize and self-blame themselves and then leave and do a self-penance.
It will take him a while to sort his feelings about his broken trust. And for all we know, he actually knew her name is Miji and was just pretending he can't remember. Remember, his character is a happy-go-lucky guy but deep inside he takes his principles very seriously.
It wouldn't take him long to sort his feelings since the person he has been dealing with the entire time was Mirae. He just needs to overcome his trust issues. And he can only do it if someone will explain to him why they switched, and how it was actually Miji who originally applied, that Mirae didn't lie, they just took on their roles.
HOWEVER, this is IF he discovers it BEFORE the twins switches back. Which I think is not what they want to happen (it will be boring).
If he discovers it _after_ they switched back, he will be very confused and deeply hurt. Not only his trust was broken, but honesty, and most important of all, his heart and feelings. If Mirae hasn't shown interest in him before, he'll probably think it was a one-sided love, and just cut all connections with them.
He will be affected, one way or another. He's a human being after all. 😉 And again, Koreans don't explain things which leads to further misunderstandings.
It looks like the chairman will be forced to acknowledge the FL because her cooking is the type of taste she had when she was young, and haven't tasted since then. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think what they meant was, it doesn't need marketing because it's a PBY show.
TV/Cable networks and OTT usually don't bother with marketing when at least one lead is a "super celebrity". The show can stand on its own.
Marketing is expensive. You have editing. Filming. Time. And so on. When it's going to be a huge success with or without marketing because of the super celebrity lead.
If this was a film, they will market it since the competiton is different in the movie industry. But for a TV series, usually not needed unless they timed it to air at the same time as a stiff competition, like another show with a super celebrity at the same day and timeslot.
Of course, it is not always the case. There are super celebrity shows where they still do marketing, but that's because they're using them to market their own brand name, not really to market the show. 😉
I think that's what they meant. It's PBY, she can carry the entire show herself without any marketing support.
Can someone tell me why Hosu is spending time with Ji hyun. If he doesn't like ji hyun, only sees her as, a friend,…
I'll just copy-paste my previous answer. It's the same but I don't have the time to adjust it specifically to yoyr question.

Hosu knows and is fully aware. If you watched the episode,
"Do you know who you are meeting? It's Miji and not Mirae."
"I know. I'm sorry, I know."
He also refused her but she made it clear it was just for her project. Since she said so, it's fine if he accompanies her.
But when she finally revealed her true intentions, which he was fully aware of, he told her straight.
You're thinking, why didn't he just say it if he knows?
Simple. If he said it without her revealing her intentions first, he will look like an arse. She will more likely say:
"What? You think I like you? You're so pretentious. Wow. *sarcastic laugh*"
Which, btw, often happens when guys turns down women before they confessed, and their reputation is tarnished because they did the right thing.
But if they keep quiet about it, they still are evil for "giving false hopes".
They want to cut it early to avoid misunderstanding but they can't because "you're so mean and pretentious." And if they delay it, they gave false hopes. 😉 So, what should a guy do? Whichever choice they make, guys are "evil".
That's the situation of Hosu.
Besides, as he told Miji-rae, "you don't know their story and situation", "they are not saying something or is hiding something because they have a story or a reason that you do not know", "why should I dig, it is their own story/reason to reveal" (paraphrased). As far as Hosu is concerned, if the person is not being honest or revealing, he does not have any right to violate their privacy and squash their hopes.
Since she finally revealed her intentions, Hosu took advantage of the oppurtunity to turn her down. He was no doubt waiting for that moment and she gave him exactly that.
i love hosu but one thing I hate about these "nice" male leads is that they just never know when/how to set their…

Can someone explain what’s that big project they want to do in that area ? Is it a government office or something…
Train system.
The company buying the land heard of the government train project so they want to buy the land before that train project begins.
Government always buy lower than market value using the "right-of-way" law when people refuse to sell at a little bit higher than market value.
So the private company or politician will earn more from the government because they have connections and they know when to stop haggling, thus avoiding the government using ROW law.
That's why they're keeping it quiet. The iffer they're giving the residents will simply be a change once they and the government agrees on land acquisition for the train project. For example, they can sell at current market value (not lower, not higher) in exchange for tax cuts, naming the station to what they want, getting exclusive rights for XX years on advertisements in the stations, or to manage the station's operations (they'll have 60% share on the station's revenue), and other potential deals.
Ok! Ok! Ok!..... I was little wrong before... But I had intuition that ho-su will know that she's miji..... And…
Hosu knew. He was just confused when Miji-rae started using words he first heard or usually heard from Mirae. But deep down, he knew. It was why he wasn't surprised when Miji-rae started talking in her sleep.
He was like,
"I knew it!" "You sisters really fooled me this time, well done." "Why did I ever doubt myself? I should've known she's Miji, I love her!" "Who cares. Now I know I really love Miji still because all this time, it was her with me, not Mirae."
Why ? I thought they gonna meet in the wedding scene, but as that failed i dont expect them to met in person till…
It's the halfway episode (7 of 12), it's about time they accidentally meet with their man. Mr. Organic Strawberry Farming confessed but he still is not aware of Mirae-ji's true identity. Hosu and Miji-rae are now on the same page about the switch, and Mirae-ji is probably not aware their cover was blown.
The story reached the point where it's time to bring down the curtain and end their twin switching. They've been doing it since they were kids, and there were repercussions. Like Miji drinking Mirae's herbal tonic, and Mirae doing Miji's assignments = Mirae grew weaker and weaker until she was hospitalized.
Mirae hiding her illkess resurfaced, which led to the misunderstanding that resulted in Miji's injury and eventual psychological issue. And Mirae pretended to be Miji at school while also being Mirae at the same time.
Also, Mirae said to Miji, "you know what happened after CSAT". So, they faced another family problem.
They're adults, 30 years old, and they're still switching. It's about time they stand up and face their own problems. 🙂 After all, they now realized that
(1) no matter where they are and who they are, their problems will always be the same because it is about them, not the people around them; (2) other people (their twin in this case) also have their own problems; and (3) they just love each other so much, they need to patch up and repair their openness to each other.
Finally, it's also time they start telling us about Mirae's side of the story even if only for 4–6 episodes.
I don't understand if Gyeong-gu really liked Meiji and was her ex-boyfriend or not. Can someone explain this to…
They both agreed to have a fake relationship.
GyeongGu's "practice" confession was actually real, he was confessing to that guy.
Hosu knew he's gay, that's why he asked him if he truly liker Miji. Turns out, he just said Miji because he's afraid he'll be outed.
Meanwhile, Miji talked to him and they agreed to fake their relationship. Miji probably knew from the start, that's why when he blurted out a confession, Miji agreed to make Hosu jealous.

Mirae is fine since she fell on the bush with thick bedsheets too.
But Miji… no way. 🤣🤣🤣 Miji channeled her inner Do Bong Soon!
