You know having children is not the only purpose of having a relationship, right? Were you there when these two planned to have children? And I know you were trying to be scientific (even without data or evidence that backs up your claims), but men have been marrying older women since the dawn of time, whether for their beauty, money, power, connections, or feelings...etc (Yes, they didn't stop to question their childbearing ability). Your personal preference doesn't make it unnatural. Also, younger doesn't mean childbearing and actually young, a woman could be "younger" and over 50 at the same time. What kind of nonsense are you going on about? If you think that women are childbearing machines, that's your personal view, don't drag nature into it. If it was nature, it would've been the case since the dawn of time. Nature doesn't only work when you come up with statistics.

I don't have a say on this since I'm from a very different culture, but my point was that maybe it will help if average men saw average women as potential partners instead of competing with them on who gets more responses on Tinder.

humm. Not that I have any data on this subject, or do I encourage "playing the field" but objectively speaking, if your percentages are correct (which I really doubt), couldn't the reason be because "average men" usually go for very attractive women who are far out of their league, then get discouraged when they get rejected? I mean I'm pretty sure there are plenty of average women who would be fine going out with average men but never get asked.
I think blaming attractive women for going out with guys who are as attractive as they are for "average men not getting any" is kind of ridiculous. She is very attractive, of course she would look for someone on her level first before lowering her standards. Wouldn't every guy in the world do the same? Aren't they here whining about how attractive women never go for them? How about going for women who are more likely to go out with them instead? Life is not a teen movie, average guys don't usually get the most attractive girl in school.
I remember reading a study that said that men are most likely to think that they are more attractive than they are perceived, maybe that is why even if they realized they were average looking they still have a hard time figuring out their own league.

Just noticed that it's a weekend drama. That explains the low quality makjang elements. I typically don't like dramas that are neither fully makjang nor have a high quality plot. I prefer to watch daily makjangs where you find the absurdity quite funny or opt-in for a high quality weekday drama. This one was trying to be both which bored me to death. I couldn't laugh at the absurdity or enjoy the plot.

This drama is both too slow and too fast. The development of their feelings is fast, but the days are passing too slowly for me.

I liked Reply 1997 way more. This one was definitely sadder and more melo, but Reply 1997 was more exciting and engaging.
Events kept repeating towards the end, and it became too dull. I also didn't like how plain the ending was, and how no one had an exciting ending (sad or happy). It seemed like everyone was walking on the same spot until they unintentionally made a small hole with their feet and casually fell into it. No one fought their way through to get somewhere more interesting.

Thank you for the reply. I'll watch them on double speed.

Only one scene. and it is kind of still.

I'm not sure what you are referring to but they are repeating the title of the drama "In a forest with no one.." (This is the Korean title) "...If a tree fell, no one will notice or hear (?)".
It is kind of like this event didn't happen because no one was there to witness it. I think it's a metaphor about feeling alone and isolated during a struggle which was the main leads' state. I don't remember the lines, I just remember that something like this was implied.

It is based on an old Korean saying which translates to "A frog dies from a carelessly thrown stone". It means that lives are impacted by the actions of others even without them being intentional. The victims in this drama (AKA frogs) weren't targeted initially, someone was targeting someone else and they got hit because they were in the way.

but.. that was the only gory scene in the entire drama.

She also slammed into a stopping car in front of a police station causing its driver to be hospitalized. Not only they did nothing and she walked like it was nothing, but one of the policemen who witnessed it, ended up going out with her. It is ridiculous how she does everything out in the open with no repercussions. Like stuffing a woman inside a suitcase could be considered self-defense.

It is their imagination. I'm referring to all the dreams they have, while asleep and while they are awake, because nothing else happens outside the dreams. They are only running around.

Boring... Can't believe they got movie A-listers to just roam around in the same place and stare at nothing. I'm halfway through and all the events are in their imagination. I like dramas where there is intensity with a big final reveal, but this one wasn't intense at all. Nothing eerie happens. All murders are done behind the scenes. They are only bleeding from their nose or their hands. The only creepy character is hardly creepy, every now and then she smiles weirdly, and have a red "mukbang". She looks so fragile, she can be killed with a spoon, but she acts like she is indestructible.

Ok, I'm sold just by looking at the poster. It feels very nostalgic.

The scarecrow was a part of the episode though. He was the one chasing the members. In the earlier episode, the members were invited to Gujeon village, which is the "new" name of the village in this episode after the scarecrow was revived. They were chased by the scarecrow at that time. When they show the scarecrow at the end of this episode, the caption says "and that is how the story of Gujeon village started". Meaning this is how the events in the earlier episode started.

I'm starting to consider movies with ratings below 8/10.
I watched a few and I liked them a lot. Now that I think of it, I can't believe I trusted ratings here. I never trust them in dramas, but for some reason, I thought movies' rating were genuine. This one was pretty good. I cried, laughed and enjoyed the musical.

This is a reference to an old episode. This wasn't a preview of a future episode. It is made to look like this was a prequel to that old episode.

Il Mare is my favorite Korean movie. I love letter exchanging movies and I cannot get enough of them. Il Mare, The Lunch Box, You've Got Mail, Mary and Max...etc. I'm in every time there are two strangers exchanging messages. It is so interesting to watch two strangers connect on a deep level without seeing each other. This one though was done badly in my opinion. There were tons of possibilities they could've gone with, but they chose the most boring one. The connection between the two characters in my opinion was more literal than emotional. It's still watchable, I just thought it could've been way better.

I don't agree on the part about the relation between intelligence and not getting over relationships easily or fighting for them. On the contrary, I think avoiding getting tangled up in fights you're probably not going to win, and avoiding making the same mistake again of falling for the wrong person is a sign of intelligence. Her need of an intimate connection with another human-being will probably win eventually.
P.S. You switched the two actresses. Ha Ji Won played the main lead's friend in 2000. The other actress played the other character with the broken legs.
