I definitely agree, my issue was that they said deaf people couldn't speak. It's a really harmful way to represent people and I hope they address it. It gets frustrating when shows use deafness as a plot device instead of a powerful opportunity to showcase what it's like being deaf and/or losing your hearing.
My friend is hard of hearing....she prefer to sign vs. Talking
In my post I mentioned that in the show they say they 'can't' speak as opposed to choosing not to. That's my issue. If that is the case I hope it's explained in the show or it's a plot hole for me.

Are you saying this with information from actual deaf people or is it from the dramas you've watched? Yes you can lose your confidence with speaking and choose not to speak, I just find it strange that you would say you CAN'T speak and make your little boy translate forever. Lip reading does not require formal training, it's something you pick up and can get better at with training or just practice.
no one's ignoring that??? it's literally in the plot! what show are you watching seriously...they literally learnt…
Hey sis/bro...not judging just hoping for better representation for deaf people. Am I allowed to be hopeful that a show with a whole deaf family would have better representation? Yes, I think so. It's not 'nearly pointless for deaf people to speak' that's quite a generalised statement. Deafness is a spectrum, of the three deaf people they could have various levels of deafness and some might hear sound. Also they could get hearing aids which would put less pressure on their only hearing son...but choose not to. I believe it to be a plot hole.
when ppl lost hearing they also can't hear themselves too that mean they can't talk.
They could choose not to, but in this show they're saying they CAN'T. That's my issue. Deaf people still have a voice. Some deaf people might have speech that's hard to understand especially if they didn't do speech therapy as a child. But they can speak. It's frustrating that they choose to do a story around a deaf family and CODA and didn't do their research and give probable explanations.

I recognise that it can be hard to speak when you can't hear yourself. I know a lot of deaf people who chose to use sign language instead of speaking. But that doesn't mean they can't speak. It does not make sense that in moments of danger or when you need to represent yourself in important moments you wouldn't speak, I hope they address that, if they don't it's a plot hole.

It could be possible and there are people like that. But that doesn't explain why they can't lip read at least, especially his mum as she's been deaf most of her life. It's a natural thing that you pick up in the absence of hearing. But then again there would be no story line without this!

That's just not true lol...do you need to hear yourself speak in order to speak? It definitely makes it harder but he was 18 or 19 when he lost his hearing which means he had the ability to speak, that doesn't just go away. It's a major plot hole and just poor representation.
So we're really ignoring the fact that someone that lost his hearing as a teenager suddenly can't speak as an adult?! And both parents can't lip read? Really poor representation of deaf people, it just doesn't make sense...
I must admit...I love messy dramas and this is one of them. Every character (apart from the children...kinda) is absolutely crazy and wishy washy and I love it!
If you're looking for a concrete storyline with characters that can reason without displaying erratic behaviour, this one is not for you!
I'll be the first to say it...I don't like Mi Rae's brother.
He was doing way too much and was quite intense considering he was Yu Na's former boss but I'm glad he's backed down now. Yu Na is a real one for telling him how it is without sugarcoating it. I would feel uncomfortable too, especially if I'm not over my ex yet!
Is no one going to talk about Yoon Jae's shirt popping open...? The scream I scram!
Side note - I think some people are being a bit insensitive to differences in culture, what might not seem like a bit deal in your country is clearly a big deal in Korea. This is not the first show I've watched where adoption was such a huge taboo, or getting married late or families looking down on one another. I'm not excusing this by any means at all but it's something to consider.
So instead of getting frustrated with fictional characters, see this as a small (sometimes over the top) view of another country and their culture.
BABI-YA - _- I don't trust homeboy one bit...I know he hasn't done much to Yumi but he's he can be dishonest at times, not just to Yumi but to himself too. Don't forget when one of his cells hit the other one over the head so that he could hide the truth. I wouldn't want to marry someone like that.
I really like Woong but too much time has passed, I don't think Yumi has a future with him either.
Everyone should be single and happy at this point!
For those of you saying you don't need to watch season 1, you're right - you don't need to. BUT You'll probably end up loving the plot, the characters (especially the cells) and their backstory so you might end up watching once S1 when S2 finishes.... Why not save yourself some time and watch S1, it's great!
This show is really funny! I'm usually not a fan of fantasy but this is has been done well. The fantasy element is not main focus of the show (as in no over complicated rules and multiple characters with unexplained powers). I feel like the way the characters react to their powers is very realistic. We'll learn more about the FL and ML abilities as the show goes on.

Thanks for listening to my TED talk :)
