Really hoping as the show goes on (and hopefully gets better and better) there will be more people tuning in and giving it a chance, it has the potential to be one of the best dramas of this year.
Oh wow this comment section is a hot mess huh😳some polarizing opinions for sure. I am still watching, so correct me if I'm wrong about anything, but I do have to agree with everyone saying they wish Junho's character had more development (and judging by the comments it looks like he wasn't given any?). I know that the story mainly centers Youngwoo, but I wanted to know what his backstory was, how did he and Minwoo become friends, and his motivations and aspirations don't really exist. His main purpose is mostly the romance with Youngwoo and/or helping out with the cases, not much more. That's fine and all at the beginning, but as I'm getting closer to the end I kind of realize that instead of a main character, he slowly begins to feel like more of a supporting character to me. I feel like if he existed in any other drama instead of the most popular one of 2022, he would be quickly forgotten, because he's just not fleshed out enough for a male lead.
It might be like some restaurants on the coast of California that are closed after breakfast, lunch and dinner…
yeah, the times we see them sitting in there is late evening, probably after closing hours. so no guests obviously. haven't finished the show yet so I could be wrong, but I dont think I remember a single day-time scene in the restaurant, unlike the one young woo's dad owns.
just noticed that the art in the opening theme is actually from paintings that are hung all over the hospice. like here: https://ibb.co/3N1SVtW, https://ibb.co/DzsgNYH such a cute detail🥺
You do know that tropes are storytelling devices.. right? bc good luck finding a piece of fiction that doesn't use tropes. All stories use tropes and they're not inherently good or bad. A story can still be really good even if it uses lots of tropes, the execution matters. So what you perhaps meant were "clichés".
I really like ji chang wook's character's name "Yoon gyeo rye" I feel like I will remember it for a long time…
I like it too, it seems kinda uncommon :) 겨레 Gyeo Re is a pure Korean word (meaning it doesn't derive from Chinese e.g. like the word 국가 which also means nation) for "People", as in a group of those who come from the same ancestors, so it's synonymously used for "Nation" as well. It can be misspelled as 겨례 Gyeo Rye. source: 나무위키/namuwiki and the viki subs It's why at the end of ep3 when talking about the hospice Gyeo Re says "this kind of peaceful feeling really does not fit with Yoon Gyeo Re's life, which is grandiose in name only"
i keep replaying that one scene between Gyeo Re and Yeon Joo in the kitchen. ngl i kind of screamed like wtf guys we're barely at ep 4 what in the casual intimacy is going ON here
I loooved episode 4!! A bit on the lighter side; it was so nice seeing everyone prepare for the perfomance and I like how we're slowly getting more background story for the volunteers, like Ms Yeom's in the last episode and Yeon Joo's in this one, as well as a small glimpse of Seo Jin's highschool life. I also loved the little Gyeo Re/Yeon Joo moments and them stealing glances at each other and becoming progressively closer by the end of the episode, their dynamic is so good already 😍 And YES him finally having a damn bite of the food and enjoying it even though he keeps muttering under his breath how he's being pressured lol. It's evident he's slowly easing into his role at the hospice and obviously growing attached even if he says he won't. THAT "I AM TEAM GENIE" AT THE END!!! I can see where Dr. Yang is coming from as a doctor but I mean, this is about the patient's will and their last wishes and so it's ultimately up to them to decide what they want to do. He's kinda on his way to becoming the least likable character, but it's okay because everyone else is twice as lovable. I do hope he gets a change of heart. Also liked how the celebrity is kinda annoying and rude but also turned out to be a sappy dude who falls in love quickly lmao. I guess he would fall in love with Se Hee with both of them being quite flawed characters. I'm excited to see what's going to happen when Joon Kyung appears next week! she seems to be someone Gyeo Re treated like his littler sister but it feels like they have a complicated relationship.
Saw the trailer and it looks super fun! tbh more drama trailers should be like that. like hell yeah don't tell me anything about the overarching plot just show me random chaotic moments to give me a sense of the show's vibe lol. also looks like we'll get a nice bromance in this, it's been a while since i've seen a good one so crossing my fingers for this as well 😍
i was gonna have low expectations coz usually when i have low expectations for something it ends up being a hit…
same, the set up with the leads is the exact reason why I'm watching out for this show! it's just the right genres mixed with romance that makes me hopeful it'll be good.
