I stopped reading after "Joonha, my favorite character" because i feel every other word following that has lost its credibility.

From Now On Showtime. You can find it in the recommendation tab above.

Umm they were together for real from the car-camping date upwards to the break caused by her running away and ghosting idiotic marathon. TK made plans for the future with an apartment, equipping the nursery and he told her that he loves her etc He was all in. Sadly he had always been the more invested one in this relationship and she kicked it with her feet and took it for granted several times throughout.

well gotta add that she also left him without a word or letter explaining why in the dead of the night and that after promising to stay at his side forever and him making future plans (finding a kid-friendly apartment, equipping the nursery etc) Then she proceeded to ghost him for a year and even their reunion was by mere coincidence not by her choice.

Imo from this point forward the romance was dead in the water. There was never time given by the narrative to rebuild the relationship properly that a second chance romance would have needed, because they were swamped with misery and conflict at every turn. They just got back together bc he provided the safety and it was convenient for her. I never felt her love for him, especially not after ditching him coldly for a year and not caring if he is dead or alive, which she even basically TELLS him when he asked why she abandoned him.

Plus every interaction between them became awkward and stilted, they are always so distant with each other like social distancing is still in effect or something. it was painful to watch. In fact, they feel more like roommates raising a baby together than a romantic couple and least of all like wife and husband. The amount of non and miscommunication between them is staggering too, they hide important things from each other etc. There is ´little to no openness in communication or how they feel, they don't share important things, don't rely on or work with each other, everyone does their own thing more often than not. There are several instances in this show when one of them makes a big decision that impacts them both without ever talking about it with the other beforehand, even when they are actually married. It is a pity how shitty writing has ruined a couple i used to love for the first 30 eps or so.

I could spoiler tag this, but i see it as public service announcement for future viewers, as a warning lol.

Yeeeah. Does not help either that i have been spoiled by Homemade Love Story lately where the main couple checks in with each other several times a day, work together, and also discusses everything that is going on or worries them. TK & YD are a far cry from that with their non/miscommunication tbh. Plus HML's leads are smart and no doormats who confront the villains instead of doing fuckall and hoping for the best.

I know right 😂

Yeeeeah yet another abysmal writing/plot choices destroying what once was good. Hell even they were split it could have worked if they were just given the screentime to develop and rebuild this relationship again, instead to throw conflict and misery at them at every turn. All a matter of how it is written and here it was written in the worst way.

Big bro was really the viewer's representative the past ten eps or so with how done he was with all the bullshit hahaha. I love him now.

He was tearing up thinking back how family was for him and what it means now with haneul and how much has changed from what i gathered. Him playing it off in front of his wife and running away to not show her he was crying was off-putting to me, bc it just proves that they are all BUT open with each other. Neither emotionally nor communication-wise. Which are the two pillars of a good healthy relationship and they lack both 🤡

yeah that scene really added insult to injury. OOOOOOH HOW GRACIOUS YOU ARE, LET ME BOOOOW TO YOUUUUR GENEROSITY 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮 🤮

Not much else happened, I rageskipped thru yet another two scenes of this bastard being saaaaad or something and the two demons have a jolly good time as they say goodbye to each other as if they had been best buddies not hellbent on destroying other peoples' lives for 40 eps plus. It is the biggest con and insult to the viewers i have ever seen in a story.

There is a nice scene of TK/YD talking about how his view on fam has changed which would be great to showcase his growth, except that he is still ashamed showing his emotions in front of YD as he started tearing up but is denying it. This is a very healthy relationship and marriage, you see. Which also shows in the scene in the photo studio where YD announces they are moving back into the dingy ass annex without ever discussing it with her husband beforehand. HAH, that is true love, indeed.

On the airhead couple front we have princess YM meeting up with birthmom and while she has liked DW in the past it is not that way now. So basically birthmom clears up a misunderstanding since YM assumed she wanted to get back together with him. SK meets her mom to eat pizza and will play cupid between the airheads. This storyline is a spinning circle, never ending.

We have another family meeting where they talk about shithead this time about the give up parental rights we never saw him getting lol, so good news but i am so sick of every conversation being about this asshole. Grandma meets with this asshole where he we have another kim junha pity party. ARE YOU FEELING SORRY FOR HIM YET? DO DO DO YOUUUU? LOOK HE IS CRYING AGAIN THIS POOR MAAAAAAAAAAAN 🤮 my finger made skippety skip hard, also on the airhead couple scenes where YM does the only good thing, walking away not falling for DW's bullshit. There is still too much shithead ratio in this episode and i am disgusted at the number of blatant attempt of emotional manipulation in this eps alone. MISS ME WITH THIS SHIT.

Also either BJH finally slept for more than an hour the night before filming this eps or someone forgot to put sedatives into YD's morning tea, bc she has awoken from her zombie-state of being and speaks like a normal human being, and is even joking with others? Like it feels animated and alive the way she acts and speaks? What is this madness we did not have for the past 20 eps?

Shithead calls YD when she is not very enthusiastically reviewing the job offer with her former boss in a cafe. Given how THAT ended i don't blame her. Trashbag carries his ass into the clinic and ofc it is another kim junha pity party as he announces in TK's office he gives up his parental rights (WHEN TF DID HE EVER GET THOSE? LMAO) The last night showed me i am not fit to be a father whaaa whaaaaa whaaaa. I COULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO 45 FUCKING EPS AGO, the moment he demanded an abortion TWICE, but sadly i was never asked.

The bigger question is more: WHEN WILL HE FINALLY FUCK OFF?

i am kinda livebloggin here as i watch the raw, so there is that lol

oh god i remember that show and that SML *shudder* Yeah, i am aware it has been used before but it seems to get a revival lately in kdrama after we had pretty much only shows where FL is interested in ML only (with some few exceptions) the past few years.

Ofc writer's pet comes away with all of that scotfree including anew slimy appeal at the viewer's emotions to please please please please please feel sorry for this poor lonely trash man whaaaaaa ,including a scene where we hear him crying and my eyes cannot roll far back enough in my skull at the blatant manipulation of emotions at work here. Fuck off. Eka is annoying the fuck out of me too, she is totally enabling and excusing all his shitty behavior under the guise of her holy kindness and forgiveness.

With that atrocity of a storyline done, the leads are back to the annex to spend the night there, strictly with hands over the blanket and separated with social distancing of course. YD gets a job offer the next morning bc this dipshit writer remembered she used to be a star instructor in his original script pitch instead of wife bg decoration only, that needs a man to speak for her. Sadly all of that happens 15 eps too late. Imagine what could have been if the writer had not been the most inept one under the sun? Such a good storyline with so much potential of how to juggle career and motherhood squandered for kim junha bloodline bs.

Tk reacting jealous about YD talking that early with the guy made me laugh tho. He does not like that TA xD It is half a joke tho. They have breakfast together with the fam and almost a single conversation not mentioning the bastard. But only almost, so it failed the writer's pet litmus test, i am afraid. Talk about her work offer and they plan to do a family shoot with everyone included this time. Nice. I eat my proverbial hat if this dumbass remembers the bracelets exist bf it is over tomorrow. See these are the family scenes i wanted but never got due to neverending bullshit misery that went nowhere and this asshole hogging all the screentime.

Oooof AJH's acting in the scene, all the pain and wrath of a father, ready to murder shithead. I felt that. Why tf is he always held back? Let him go to town with that clown.

Really hope AJH gets better script offers in the future that values his talent. For now he will get a lot of free food from all the ajummas who love him now like a son. ML Weekend drama bonus lmao

Soooooo shithead really intended to leave with haneul, but ofc no one ever calls the police on his kidnapping ass. Instead it is used as a family bonding experience as the gongs go wild goose hunting for the human trash themselves for whatever goddamn reason. But reason nor police does exist in this drama so it fits.

And the biggest comedy skit is that delulu dingleburger is the one talking sense into shithead, so he returns with Haneul. She also has a fever. Her immune system did its job well in rejecting the bastard lmao

if you have only watched TRHC and AOME, oh god you got the double whammy of shittiness then. indeed. However there are good weekenders that stay good till the end. As said many times before Five Enough and Once Again are my two big ones that manage that. You just need to know where to look, or rather what to watch heh.
