Yeah, she got the fund, but she'll still be so busy because the business has just started (not an ordinary life that he wants). I think other than his complex that you mentioned, it seems he feels it's futile to think about marriage with her at this point in time.
The guys wants stability and an ordinary life, but now the BOTH of them have financial issues. FL because she just started her own start-up business, ML also had to loan money to help his dad. FL has finally gotten money for the business, but it will take time until she can finally make money.
Rewatching this. Just want to say one thing I like about Issei's youthfulness (esp. during the first part of their fireworks date) was that Hayame gets to enjoy it, too. Considering the fact that during her teenage years, she had to juggle school with a lot of part-time jobs (fighting people a lot as well as dealing with a drunkard of a dad), she probably didn't really have time to have fun like other kids back then. I also remember the scene where Hayame took off Issei's shoes and threatened to throw them away and they were smiling/laughing while chasing each other.
Even though Hayame is 10 years older, she couldn't really enjoy her youth and to me, it makes more sense that Issei can bring up the youthfulness in her (compared to the more serious, responsible Seigo).
I reaaaally don't get why some people only want it to be about the kids when all of Ina's most interesting interactions…
As to your side note, at first I also felt weird about liking out of nowhere, but I tried to remember myself when I was around that age. I had a splatter of sudden crushes on guys during that period of time. Even guys I never had any contact with (simply crushing on him from afar and one of the guys I had a crush on was even around 4-5 years older than me HAHAHAHAHA...though this one I had some contact with, so I did know him a little bit. So when I remember how I was back then, I can relate to that. It's more about liking the outer appearances/vibe of the guys (even when I don't know a thing about them).
Oh, I'm glad I wasn't the only one bothered by the "lost dog" comment.
I know. Dogs and pets can be considered like family members, but of all the things he could say, he chose that kind of remark. I mean, if I were the woman, I wouldn't be happy to hear that (it's a far cry from something heart-fluttering) ha ha ha ha...
One thing this drama is good at: showcasing the intricate and complex relationships between people and also giving glimpses of the complexity of the human emotions. The talk between Hae In's dad and Hyun Woo's dad in the kalguksu restaurant is a prime example of this. The cause and effects of different family histories, different events affecting different people, the ripple effects of one's traumatic experience towards the rest of the family members, etc. etc. etc.
When Soo Cheol finally managed to get in touch with the wifey, it was touching to see the messages he sent her. He truly truly truly cares a lot about the baby boy (also the wifey). Despite not being the brightest bulb in the room, he has endearing qualities.
My personal POV: I feel like this drama is also a kind of mockery of the chaebol life (esp. the ones who fell from grace). The funny instances where the chaebol family member have to "go back down to earth", i.e. adjust to life without all the wealth and connections that they have. I like the tone of the drama 'coz despite the heavier themes, there's always that comedic undertone. It's like "Here are some serious topics, but don't take this drama too seriously. Enjoy yourselves, audience." But it doesn't mean that the drama is shallow. There are many scenes that make me weep (not just cry, but weep/sob). And the cinematography...BOY, OH, BOY!!!!!! 😘😘😘
Even though Hayame is 10 years older, she couldn't really enjoy her youth and to me, it makes more sense that Issei can bring up the youthfulness in her (compared to the more serious, responsible Seigo).
This drama makes me laugh, weep, chuckle on repeat he he he he he...
