Loving the cast, especially the two main leads. It's not easy to portray these characters, esp. since there are a LOOOOOTTTT of close-up (kinda slow-mo) moments where they have to express complication emotions through body language and micro expressions. If one of them falls flat or seems weaker, it won't work as well. But they deliverrrrrrrrrrr...my goodness, they DELIVERRRRRR the nuances, the awkwardness, the complexity of the emotions!!!!
Why is Soo Cheol so endearing to me? He's so dumb, I can't be mad at him
Same. Despite his foolish actions and choices, I can't dislike him. Deep inside, he just wants to do his best for his family. When he started learning to ride a bike, it was because he said he wanted to teach his son how to do it. It was so touching for me. And his affections towards his wife seem to be genuine, too.
I was unexpectedly sobbing like crazy watching ep. 8 epilogue. T_T It felt good to sob like that, though. Purifying…
When FL said, "I want to live", I lost it. A few years ago my husband was diagnosed with cancer (he's in remission now, thank goodness!). Her words felt like what my husband could have said to me. It also makes me think of a lot of patients undergoing surgery/treatments, trudging through because they want to live, too. I sobbed my eyes out 'coz I feel thankful that my husband is still alive...
One of the funniest scenes: The Palanquin Training courtesy of her MIL. The two highlights: when she....
rolls forward and then another one when she comes out of the palanquin like Sadako (scaring her FIL) with lots of sweat (making me, the audience, fully believe how hardcore the training is like), she gains more of my respect he he he...SO freaking funny he he he he...
They were very lenient lol.I was like yes Pil Jik is dead he deserved. Finally just became a butcher. And after…
Even though I also wanted him to be beheaded, but he got lots of beatings. To me, being beheaded is "too quick/easy a punishment" compared to the beatings (after all the things he had done) ha ha ha ha...
Not Korean, but I found it cute, too he he...if fits her character, too, 'coz she's mature for her age. She was…
Indeed, the marriage was so sketchy and was only mentioned in passing. But yeah, as long as our heroine could get away from the sham marriage, it's all good ha ha ha...
Isn't it cute the way Seok Jeong calls Ggot Nim "sunbae" (aka "senior Ggot")? 😂 I don't know if Koreans would…
Not Korean, but I found it cute, too he he...if fits her character, too, 'coz she's mature for her age. She was also the one who gave the idea so that they could annul her marriage when the adults were brainstorming about the whole divorce-her-or-not situation.
That time when FL pretended to be attacked by the rice thieves ha ha ha ha...
