I like how good people are drawn to both Mi Rae & Mi Ji. Yes, they have their struggles, but they are both so…
Me, too, also I enjoy observing the different ways other people relate to them. Since the beginning, this drama is giving the vibe of "literally walking in another person's shoes" (very apt 'coz they are identical twins).
That grandma can fix me.I want to frame all her quotes and hang it in my house .
THIS!!!!! I LOVE how intuitive grandma has been. She displays such a high emotional intelligence. The way she wanted Miji to come over to the hospital 'coz she couldn't walk anymore, only to have the first thing she said to her was "It's not your fault, Miji." And then she said she understood how Miji must've felt after her stroke episode and then proceeded to make the promise with Miji.
DAMN...possibly THE best much younger male representation in dramaland (that I've seen so far)????? Such a wholesome drama. I'm glad I found this gem by accident.
I was punching the air when Amane stood up to his older brother and said something along this line, "This is Kuwanoki (household). You can't do whatever you want. Please leave."
Such a healing, life-affirming compact mini drama. My DARK HORSE of the year. I only started watching it out of curiosity, not expecting ANYTHING, but I've got SOOOOOOOOOOOOO many things from this drama. Brilliant script, perfect casting, too (including the side characters). SO SO SO many tender moments and the seriousness of the plot is interspersed with fun moments, too. Full marks for the drama 'coz of the impact it's given me (including two particular scenes that felt like I was hit by a sledge hammer - in a positive way). Quite rare for a drama to have such an impact on me, esp. for a mini drama.
This drama, among other things, makes me think about the love arrows sent that aren't recognized/appreciated because of many factors (age/understanding, the fact that the love arrows are invisible to the receiver, the fact that the love arrows aren't the kinds that the receiver wants/needs). Different love languages and all...I know one BFF whose love language is words of affirmation, but the husband's love language is acts of service. It was tough for her to feel/absorb every single act of service as a token of love.
Like in this case when young Eun Myeong wanted to have more pork cutlets. He didn't realize that Ae Sun didn't even get any herself. He only realized this much later during a fight with his parents. His being young made him oblivious to the fact that his mother didn't get any pork cutlets at all. All he saw was the fact that his dad and sister got more pork cutlets.
Ae Sun, on the other hand, notices and thus gets to appreciate all the little gestures that Gwan Sik has done...that way she can feel and appreciate ALL his loving gestures.
"Toto and I share the same kind of humor. In a grown up world where we learn to fake smiles, it was an incredible…
Yeah, it would be too difficult to get married to her first love, esp. with a mother like that and the guy couldn't even defend his girlfriend in front of the mother. Even though the first love cared about her a lot, he was too much of a momma's boy.
10/10. A full circle drama for sure. Brilliant casttttttt and awesome writing, also loving how cohesive and layered the time jumps. Each time jump adds a layer of understanding towards a particular scene.
Such a full-circle drama due to the long timeline. 'Coz the span of timeline is similar to my mom's and my generation, the nostalgic factor is SO strong for me. The rice container Ae-Sun was using in one scene (after adulthood) was exactly the kind that we had at one period of time. The drama makes me miss my mother A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTT. This may just be my Drama of the Year if it keeps up the pace until the end.
Wonder if anyone acknowledged the pain ML has gone through though.After all this pure virgin man kept his pecker…
I don't mind that the drama focuses heavily on the FL (or many dramas). This drama only consists of 12 ep, can't really focus deeply on too many characters (either that or it's the choice of the writer). Besides, I find it refreshing to have more focus on the FLs compared to the MLs. We've got enough already male centric Hollywood movies where the women get only few lines (that aren't that important). But then again whether it's male-centric or female-centric, as long as one can enjoy it (movie/dramas), so what? Someone's trash can be someone else's treasure. :-)

You sure have a passive-aggressive way of sharing your POV. If you want to have your POV reciprocated, you should talk to others with similar POVs instead.

I was sharing my POV on FL, not ML. I'm not disregarding anyone else's backstory, but the drama so far gives more FL's complex backstory compared to the other ones.
Rewinding back the latest episodes in my brain. That part when ML's character back hugged her, I thought he'd say something else, but instead he said, "I'm sorry, Kang Hee. It must've been tough/painful for you."
How many times has anyone ever verbally acknowledged her pain/trauma, I wonder? Her dad did say that to her ("it must've been tough to come back") in a previous episode, but due to her painful past with her dad, it was difficult to accept what he said because in her mind, her dad was the one who caused a lot of pain in her life, too (the loss of her mother and baby brother).
Anyway, back to ML's back hug. That tender moment of verbal acknowledgement was so crucial in terms of a healing journey. No need to fix that other person by saying unhelpful cliches like "time heals everything" or "everything will be fine"...but simply acknowledging how much it has hurt her was a powerful catalyst...that was an important scene.
It’s so heartbreaking to see grown adults be so rude and disrespectful towards kids that are just living their…
Yeah, the toxicity level is just so high. Such a vicious cycle. Seeing the adults being so toxic = the kids also think it's normal to treat someone "different" that way. Ughhhhhhh...

HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! 100% true!
