About your first point, i don't think is bad writting that Suk Min is crying at his son's funeral. What that wanted to show us is that he is a psychopath who can pretend to care for someone that he abuse and ultimately killed. He is a man without a soul, without empathy so he can act as he pleased without a care. Also the son wasn't his accomplice, he was his victim.
For the rest, yeah i agree on some points specially the SML and SFL.
Thank you so much for reading through all my questions and responding! I was surprised that the grandfather didn't…
Yeah, in the past the grandfather was mostly in the shadow and never got punishment for the way he treated Tae Ha's mother. In the end, she was the one who tried to kill her son no matter how much preassure she had.
And the punishment in the present, well, yeah he got pretty lucky. At least he won't be a threat anymore.
It is my first time watching Bae In Hyuk and i love him! He is pretty good, he express so much with his eyes he barely needs dialogue ♥♥♥
Yes that is what really not convinced me with the ending. Doesn't matter about whether it's the past Tae Ha or…
When she is back, she told Tae Ha that he keeps longing for her and finally that longing reach her and became her fate. So for this i guess she actually died, that is why the blossom lost the flowers but she is back because the power of love. I think they wanted a little magic at the end but i too expected her to appeared in the pool tbh lol.
Omg episode 11 is brilliant, i cry so much 😭😭😭. The scene when Yeon Woo told Tae Ha that she had to go was heartbreaking and all the episode was a great closure for most of the characters.
I love that Tae Min and Tae Ha really started to be brothers and of course Sa Wol and Sung Pyo are a great couple and support characters ♥♥♥.
Tbh, i enjoyed a lot more the second half of this drama, maybe i will like it better if she was back sooner in the last episode because we barely got a reunion but still, even when i was doubtful at first, it is a drama that deserved to be watched. What a great couple and main leads, i love them 😍😍😍
1. What the grandfather actually wanted was to control Tae Ha so he will do what he wanted. So he wanted him to married an easy-going woman, someone who is there to look good (Since this kind of rich families love tradition, so married with kids is the best look for the chairman) but is not someone that will make Tae Ha think for himself. The choosen girl was exactly this but, when Yeon Woo appeared everything changes since she is not the kind of girl that will shut up and just look pretty. So the grandfather knew he was going to lose control of his grandson and that is why he didn't like this marriage.
2. The mother was dying from a heart disease so the grandfather puts her alone in that room so she died. The grandfather wanted her dead because his son was in love and he wasn't doing what he wanted. Mostly the grandfather motivations for his evil deeds are to have control on his family members so the company keeps being exactly as he wanted it.
3. During the Joseon Era, Tae Ha and Yeon Woo help the butterfly lady with something, i don't remember exactly what it was, so she help them in return when she got Yeon Woo in the future. They don't really explain exactly what she is tbh.
4. I never notice this point but probably was a mislead to make us believe the stepmother was poisoning him like in the past.
2. What country did you watch the most in 2023? South Korea
3. What genre(s) do you usually watch? Thriller, Mystery, drama
4. What is your top drama listed in this article? Alchemy of souls, Taxi driver, Till the end of the moon
5. What is your top drama NOT listed in this article? If it have to be from 2023 my favorites of this year are already there but i also really enjoyed "Destined With you" and "My lovely liar". They're fluffy little dramas just for fun, nothing too serious but they made me happy.
6. How was your drama journey in 2023? It was super fun since this was the year i discovered asian dramas so really everything is new for me and i'm having a blast tbh.
7. What is your wish or plan in dramaland in 2024? My PTW list is so full so i guess my plan is to reduce it if time and live allow me. I also want to watch more Cdramas, because i really enjoyed most of the ones i watched, and different genres like BL.
This second part was a little slow for me. Also i didn't like that they change the presentation of the lives with the three last, it feels like a change of dynamics at a point that was too late for it.
I enjoyed how he used the different memories of the lives to finally get Tae Woo. Rich people getting away with everything because the system is corrupt is nothing new but still boils my blood everytime i see it. But the end of Tao Woo was pretty fitting and satisfying.
About the message well, yes, suicide is a selfish act. When you do it you're only thinking about yourself and your pain. But also i'm not sure living just because you don't want someone to suffer is the best way to focus your life and i say this from my personal experience. Because if that person dies, then you die too? That's not fair to them either. Living is a personal thing that we should do for ourselves, we need to find things that give us that push to continue. so i will prefer if the message was "I haved to keep on living because i really want to do this trip overseas with my mom" not "I have to live just for my mom".
Also the end is a little weird. So Death do this with some selected people and give all of them a second chance if they learn their lesson? Everyone will learn it after being in theirs mom's body for 32 years!.
So the drama is super worth it just for the cast and the amazing acting by everyone but i'm still a little on the fence with the message and the end.
There was no reaction from Gu Won when he saw a family photo in the 11 episode. So it seems he doesn't remember…
Yeah, the drama clearly is selling us he doesn't remember them. which, could be since he doesn't really care for human at all. The fact is, i'm not sure i like this twist that much since there is only 4 episodes left and this is something big.
But he told her a little bit It’s not easy for himBut if u realize they talk about their problems even before…
Yes, i was glad when he told her some. but still i feel he should tell her all the story because problems always appears when they keep big secrets like this.
The drama make you believe they got great communication because the missunderstandings are resolved fast but, if you remember, Do Hee try to break up with Gu Won for his own good when he was stabbed and the only reason Gu Won knew about everything was because Seok Hoon told him.
The same when he decided to died instead of her because that was the only way to get back the powers. The only reason she got to know everything was Star Jin.
Ok, so Do Hee parents died because her father contract with Gu Won expired (I guess it was 10 years already). Could be he made that contract to have a succes company or to have a daugther/son (it was Do Hee's 11 birthday so that match) but let suspend disbelief and said Gu Won probably doesn't remember any of this because he got soo many contracts and humans don't mean anything to him so he probably forgets all of them. Lets say that.
The past lives, as expected, nothing new. He didn't kill her after all, not really, but it was nice to get to know how he became a demon. Again i think he should tell all the story to Do hee because together is how they really can beat fate and whatever gets on their way. COMMUNICATION IS KEY. I wonder is drama writters will get this any time soon 🙄🙄🙄
I don't like how Star Jin is going away without repercusions for her actions. She even seems like the wronged part just because Gu Won doesn't want to be with her. Everything surrounding this character is wrong in many levels.
My favorite part is the villain, Suk Min. Good god looking at him crying at his funeral son was terrifying. He is a cold psychopath that doesn't have any empathy whatsoever for anyone and it is actually scary what he could end up doing. His wife, I could understand her because she is afraid of him but going to see her own son and telling him all those horrible things is awful. Like Do Kyung said now she is going to be Suk Min target.
Well, not exactly a plot twist if he actually killed her tbh but since you don't see this plot before i won't spoil it for you! there is room to surprise me i guess but, for now, i'm not expecting much from the past lives.
Yeah, yeah that is the thing. The same argument than other dramas, they bait you with the fact that it seems he killed her but then it wasn't like that. It lost the surprise factor after 2 o 3 dramas with the same plot.
The episode was...ok. I just started watching dramas this year and already know the past lives is going to be like the other 2 o 3 dramas i already watched (Seems he kill her but not really or for a good reason) so i'm not that interested in it.
Seok Hoon fooled me i throught he was going to dark side but nop he still trying to help Do Hee. He is still a little annoying but the conversation with Gu Won was fun. Gu Won is starting to like him, he even fixed his arm lol.
I don't care for this attempt to make Star Jin somehow nice. After she gave poison to Do Hee she is completely cancelled without possible redemption.
The villain was obvious but what a good one. Suk Min is completely heartless even towards his own son and it doesn't seems he is going to get caught anytime soon. This plot is more interesting than the past lives thing tbh.
And, of course, Ms. Shin and Park Bok Kyu are a thing now lol.
I totally agree. I skipped most of the scenes of Bo-gyeom and Cho-young lol The uncle could have just waited until…
Yeah, all the story with the uncle was pointless tbh. i love when she remember everything and we got to see the best Seo-Hae moments! i hope the last episode is full of them ♥♥♥
Yeah i think that's why they have changed his character as someone who is neither interested nor good in politics,…
Maybe they change it so it is easier for us to differentiate between Sajo Hun and Ak Hee? Since we got Sajo Hun saying he doesn't like hunting and the next day when he went to the hunt with the father he was great at it and enjoying himself which let us know clearly it wasn't the same person.
Interesting start and we actually got a lot of information in just one episode. Seems our FL lost her memories so will see how she goes from here.
About the double personality of the ML, it is mostly clear when is one (Sajo Hyun) ot the other (Ak Hee) but i think i will like to see it clearer like watching him going to sleep and see the "transformation" so to speak. I guess we probably will see that in next episodes.
The drama is gorgeous, visually all of Yeon Wol dancing was 10/10.
I'm sorry but the story of Bo Gyeom and Cho Young is super boring. I don't really care for it. It was obvious that Seo Won and Hae Na past lives didn't kill her but still, if they did, Bo Gyeom revenge on descendants that don't remember anything doesn't make sense.
And sooo many scenes this episode completely unnecesary, like the uncle barking through the school 🙄🙄🙄
Well i guess we are going to get the cute and fluff back for the last episode but still find that 4 episodes of all this angst were not neccesary.
Why is he still siding with his grandfather even after knowing the truth?
I don't think he is exactly still siding with the grandfather but he is having a hard time proccesing everything that is happening since his grandfather was the one who raised him when her mom die and her father couldn't cope with the lost. So geting to know that the one person who you throught was completely on your side it is actually the one who killed your mom and left you with that trauma is difficult.
