Twenty-Five Twenty-One?

Be serious kids

ooh HOW did I not know about this?? sounds so fun

???

broadcast, noun: a radio or television programme or transmission

does seol inah play the cello irl? this is the second time I've seen her play a cellist

The way I saw it NSH had feelings for his long-term friend but didn't act on them because he felt like he didn't deserve the relationship with her but I get what you mean

same thing with at a distance spring is green

I absolutely hate it when dramas do this

so a 23 y/o and a 37 y/o

great

only the first?

I, an australian, just found out that this drama is originally swedish and NOT australian, wow

this sounds interesting

I agree that it was symbolic. If he was actually deserting he wouldn't have done it in plain sight.

it's an inherently political show... it's literally about the ethics of conscription and related societal issues

it's pretty common for couples to make cameos in another drama or for one half of a couple to appear in the other half's drama

it's just a fun in-joke for the audience

not the vibe I was originally expecting when I first heard about this drama lol

it's a soap, not a mini — it checks out

If you're interested, dr romantic 2 has an episode about this with a man in poverty who loses his leg and hospital playlist also has an ongoing plot about a funding scheme for patients who can't afford treatments

sk isn't as bad though because healthcare is actually a lot cheaper and more accessible there

you can probably watch season 2 without watching season 1, they're relatively self-contained seasons

as for season 3, who knows yet

hmmmm now that you point it out about the dad, I can kind of see it

I like this theory, I hope you're right

but I also wouldn't mind the parallel of both tk and his dad raising someone else's baby as their own

that's so true about AoS, I think I barely noticed it because it was more of a "reincarnation" plot

the most common tropes include:

- the mingling of high-income and low-income households
- amnesia (it's usually a way of elongating the plot by setting back the progress a couple have made OR preventing a character from remembering a key piece of information like who a culprit is or who their family is)
- birth twists/secrets/long-lost relatives/"dead" people coming back
- surprise pregnancies
- big financial losses due to investments/scams/etc
- controlling mothers/MILs who make relationships difficult (this is the most common imo)
- sudden and serious illness (usually cancer)
- jealous SFL who does really extreme things to win over the male lead or harm the FL
- double/triple in-laws

overall, most family dramas take 2-3 families from different walks of life and jumble all of the family members and the people in their lives together — the characters and their storylines will all be connected in some way and they'll slowly realise this as the episodes go on, which creates more and more complications
