1st part is about them mistranslating eachother.2nd part is about him learning her language through her past,…
Netflix's translation adding more confusion.

in short,
1.) Ho-Jin thought that Mu-Hee's feeling to him is not genuine.
2.) Ho-Jin told Mu-Hee that he have move on from Ji-Seon.

Ho-Jin is already moved-on from Ji-Seon. He said it to Mu-Hee, that is why she cried later on, knowing her insecure feeling led her mistaken the situation and blabbering to make things worse.

Ho-Jin already open his heart, and about to move to next chapter with Mu-Hee.

But he thought Mu-Hee's effort is manythings except genuine feeling. He thought her effort is just to regain her pride after previous Ho-Jin's rejection.

He thought her effort is just to satisfy her curiousity about him after his rejection, something like her ego made her did it, not her heart.

While Ho-Jin is really genuine with her, he is just about to close his horror romance with Ji-Seon, just to be played by Mu-Hee.

to make it more complicated between them two, Mu-Hee's language usually contradictive with her meaning, or how she feel. While Ho-Jin is type of person who take words as literal meaning, he can't read emotion underneath it.

Once again, both speak same literal language, but different emotional language.

WTF IS SHE DOING IN EPISODE 8. im actually so pissed off right now i thought this was going to be good but the…
1st part is about them mistranslating eachother.
2nd part is about him learning her language through her past, trauma, anxiety, etc. it's like 2 different vibes, but its good storytelling.

both attracted to eachother, both speak same language, but they keep mistranslate it. So us audience saw it as push and pull along the show.

oh and between those 2 part, Ho-Jin begin to speak her language when he agree that they saw "rainbow".
Ho-Jin also try to speak her language when he simply threw words to encourage her, rather than explaining scientific things about aurora.

In ep07 they having conversation about their last conversation in Canada (end of ep06 that you questioning?).

end of ep10 is when he is finally able to learn her language.

your personal taste,
1) "I hated how long the FL chased the ML"
2) "I really don’t like the trope where someone is secretly or unrequitedly in love for years and never does anything about it"
prevent you to look deeper.

if you dissect her, she is more than cute or tolerable.
if you dissect him, he is more than pathetic.

The first time they meet, they crossing the railtrack together. When they got sepearated, the railtrack is between…
I mean the railtrack after their 1st meeting in Japan.
There are 3 railtracks during their 1st meeting.
1st railtrack is about them beginning journey together (move on from previous chapter of their relationship).
2nd railtracks is about them being together (bonding).
3rd is about them on the crosspath (go back to previous, or continue new chapter with new person).

their 2nd meeting is also in Japan, it's when she ask him to the doctor. im sure i saw train and railtrack.

then like you mentioned, one in Canada.

and there is still more of it, i just don't remember.

but i do remember his closing about zombie romance. He met with Ji-Seon in a train to Busan, and he comfortably speak his feeling to her in the past.

They advertise this drama as romance, which it is, but it borderline on a psychological strange concept. This…
the back and forth are necessary, because that is where they lost in translation. (But it does annoying for us, viewer.)

in the end, Ho-Jin able to speak in Mu-Hee's language, eventho Mu-Hee still hard to understand his. Because between them two, Ho-Jin is the one with skillset to dissect and learn new language.

Ho-Jin's confession sentence is confusing, because that reflect his way of thinking, realistic way. But then he use Mu-Hee's language : kiss.

rewatch it, at episode 07.
After their heartbreak conversation in episode 06, when Mu Hee visit Ho-Jin's house by writer Kim's invitation.

During conversation between Mu-Hee and Ho-Jin when cooking. Mu-Hee metaphorically use boiling water as early phase of cooking as their current situation : they're not even begin with, it's just started heating.

Then Ho-Jin in literally cooking activities, he shut down the stove, but Mu-Hee once again use it as metaphor for their relation, expect him not to shut their fire (relationship) down, yet.

When Ho-Jin said "it's just water with kelp. There is nothing to it, really". That's how he thought of Mu-Hee's feeling to him (meaningless, nothing serious). Then Mu-Hee annoyed with him, because she is serious, and answered to him in direct word that she kissed him (he mean something to her).

This convo is explaining about each other feeling during their time in Canada, but once again, the filmmaker use indirect language so some of us probably failed to catch what happened with him in Canada.

But yes, that conversation between them at the end of episode 06 is quite confusing.

PS.
When Ho-Jin shut down the stove to let kelp cooling before seasoning, it's also metaphorically describe their story later. They need their relationship too cool down before seasoning and finally become delicious meal.

I just finished this drama, and honestly, it was a decent watch, but it had way too many tropes I really dislike,…
1st : it's you
2nd : it's you
3rd : it's you

all that reasons you said, begin with "i", it's your pov, you failed to see their pov. you failed to translate this drama.

Can someone answer why the fls mother wanted to kill the dad n her kid? I think I missed the part where this was…
FL's dad is about to break their relationship, but FL's mom use pregnancy to keep him. They never have a marriage.

And when they are already a family with Mu-Hee, i think FL's dad is about to leave her again, or their relationship isn't happy one. So her crazy thought is : "if she can't have him, let die together when they still a family".

I guess Mu-Hee have that kind of obsessive thought passed down from her mom.

Can someone explain ep 6? what does ML meant in his conversation with her at the crossroad after he chased after…
Ho-Jin are already moved on from Ji-Seon, he already open his heart and is about to begin new chapter with Mu-Hee. But he thought Mu-Hee's effort is not genuine enough, he thought her effort is just to regain her pride after Ho-Jin's previous rejection.

He thought her effort is manything else except genuine feeling. That hurt him, because he seriously is open his heart for her.

Mu-Hee's word manytimes is contradictive with her feeling (and so is most women), and Ho-Jin is type person whom take everyone word as literal meaning (and so is most men). That is where them two lost in translation.

Ohh, and Ho-Jin is already about to cross that railtrack when in Japan. He is about to move on from Ji-Seon when he met Mu-Hee.

All of this just to find out that her parents are alive. So the crazy her was her version of her mother and they…
the crazy her is actually her, some part of crazy gene passed down from her mother.
When she visited a doctor in Japan with Ho-Jin translating her words, she lied that none of her family have somekind of disorder or mental illness. She can't speak the truth, because Ho-Jin, someone she liked, will heard it.
Her aunt and uncle are affraid of her, because she have similarities with her mother, not just her look, but probably some of her behavior.

Mu-Hee that we meet is the mask that she made over time.

She know she is partly crazy, that is why she is hesitant to tell Ho-Jin. She is affraid Ho-Jin can't accept that part of her.

just for fun. impulsive her (Do Rami) after heartbreak during long flight from Canada to east Asia.

meaningless.

even as Do Rami, she spent her time in Italy with Ho-Jin, never she call Hiro to accompany her.
even in her subconscious, she never thought of Hiro, it's always Ho-Jin.

i love how theatrical this is, i can totally see this as a play- the involvement of dorami elevated the show sooo…
actual Mu Hee is the crazy one, (probably) it passed down from her mom. Her aunt and uncle know the crazy side of her mom, that's why they scared of Mu Hee.
insecure persona formed after the accident when she learned to hide, to runaway, to be accepted by her aunt and uncle, then to be accepted by society.
Overtime it created Mu Hee that we know.

Insecure Mu Hee still have that spontaneous, and impulsive behavior.

Well, done! Bravo! Bellissimo! I think if everyone goes in with the mindset of your "typical" romance…
yes, the first part of the drama is about them failed to translate each other language.
the second part is about him trying his best to learn her language.

between those part, Mu-Hee actually teach Ho-Jin her language.

When Ho-Jin agree that they saw the "waterfall", he begin to speak her language.
When Mu-Hee told him how to respond their slim chance to see aurora, he awkwardly copy her. He begin to learn her languange.

Ho-Jin's language is always realistic, sometimes it sound too harsh for Mu-Hee who seek comfort, sometimes it just too hard for her to understand. It's easier for her if he just hold her hand, hug her, or kiss her, not a realistic or scientific sentence.

Mu-Hee's language is too complex for Ho-Jin who can't read emotion underneath. if he heard someone said A, he took it as A. But woman's language never like that, if a woman said A, it could be 21.

Like if Mu-Hee encourage Ho-Jin to chase Ji-Seon, actually Mu-Hee expect Ho-Jin to stay and be with Mu-Hee, sometimes it totally opposites!

They are attracted to each other since their first meeting. But they failed to understand each other, that is why we keep seeing it as push and pull between them.
