When you understand him, and her, or when you have completely watching it, you'll understand why she never look…
i'll tell you how i see it.
1.) Mu-Hee is craved for love. Because of her past, she need someone who really love her, care for her. Before she falling to Ho-Jin, she in relationship with the chef. That chef who left Mu-Hee to marry a pregnant woman.
That chef have kindness to the point he marry a woman with a child from other dude. What chef did to Mu-Hee is wrong, but he have that level of kindness to woman.
Then he meet a stranger who have deep impression to her : Ho-Jin. Their meeting in Japan is meaningfull for her, she mentioned in interview that the stranger he randomly meet in Japan is an amazing person to the point it made her heart pounding
Then she fell to coma for 6 months.
When she wake up, she is really happy to reunited again with Ho-Jin.
When they walk together after interviews, they shared a moment, just a simple kindness from Ho-Jin to lend his scarf so Mu-Hee didn't catch cold.
During her comatose period, Ho-Jin keep coming to hospital to see Mu-Hee. After knowing this, Mu-Hee sees some level of kindness in Ho-Jin.
She is attracted to him.
2.) None of us want that the person who we like, knowing something that we keep as secret. it can be something silly, sin in the past, crime, etc. We cant let the person we like knowing that kind of stuff, because we affraid it'll change the way that person see us.
Mu-Hee can't share her deepest darkest past to anyone. You know with whom she share her secret she buried so deep?
To someone she like.
She didn't want to share it, but in the end she share it to Ho-Jin. When she able to share her burden, Do Rami is finally gone. She finally find some comfort to share story that she keep so deep, without being judged by Ho-Jin.
3.) Mu-Hee is the mask. Mu-Hee is the mask to wear so society see her as normal person. Mu-He restrict herself so society can accept her, this related to her past trauma living with her uncle and aunt.
Mu-Hee probably shared some her burden to her previous ex : the chef. That is why the pregnant lady called Mu-Hee as a miserable woman. Probably that pregnant woman heard Mu-Hee's story from the chef.
Do Rami spiling Mu-Hee's darkest deepest secret not by accident, because actually Mu-Hee want to share it with Ho-Jin. But she affraid that Ho-Jin will reject her like everybody else. Without hesitation, Do Rami tell Mu-Hee's secret, so when that secret is shared, the burden is gone, and so is Do Rami.
Next, Mu-Hee never have any secret to keep from Ho-Jin, that is why Hiro surprised that Mu-Hee told Ho-Jin that somewhere in the past, they have kissed. That is why her aunt also surprised.
4.) Hiro is attracted to Mu-Hee the celebrity. He begin attracted to her, because he saw her glowing, her attractive part. You know why she is glowing when around Hiro? Because she heard Ho-Jin's voice translating their conversation.
Hiro never knew the darkside of Mu-Hee. Do you think he will capable to handle her? Hiro's narcistic side probably can't.
And Mu-Hee never attracted to someone narcistic like Hiro.
Mu-Hee only attracted to someone kind, because she craved for genuine care.
True, Hiro have his own kindness, like how he interact with her nephew. But it's not in the same level as Ho-Jin, or even the chef.
That is how i interprete this story, and why Mu-Hee will always see Ho-Jin. Hiro is just a support character in her eyes.
WOW I never seen DID in Korean drama it’s so awesome!
Dear Hyeri came in 2024 i guess. it's some sort have similarities with Can This Love Be Translated. Both are melodrama, complex character, many scene have meaning. It just but....
I put off this show because I lost hope in romcom Kdramas. But i'm on episode 4 and this show brought back feelings…
1.) it's not romcom, it's melodrama. So you can adjust you expectation.
2.) the stories are deep, layered, some are metaphorical. That is why review are mixed. Some audience can see what the meaning then called it beautifull, poetic. Some failed to see the meaning, just see what is on the shells then called it as boring,tourism ads, brand marketing, etc.
Would love to know what you thought when you complete it.
I love the train imageries..of course the first separation at the track is the best
The first time they meet, they crossing the railtrack together. When they got sepearated, the railtrack is between them. Train and railtrack appeared again in some occasion, but i forgot when and what is the meaning.
in real convo he should have cut her speak, and speak his mind, then grab her hand.but yeah.from his pov that…
No, you're not.
1) probably there is something with Netflix 's translation. 2) they both speak in different language.
Ho-Jin is melancholy, overthinking, he see everything in realistic way. So when someone said A, he read it as A. He cant read people's emotion from their words, he just read it as it is.
his realistic way prevent him to see "waterfall" that Mu-Hee saw.
his realistic way of speaking can be sound harsh for other people.
But he didn't always speak his mind.
Mu-Hee is more complex. just like almost every woman in real life, when they speak A, it can be translated as 21. when woman said to their spouse that he can go to meet his friends, she actually expected her spouse to not to go meet his friend. she expected her spouse to be with her.
first part of the series is about them keep on mistranslate eachother. second part of the series is about Ho-Jin to try hard to learn her languange, with the help of Do Rami.
between those two part, Mu-Hee actually teach Ho-Jin her language.
When Ho-Jin agree that he saw the "waterfall" it's him begin to speak her language.
Mu-Hee literally teach him, when she is disappointed knowing they have almost no chance to see the aurora, instead of speak in realistic way, Mu-Hee told Ho-Jin to speak to lift her spirit.
Ho-Jin's realistic thinking prevent him to be romantic. In the end, he learned this skill.
Instead of saying the flat way that he want to back to Seoul after done meeting in Busan, he said he want to immediately return to Seoul because he want to see Mu-Hee.
Conversation at the end of episode 06 is happen again, twice. in episode 10 on stairs in Italy, and when in episode 11, when Mu-Hee affraid her celeb status can be a burden for Ho-Jin. But on that two occasion, Ho-Jin able to understand her and give the answer that comforting Mu-Hee.
because of someone's comment here, i rewatch again.
in episode 2, when she reunited again with Ho-Jin in an interview. I can feel her happy feeling passing through the screen. It really touching.
His deep voice, someone voice that she recognize, suddenly can be heard behind her.
She keep smiling during interview, she try to peek on him, flustered and keep on smiling. Her meeting with Ho-Jin in Japan have deep impression to her, she said that in the interview. This all really set the tone for the rest of this show.
Hiro fell for the sunshine, glowing happy girl not knowing she is glowing because of the man speaking in her ears…
Nice one, never thought of that Hiro only see her as Mu-Hee the celebrity. Her bright side attracted him, he never know her dark side.
But, other than that, the show have made it very clear what kind of person Mu-Heel will fall for.
She craved for love, she attracted to someone kind. True that Hiro have kindness part, the show tell us through his interaction with his nephew. But his kindness is not in the same level as Ho-Jin, who checking on her while she is coma in hospital for 6 months.
Maybe Hiro's kindness isn't the same level with the chef who left Mu-Hee to marry a pregnant woman, knowing it's not even his kid. What he did to Mu-Hee is wrong, but he have kindness to raise other dude's kid.
Sure its solely my assumption that he have more kindness that attracted Mu-Hee, it just the show didn't tell us. It just begin with her searching her ex across the sea, after being ghosted for about 3 months.
Because of her past when she is a kid, she craved for love.
Hiro's narcistic side won't suit her.
In episode two. We all can feel how happy she is when she reunited with Ho-Jin again. Their first meeting in Japan, even it short, really have have deep impression to her.
i paused after 1st episode, because its so good, i want to keep it for later watch.
a day later, out of curiosity, want just to take a peek for 2nd episode. can't stop from there. its not in my plan to spent a night to finish this drama XD
I'm at the end of EP6 and the conversation they had before leaving Canada was so weird. Like why didn't he just…
in real convo he should have cut her speak, and speak his mind, then grab her hand.
but yeah.
from his pov that time, Ho-Jin is already moved on from Ji-Seon, he is started to open his heart for Mu-Hee. but.... with Mu-Hee's reaction, he thought that she isn't really into him, like her effort is just to feed her curiosity. After previous Ho-Jin's rejection, he thought that she approached him just to win over Do Rami. He thought her effort is just to save her own dignity after his rejection. No genuine feeling.
we should open specific thread about this conversation from episode 6
Hahahaha, so many ppl in the audience are duped... this is not a real kdrama.. it is Hollywood witih Asian actors...…
ironic that you mentioned about young people doing egoistical things, then you speak your opinion but ask other people not to reply yours to counter your opinion.
well im just informing you, so that you know, that you just wanted to be heard. or just attention seeker.
I always thought it was cute and funny. but it wasn't funny when she missed her flight just to go find him, and…
she left airport to meet to Ho-Jin before Ho-Jin able to speak to Ji-Seon.
i forgot, maybe to confirm Ho-Jin about his feeling to Mu-Hee. They kind of bonding since the northern lights till on the way on airport.
She kind of jump first think later. She hope to meet Ho-Jin before he meet Ji-Seon.
So when she saw Ho-Jin talk to Ji-Seon, she felt she failed her mission (the reason she ran away from airport to begin with). Then she don't know what to do, then her head started to make assumption. Then Do Rami appeared to make things worse.
1.) Mu-Hee is craved for love.

can't stop from there. its not in my plan to spent a night to finish this drama XD
but yeah.
from his pov that time, Ho-Jin is already moved on from Ji-Seon, he is started to open his heart for Mu-Hee.
but....

we should open specific thread about this conversation from episode 6
so which one is you? want to be heard? or attention seeker?
since you threat to block me, im assuming the first one.
well im just informing you, so that you know, that you just wanted to be heard. or just attention seeker.
i forgot, maybe to confirm Ho-Jin about his feeling to Mu-Hee. They kind of bonding since the northern lights till on the way on airport.
She kind of jump first think later. She hope to meet Ho-Jin before he meet Ji-Seon.
So when she saw Ho-Jin talk to Ji-Seon, she felt she failed her mission (the reason she ran away from airport to begin with). Then she don't know what to do, then her head started to make assumption. Then Do Rami appeared to make things worse.
she felt little so she try to please everyone, remember that she almost fail to have the job.
