I am enjoying this show, but really struggling to ship the main couple. She just seems too immature for him. Loving…
:) It's true. I guess I just see her as a kid, so the relationship is a little weird for me. Hoping I'll be convinced of their romantic compatibility as the show progresses.
I'm not generally a fan of this trope, especially when they just throw it in like an afterthought (Shopping King Louis). It only really appeals to me when it serves to drive the story (I Hear Your Voice). Thanks for this article!
Thank you for writing this. You convinced me to watch It's Okay, That's Love. More importantly, thanks for sharing a little about your life.
I've been married to the love of my life for fifteen years. He is the smartest, funniest, most supportive, most generous person I've ever known. He is bipolar. When we met, I was immediately attracted to his personality, so unlike my own. I was tragically quiet. He was always the center of attention and able to talk to anyone. He told me he was bipolar, but I had no clue what that really meant until a couple years down the road, when I was considering leaving because I couldn't emotionally handle his anger and self-destructive behavior by myself. I finally confessed this during one of those increasingly frequent scenes of me sobbing and him threatening to kill himself while looking at me with eyes I didn't recognize.
After his initial bad experience with psychiatrists and medications while in his teens, followed by over a decade of various "self-medication" and never seeing a doctor, he finally agreed to try again. We both look back and think that he'd probably be dead now if he hadn't started on the mood stabilizer. Not that medication fixes everything. We still have the infrequent moments when we lose him for a few hours -- he has memory loss during particularly bad episodes -- but he says now his brain feels less "fuzzy" and the drugs grant him a window of warning, allowing him to grasp control and generally stave off an episode before it completely overtakes him. I've also learned how to best help him when it gets bad.
I'm rambling, but I guess I just want you to know that things can become more and more stable over the course of your life. My husband says that in his twenties, he never expected to make it to forty. But he recently has, and now he no longer thinks he'll kill himself.
The other big thing that has helped us is the fact that my husband has finally gotten to the point where he shares this part of himself with good friends. After years of being crushed under the social stigma of mental illness and feeling like this was some personal failing instead of a medical condition that was in no way his fault, he is now much more open about it. It took a lot of the pressure off both of us. Now we have a group of friends we can turn to for support.
You seem so open and brave and self-reflective. It sounds like you are far ahead of where we were fifteen years ago. I know it's a ton of work. And I know that I'm only glimpsing the periphery and can't even begin to understand the half of it. But I hope you continue to be honest and I hope that you ask for help when you need it. We are all human. We all need help sometimes. Keep loving. Keep accepting love.
Kim Hyun Joong was charged by police and fined for domestic abuse against his girlfriend. Kim himself publicly…
Thank you for this comment. I too was concerned, to say the least, with seeing this article on a site populated by so many young women and girls. Two women very close to me have been in abusive relationships. There is no excuse for it.
Does anyone know the song that was playing during the bus ride in ep 2
Jung In is singing and I think the song is produced by Gray & Jay Park. Someone on youtube says the title is "While Living" http://youtu.be/tJdS6RwGs5s

DMC - definitely my type of thing! I stayed up way too late last night and laughed way too hard. I especially lost it when he drove around on the tractor. Thanks for the recommendation and thanks for being my new drama friend!
I am loving this show! I needed a new drama to obsess over and watch as soon as it's subbed. I think this is it. Please, please let me continue to love this one. I've been tending to nearly get to the end and then lose interest and drop shows lately.
Thanks for the recommendations. I was feeling slumpy and had recently dropped several dramas (Love Rain was actually one of them). But after reading this, I marathoned Tatta Hitotsu no Koi. I cried during several episodes. Oh, my heart! I loved it.
So glad mdl added reality/variety shows.
Loving every scene the Grim Reaper is in though! He is carrying this show for me right now and I can't wait to see where his story goes.
