I loved that sjae don't take advantage on jhoo about being yuna's ex-boyfriend. he seems to have matured a lot.

so, the 2 pregnancies are 5 weeks long... which means that kae didn't make any conception dream about mirae's pregnancy. that's sad... in the case the 1st conception dream was mirae's one, she might have twins (it was 2 peaches).

how to tell people you are pregnant?
hyunmi: I feel so bad for yoonhae, how can we tell this to them?
yoonhae: they stole my thunder.
I really dislike narcissistic people, they are so good at sucking joy out of anything, even of 2 pregnancies!

I love the character but the actress doesn't suit it. I am not sure she doesn't act well because of a youtube's video shared last week... I think that the director or the montage make wrong call. I nearly think now that this is made on purpose because it is too big to be random or a mistake.

the scene when hjae proposed to mirae was filmed here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkkOS0jJQ8

they had so many wonderful images of mirae laughing and smiling widely. hyunmi obviously enjoyed each other and the chemistry was there.
but all we got was this:
ep 35; 1h1min55sec to 1h3min30sec
the montage just show scenes where she is not as lively as in the youtube's video. so you compare and you make your own decision.

that's not the first time I notice it, but k people have the weirdest way to end their phone call. sometimes they actually say "I cut now", but most of time they just hang up. if I was on the other end of the call I would have been sooo surprised!

I am watching it now (ep 10) and was a little upset about some things which is why I decided to read some more reviews now (yes I am the odd kind). for the cheese part, I don't agree because for me being cheesy like you say is just being honest: and I don't appreciate people who lie or hide their feelings (like she does) even if I understand that our society teaches us this.

he is just honest and that makes absolutely sens: his job is to be in danger, he can die anytime, he cannot afford the ultimate lux to lie to the ones he loves. he has literally no time for that. for me, they don't fight so much and she doesn't run so much, because she is just normal. she is not cheesy, she thinks she has all the time of the universe to date, fall in love and marry. this difference is the reason why they seem to be fighting all the time, and why she seems to run away.

I love their love story, but I agree on the lack of script: they just go from places to places, bumping into events and accidents. like randomly. that's what made me upset and I now know that this wont change... so let be it...

stop browsing on the internet, grand-ma!

they are just taking previews to an other level... soon we will be saying "in my time previews were supposed to tell you what was coming on the next episode" and we will be told "stop talking like grand-ma"...

I stopped watching the previews. not worth my time.

I think that hjae will be happier in his in-laws family than in his own. they are all very much more independent and responsible than his own parents and siblings... except the awful grand-ma.

that leaves so few time for the last son to conquer yuna. I gave up the hope that yuna will end up with jhoo. we are clearly heading to a happy ending in sjae-yuna relationship. the problem is, kae (the mom) really dislike yuna now...

if you mixed the episodes you cannot appreciate a story. it changes everything. you cannot feel the pressure if you already know the outcomes. it's like reading spoilers. it ruins the story...

ep 44
ha! haej's narcissism kicks in again. she wants to be the first and the better in everything, even if that means stepping on someone else's toes.

she wants yjae to demand respect from his younger brothers, and have no interest in the balance of his family. you cannot ask for a change without risking the harmony of the relationship. and as yjae said, he has no stamina to be the older brother. she wants to be the one giving the best gift and get upset when she realizes that mirae does it way better! she is so annoying! nothing is spontaneous with her, she is always comparing what she thinks she worth to the other people. she is a calculator.

I loved the cute moment hjae had with his in-laws. they were so charming cooking together!

so things are moving ahead between sjae and yuna. I don't like this couple because I always think that sjae lack some maturity to be in a couple. he just learned how to take care of himself. he is rising from his scam and will certainly have no time or energy to help yuna having her own business. he has no experience in that field either. she would be so much better with jhoo who is settled and have plenty experience in selling food. but what can we do if the chemistry isn't there...

I found the last 2 episodes boring actually. they put so much pressure in the 37th-41st episodes that I lost interest in the day to day adventures. the writer made a big mistake. I didn't watch the previews this time. mirae's ex hasn't come back yet (will he? and what for?) and I am tired about the never coming dramas they always announce. these mind games are tiring for the nerves and do not serve the appreciation of the drama: 2nd mistake.

the cutter one is yjae. he is more responsible and committed than his wife. I think she doesn't realize how tricky a late pregnancy can be.

my point is:
talking about leagues even when personality (appearance, health, mental strength, stamina, religion/spirituality, sensitivity, etc.) is on line, is comparing people as you could compare merchandises. there is no league whatever the reason.

ep 43
I realize now that when a drama becomes more dramatic it is difficult to switch back into lighter concerns. all their arguing are just childish and annoying for me because I was too obsessed about things going wrong, like really wrong (the death truck's honk in preview).

I don't like when people talk about leagues and compare human beings like merchandises.

also, what you have, your credentials or diplomas don't matter when relationships are concerned. what matters is how you weigh in your partner’s life. if you make him/her a better person, you ARE the right partner. period.

and regarding this, yuna already proved she is more than capable to turn sjae and jhoo in a better person: she turned scammer-sjae in a more honest and brave person, and robot-jhoo in a more warm person.

this being said, I don't like her. this character is just annoying for me. but I don't under-estimate her.

it made me realize the director made the wrong choices while cutting the scenes.

it's very interesting because you can see by yourself that the director made the choice to cut all the scenes where mirae is natural and enjoying herself. all the scenes she is in are displaying an introverted and shy character.

yes, mirae's mom adopted mother died.

you see, I cannot say for sure because of that.
oh, wait... perhaps are you right because she dealt with her grand-ma's death and the pain of her mother. and yet she seemed to be a little bit off all the time which lead to think she was dealing with superficial matters...
the way she handled the break up reinforced that feeling.
yes perhaps is the actress the actual problem. because during the funeral even though hjae did nothing either, he was worried and it showed.

I am not even paying any attention to the great-aunt and her family anymore. because the lee family chose to keep them close to them. they share their house with them and they don't get angry at any of their abuse. so I came to think that they like it in a way or an other.
