I am wondering where the love part in the title came from?? Was it a bad translation or a mistake when naming the drama?

The drama is called 사당보다 먼 의정부보다 가까운.
사당 means shrine, not love. The word for love is 사랑. So here I am wondering if they mistakenly added a ㄷinstead of a ㄹ or if the problem was with the translation.

Oh so they meet when he is already married. I thought they might have met even before he got married and had a kid and then later after he gets divorced. Since you say brief encounter and he got divorced soon after, I am ok with it. I dont like when dramas try to create romance between people when 1 or both of them are still married or in a relationship with someone else.

Yeah. That is also a possibility, which is why I said it might be 1 of the brothers that leaves instead of her. I doubt it will be the older brother because he is way too selfish. So it will be either her or ji soo’s character.

I have only watched 5 episodes of Dance of the Phoenix so far but from what I heard, I doubt this one can have a worse ending.

That would be the cherry on top of a really messy cake. LOL

I guess you already finished it. I knew it was in the last episode but if I said when it was I would be giving away a major plot point - that the female lead is still alive 10 years later. XD

Also a possibility, just to make things even more dramatic.

Can someone give me a short description of the story? Is he divorced and with a kid? Do they meet years prior and then again after he divorces or do they meet for the first time in the timeline most of the story happens?

I dont mind spoilers since I am not even sure if I will watch it or not.

Female lead marries the older brother, he gets into some sort of accident and everyone thinks he is dead or something, but of course the second female lead is aware of this, he wakes up and has amnesia and she pretends they are a thing.

Meanwhile the female lead is consoled by the younger brother and they find comfort in each other and finally she ends up reciprocating his feelings. The older brother gets into another accident, hits his head OR sees a familiar scene and suddenly gets his memory back. He then tries to get back to his wife but by now she loves the younger brother. Still, she is conflicted about who to choose and in the end decides it is better for everyone else if she leaves....or 1 of the 2 brothers does. Anyway, someone will play the selfless act and "sacrifice" for "everyone’s sake".

The older brother, suddenly, in a moment of selflessness, that does not match his character at all, gives up and tells his brother to go after the female lead. After years apart, the younger brother finds the female lead in some foreign country or rural place in South Korea and they get back together. THE END

P.S. - I really hope I am completely off and this is not what will happen. And I am sorry if I ruined it for you, but I have been watching dramas for a decade and I have a gut feeling it is going towards that direction.

I have not watched episode 4 yet but from the preview at the end of episode 3 and some spoilers I read, let me guess what this whole drama will be about:

Has the last episode aired? Here it says it aired 3 days ago but I have not been able to find it anywhere.

If you go back to my comment you will see it was a reply to someone else’s comment. And I talk about THAT drama, not THIS drama. I was talking about Love and Redemption, which was supposed to air on Kukan YouTube channel but never did. And that thankfully it was being subbed by someone.

This drama, as far as I know, is not being subbed by anyone.

If I remember correctly there is only 1 but I cannot tell you when or it would be a huge spoiler.

If you have watched as far as episode 16, you might as well watch until the end so some loose ends can be tied. There were still some things that were not properly explained, but overall they managed to wrap up the story well.

The end is bittersweet so get some tissues ready. I cried a lot while watching the last 2 episodes.

Overall this is not a bad drama. I liked the characters and their stories. I just think it lacked consistency in some parts and it could have been better written.

This whole drama could be explained by the lyrics of a song in my native language. "Mas quem será, mas quem será, mas quem será, o pai da criança..."

Which in English would be something like "Who could it be, who could it be, who could it be, the father of the child...".

I mean, it is pretty obvious who it is since the beginning but the writers pretend it isnt and think we are all wondering who it is.

And that ending was ridiculous. It could have been a good addition if they had exchanged the position of 2 of the characters. What they did implied that even after many years he was still not fully accepted as the father and the mother is still holding the position of mother&father. I am sure the writers thought that ending was great....it wasnt.

Overall, this drama is below average for me. I was more interested in the kids and some supporting characters rather than the main leads story, which honestly was meh.

Yeah. I guess they had already planed things in a certain way but then the drama was censored and they were forced to remove any scenes explaining her origins so the drama could air. No idea. I have not finished the drama yet. Read the ending is a joke and dont feel like continuing at least for now.

Eu fiquei com essa impressão depois de assistir o trailer. Como se parte do drama fosse interessante e depois ficasse tudo mais dramático. Eu não suporto quando um drama tem muitos flashbacks e 65 episódios é demais para este tipo de enredo. Acho que vou saltar. Obrigada por ajudar a decidir. ^^

It is because of the bans in China. A lot of dramas had scenes cut that explained the whole thing and became confusing because of that.

Sure. Let me just go cook something that takes several hours to make and when its time to eat I will just throw it in the garbage, cause the "ending is not important, its ALL about the process". I feel like hitting whoever thought this was a good idea.

hahah close. I gave it a 4.5, just because 5 is considered "good" and this definitely wasnt. XD
