Yup I didn’t list it out in order, but I’m just interested to know if there are more other countries streaming Link. It’s just sad and ridiculous this drama is only available to 9 other countries outside of Korea (if there aren’t any more).
But what vpn are you using btw? I’m also watching via vpn but I can’t connect to Disney+ India even with an Indian server.
How did you guys know the new police officer was the suspected murderer's son before it was revealed? Did I miss…
It wasn't directly mentioned until ep 8 but they laid out clues right from Ep 1.
- When Wontak sees the piano teacher for the "first time" you can tell from both their glances they recognized each other.
- In Ep 3 when Gyehoon attacks Wontak for bothering Dahyun, Gyehoon eventually apologizes and introduces himself. Wontak doesn't accept that apology just exactly the way Gyehoon rejected Dahyun's apology at an earlier ep (a very specific line that tells you it's got to be something they both used to say as children). That scene shows Wontak recognized Gyehoon and there's some bit of animosity to his reaction. Later in the episode we find out someone confessed to Gyehoon the culprit might have been his father aka the piano teacher. Gyehoon got that man arrested but the kid who confessed it also regretted what he did.. The way this sequence of events have been laid out connects Wontak to that kid who confessed to Gyehoon.
- When Wontak beats up the wife abuser and he runs into Gyehoon, you can tell Gyehoon already recognizes who he is by the way he doesn't rat him out to the police.
- Everytime somebody confronts the piano teacher and Wontak sees that, he's the one to immediately jump in and de-escalate the situation.
Given how him and Gyehoon recognized each other, Gyehoon got the piano teacher arrested, Wontak is sensitive whenever the piano teacher is attacked… all these direct to Wontak being the piano teacher's son.
Omg yes! What I really love about this drama are the characters. Everyone has depth that is just waiting to be…
This drama is using so many common k-drama tropes but the writer has a great way of breaking them apart and putting her own twist to things and making all those tropes feel new again.
There's another interesting bit from the character descriptions but it's about Jinhoo. I don't think he's connected…
Omg yes! What I really love about this drama are the characters. Everyone has depth that is just waiting to be explored. Jinhoo's character description is totally interesting and there's more to him than meets the eye.
I really enjoy his character because he's made to look as the usual ML best friend who's often just comic relief, but he's actually a very insightful character who is good at reading people and who's not afraid to call out the ML when he's not doing something right.
I also found Gyehoon's dad to be very suspicious right from the first 2 episodes. All his scenes with Gyehoon…
Yup exactly. It's kinda like the stalker. He was just like a footnote at the end of the character descriptions but he turned out to be a very crucial character in the drama.
For those interested here is the description for Gyehoon's parents. Taken from Link official website and translated…
Gyehoon's Dad (Eun Cheolho)
The director of the "Eun Internal Medicine Clinic," the only hospital in Jihwa-dong. He was a doctor with a good personality and a friendly head of family, but after Eun Gye-young's disappearance, he abandoned her hospital work and housework and wandered around the country in search of his daughter.
For those interested here is the description for Gyehoon's parents. Taken from Link official website and translated…
Gyehoon's Mom (Jang Misook)
Life was always beautiful thanks to wealthy parents, a good husband and good children. One day, when she was a fairly talented florist and attended only her favorite events and was full of volunteers and free lectures, her golden daughter, Gye-young, disappeared.
Poor little son blaming himself. Her husband left home after wandering around the country looking for his daughter. In the face of a life that has been cracked in an instant, Mi-sook does her best to maintain a beautiful life without looking into the wounds of herself and Gye-hoon. With a smile on your face, you eat alone with Gyehun, you spend Children's Day with a smile on your face, and you celebrate Gyehun's birthday with a smile on your face. My life is fine. My life doesn't get ruined as easily as others. How many years have passed like that? For some time, my heart couldn't hold out anymore and broke down, and I became a completely different person as if something had been cut off one day.
As if spewing 10 years of wounds at once, immaturity has suddenly changed. I had all kinds of neurosis such as vitriol, hysteria, and delusion, and I felt so goodThat was so meanA, It became unpredictable and a glass nerve that seemed to break at any moment.
Misuk's daily routine is watching and watching old home videos. The video was taken before the disappearance of the relay, and he is buried in photos and is living like a corpse in the past. While loving his son Gye-hoon like his life, he repeatedly pokes his heart.
i don't want to suspect gyehoon's father in all of this, but based on the absolute mystery that surrounds him…
I also found Gyehoon's dad to be very suspicious right from the first 2 episodes. All his scenes with Gyehoon was just him talking about the twins' connections. He also made them go to tv shows even if Gyehoon was clearly uncomfortable with it.
He may or may not be the main culprit but I also feel like there's something off about him.
As for the parents' job. His dad had a clinic (same place with Gyehoon's resto) and his mom was a florist who happens to be from a very loaded family.
It's quite a slow-burn with push and pull but it's also very in-character and just believable for what the characters have been through so far. Their banters are great and you can see sparks of their chemistry even if we're not at the actual romance scenes yet. They both care for one another and the FL is very open about everything so she always gets to the point when talking to the ML. ML is a walking green flag who feels so much guilt so he can't easily come to terms to his feelings for the FL yet.
Man!!! It was so werid. Throughout the series the strange chef girl told everyone the stalker her brother. She…
She never addressed the stalker as her brother when she was alone. All along we were shown she was talking to a picture frame but it was never shown what's in the picture frame.
She said it's her dongsaeng she misses and dongsaeng is gender-neutral in Korean.
This was a theory I posted here 9 days ago, the reveal did not completely come out of the left field, there were clues:
"I think the stalker is not really Eunjung’s little brother. She is looking for the stalker but I feel like she has a different motive.
Whenever she’s talking to her little brother in her home, we never really see the picture she’s talking to. The only time we see the stalker picture was when she showed it to Dahyun’s fam. All the other instances of her talking to a picture we haven’t really seen who exactly she’s talking to.
I think she plans to have some revenge to the stalker. She thinks Dahyun is stalker’s girlfriend that’s why she doesn’t seem to really like Dahyun."
All I'm saying, they better not make the stalker some kind of victim. He better be in beaten till comatose, dead…
100%!!! I don't want the story to suddenly.. ohh actually he wasn't that bad! It kind of defeats the powerful message that Dahyun has fought for so far.
I'm interested on what his past is and explain his actions. He can be a victim of circumstances, sure. But, I don't want the drama to make it like it would erase or excuse all his previous actions. He needs to be locked up by the end of this drama, no further negotiations.
Is it just me, but I find it weird that there is not much interaction between the cop and his father (as an adult)…
I think he was avoiding his dad on purpose and only comes in when he's being threatened. It was already implied right from the first episode Wontak knows the piano teacher with the way he reacted when he saw him in Ep 1.
out of everything happening in this series i just want to finally know what happened to the sister so i hope we…
I don't think it will be revealed immediately. They shaped it to be the main mystery of the series so I think they will dedicate the entire second half to that. First half was establishing the Jihwadong kids and latter half will be about what actually happened to the sister.
Everyone seems to be frustrated at how the plot's moving but I'm actually amazed at how much the main characters have grown in comparison to the first time we met them in Ep 1.
Ep 3 when the main couple were eating snacks together at the start and there was a counter separating them and they were feeling awkward that they couldn't even do a simple toast and now in Ep 7 they're sitting together with Gyehoon sharing food from his plate to Dahyun.
Ep 5 allowed Gyehoon to start processing his grief for the first time since his sister disappeared. His link with Dahyun gave him an excuse to release some of the pent-up loneliness he's had for years. We got to know how hard it had been for him all those years since his sister disappeared.
Ep 7 is some major development with Dahyun too and how she faced that piece of shameless scum. Ep 1 Dahyun ran until her life was put in mortal peril. Ep 7 Dahyun was brave enough to face the stalker head on and put him in his place.
It's not going to be easy for them to come to terms with their feelings (Gyehoon in particular) because they are coming from different levels of emotional openness which I find to be very in-character. Dahyun grew up loved by her family while Gyehoon basically only had himself to rely on. His mother was unstable and his father was absent. He grew up rejecting any sort of romantic affection directed at him because in reality, he still hasn't fully processed his grief.
How is it so far, much romance, how's the chemistry, any love triangles?
I like it a lot. There’s a mix of genres but they all blend seamlessly into the drama. There’s romance, fantasy, mystery, drama, and comedy and the writer has managed to combine all elements well into the drama imo.
No love triangle. There’s the main leads couple and the second leads who have their own ship going on.
Romance is being built up bit by bit for the leads and not rushed so they are developing feelings for each other at a believable pace. Chemistry between the leads is great.
Yesss I really wanna see them be mutually in love 😭 I bet it's gonna be one of those cases where girl falls…
This is what angers me so much about HDL. I understand his role there is a love interest but his character is still SO UNDERDEVELOPED AF. His narrative in the story is so bland which is frustrating because he’s such a good, positive and healthy kdrama male lead. We don’t even really get to know him as a character outside of Manwol. They made him a perfect man with no flaws (well aside from being scared of the ghosts which he overcomes immediately at the beginning of the show). He’s just not fleshed out at all. Yeo Jin Goo had to invent so many things about Goo Chansung because the script gave him nothing. He even added some subtle stuff not in the script like wiping Manwol’s tears, etc. Korean viewers often said it was Yeo Jin Goo’s acting that carried Goo Chansung’s narrative because his story was just really lacking.
He had so much appearance in the drama but his appearance was mostly just plot device to introduce ghost of the week and give Manwol character development. Even the story of his mom as a ghost was just very, very briefly touched upon and was only shown to us to teach Manwol a lesson. Even them falling in love was not developed well at all and after they were already in love Hong Sisters expected us to believe that they won’t make the most of being together before saying goodbye?
This is why I’m loving Link so much with both leads being developed well. It makes me root for them individually and together.
