Episode 15 was bad writing. I didn't have issues with 16 so much or how it ended. I took it as a happy ending.…
I guess they could've elaborated on the issue more, but I found her reaction to be actually very understandable. yes, her mother did spend 7 years in jail, but her mother also didn't consider her feelings at all. HW never to me came across as being actually extremely heartbroken over her father, but more over how everything escalated. if i remember correctly she did say that she knew her mother wasn't alright but that she was struggling because she didn't know what to do as it was her father. over 10 years had passed and at this point she couldn't do anything about her mother spending 7 years in prison, however they could've chosen to explain it all to her, instead her mother was even rejecting all her letters. I dunno I'd felt betrayed too. HW was starving for a family and her aunt was all she had and then everything seemed to be a lie. personally, I think it was very understandable that HW considered her own feelings first, because from the beginning on she was left to handle her own emotions and thoughts anyway, since no one bothered to explain things to her. that's why I actually don't see any of it as a writing issue.
I've watched all the aired episode so far, but I still can't seem to begin to like the badminton player. He's…
yeah, I hate how he thinks everybody should be interested in him as if that's his right as a famous badminton player. I wish he would just take No for an answer
ikr! that first soft peck was so freaking cute and I can't believe I didn't expect it! Like, it made sense but…
yeah! I thought there should be a kiss, since it's kinda kdrama rule to have a kiss in about the 8th to 10th ep, but with Jung Hoon being so reserved I wasn't sure if he would actually go for it. I was as anxious as Ha Jin, thinking he'd push her away again. I replayed that kiss too many times haha
I completely forgot about that! I hope it won't happen...another 'sad/open' ending would be if he forgot everything…
Ufff... that would be so bad, I mean I would like for him to have a normal memory because it's easier, but him forgetting everything would also mean he had to forget about his mother and he had to leave Ha Jin alone with her memories of Seo Yun.
the best thing actually about this is that Hong Ju keeps rubbing Jae Sun's mistakes in his face. "I won't [do that], like you did". Hong Ju is super petty and I love it.
I need to remind myself that the stalkers are not the only threat. They kept saying that Jung Hoon is a ticking time bomb and in the preview he said that he didn't want to regret any of the time he had left .... I swear if he dies at the end, or if they just have it be an open ending with his impending death ... I will riot.
the first ep was really boring somehow. the overall mood of this drama is kinda weird. while it's a drama genre, it felt like a morning family drama in directing style. you don't really get to know the characters, therefore I feel really detached from them. I feel like this would've been better if we were to discover their past with flashbacks throughout the story Jin Se Yeon's acting was either very underwhelming or it's just her character set up that's plain dumb, or rather I guess it's both. Lee So Hyuk is a great actor that's why I'm surprised that I didn't care for his screen time Jang Ki Yong's story was just generally too much I guess, thus his performance didn't really fit with the other two leads. I'm glad I have a week left to watch the 2nd ep because rn I'm not in the mood for it. I am gonna give it one or two more chances tho.
I'm so surprised so many dislike the ending? wasn't it perfect? also, why did everybody start hating Ha Won at the end? isn't it absolutely understandable that she was so disappointed by her family, that she was kept in the dark for her own good, however she was still suffering by herself and there was no family left to show her warmth? I feel like her reaction was just as selfish as the one of her mom, who even admitted to behaving selfishly. I also get why she had to go back to Seoul because she had escaped from there and going back was just her facing that, and she could realize that nothing was holding her back.
International fans have never been more fun of LMAO

also, the secondary couple has much better chemistry and somehow, tho their story is mundane, it's much more interesting
