As of ep4, I'm surprised this is the first kdrama (i've watched) that's been about positive parenting all the way. Other than Byeol's mom of course, until we know more about her.
I have nothing against the plot or the main cast but I really don't like how they're portraying Christianity. Making the most dislikable character "a devout Christian" while he's clearly going against his religion and all the other characters as atheists or people who "quit" Christianity is so disrespectful. I won't hate on the show just bc of that but I'm still quite bothered. They really didn't have to go with that approach when villainizing him.
So many moments in this where I got so anxious, sat up on my bed and silently prayed to myself haha. I didn't expect this to be such an emotional and heartfelt story by the end. The value of life and why we continue living. I imagined countless times how I think the end would turn out, but the real ending was so much better than all the ones I came up with. It's like the writers were fully aware of it. Not gonna lie, I'm kind of nervous for the new season and whether it's worth watching after season 2. I still love this show nonetheless, and I'll still watch s3. This is the type of show where i need to sit down and reflect for an hour after watching it damn ðŸ˜
I love love love the direction of this one, so much so I started obsessing over it. The "future gwi-joo" scenes always get me every time, like the show is clueing us on every detail. The colors of each scene, even the colors of Gwi-joo's clothes (which lighten up the more he's around Da-hae) feel so intentional. I started studying lighting and colors recently and this show just rubs me in all the right ways -
