Jiseul, meaning "potato" in Jejueo, is a well chosen title for this film, because that's a symbol for hope and survival. It helps if you know a bit of Korean history, even if you aren't familiar with this particular event (which was illegal to talk about for almost 50 years), to understand certain details in this film better.
It's not that the show wants to forget they ever existed. It's just a known fact that people go completely into…
You were referring to the first episodes, hence the first part. I misunderstood you then. The common trope part was referring to the writing style / writers, not you. Sorry that it came across that way.

Of course she would call her when the situation just happened. She probably still calls or texts her sister, but she wouldn't actively go looking for her while the loan sharks were still after her (which is what my comment referred to) and would need to get in contact with her sister to be able to find her after the situation got resolved.
It's a common trope in and outside of K-media for people to go MIA / 'become dead to the world' when they have high interest debts. That context might be less clear to an international audience.
In any case, feel free to disagree. I understand why it might've irritated you. Hopefully the writers conclude what happens to the sister in the final episodes.
By the way does anybody know where Da Rim's sister is?By the time Ji Hyeok and Da Rim get married, she'll still…
It's not that the show wants to forget they ever existed. It's just a known fact that people go completely into hiding when there are loansharks after them (in S. Korea). You don't want them to find you, so you don't contact your family in case they are watching them.
The sister doesn't know the debt has been paid, so she's staying underground for now. (FL and mom probably understand that this is what they are doing, so they aren't majorly concerned. She might have seen her sister on tv/stream, so it wouldn't surprise me if she pops up at the last moment in the show or if she's too afraid/embarrassed to show her face around her family for now.)
please tell me im not the only one who thought "oh he should really go to the hospital to get checked for…
Not the only one. I kept thinking it too and had to stop myself by thinking: "the writers are not going for realism here..." 😂.
It's cool that Da rim could carry him though. She must have seen that video on 'how to carry your husband in case of a fire' / the firemen demo of how to carry someone 😂😂.
I know people are happy that the secret(s) are finally out in the open (yes, yay!), but am nervous about what Taeyeong (2FL's brother) is going to do...
Hwan is doing a great job at making me dislike his character 😅.
Edit after ep 10: why am I not surprised? 😭 He def has more up his sleeve.
I am getting tired of Da rim constantly needing to be saved by Ji Hyeok. This is the fourth or fifth time it’s…
He probably fired him because he didn't bring him to where he wanted to go and instead listened to his mom's instructions. He probably wants someone who listens to only him 😒.

There were so many highlights in that episode and was impressed with both the staff and the members in the final game 😂.
Knew the writers would insert a few more tropes, but they really stuffed all of them in there...

What he said to Ji Hye was absolutely vile.
