I would like to get korean subtitles for this to help in my Korean study. It's hard to find them at the best of times, and I haven't had any luck in the usual places. In my experience the best sources are viki or netflix, but they don't have this drama. I don't know of any subtitle sites based in Korea for Korean viewers.

The title seems unsuitable for this harrowing drama which depicts the lives of several people some seven years after a shopping mall collapse disaster. He copes by suffering in silence and exploding into anger and violence whenever he feels this facade threatened, she copes by suppressing her own needs and instead devoting herself to caring for others, especially her parents who are both stuck in pathological grief. Slowly the various characters heal the only way they can, by connecting with each other, sort of exchanging coping methods and therefore developing a more functional range of strategies and some choice. It's a slow process and barely gets there by the final episode.
Almost all of the characters express affection paradoxically by angrily accusing and shouting at each other. Sometimes it's amusing, but other times it becomes a drag. It's probably intentional by the scriptwriter to represent how damaged all the main characters are, but some more range would have been acceptable. An exception was the fascinating and likeable Sang Man character. So childish at times that he seemed to be intellectually disabled, and yet sometimes wise and complex. He spoke Mandarin at one point, which suggests he had a backstory that wasn't explained in the drama (or maybe I missed it).
The main flaw, which fortunately doesn't ruin this fine drama, but intrudes on the final two episodes, is a regrettably all-too-often trope of korean dramas, in which a doctor treats a close family member. One almost gets the impression that family members get preferentially assigned to their close relative doctor. In Australia where I work, this is regarded as highly unethical and unprofessional, and I think it likely that is the case in Korea. If drama writers want us to believe their stories, they should make sure they don't include utterly improbably events like this. Also, one scene where a hospital consultant angrily kicks his female intern, would be grounds for severe disciplinary action and probably a criminal conviction, as it should be. No wonder the intern character is always such a misery guts.
Tae In Ho always seems to get roles playing narcissistic petulant childish bad guys. I wonder if he enjoys it, or yearns to play a more honourable and likeable character?

And why would they smash up that beautiful old piano?

Since it was a series, Someday or One Day was able to explore the theme in more ways and over a longer time. The Secret movie left a lot of unanswered questions at the end.

Something about playing the melody very quickly on that old piano made it possible for him to go back in time and rejoin her. No information what happened to her fatal asthma or his subsequent timeline.

I enjoyed Secret tonight, so I'll follow your recommendation for Our Times. Did you like Someday or One Day?

A high school romance story; lots of enjoyable music, mostly classical piano (since it's a specialist music school). The first half plays like a sweet teen romance, Kwai Lun Mei smiling most of the time (which I for one, enjoyed), with the added joy of two clever minds sharing the thrill of their love of playing and listening to music, and then in the middle a sudden mystery twist, the second half full of sadness and longing. The main actors are both fine pianists; no silly miming in their many performances. The early twentieth-century school building and the similar homes, along with the European classical music, gave this setting a strangely European aura.

Yes it can be helpful to have one's impressions validated by a like-minded person. I'm getting less and less patient lately. If I'm not hooked in a couple of episodes, then I give up.

The usual cliches of sports movies: we know they'll win by the end (in drama series, they can lose b/c they need to progress in further episodes); the stern unrelenting male coach, the forging of team spirit; the kind female teacher supporting; the supportive grandparents, the unsupportive emotionally cut-off father; the snobby studious classmates, etc. This one relies overmuch on loud music to intensify the competition scenes, but then what can you do otherwise? The story skimmed quickly over other adolescent girls' issues, such as dating, the pressure to be slim etc.
Add points for most of the actors being actual tug-of-war athletes in past or current competition, built for strength and weight rather than anorexic slimness. And it was good the way the male team and their coach were friendly with the female team and coach after their competition.
I feel a bit petty commenting that Guo Shu Yao is just as pouty as she was in The Teenage Psychic. Not quite sure how she gets these lead roles.

Yet another chinese fantasy movie, presumably aimed at teenage boys and whoever is forced to accompany them, the plot relying solely on the magical, the bizarre and the downright grotesque rendered in photorealist CGI, and frequent fight scenes, preferably all together. Not enough to keep me even to half way through.

Slice of life movies, in which ordinary people do ordinary things, can be paradoxically engrossing, but not this one for me. I didn't care about any of the characters, probably a factor was that most of the camera work was long shots, especially in the intimate scenes, so that the viewer never felt involved. And the message of this movie? Life is hard, most if not all of the time.

The colours were too bright, the sounds too loud, the action too fast, the characters and the plot not engaging. If religion is the opiate of the masses, and soma what kept the populace docile in Brave New World, does cinema play the same role in China these days?

A rip-roaring rollicking space flick packed too full of multiple languages, confusing spaceship dogfights, and the Korean obsessions with contacting the dead, bloody fistfights, crazed villains, and cute children.

I don't think people have affairs with the intention of having kids. Quite the opposite.

An enjoyable TV movie that lightly dramatizes Japanese xenophobia and exploitation of immigrants, on the other side two young troubled/tramatized Japanese youths who are each healed by the welcoming and caring of same immigrants.

Apparently in Asia it's a kind of zodiac sign i.e. different personality types are attributed to different blood groups. Ridiculous, but it's a common belief.
My point about her weight is that this is contributing to the dangerous problem of eating disorders in people.

She's a great favorite, and it's a fun article, except is it necessary or relevant to quote her weight? Isn't that nobody's business except hers?

If you did, you'd miss a lot of the background story about the plot that underlies this whole drama, including each of the dead bodies and their autopsies.

In Korea this would be called a fusion drama i.e. historical setting, but with anachronistic modern features (the scientific detection, medical autopsies, abdominal surgery, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, etc). It's a thoroughly enjoyable yarn that celebrates the intellect of its two leads (rather than looks, fighting prowess, etc).

I believe Answer Me/Reply 1997 is set in Busan and they speak a lot of Busan slang. But I don't recall seeing much of the Busan scenery.
