i dont think I appreciated this when i saw it, but recalling that “feeling” as I see this poster again. there is something very unique in the tone of this piece, albeit not fully realized. it might be worth a second watch some day to see through a different lens…
That and also a different actress as well. The current actress isn't the right fit for the character, even though…
I hear you, but it’s not just the clingy thing, it’s her style for me. I also didn’t like her in Terius. And in the end , it’s just one of many perspectives :)
Namgoong Min absolutely showed his true skills in acting in this one - melodrama, romcom, suspense. man. i am…
he’s amazing. it’s just hard to find words for his prowess. i do see some mannerisms that are habitual, that he has a hard time releasing or choosing, but that’s nitpicky. I wouldnt have observed it if i wasn’t watching everything he did! 🤓. In this series though, he was really mismatched with the lead, 15 years o lder than her and in a very different league as an actor.

thanks for the summary! i may wait on this one. and about her acting…. it could be a mix of her style and the writing for sure, but i haven’t seen it yet :)
Nope. I just checked my Hulu and episodes 1 through 8 are up. I'm in the US.
they went up last night (Wednesday), show aired on Friday 🙄 Seems to be Disney+ International is in sync with airing schedule but not Hulu… plus I read here that some episodes were up before airing date last week or previous, so it’s definitely a hot mess at Hulu.
so interesting! I find the Mom’s lack of sensitivity for what she’s asking for, constant nagging and not ever…
this! exactly. i really get how it might feel that way. i think through my own family history one side is more comforting than the other. my mother was not a safe space and she was domineering, so im clear my preference is based on that 🤪 in the ideal world, and i believe we started to see this in episode 3, we would be listening and responding to each other’s needs in the moment, while taking care of our own. few of us learn this and entire cultures lean on one side or the other, more than in the center point of relation. so much to think about for me. thanks for engaging 🙂

yea, i get what you mean. people that need space to process are rarely respected and understood, however. there’s an expectation that it should be another way, which creates a huge survival stress in their nervous system. this is why i understand this character, and to me, neither way is the mature way. rather, it would be an easy give and take where neither side is trying to force the other to do it their way, and can stay related both in the intimacy that is needed and the freedom that needs space to individuate. i just relate to one side more due to my own history. 🤓
