The musical talent in this drama is astounding, every single one of the main characters can sing, 3 of them are big names in musicals, all four female leads (i.e: seong hwa, gyeo wool, min ha, iksun) are very accomplished musical actresses, and there are SO many amongst the supporting cast that are part of the musical/theater world. They need to give us like a charity concert at the hopsital or something similar, it would be a shame to let so much talent go to waste within the show.
You know for a moment at the end of ep 7, I was worried, ending the episode like that, that's otp material, but then the second eu tteum kissed her and the ost started, they showed us Yi sang, so it was an otp moment,just not the two that shared a kiss. Also this is one of the only few cases in dramaland,where I can understand why he's trying to distance himself from her,it's a real issue not fake angst he knows the thing she wants most out of life is a child and he can't give her that, not to mention the fact that this was the exact reason him and his gf of 17 years broke up, if the woman he spent half his life with couldn't deal with it, would ha ri be able to, and more importantly he cares about her so much he doesn't want her to have to.
Deciding whether to start this or not, does it give off harem vibes or does it seem obvious who the male lead…
I think it's very obvious who the ML, within the first two episodes you'll know, if they don't throw us a curveball, it's the guy 99% of the people watching ship her with.
So it seems Yi sang and his fiancee grew apart because he's infertile or it's really hard for him to have kids, and now he's in love with someone who's biggest wish in life is to be a mother, I hope they can find a way to have biological kids, but that's not the only way, they can get sperm if they love each other enough to get married, they can adopt, dna isn't the only thing that makes a family.
I actually like almost everyone in this show, it seems like it's shaping up to be a really solid family drama a la my father is strange, so I'm gonna wait until it's over and binge watch it.
You know , I generally love this writer/director duo's dramas,mostly due to how they master comedy and genuine platonic/familial relationships but the one thing that always annoys me, is the focus on the who's going to end up with who game, it was very present in the 1994 and 1997 replys ,minimal in 1988 and almost non existent in prison playbook and these two were much better for it, I adore this show, but I would much rather they settle at least 2 of the couples by early next season and keep focusing on wholesome friendships and show us couples that are already together and are navigating their relationships , getting together isn't always the most interesting part, what happens after that is just as if not more important. P.S I actually like all the couples or would be couples so far, and I enjoy the romance. i just don't want a big portion of the show wasted on endless guessing games.
Go joon is so freaking charming, he has this magnetism that few actors/actresses possess, that last scene in ep 4, you could literally see him falling in love and all he did was look at her and utter 4 words, I hope we get to see him in more leading roles in the future, as forJang nara she's a queen as always.
This show is firing on all cylinders so far, it's moving and hilarious and heartwarming but most importantly it's tackling rarely talked about issues like single parenthood and sperm donation and female infertility with sensitivity and compassion.
I know the way the female lead looses her shit is due to a disorder( meaning it's different than just a person without it getting mad over something), but that was SO relatable, i've gotten pissed over much lesser things, if my hard work of ten years went down the drain in 10 seconds because of someone else, i'd loose it too. Also I love that despite her anger issues, she's such a kind, compassionate soul. Complex female characters? it's more likely than you think.
This got real stupid, real fast, I don't understand why kdrama writers insist on handling things in the last stretch of shows in the dumbest way possible, it's almost as if they find it impossible to give us a well written resolution that makes sense in the context of the story, it's almost always break up , go abroad get back together in the last 5 minutes of the last episode, wtf is this written in some sort of kdrama manual the writers pass around or what? I was really enjoying this show but alas.
I'm so confused, I honestly hope the writer knows what they're doing and this isn't a case of questions on top of questions without any logical answers, also we're halfway through, they need to start giving us some concrete answers.
I really wanted to like this show, and I do enjoy some aspects as I love slow paced character focused stories, but the whole thing with ji soo feels extremely creepy and uncomfortable.
Okay so it seems lee shin is doing this is somehow is related to her daughter, is she sick and dying and she's somehow stealing people's time from the reset and giving it to her?
Poor Myeong yeo and myung joo, domestic violence is horrific, and seeing hae won's mother get beaten without fighting back until it's her sister that's in danger is heartbreaking, on a happier note, hae won being like " I want to sleep with you" was both hilarious and great, it's so rare that we see women in kdramas express sexual desire let alone initiate sex.
I like the way their relationship keeps unfolding without the usual hiccups. I hope it keeps continuing this way.
Yes, that's another thing, they just talk everything through, she asks a question and he answers honestly, and he doesn't have to ask her anything she just tells him everything, it's quite refreshing.
I really like this show and I'm glad it's only 12 episodes, a drama like this so heavily reliant on it's story needs to be shorter so the plot can be tighly written without having to add filler, my favorite thing about the last episode is how in 99% of the shows i've seen, the characters, especially female leads follow someone dangerous to a remote location alone like dumbasses , I thought it was the same thing here and then she was like, " the first thing I did was call the cops do you think I'm stupid", thanks Ga Hyun.
