Anyone else get randomly teary? Knowing their backstory and everything or something, I keep getting teary (i.e. her confession scene, her answer to his question) - maybe I'm grieving Joo Won.. haha.. Grieving their lost time together. Grieving her and her sister's bond... etc T-T
i wish people would read the webtoon as it makes the age gap make much more sense. she is not 1000 or however…
Yeah, and as far as memories go.. humans tend to remember bits and pieces (save for a few exceptions such as those with photographic memory). I'm sure she carries memories that are most impactful to her, close to her heart. And she probably forgot just as much, too.
Just think back to our own childhood! Do we remember eevvvvverrrrrythiiing? No! lol
The childish outbursts from people who claim to love this drama is astonishing. Try to open your minds a little…
Stalking I wish they'd stuck with the webtoon version of how Ji Eum met Seo Ha (as a child and teen, respectively) rather than the having Ji Eum stalk Seo Ha for DAYS.
Pedophilia As for pedophilia.. I'm on the fence with it. Up until the age of 8-9, she doesn't remember her past life. She's relatively normal until the flood of memories rush into her mind. But each live is still a new life. She is Ji Eum. The webtoon version of events was a lot more toned down (the level of her obsessiveness and love confessions). Just, she realized OVER TIME that she actually loves him.
Rudeness & Arrogance Seems to be traits acquired by a super long (almost eternal life). Many vampire portrayals show the arrogance and curtness of those that live forever. They're shown to be just as compassionate, caring, and loving, but also have an air of arrogance (especially when they compare themselves to humans). Is it inevitable or an avoidable outlook? I dont know.
None of us can remember our past lives, so we will never be qualified to judge how she feels. In other words,…
*Nods* All of our opinions are welcomed here.
I enjoy reading everyone's comments here - even views I disagree with. I don't have many people IRL to discuss K-Drama with (*smiles nervously* close to 0 actually), so I really appreciate all the discussion here :)
It wasn't like they lost contact, though. He had a very traumatic experience and witnessed her being killed. And…
Yep, for real! Not to mention, she promised Seo Ha's mother that she'd be there for Seo Ha when she died (EP2, I think). She may feel guilt for not being able to have done so. She may have really wanted to grow up with Seo Ha, continue as good friends.
When people reach the end of their lives, some have regrets. What's not to say that those feelings of regrets are carried over to the next life while they still remember it all? What's not to say they would seek out loved ones and try to do better or resolve their regrets?
I just want to second/ highlight this:"Dont get me started on the weird age gap. If you have the memories of your…
And in Episode 2, FL's conversation with the Ajumma, she says something along the lines of:
'No matter how old (adult) you are, we're all just pretending to be mature.'
There's some truth to that, to be honest. Of course we mature in some ways as we grow older (save for a few, unfortunate, exceptions) but we're also sometimes just a child at heart, no? :D
at the same time - of course not including her 18th life , i think she has learned not to feel too attached once…
SPOILERS FROM WEBTOON (Don't proceed if you don't want to to know)
. . .
In the webtoon, she never talked about checking on her descendants (children) or if she ever had any.
You deduced that "she has learned not to feel too attached once she moves onto the next life." Sadly, this is true. She has approached her family from her last (past) life, but was met with pain. They either didn't believe her, treated her as if she was an evil witch, or otherwise caused her a lot of physical and/or emotional pain.
This is why she says (even in the K-drama version, episode 2, her conversation with the Ajumma) that she learned to differentiate whom she can reveal her secret to, and those she can't. She's been burned and learned the hard way. :(
With Seo Ha, she seems undecided? Or more so that she wants Seo Ha to remember her and recognize her. After all, she told him that she remembered past lives when they were kids.
at the same time - of course not including her 18th life , i think she has learned not to feel too attached once…
You hit it right on the dot. It definitely is a lot of trauma and emotions to hold onto for hundreds of years. If you'd like an answer to your first comment (based on webtoon), you could check my next comment! I'll mark it as spoilers in case your question was rhetorical and I had no common sense lol
I believe that's the points. She crearly said that she is bored and don't want to live any more lives, but he…
The prolonged stalking only happened in the drama T-T
In the webtoon, (spoiler warning kind of) . . . it was a very LUCKY moment when she finally was able to meet him. She wanted to meet him a second time, but couldn't because her family stole her money + circumstances (aka: she was never adopted and raised by the ajumma).
I can't never understand why some people compare live actions to the source to the dot. It's extremely difficult…
It's really just for discussion's sake, kind of like fanning-out :3 Please don't take it negatively! We're having fun watching! At least, I am. I still post about comparisons though hehe, I can't help it. I loved the webtoon series! I'm enjoying the drama so far too.
I like how they've developed certain parts more in the drama, or added a fresh take on it -- otherwise, it'd be boring for the viewers that have read the webtoon, y'know?
Nothing wrong with comparing, contrasting, and discussing the changes. It's just another way to express how much we like it :P
My caveats are to do with all the changes from the webtoon. The dad was never straight up physically abusive.…
Warning: Spoilers from Webtoon, don't proceed if you're a Drama-only viewer!

I hope Cho Won liking Seo Ha is a MISUNDERSTANDING - and that it actually follows the Webtoon plot. She may just come across that way, from frequently visiting Seo Ha. But unbeknownst to onlookers, it's Do Yoon that she truly likes :3
So far, it looks like the hotel woman isn't Seo Ha's step-mom. she's a new (antagonist) character that wants Seo Ha to stay far away from the hotel business. I'm sitting there wondering why the camera panned over to the hotel woman's presence (in that company photograph with Seo Ha's mother and father). Where is Seo Ha's uncle?? Is she replacing him?
But yes! I'm with you on the cautiously enjoying series.
as a male i say we need more rich FLs and poor MLs troop.. i'm kind of tired of this rich ML with poor female…
High percentage of the K-drama audience is women, Korean ajummas especially, so we will see more poor/working-class FL paired with rich and good-looking MLs lol
It's just that the demographic of viewers tend to dictate what the screenwriters will write. It sells! >.<
It would be refreshing to see the opposite though. So I'm all for it and agree with you hehe
Yeah, she said she is nearly 1000 years old :> In one of the flashbacks, her figure was 940? 9XX? I forget her exact number. But it's still a believable number of years because some people tend to live longer than the average.

Ji Eum also refers to herself as "Uncle" because she is speaking in third person, indicating that she is ChungHwa's Uncle.
Ex: A mom and son are shopping, and the mom says, " What did Mom(I) say about whining?" She says Mom, but is referring to herself as her son's mom lol
