sunshine

Same.. Wish they'd gone a cooler (and darker) shade of brown, at least, to match Hye Sun's cool tone skin complexion. She's still beautiful, but the orange hair color clashes; it also looks like an at-home-dye attempt rather than professionally done color.

Is it a clean & closed-ending, or does it leave stuff unexplained or "to be continued"?

She gives me Japanese-Actress vibes :O Pretty

She kind of seems to lack self-awareness. Yes, it's her bubbly-ness and friendliness, yet she doesn't seem to notice how her actions affect (confuse, irritate, etc) others around her. She says things without thinking twice. I hate to say it, but she gives me "pick me girl" vibes. I'm sure she's a nice person, but she's sending the WRONG MESSAGES D:

Sent you a message with 2 links to RAW (no subtitles) episodes

Thank you for your reply :D I'm putting this into my Plan to Watch list.

Definitely not, I agree with you. It's natural to receive help from family and friends - which is why we're always told networking is critical.

Is FL like the girl, Hana, in 대행사(Agency) Kdrama - rich, spoiled, has attitude, wants to prove herself, strong ego, learns over time how to become more skilled for her role in the company despite being a ‘parachute’/nepotism hire?

Hana became more likable as the drama progressed. Maybe the FL in Here We Meet Again is like that too? Or does she stay unlikable and unrelatable?

I read the novel before watching the movie, but had heard long in advance how the story will be tear-jerking. Even going into it KNOWING it’ll be sad, the novel broke me :(( I was in tears for the last 25-30% of the book. I watched the movie, thinking I’ll be OK cause I know what’s going to happen already. Nope. Intro scene, flashbacks of the novel in my mind, and I ended up crying again. This is definitely a ‘tragedy’ tag…

Not me scared for all the cute scenes in the webtoons getting skipped D: Nuuuu

To answer this would spoil.

This app isn't for watching shows. It's just a drama list you can keep, along with: discussion board, rating dramas (or not), things like that. We can't watch shows here.

Webtoon is great. It has a great re-read factor too!

As far as drama adaptations for popular webtoons, some are hits while others are misses. :/ Let's hope this one does the original justice.

Webtoon is worth the read, too T^T

Yeah, kids don't talk like her daughter did lol

End of episode 11
- are his memories back now? :) All of them?

The whole dialogue between Mijoo and her daughter sounded VERY SCRIPTED. No kid her age is going to say that. Things like: divorce is nothing these days, put yourself first, etc. These are things older people say lol.. not some 5-7 year old.

It sounds like denial to me. There is grief (and loss) that you experience when you accept that what your parents did was emotional neglect (and/or abuse). People would rather make excuses for or rationalize such behaviors, than to face hurtful truths.

It is completely possible to continue to love and care for your parents, even if you acknowledge that they were also human who made mistakes, fell short, and made hurtful actions against you. Afterall, they're your parents.

But it's part of the healing process to accept the emotional abuse/neglect for what it was/is, than delude oneself into thinking everything was okay, it was out of love so it's okay, or make excuses for them saying they went through xyz, had good intentions, and whatnot.

You're good. Your statements weren't racist - they're well known facts. Are all asian parents that way? No. But substantial number of them are :) It's no secret. I'm Asian too.

Anyway, I thought she'd change cause (1) she clearly sees how her words (and actions) traumatized her son and appeared remorseful about it, (2) life-changing events place (i.e. his son's memory loss and disability, her health issues), and (3) because as much as it's difficult for people to change, people do change when they have a huge moment of realization, determination, and effort. But she hasn't.

ML's mother is terminally ill though. The writer will likely use this to play on viewers' sympathies and also push ML into forgiving his mother because of that whole 'she did it out of love' rationalizing. At the same time, ML still loves his mother. They both care about one another. Just cause one is emotionally neglected or abuse, it doesn't get rid of that 정(Jung; attachment; bond-feelings) and love for one's parent(s). *shrugs*

It's for everyone. Viewers don't need to fit the same demographics to enjoy a foreign series.

And just because the son+mom has the "typical Asian/African" dynamics, it doesn't make it OK. Abuse is abuse. Neglect is neglect.
