Can we just talk about the fact she did not have aphasia but mutism when she was a child. Coz it annoys me so much they keep calling it aphasia...

"and Sang Hwan, to put it frankly, is a little bitch." I cannot describe how much I agree with you. I had this drama on hold for 2 years coz I could not stand his character.

Sang Hoon... no... come back....

He is/was my favorite one. Honestly so disappointed they got rid off him like that :(

This I agree 100%, that's why I don't feel bad for her. Her wrongs do not make his cheating right tho. The moment he started to have feelings for Ji Eun, he should end it with his wife, or at least try (as she would most likely not agree to it). She is almost as bad as Soo Ah's husband. But also, who t heck marries for sympathy? This was such a stupid idea I cannot understand his reasoning. What, did he hope he will one day maybe fell for her? Or was he willing to live in a loveless marriage the whole life? What was his plan?

I mean, I like Se Kyung, but this comment is funny haha

She yelled at him once, it's not a confrontation. He still did not understand why she did that and what happened since she never EXPLAINED! She always acted if front of him as it was perfectly fine with her, like she loved the birds as much as he did. Conversation is the basic for all relationships and I did not see her try to have proper conversation about her feelings with the husband ever once.
He did not have sex with her for 3 years and was fine with it. Unless she clearly stated "I don't like it, I want sex, let's talk about what is going on with out marriage" how would he know she was not fine with their arrangement?
That's why his situation was different than Min Young. He did not really know his wife was unhappy, while Jung Woo told Min Young many times what frustrates him and what he does not like in their relationship, but Min Young just ignored all his complains coz she had her own vision of a happy marriage.

I would agree with Chang Gook IF they even hinted that Ji Eun talked to him and explain she was unhappy. But we never saw that. He was happy with the way their marriage worked, and without Ji Eu n saying anything why would he assume she was unhappy. After she started cheating and showed some changes in her behavior he picked the up quickly and start to ask question, and she still always said everything is okay and nothing is wrong. Only once we saw her break down and complain about being called "mom" of the birds, but yet again there was no conversation, she did not explain to him what is wrong. About kids too, my question is, did they talk about it BEFORE they get married? Coz this would clear the whole situation. If before getting married he said he wants to have kids at some point, and later changed his mind, I would understand Ji Eun's frustration. But what is from the get go he clearly stated he does not want to have any kids? Worse scenerio: they never talked about it. Which would be ridiculous and unrealistic...
Tbh I disliked Chang Gook character at the beginning, but the more I saw Ji Eun's character and behavior the more I understood him . Unless you say "I'm unhappy, I don't feel the love anymore, we need to work it out somehow", no one is going to know what you think and feel. And Ji Eun never truly did.

For the adults I feel the most sympathy to Chang Gook, I feel like he is the true victim here since I honestly don't see much wrong in anything he has done so far. Some may say he was not attentive enough to his wife and it made her unhappy, but as far as we know she NEVER communicated that in any way. She once screamed at him to not call her "mom" but again did not explain why. It was impossible for him to know she was unhappy, if she never said anything.
As for Min Young, she knew Jung Woo was unhappy with how she treats him, and makes decisions without even caring about his opinion. He told her many times and yet she still looked down on him and did not care about what is his goals in life, coz she wanted to have that happy marriage perfect successful couple dream come true. Since she was not willing to work it out and only thought about her own happiness, I cannot feel as bad for her as for Chang Gook. I still don;t believe she deserves to have cheating husband, but I do believe she had a huge part in the reason the marriage did not work. Even if Jung Woo and Ji Eun never met, the marriage would still not work out and they would get divorce at some point.
Soo Ah tho... I am quite sure if she did not leave the house, sooner or later she would commit suicide. She was being psychologically abused by her husband. I do believe she should have 1st talk to her kids, especially the older one, and explain (especially since the older one saw how unhappy her mother was), then AFTER the talk, maybe move in with the dude. Many kids after their parents divorce say the worst part was waiting for it to happen. That they felt something was wrong for years. I don't think it's as easy and clear of a situation with "she should stay in the house for her kids, coz they are the most important" since her staying might have even worse consequences.

with last ep I am pretty sure he is not younger than her. Since she dated his younger brother, which by the looks was more or less her age or slightly younger. At "worse" Yoon is her age, might be older tho. And Joo Wan is obiovuly older.

I never thought of Bong Soon as a role model since, even tho at times she tried her ber, she also abused her powers for pity stuff, which ended up as bullying. I don't believe in "an eye for an eye" mentality... I know I am one of a few people who disliked her character, but the way she was self righteous annoyed me.

yeah, every country in Europe has their own medical laws too. Don't different states in US have different laws too? Every country does what they think is right, so kind of, at the end of the day, no one is right.

Honestly, if crying was the only thing she did, I'd be pissed. But since she cries but also makes sure the job is done I like it. I have no problem with characters crying all the time as long as they push through the emotions and keep going with whatever they decided to do.

Sang Hoon is my favorite.

They have strong feelings for each other in original universe but it's not love nor friendship. He was her 1st solved case that launched her career as a detective, but at the end consequences of it are really bad. She saved him back in the days so now he can make the money and live a good life as a lawyer.
Also the beating is just her giving to the anger and frustration, and for him, is a way to feel less guilty about his actions. Like a penance aka "I might have done something wrong, let a criminal go free, but I paid for it with being beaten. Now I can sleep at night and not hate myself" kind of way.

I am so scared about casting of Jugyeong... it's not gonna be easy...

Beom Jin... what are you?

me being like: wait... so who died in what drama and why?

Not to mention Chan Sung's ex is hinted to be part of the past story and she also looks the same as her "past" characters, IU looks the same (which is given, since she did not really die), so it would be weird if Chan Sung was the only one who reincarnated into looking totally different than his past self. As much as I love Jingoo, I honestly would enjoy the drama more if Lee Do Hyun was the main actor, and they just played the reincarnation well. I love Jingoo, but I don't see anything going on with his character in the drama. There isn't much depth to him...

If they pull "reincarnation" bullshit for Chan Sung's character, I will be pissed and my rating for the drama will drop A LOT. It would simply not make ANY sense from his to be either Chung Myung nor Yeon Woo.
