I think it is about job. Sure, preferably back in US, but I think it's about her not "wasting" sitting and doing nothing "below her skills". That's why she does not allow her to help with restaurant etc. She knows Seok Ryu is used to being active and doing something, and this "jobless" situation for people like that can in fact get exhausting when they feel like they have nothing to do...

and here I am, deciding not to watch it, because I found out the age gap between the characters is only 4 years, and I was hoping for more 🤣

My issue was not the real age difference between actors, but how in drama they are only 4 years apart and that's ridiculous 🤣 I'd love if they were 10 years apart also in the drama. Her 33 and him 23 for example. or even just 8 years, 33 and 25.

i mean Verified/Stars Rating is lower than currently watching airing from viewers: 7.36
so it's hardly massive downvotes from alt accounts, since i doubt people get new phone numbers just to verify their mdl alt account 🤡

exactly... the fact that after that break down from Seok Ryu instead of trying to talk to her and understand her, she tries different ways to manipulate her into getting a job is wild...

Personally, I think in both cases it was perfectly valid to call out his privilege to his face.

He was the first one to get a bit preachy with Seok Ryu about her maybe going back to the field just just quitted and that she should just search for her dream. He was ignorant about how not everyone can do that, that he was lucky to be in position to be able to do that. They were both "rude", because they were both blinded by their emotions and did not consider the situation of the other person.

As for Lee Na Yun (his employee) - his idealism that comes from his privilege literally harms his workers. There is a difference between fearing you will fail pursuing your dream (which is the case for Seung Hyo, if his company goes under) and fearing you won't be able to support your family (which is the case for Yun Myeong U, he has two kids as far as I remember?) or take care of yourself (which would be the case for Lee Na Yun). The whole case is - even if she fails, he has the means to start over because of his family. Which is not the case for people who work with him. So again, calling out his irresponsible behavior that is rooted in his privilege is fair, if it affects them directly.

Let's talk about episode 3, because that was some good shit.

First of all I loved the themes oin it: idealism vs realism, different types of privileges (tho there was clear focus on the economical one).

We've got to see more of Seung Hyo's past and his personal struggles, but also how Seok Ryu fitted into that picture - which led to both comedic and moving moments.

Mo Eum and Dan Ho are SLOWLY getting more screen time and I'm SO excited for this couple. They are truly fucking angels. Dan Ho and his kindness is so attractive I might go feral at some point 🤣

I also like how with just a few scenes here and there we get to understand the mothers a bit more, and damn I think they both are taking such a wrong approach to their kids situations and the relationships they have with them. One is trying to low key manipulate Seok Ryu to get a job, and the other is trying to pretend she has a good relationship with Seung Hyo and move on from all the past neglect as if it never happened.

What I want more is a bit more focus on the tho. We get close to nothing on them.

Lee Na Yun yet again proves to be best supporting female character we can get 🔥

So, we were able to survive episode 3, barely.
But seeing the preview of episode 4, we are doomed 🔥

But it is a fact that he was able to be this successful partially because of his privilege. Hell, the fact he can even walk right now is because his family is rich and he was able to get all that treatment. The fact that he could recover without worrying about money, without seeing his parents struggle - which is one of the reasons many people go into well paid jobs and not what are their true interests.

The fact that he was able to look for another dream after one was ruined is a privilage itself.

ep 3 reactions as I watch. It's so long I am actually embarrassed about it 🙂

I mean, we knew Choi Seung Hyo was emotionally neglected by his parents and that's why he was so close with Bae Seok Ryu's family, but seeing it happen is still sad.

At the same time, it's so good to see that even if they were bickering as teens, they were there for each other during the most important moments.

How Seo Hye Suk acts really bothers me. She failed as a mother and neglected her son, but now tries to just "move on" and be a happy family, without any work, serious talk and acknowledging her faults...

I am sorry, but I am so much like Seok Ryu it's ridiculous. I also plan my free time 🤣 I don't go by time, but rather by tasks tho, based on different hobbies and interests 😅 "I might as well have fun in planned and systematic way" 🔥

Now that I am watching Seok Ryu not being able to even rest freely it makes me think - how much of it is just her personality and how much of it is just habit she learn by working so hard all of her life. If she grew up with less internal and external pressure, would she also plan her free time? Look for ways to help people and work?

Her meeting with her homeroom teacher was so painful to watch. How she kept saying how proud she was of her. And asking her to talk to students about her work. Like damn... you cannot escape from expectations people have for you and it's scary and depressing as fuck.

I'm curious if she had a dream job in the past. From how they showed it, I don't think so. Which would make one never reaching his dream, while the other never having one in the first place. Grimm reality of being an adult. To be honest... I never had a dream job or like goal I wanted to chase with passion either.

Seok Ryu's situation is so fucking depressing. She needs rest as fuck, but she also feels guilty resting 😭

Wild for me to watch ambulance stuck in traffic in Korea. In Poland cars are legally required to make a path for ambulance to go. They can more to the right and left as much as possible, even drive slightly on the area for pedestrians etc.

If I saw Kang Dan Ho during one of his acts of kindness, I would be madly in love and turn into a stalker 🤣 SHE IS SO ATTRACTIVE I WOULD LEGIT WANT TO MARRY HIM ON THAT DAY!

I'm with Choi Seung Hyo on the health center issue. I was honestly not even mad about the whole "for rich only" part of it. It is what it is, 1% bitches are what they are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ what bothered me was the plagiarism. For anyone who deals with any type of designing job, reputation is everything. They might win in court, but he would forever be known for plagiarizing others' work. It's a short term gain that can ruin long term business. BUT I also do understand Yun Myeong U. To some extends they are both wrong. One is too idealistic and one is too capitalistic. Seung Hyo should be looking for more profitable works, not just the ones that make him feel good, but Myeong U should know what lines they should not cross.

Not Seung Hyo arguing with Seok Ryu because of his frustration about his work. Dude, please don't project. Seek therapy. Seok Ryu should see specialist too 🙂

"𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴? 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥? 𝘖𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘶𝘹𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮. 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴." This is so sad, but also so true. If you know you have no security to help you get back up after failure, you will seek the comfort of stability over the thrill and fulfillment of searching for your dreams.

Lee Na Yun is such a great supporting character. First she is a fun and normal and not obsessive fangirl. She does her work well. She is not biased just because she liked Seung Hyo and explained perfectly why they are both right and wrong at the same time. Bless this girl! 💖

I am sorry, but I am emotionally not ready for a romantic scene in the pool 🙂

What I thought I would get is romantic pool scene.
What I've got was swearing contest and I'm all for it 🤣

Okay but...wet Jung Hae In in a black outfit is just... R.I.P Kate. It was nice knowing you all.

HE IS ASKING ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT AND I AM HERE DYING OMGKDJFGDIHGDSIGH DSLK GJD
WE ARE GETTING ROMANTIC SCENE IN A POOL OMG. I CANNOT BREATHE!
HE SAID 돼서 그럼! I REPEAT! HE SAID 돼서 그럼! ksjhdfd hgslidgjdsk;gj sgn df I NEED CPR, MY HEART DEAD AND I CANNOT BREATHE!
고백? FUCKING 고백? omg he did in fact have feelings for her. I am dead. fuck. omg.

I am not watching the preview coz I won't be able to focus on anything and will only think about the next ep 🤡🙂😅🤣

For me she looks around 34... But he ain't close to 29 hahaha

This whole 30 but could play highschoolers is just a lie we tell ourself lol
When you compared their looks to how actual high schoolers look you get back into reality 🤣

Also, modt probably makers have given them less age gap.. because of people that can't bear to see the female character way older than the male < nope. Webtoon characters are 32, 28. So They sticked to the source material.


The issue here is - they both look slightly younger than their age. But while they made her younger, they made him older and it;s just dumb 🙂

I really like Moon Sang Min, but honestly he does not look 29 at all. And how they dressed him in that few sizes too big suit to make him look less like a boy was just ridiculous 🤣

I'm not even saying make it 14. But he FL is 33, he could easily be 25 and it would be more realistic with how they cast and how they look 🤡

Here I was excited for a proper noona romance since there is 14 years gap between the actors, but then I checked the characters ages and she is 33 and he is 29 🥲

Yep. The romance was rather obvious since their first interaction, but them going more serious with that last scene in ep 20 was more unexpected for sure.

Can we just talk about last scene in ep 20... coz.... fuck
I mean omg. This scene was so hot and badass and I cannot.
I rewatched it like 4 times.
🔥

That one scene > all scene of Cui Xing Zhou combined.
I said what I said.

to be fair, i only saw him in this and Lost You Forever, but these two characters are so drastically different, but he did such a good job in both of these roles, it's impossible not the be impressed,

I cannot contain my thought to just myself, I need to verbalize them somewhere hahaha
