I have a lot of thoughts on the ending of this movie, so I am going to make this into a spoiler. I believe that in the past moments of the movie, he died as he touched the stage. That way, he could still dance with his friends. I only believe this because they are all the same age- it must've been the happiest moment of his life with people he considered his best friends in the cruel time of war.
Ahhh it's not a Drama without a subtle Subway ad. I don't even like Subway, nor Quiznos. My town never liked it and it got discontinued in my state. Why not have something like Dominos instead? Do they have Dominos in SK? They should.
I love how Oh Yeon Soo wants to learn, and takes an initiative too. Working is all about learning and getting back up again after failing. Work doesn't mean that you know everything. You just have to accept help and give it as well ^^
As someone who works at getting jobs for others and improving their resumes, I learned something very valuable in the past year and a half: jobs suck. They really do, especially ones that are for larger companies. Like large universities, they don't care about just one person- and they don't take the time. To get somewhere in the career you want- you have to eat shit with a smile on your face. You really do, and I'm not just saying that. What she is doing and how she is approaching job hunting and her current job in episode 3 is very reminiscent of the people I help everyday. They work harder than others that get the job because of their age and how they are right out of College.
Although the job market may seem large and expansive, the reality of getting a job the older you are is quite difficult. These people who search again and again for a job they really love are so grateful for every day and will go above and beyond to prove to people that they are wrong. If I learned anything with working with people who have had a difficult life, it's that every little bit helps. Go the extra mile every day, be the teachers pet- and do things above and beyond the initiative of your peers and bosses. It helps you become more recognized- and it also helps on your resume. The more skills you learn and little things you do really add up. This is why I really appreciate Da Ni. If you look at her the same way I do, she is a really good inspiration.
As I am very busy this time of year, I could only commit to this drama- and I have my own unpopular opinion to say about it. While I have dropped and tried to watch multiple dramas these past crazy few months, this one stuck. I don't know why- maybe the drama tropes are just enough of sappiness for my liking. It is the reason why I started watching them in the first place, and what drew me in from the first drama I watched.
I sometimes hate and love love triangles. Especially when this one is so much like WYWS, and the guy is nice and sweet and has a dog that he goes for morning walks with. I don't know- the trope is so much more lighter with someone so sweet and harmless added in. I love Jong Suk. I really do, and his character is something I didn't expect from him in his.
-- and moral of the story, life is hard. The writer was portraying that in Dan Ni's character. The actions she took and the things she did yell out 'abandoned' to me. and some of the actions she took- i.e.- walking barefooted, still sleeping in her old house- are forms of PTSD. Anyone can get it, and it happens due to stress from an emotional situation. I would be just as lost as her. All humans aren't meant to be so strong, and we can let out guard down sometimes. In life, we must try. We can't expect life to give us things. Dan Ni really tried, and it showed in her darkest moments.
I use fastdrama.me for my dramas and you can also find certain titles on asiancrush.com , www12.watchasian.co and daebakdrama.com .
It takes a bit of hit or miss for some websites too, because of some not taking adblock. Websites are always changing as well so... that's tricky. The life of a drama watcher in the US is hard work lol
Even though i like the ex husband but for some reason i dont think he deserves her, he didnt put hard work in…
I feel a strange feeling about him. He wants to get her back, yet he never really had her in the first place and everything was very forced. I really think he should meet someone else by the end of the drama that suits his personality more...
Adding to the discussion of the "noona romance", I feel like there is a lot of things that can go right with this concept, and a lot that can also go wrong.
I just got done watching Miss Stevens, a movie that has a close American take on how the public is to view such a complicated temptation of so called 'romance' in the slightest . A hot take to this concept elevated for the "noona" trope can be seen in Secret Affair, a drama in which a teacher falls in love with a student and suffers an immense amount of grief and embarrassment.
This drama has elements of both "I can look after you and help you", and "I am head over heels for you."-- yet-- it somehow falls exactly in the middle. I feel like, in a way- the type of over-cheery person with a behavioral issue can be seen in a role like this one, trying to make the main lead happy in any way they can seem fit. Kim Jin Hyuk in this drama senses loneliness of the main lead, Cha Soo Hyun, but the loneliness is ironic. We know, but no one else other than us and Jin Hyuk can sense it. He wants to be that person to make her smile, and this drama can go in multiple different ways. As he is approaching her world, he is making a decision to make himself known. What are his intentions?
Now, I am not saying that the "noona" trope is a bad one. I personally think that tropes like these can be shown and not overtly told. There has to be more conflict with the male character to drive him to want to know her in the future. Is he completely there for her, or is she too closed off to initiate any kind of romance with him. Does she just find him as a form of comfort and understanding? There are many questions I still have with this storyline, and the writer of this drama is probably going to answer these in the episodes to come.
I don't want too many subplots to submerge the two love interests completely to the point where we don't see them blossom. I want their relationship to grow more beautiful as time goes on in the drama. Bo Gum in my mind can be a close candidate to Timothée Chalamet in showing the beautiful side of this relationship trope without overdoing anything and overcomplicating matters. I look forward to watching the rest (:
Oof why is everyone so hard on this drama? You try directing something like this and see how hard it is. The writer for this drama worked very hard, and the visual effects aren't that easy to create. So stop whining. Argh.
-I feel like the "exploring the room" bit was a take on many classic cinematographic movies such as Barton Fink,…
In a way, you do... but okay. Complain some more about why there is a 10 minute scene where he explores the room. There's a lot more to be said about "boring scenes" but whatever. To each their own, I suppose.
Just a thought.

Why isn’t there any mention of the songs used in the drama that aren’t released as OST’s?
Also: does anyone know why it takes them so long to release drama osts ?
