You and I are on the same page! So well-written!It is only 50 episodes and easier to watch because weekends is…
I've watched plenty of 50-episode dramas, but this one just isn't engaging me. Maybe in a while I'll be curious to revisit it. This happens more often than I'd like.
I agree with a lot of what you said and I felt those same things. However, I decided to continue watching and…
I agree, I really like family dramas and I'm used to them. I think the last one I watched was Live Your Own Life and I followed it weekly, even though it had 50 eps, it captivated me a lot. But I'm having trouble with this one.
I watched 8 episodes and I'm going to stop here. Although most people seem to hate JH, my constant annoyance is with EH. She is totally charmless and uninteresting, without a will of her own, and she places all the emotional responsibility for her childish love on JH. He didn't owe her any explanations about not wanting to date her. He is not a despicable person for choosing an easy life and a marriage for money. He is not a bad son for wanting to leave home. He was depressed after the wedding. He should not feel guilty for taking up space in the collective workplace just because she has not gotten over her feelings for him and has not been able to deal with the shattering of her own expectations. In all his conversations with her, he remains cold because that is the attitude she needs to understand that she does not fit into his life. At the slightest sign of kindness on his part, she would have read it as false hope. But he never had an ambiguous attitude toward her, never showed openness to her. EH simply did not know how to deal with the fact that he did not want her. That she is not a priority for him. She idealized him as an important person to her, but he is not obliged to do the same. And from the moment JH makes this very clear, EH only reacts with anger and discomfort at his presence, even though she knows it is inevitable that he will continue to show up. Should JH change careers and alter his entire network of contacts just to please the sad rejected girl?
