Episode 34's MVP is Lawyer Go he's my favorite character in the show now 😂
"Do you... like me?"
"You - by chance, is the one you like Miss Yeoju?"
"Why not? It's not illegal!"
The umbrella scene reminded me of the one in I'm Not A Robot - when FL goes for a kiss and ML goes home shocked and scandalized by the thought that a robot had the AUDACITY to touch his sacred lips and take his first kiss 😂
and the secret relationship trope reminds me of Touch Your Heart - ahhh I love my adorably cute tsundere MLs! 🥰😅
wow thanks for all the reccs! i only recently got interested in the body swap trope... i dropped DOBY at ep 2 because I just couldn't get into it, but Secret Garden seems to be a good classic show to watch. DYDM also looks really interesting!
My favorite body swap movie is The Dude in Me - gangster swaps with a scaredy-cat, bullied teenager(B1A4's Jinyoung). I could watch it over and over again 😂 It was hilarious.
At this point I’m wondering just how SC would even give Anna some kind of forgiveness. I don’t think her dying…
i agree. the characters just have to be disposed off at this point. I initially wanted DD to reconcile with her mom, but then all this happened and it really hurt when DD said "It would kill me to leave Jae Ni, Se Chan and Se Jong, and I'm only their governess. How could a mom abandon her own child?!"
DD has experience now. It's going to be very hard for her to look at her mom again
Hi it is nice to see you in my comment section again 😎 And even more to see that I achieved what I wanted to…
aww you're the one who writes such interesting articles ♥
I didn't think FOE's last ep was a mess. Though I didn't exactly LOVE the turn it took, I think the writers used that trope to show the viewers that he really did love his wife from the very beginning, secrets or no secrets. A lot of his actions kept making me doubt whether he truly loved her or whether she was just another pawn in his game. I think he deserved to start clean again. The writers give you hope that everything will return to normal again because he's finally overcome his last hurdle.
And the involuntary way in which he dropped to the ground and opened his arms when his daughter ran to him just melted my heart and gave me yet another opportunity to cry like a baby.
"It's okay if you didn't get me a gift. Daddy is my biggest gift, and I love him most in the world."
I hate to admit it, but I also found her scenes with Gun nice. Until last episode I felt like throwing up everytime…
I agree. I want to see this Sa Ra-focused arc end well, after she faces the consequences and comes clean. I'm sick of the Anna Kim-SC-YS arc already but I guess that's going to be the next side-arc that will take center stage
ahhh I can't wait for this one to get released! Season 1 was so much fun... I hope the entire Violent Crimes Div 2 comes back, with the same actors. Casting Jang Seung Jo and Son Hyun Joo as investigation partners was a brilliant decision 😍
Why is Ji Seung Hyun listed as having a main role here, though? Is this a continuation of S1 or something else?
I love the way you chose to bring the sad scenes. I got drawn in to that drama's world and then felt like crying all over again. I never watch dramas with sad endings, but I agree with what you said about powerful sad scenes in contrast with the happiness of a drama. They just leave a mark.
One of my favorite sad scenes is the one in Flower of Evil. Okay, there were a lot of scenes that made me cry, but the one on the bridge, where ML completely breaks down - i lost it. I UGLY cried throughout, and the OST just made me drown. I love the fact that FoE has only three songs in its OST but each one was carefully made. Goodness, having that powerful ballad, with the beautiful rising and falling sounds of the orchestra and Lim Yeon's heartfelt voice singing "In my heart In my heart, if this is love, I’m not afraid In my heart I’ll always be by your side, I’ll be facing you In my Heart
With all my strength Even if it’s regretful or painful, I don’t care I’ll hold out my hand and go to you It’s where I need to be, all my love" That drama broke me.
And though I didn't cry over Youth of May, Lee Do Hyun made me drown in tears multiple times with his performance in 18 Again. 2020 was a good year...
I don't know, but there's a looong, time-consuming procedure the father has to go through to register the child (This is before 2015). During that time, he can't hire babysitters or send the kid to a daycare center. So he has to take care of her 24/7 AND find a way to earn enough to pay for all services out of his own pocket. The law was there to protect mothers and children when DNA testing didn’t exist.
"No birth registration means that a child doesn't exist legally. They have no social security number and no access to any of the government’s childcare or welfare policies, not even health insurance. Children under the age of 12 are vaccinated for free, but for those who are not registered, each shot ranges in cost from 10,000 won ($8.80) to 150,000 won. Hospital visits must be paid for out of pocket too." https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/03/28/culture/features/single-father-Sarang-birth-registration/20210328153300693.html

I agree that she has to pay for what she's done. However, I don't think she's plotting something right now. Gun's persistent kindness seems to be swaying her. When she had flashbacks comparing Gun's acceptance and love for her with YG's cold rejection, it seemed like she was slowly realizing how foolish she had been.
To me, Jo Sa Ra always seemed to be a tantrum-throwing child who never grew up. Even though it's kinda unfair to Cha Gun, she is getting her redemption through him. I want to see her go on her knees and beg for forgiveness, but I wouldn't mind her having a happy ending. She seems to like him, and I liked the way she stood up for him, didn't allow her mom to talk ill of him, and didn't mince her words or try to hide her relationship with him when her mother disapproved. The hat and scarf he bought her didn't really match her style but she seemed genuinely happy and meant it when she told him she liked it because they were gifts from him. She always used to turn up her nose at poverty or anything beneath the wealthy lifestyle she was obsessed with having, but she didn't mind standing in line for a long time to get the food Gun wanted to eat with her. I may be naive and way too forgiving, but I really think she isn't faking it. I think the key to her redemption is letting go of Sejong. She's been obsessed with him and the imaginary life she had built in her head.
I also think the writer is kinda going easy on her because lots of people like Park Ha Na and her terrific acting.
It was so satisfying the way she pointed out that WDR was basically asking her to rob YG ,Her appearance reminds…
You are so right about her resembling Fraulein Rottenmeier 😂😂 I also thought she looked a bit like Mary Poppins at first lol - the same no-nonsense-but-savage personality
yayyy today's episode started out stormily but the second half was quite peaceful...
i never ever dreamed I'd say this... but I kinda like the new Sa Ra. Sure, she's gonna have to face consequences, but there are enough of psycho obsessive women in this drama. the change is refreshing and Cha Gun is a good guy.

it streams live so it doesn't have subs
