Really loving this drama so far! The acting is top-notch, the chemistry between the two leads is killer, and the action sequences keep you on your toes.
Honestly I too noticed the same stuff. And I am now thinking of putting this drama on hold. I am really empathetic…
I honestly thought about putting this show on hold as well, but I can't bring myself to do it. I have a special fondness for this drama, even though it can be too much at times and all over the place. So I want to see this series through, even if I end up utterly heartbroken and disappointed in the end.
And I agree with you. The adults have not only messed up their lives they've royally messed up their children's lives as well. Knowing what we know about the parents and what they've done and who they are, it just fuels my conviction that Shi Hyun, Tae Hee, and the gang deserve a happy ending. I don't want to see them get swallowed up by their parents mistakes and in turn, make the same mistakes as the adults. I want to see them find their own paths, overcome their faults, and learn to genuinely love.
Yeah, I hate watching the scenes where Shi Hyun is basically tormenting himself with the past. Because like you said, he believes his mother to be the cause of a great wound for Tae Hee when in fact, this detail is a huge lie. As for him feeling guilty and ashamed for initially deceiving Tae Hee, yes, that's on him. But he's beating himself up to an extreme when he could just be honest with her. Tae Hee has shown herself to be a forgiving and understanding individual, especially towards those she loves. I think if Shi Hyun was to be honest now, then for her find out much later or to find out from someone else, I think she would be more open to burying the hatchet. But we shall see in the upcoming episodes.
I am hoping right alongside you, that we get a happy ending... *fingers crossed*
Okay, is it just me or does episode 21 & 22 seem kind of...foreboding?
I know this drama is loosely based upon the French novel (and we all know how it ends) but I had a wild hope that TGS might stray away from its processor and give us more of a happy and fulfilling ending. But having seen the newest two episodes, I'm not so hopeful anymore. I say this because of the events that unfolded in ep 21 & 22–mainly 22.
Here are the reasons as I why I think this: In ep 22, Shi Hyun has a confrontation with Soo Ji, confessing his love and shame towards Tae Hee. Of course, this is nothing odd in itself, but what Shi Hyun says towards the end of their conversation is what stood out to me. "That's why I'm going to beg until she forgives me. Even if I die, I'll still beg her." Now, if you've watched enough K-dramas then you know how said dramas are heavy with foreshadowing. Plus, towards the middle of the episode Shi Hyun makes a wish that Tae Hee will not forgive him and that he'll receive a punishment befitting of what he's done. Lastly, this is the string that connects everything together, Shi Hyun begins to write in a journal, confessing everything to Tae Hee.
All this being said, if you connect the dots and account for the story that it is based upon, then the ending will be tragic. The way I see this story unfolding is Shi Hyun dies, most likely by a car accident (this being the punishment he thinks he deserves) and the journal being Shi Hyu's way of asking Tae Hee for forgiveness, even in death.
Now I hope to God, I am dead WRONG and I'm just reading too much into things and it's one of those dramas were you think the main lead has died but at the very last moment you see said lead character living happily ever after with the other lead.
CHEESE IN THE TRAP gave me major second lead syndrome...like, by the end of the drama, I was no longer shipping Seol with In Ho, I was shipping In Ho with myself.
This show is quickly becoming one of my favorites–if not my favorite drama of 2018. I'm highly impressed with the amazing acting, the humanly raw and simplistic storyline, and the dark, yet hopeful atmosphere MY MSITER radiates. It's pure perfection and right up my alley!
