All three characters lack self-respect actually, especially SML. SFL is the only one with self-respect.

Tall, dark, handsome.

Bonghee, grandma and grandpa are being so stupid and reckless. They should be more careful in using that stolen money. Can't imagine what will happen after the wedding.

Is green veggie smoothie an actual company in South Korea?

My final review and theory about Dear Hyeri:

I think Alter Hyeri represents only the happy positive characteristics of EH. Though EH was living a life as her younger sister, she didn’t behave as the real HR. Rather she just dressed up like her and did what Real HR dreamt of doing. However while she lived as herself, her EH personality represented her sadness, loneliness and negative characteristics of herself. So her personality fractured into two self. As HR, she could live a carefree happy life. She didn’t earn any money, she seems confident about her looks and life. She even chose the ideal dream life partner for her, JY who is only nice to those whom he cares for. On the contrary, as EH, she was dealing with guilt, facing career problem, she was told she was too old or not accomplished enough.
Surprisingly as HR, EH was able to console both JY and his mom. JY was bitter about life and his loss wasn’t acknowledged by anyone, especially by his mom who even blamed him, causing him more pain. And she also knew how to solve her own issues. The journey of seeking answers often leads us back to ourselves, where the answers have quietly waited all along.
To be happy she decided to live as HR, even moved to the forest where real HR was lost. But ultimately she discovered how wrong her decision was and how she will process her grief. Most importantly her happiness lies in being with the person she loves. And when she poured out her grief, HO listened patiently, holding space for the weight of her sorrow.
After 12 long years, HO ultimately opened up to EH about the burden of his responsibilities and dysfunctional family situation. It seemed so easy that one might wonder, ‘Then why did he wait so long? Why was he so fearful?’ But isn’t fear supposed to be irrational as it often doesn’t follow any logic? And EH knew how to console him. She knew how to handle him when he was overwhelmed.
And to be honest, the real EH possesses uniquely quirky personality that some people might find it irritating or off-putting. But HO finds her endering, he doesn’t hold her back from being herself; instead, he playfully engages with her while attentively tending to her needs.
And even though if JY didn’t win the girl, his healing began after meeting her. He played a vital role in her healing journey as well.
SHS nailed the character as there was four different personality: 1. Sad EH, 2. Happy EH as HR, 3. EH pretending to be HR and 4. The real EH who exhibits both the positive and negative characteristics of herself.
SHS and LJW shared such a natural chemistry between them. Their chemistry depicted how comfortable EH and HO are together. The portrayals mirrored the warmth and intimacy of their connection and bond.
What truly disappoints me is the abrupt shift in tone within the storyline. The drama was detail-oriented but there was a redundancy of unnecessary details. There were supporting characters who just wasted time, served no purpose. Some were unbearable. The production team just wasted money on them as these characters just annoyed the viewers. EH's healing should've shown with more details. I wouldn’t mind if the story showed jumps forward in time, at least a few months. And her career suddenly seems to be well. So does it mean she was sabotaging her own career by leading a double life?
The proposal scene doesn’t seem to fit there. It could've been implied some other ways.
Though I don’t dismiss his improvement, HO will need input from those around him from time to time, as he still needs to work on his emotional intelligence.He should see a therapist for his own issues.
Lastly I really admired Jion as one of the few sane characters in the drama.
Nevertheless, the writer should not feel disheartened. She presented a unique story that I found intriguing enough to invest my time in. 9/10.
Thanks for reading.

His eye expressions 😍😍😍

The point most people missed.

Kang Hoon was brilliant in such scenes. I think it was pointed his mother will console him from now on as she was patting his hand. It seems she acknowledged how much pain he was in.

I absolutely agree with you.

There is multiple love triangles. But most importantly there is definitely a love triangle among FL, ML and SML.

That introvert homely teenager is forever gone 😭

Did you watch correctly? ML needed time to process the accident. He was stunned and felt guilty despite he wasn't at fault. It was the FL who convinced him to do the news. And he would be doing it only until Jae recovers.

He has. It was a flashback scene.

I love the girl HY so much. One of best characters.

She is eccentric. That's why maybe. It's even crazier that HO also doesn't seem to bother about this. Otherwise HO, JY, MY and HY should be the only person present there. Also that old guy who harassed HY and throwed water at JY.

They shouldn’t be that lovey-dovey in front of JY.

I am not sad for that Chorong girl btw😁.

I think she thought HO was from an affluent family with divorced parents. I wonder how come they never talked about his family situation before.

All she does is annoying others and whining.
