2.5 episodes in and it's obviously really good but damn every episode has been heartwrenching... looking for some of that hope they're talking about in the title! Anyone wanna let me know how many episodes in to the show things start getting at least a little more positive so I know I can look foward to it? 😅
Idk on what grounds is it fair for the ML to ask her "Tengyue or me" and then be butthurt when she replies Tengyue- when *he* was the one who chose the company and the business over her to begin with and caused this mess? And I know people could argue "he wasn't choosing the company over her, he thought he was making the best business decision" but the point is he made that decision without her, knowing she would disagree, and then kept it from her, and continued to act lovey dovey with her while decieving her- knowing she would be devestated when she found out. So he was puting business ahead of his relationship, heck even ahead of his respect for her full stop. Is that supposed to be what he's realising right now...? I'd love for that to sink in a little faster.
Also, I almost laughed out loud at the ML being like "Can't we just move past this" !! Glad the FL was like "yeah that's easy for you to say". Imagine hurting someone and then coming them a few weeks later out of the blue and being like "... how about you just get over it now". [Maybe their dinner would have been a good time for some open and honest communication about his regrets about how things went down + his current hesitations over the acquision but I guess he still wasn't ready to be that open with her? Idk why it's on her to forgive him out of the blue when he has done nothing to show her he wants to rectify the situation except give her sad eyes??]
Honestly atm i'm sceptical over how the drama has sufficient space in two episodes to make me believe there's been enough character progression to suggest that the FL and ML's can compromise on their vastly different life values or overcome the broken trust in a healthy way? Honestly I'd have a huge amount of respect for the writers if the couple doesn't actually get together in the end and instead just take this whole ordeal as a learning experience for both of them but somehow I doubt that's happening.
(Finally just wanna say the actors have been doing a great job because it's been a while since I've felt so invested in the actions and motivations of drama characters and conceptualising it as if they're real people for me to love / resent rather than just being like "wtf is the writer thinking here")
1. How did the grandpa become the master?2. How is Eun Yu's family doing now?3. How did they forget Eun Gyeol's…
Yes exactly I have such a hard time picturing the faces of people I went to high school with now if they don't have social media and I'm only in my late twenties lol! I can also suspend disbelief on that point because in 2023 it's not like Eun Gyeol in his 18 year old body pops up in front of them again out of nowhere and they might catch a resemblance. They have him as a baby who grows into, their infant, their child, their teen. So I could see how the face he grew into would be very much just their own child's face in their mind - until some weird coincidences might trigger some memories about a resemblance for Yichan later.
Guys I paused my binging of this show after ep 11 because the MLs actions towards the FL were still feeling frustratingly cold and borderline cruel and I wasn't in the mood to be as sad/angry for her as I was feeling (the mark of good writing, I feel so empathetic and stressed for the FL lol). So just checking in- has their been sufficient character growth from the ML yet? Is the FL starting to thrive yet? I'm not in the mood to extend my stress- I'm hoping to find when things start going better for her so when I binge the rest and catch up I know I'm going to be satisfied rather than vexxed !
(I'm only on ep 11) The thing is, I can tell the writing and the acting are both good in this show because I actively hate the ML and yet I'm still watching. I know he's logically right in a lot of these cases, and me (and the FL) are less business savvy/ more emotional but daaamn he lacks compassion. And he's constantly smug and taunting her despite the fact she's going through the lowest point in her life rn, having lost her only remaining family member, her home, all through no fault of her own- and now the pressure of the livelihoods of so many people on her shoulders. Not to mention she almost jumped off a roof in the earlier episodes and he knows it.
Usually most MLs are attractive to me to an extent on a personality level but tbh I'd sooner punch this man in the face than want to date him (not a comment on GJ lol he's doing a great job acting). Let's see if the writers can manage to convince me XS is the right person for our FL at least though...
I'm only on the first ep and damn this FL is like... distractingly beautiful. Ofc most fls in cdramas are usually pretty but this actress is like next level stunning.
(I'm only on ep 10) I know there's a lot of bigger problems going on rn but for some reason my brain is hung up on the fact his older brother seemed to have feelings for / have something going on with Eunyu in 2023 so I'm curious how that's going to play out once they're all back in the future.
I've not finished the drama, but I am on ep 20ish now. Can someone who knows the plot better clarify- the description of the drama says "Having been on and off friends with Xu Xiao Bo for years, Qi Qi has recently started to notice that it’s become a lot more difficult to understand their relationship. Sometimes it seems like his feelings for her have developed into something beyond friendship but at other times, it seems like they’re nothing more than old acquaintances."
Is this a mistake? Doesn't this more accurately describe her relationship with Zhang Jun? The description seems like it's talking about her high school life but from what I can see, her bond with XBB in high school at the moment is a strong one, not that they have been "on and off for years". Or is that what her relationship with XBB becomes later on in the story?
I really wanted to wait until this was done to binge it but couldn't help myself- and that's bad for two reasons: now I'm caught up and have to wait 14 hours for the next ep 😔 and I'm worried this whole series is going to make me sad and then have an open ending which is going to hurt so much 😔.
Also I want to find a completed drama to help make the time go faster but when you're watching something this beautiful it's hard to fill your time with any basic cdrama because the comparisons will make it hard to watch!
I'm interested in this drama but I really dislike the break up + years separation trope (especially when it happens near the end of a drama) so I might wait to see how that all plays out and how viewers feel about it before starting on this...
This is the first drama I've watched in yyeaaarrsss where I literally have to pause it and take a breath because I can't handle all the feelings lol - whether its the heart fluttering moments, the emotional moments, or the stressful moments
If I'm not mistaken, when I first read some comments on this drama near the start, it was filled with people really disliked the MLs behaviour but now comments seem more positive generally. I'm not looking for specific spoilers but did things change? character growth? Were early events misunderstandings? Either way is it well-written / does it feel earned? I don't mind watching dramas where characters grow and develop but I'm not really in the mood to watch the type where a grown man ML is a complete dick at the beginning and we're supposed to grow to find it endearing lol.
The way I was completely in agreement with the panel for the message predictions but then the whole thing turned out way messier than we could have predicted lol! Interesting first ep, so far they seem like a likable bunch and for once it's not immediately predictable who our CPs are. I'd like to see more interaction between them all but based on first impressions I liked the idea of Zhengzheng and Zhang.
Okay I just starting watching the first episode on a whim and in the first 10 minutes I was like "hey this is funny, looks like it'll be pretty comedic" and didn't realise I would be freaking bawling in the second half of the ep. This ML is a fantastic actor! I'm excited to watch the whole show but now I know I have to emotionally brace myself for a roller coaster.
It could make better sense if it was named Taxi driver 🤣😂 But the title was already booked for the amazing…
I don't know about in korean, but in English it is quite a witty name! The word "deliverance / deliver" also has the meaning of being set free or liberated , often used in the biblical sense that way (i.e "deliver me from evil and bring me safely into the kingdom of heaven" etc).
So it's funny to call him something as basic and normal as a "delivery man" when instead of packages, he's actually "delivering" spirits (both meanings- he's driving them to where they need to go in his car like packages, but also setting them free from being trapped on earth into the afterlife / heaven.)

I'm really enjoying it in general though!
