The most irritating part is that Death thought it was right all the time, Death's judgment was final. I hated that even when the ML did something good, Death still made him think that what he did was wrong. So what was the point? Just be in other people's bodies and then do nothing? This was the most pointless aspect of this drama!
the kind of mentality SK people has toward people with mental disability, I'm not surprised.
So what ! Who gets to decide on your behalf that your choices are wrong? Who gets to decide on your behalf that your problems aren't big enough to warrant taking your own life?
Maybe that's the problem that most people have with the messaging of this drama. Instead of blaming and forcing them to see things the " society's way" no effort is made to understand ML's thinking. You can't judge someone's hard time and just say tough it out!
I understand what the drama was trying to say but at the same time the message feels and seems so one dimensional. Instead of taking a nuanced look at all the characters, Death was bent on making the ML regret his actions only.

I have a different interpretation of this drama. I do not think the message was that you should keep living for…
There is a lot of mixed messages in the drama that gives it a one dimensional look at life and death. Even if you see your mother or anyone else's struggles does that negate your own experiences? It can either motivate you maybe or do nothing. Both choices are not wrong.
The script writer really hated the FL she is the only that seems to have lost alot in the show. From losing her…
It made me happy to learn that the novel has a different ending, where the two women remain best friends and the character of He Han doesn't exist in the novel. Tang Jing marries her boyfriend and Li Zijun marries a different man that she meets. It's such a shame that like most Chinese novels that these dramas are based on rarely have English Translations.
The script writer really hated the FL she is the only that seems to have lost alot in the show. From losing her husband to losing her house to losing her best friend. She just kept losing things.
I had a few issues with this drama and struggled to believe if Li Zijun and He Han were really in love or does He Han just prefer a damsel in distress. It never really feels like Zijun becomes an independent woman or be confident in her own abilities.
I hated how the ex-hubby seemed to abandon his son and never really steps up as a father, that was the most heartbreaking part of this drama and how he was just a sheep with no thought or opinion. Watching him gave me negative feelings all the time. Annoying little man.
If you see this, may you please let me know the title of the Book and the author. Thanks in advance.
if you use the nurture vs nature debate, what then will you say about the FL. She grew up in the same environment with them but turned out differently and was able to fight against the oppression from her parents.
There is also an element of generational cycle of abuse in the story, so I'm a bit sympathetic to the father as he was married to a domineering woman that controlled all aspects of his life. The children had potential to break free from the cycle, that's why I'm kind of disappointed in them.
You also really can't compare their actions IMO there is no excuse for physical assault...ever.

But the kids are now adults, we cannot blame our parents for our bad behaviour as adults. There is no way to justify both the brother's behaviour when they should know better. One even lives in the US but still treats his sister and wife like it's the stone age when he has seen how women should be treated, he even has a daughter. So is he going to treat his daughter this way too? Where do we even begin to justify assault and physical violence against your own sister.
The old man, can be forgiven to be a man of a different generation whose outlook on women is outdated but the brothers have no excuse at all. Plus he is old and has dementia.

Yeah, that's the thing about Asian drama.They always try too hard to make everyone forgive each other even in situations where they deserve jail time. I could maybe forgive the old man, but the brothers that's a stretch.

Thanks so much, you've been such a huge help. I managed to find a few Chinese websites with the book and it has about 101 chapters. I'm already on Chapter 4 using google translate of course not the best, but I'm loving it so far.
I'm actually surprised with some of the details of the book like mum being a nurse, which is not that clear from the series.

Thank you so much. Very sad that it's not translated. I saw that on Amazon it's only Chinese editions. I would have loved to read the story because I just feel it's one of those great stories that would take you on an emotional journey with the characters.
Do you mind spoiling the book ending for me? I will still try to find a Google translated version as well. All we can do at the moment, I guess.
You make it sound like you know all the Kdrama actors out there. You don't have to know her for her to be a popular…
Maybe, but the article clearly states which dramas the actress has been in. The logical conclusion is if you haven't watched any of the dramas how will you know who she is.? And if you don't know who she is you could still try find out or just say congrats. Better still...don't even comment!
I'm sure the article has a targeted audience, the people who actually care that she is getting married. Even after watching hundreds of Kdramas I don't know all the actors or actresses.
In the end, the daughter they mistreated ended up fixing/taking care of everything. It seems that's how life is…
This is one element I really hate about Asian dramas. A lot of Asian shows can never truly give justice to the victims because they put other issues like family, religion ( Buddhism,Taoism, Confucian ect) first. Even in extreme cases where someone deserves jail they will be made to have less consequences than normal. In some Thai shows they become a monk as if that changes everything. Pisses me off so much.
I have to watch this slowly because these misogynistic stories of loser brothers and mothers who don't treat their daughters well drive me crazy. But I will watch it to the end because I need something to be angry about at the moment.
One of the actresses with a very kind, innocent-looking face. She seems low-key even though she has starred in some popular dramas. So I'm surprised but Congrats to her!!
No idea who she is, haven't seen any of those projects listed, but congrats to her and her groom! 😍
You make it sound like you know all the Kdrama actors out there. You don't have to know her for her to be a popular actress. Not knowing her doesn't change anything especially since there are those who have watched her dramas and followed her work.
