It was odd to me that both Haejun and his mom didn't approach their respective partners, Juwon's Dad and Dal,…
juwon's dad's case was bound to happen since they had no time at all to build anything. we discussed this last week that a wedding maybe too much with no dev. but that ending was super good so it didn't bother me, anything for the good vibes and beautiful pics we got haha 😂
i really can't forgive the fact sanha's b of a mother didn't apologize to the end. neither was juwon or the rest of the family made aware of his insomnia and struggles. i get why it's freeing him to say out loud that he's hurting too, because he as a character is written to be someone who hides all pain and lets out nothing. so it sets him free to tell her his pain, who is the source of that same pain. that's fine. but how can the writer turn a blind eye to the damage the mother caused him? sanha's weakness was his constant yearning for his mother's love, and her forgiveness (he did nothing wrong but he felt guilty nevertheless) - so maybe not an explicit sorry from her cuz that's too much to expect from that woman but maybe even a "i was hurting too" or something.
the mother had a push and pull relationship with him. she wanted him in her life but it then reminded her of the dead daughter. that's why her ideal ending should have been medical treatment not migration to UK where sanha has to visit. well a complete cut off isn't possible because of his sister either. so a apology could have gone a long way if they wanted to still keep them in contact.
the only saving grace of that dynamic is the two actors who did exceptionally well showing the conflict. i loved the drama so this is my only complaint.
end was too bubbly and bright and dissappointing. Just like how hae juns time away from the family and his injuries…
i agree with you regarding sanha and his mother. the writer had perfect ingredients all ready to go but just didn't try/ was able to blend it together. instead went with the easier story/character w.r.t haejun and his mom issue. cuz that was a straight forward story, easier to resolve. a lot more care and attention was needed to tell sanha's story, it would have made this a masterpiece if the writer was bold enough to tackle any one of parental abuse, abandonment, trauma attachment, or mental health. instead the writer opted for none.
my mouth hurts from smiling so much 😭 the ending was so wholesome. thank you for this drama. it made my weekdays and the last two months better and warm. despite some shortfalls, it tied up well. some plotpoints left that I would have liked to be explored more - especially in regards to sanha's pain and mental health. and ofcourse his mother. the writer didn't push the envelope enough when she had all the ingredients on a platter. a stronger writer could have done wonders.
it's a light hearted watch, all the characters are lovable you are bound to have a good time.
final ep today, so what are our expectations for sanha's mom? kdrama divine intervention that gives her a realistic check in the final episode and sets her straight? or a direct ticket to a mental asylum? redemption/no redemption?
love the drama but is it just me or some scenes are just the writer's laziness
true.writer is a rookie so not sure if it's laziness or lack of experience/talent. she gets some things right but cut shorts some scenes and development abruptly. like taking the easier route instead of going for it yk?
exactly. we call sanha juwon's arc rushed now imagine the parents. they could be maybe dating by the end of the show but marriage is a bit much. especially since we haven't seen her in a long time, there's a disconnect. she has to connect with juwon as well if she's going to be her legal parent, i can't see all of it being justifiably happening in two eps
Am I only one loving the main leads too yeah I love the second leads too both couples are cute
no me too! i absolutely love the leads. the chemistry is great between both the couples that's the best thing the drama gave us two absolutely adorable pairings 🥹
i wish the show would explore more of the dynamics between sanha and his parents. especially the relationship with his dad. there's so much potential there for a good arc, would have loved to see him step up against that women for his son and offer a shoulder when he needed it.
ep8 it totally gets more fun as we go along. the mystery element in fantasy dramas is the best. keeps you guessing…
ep lmao the bgms are in a league of their own 😂 the comedy here is so good. the chaste tea apparently has zero effect exhibit master lee being flustered over a caught up thread lol 😂
oh boy when i tell you i bawled when sanha broke down infront of haejun. he was holding off for too long, always hiding his suffering, pretending like all is fine. i was praying for him to press that door bell in the previous scene after he met the mom. when he finally broke down, it hurt but also felt liberating. the crying scene was so real and raw - the acting was wonderful, i cried with sanha.
now i want a scene where juwon gets to know about the pills and the mental struggles too. i know it would break juwon more than anything else. maybe one with his dad as well? he deserves a parental hug, and we sure ain't getting it from the woman we call sanha's mother!
