Yi-chan said everything I said (on another platform) a few episodes back in response to someone making excuses for the dad. Intentions be damned. You leave the care of your child to someone who makes her cry because you want her to fit your version of normal. He wants her to smile at him? Fuck him. So he noticed she was withdrawn and unhappy. Wow. Father of the Year. 12 bloody years of abuse. I'm mad all over again.
Next two episodes are going to be heavy af but I trust the writers will give us a clear happy ending.
Lost some of its colour for me after Zong Yi went to jail and some of the plot choices had me rolling my eyes but still a solid BL. Chen Yi and Ai Di being thoroughly whipped for each other was the highlight of ep 13 for me. They're so cute. Looking forward to the next BL from the same writer. She's done some pretty impressive work.
Replacing her meds with candy was such an ick moment for me. I could overlook all that talk about being a replacement for her meds but switching them with candy? I don't know what the writer was thinking because that is light-years away from romantic.
Grandma was the MVP this episode. "I lied." Looooool. Love her sm.
Their youth really twinkled in this episode. Yi-chan's confession, Cheong-ah's acceptance, all the kids together... so heartwarming.
For someone who has failed the exam four times he sure acts like a peacock.
I really like how Hyo-shim is not a doormat and does not make excuses for her family's behaviour. Imagine having been treated this way almost all your life. My guess is that she was also her father's favourite and her mother has made her feel guilty/responsible in some way for her father's leaving so she feels a need to make up for it somehow. That she even stands up for herself is a miracle considering in these kind of dynamics, the child ends up becoming an adult without any self-esteem. Can't wait for her breaking point so she dumps those grifters.
As much as Tae-min is my point-of-hate character, the man is fine fine in formal wear. That said, watching him act all jealous made me barf a little from embarrasment. Glad Tae-ho was ready with a sliding tackle answer. He's so cute.
That bastard. Urgh. Deliberately sabotaging her. I guess Eun Mo-rae will make her appearance soon. I hope not but I'm pretty sure they'll make her a bitchy character.
Stopped at ep 9. Picked up again at 2x speed and made it to ep 12 2/4.
The first couple episodes had something but it devolved into a mess of blandness for me. It didn't suck. It just left me cold, indifferent. And tbh that's worse because if I hated it at least it elicited some kind of emotion.
I'll like to see Papang in a main role in something. His character felt the most natural like he didn't have to try too hard.
Oh for fuck's sake. Watched what I thought was a stellar episode only to come and read some of these comments. How do y'all manage to find one thing to nitpick while ignoring all the other great things that happened in the show/episode?
There were some comments a couple of episodes ago about how this drama is more about the kids coming to the future to find themselves. Whatever "mission" they set for themselves in the past is just their way of trying to fix what's wrong with their lives in the present. It is not about their parents, it's about them. Let's not forget that they're 18.
Eun Gyeol is fixated on saving his dad because, if you've been paying attention, that's where everything began to go wrong in his dad's life. We're not ignoring the fact that they were poor for the better part of his childhood, right? And all of that suffering was compounded by, well, ableism. Then their first child is born deaf as well. Imagine finally having a hearing child and that child becomes a ray of hope for the family. He was translating at home, at the restaurant, at his brother's judo classes. In addition to the pressure of being the perfect studious son. As much as they loved him, his parents made him into a person whose sole purpose was to serve/save his family. And the one time he tries to do something for himself, his brother and father almost die. Imagine the guilt? (I kinda think first daughters in families where both parents worked who had the responsibility of parenting their younger siblings will completely understand Eun Gyeol.)
As for Se Kyeong, her wanting to die by suicide because of all the emotional abuse she's endured over the years, tells you all you need to know about her. The happy-go-lucky Se Kyeong in 1995 is living without the abuse/pressure for the first time in her life. The character is true to the situation. She hasn't taken anything very seriously (even her mission) since she came to the past.
More Yoon Cheong Ah would have been nice and I hope that'll happen in the last few episodes. She's such a great character. I can understand why she has fewer scenes though. The character's lines take longer to deliver (her sign language isn't very good yet) and outside of falling in love with Yi Chan, she does not move the plot forward much. Fingers crossed the writers show the parents falling in love so we get to see more of her.
One thing that's certain, love or hate the way the show is going, the actors are 10/10. Choi Hyun Wook also played a goofy character in 25-21 yet there's quite a distinction between Yi Chan and Ji Woong.
Ep 11 delivered so much but I kind of think the accident that takes the dad's hearing hasn't happened yet.
A glance A touch A dance To look in somebody's eyes To light up the skies
I'm not mad that the leads aren't getting plenty of screen time together because when they do, it's electric. They light up around each other.
Had to remind myself I don't believe in putting hands on children. That bratty kid. It's not her fault though. She has terrible parents. This drama has so many terrible parents I don't even know where to start.
The end of ep 2 had me tearing up. The music is so good. Actually felt like it was live singing. The bromance and sismance are going to be off the charts in this one.
Wanted to slap the skin off that crab ajusshi. A fucking op. And his son turned out just like him.
TIP: The best way to enjoy this drama is to not get stuck in the "who is Kiho?" quandary.
Yeah, I can see the appeal of a 'person out of time' storyline but 15 years is too short a time, particularly…
15 years is a long time if you're not there to see the changes happen year after year. The small things add up and what might seem inconsequential is a big deal for someone who missed the changing times. Look up the experiences of people who went to jail for 10+ years. They weren't completely cut off but adjusting still took some time.
I have a lot of faith in the writer's ability to handle the story without it being ridiculous/corny.
